Napoleon Freestyle 425 4 Burner Natural Gas Grill - Graphite Grey - F425DNGT

The Napoleon freestyle 425 grill is wonderful! We love the sleek and stylish look. It was easy to put together and took maybe 2 hours tops to put it together (only because we had to stop for 15 minutes to tend to a few things). Not bad at all! We love that the sides of the grill folds down for easy storage. We have a small shed so it makes it so much easier to store away while not being used. The food cooks perfectly on it. We love the durable and strong rack of it. The grill hides the ugly Propane tank nicely. You can tell a lot of thought went into this grill. The quality is amazing. We absolutely love it!

Two things I wanted to highlight on this grill: performance and cooking surface. This grill heats up FAST, and I love that I don't have to wait too long to cook and enjoy my meal! It's fast and the heat controls make it easy to turn it up for a quick sear or low for some slower cooking. The grill surface itself puts up some fancy grill marks and its been a joy to cook off and cleans up easily. I'm impressed that I don't have to work too hard to clean it, as I have with other grills in the past. Besides that, the compact size is handy in my backyard, with wheels to move it, and it doesn't take too much space to cook for my family. This grill is a winner for me!

I recieved the Napoleon Freestyle to try out. I love to cook but I've never tried grilling before. I love the look of the grill and it has 4 burners there's so many things that I can make. The grill came just in time for summer I can have so many cookouts

Grill assembly took about an hour and the available instructions on built app are very helpful and the burn-in was a breeze. The grill is very sturdy, distributes the heat evenly and cleaning is pretty easy. The gas dials are sturdy and the spark ignition is flawless. I'm very happy with this grill!

I will be honest, I have never heard of this brand before, but I am so ecstatic I found it. I found that whether you used the instruction booklet it came with or the app, assembly was easy. Very lightweight and easy to maneuver around the patio. High quality build that will last for many years to come. I think the Graphite Gray color is gorgeous on a grill, I definitely prefer it over normal, boring stainless steel. I've kept my Freestyle covered, when not in use, so I've found that a simple microfiber cloth cleans the dust/dirt off easily. Getting it lit is very easy and fast, which is perfect for those last minute/quick meals. The grates are truly non-stick, I even forgot to season them, and I had no issues with food sticking. They were very easy to clean up afterwards with just a simple Grill cleaning sponge. As an added bonus there is a bottle opener, which is convenient, especially for my Husband or family BBQs. The warming/secondary rack worked out perfectly for baked potatoes. This Napoleon - Freestyle 425 Grill has been the talk of the town on my street. Oh, I forgot to mention that it comes with a 10yr warranty! I mean, it can't get any better than that.

Love the Napoleon Freestyle 425! Love the bottle opener too. Heats up fast, and cooks everything evenly! My favorite feature of this grill is the build quality. Top-quality, best grill I have ever had. Arrived fast. Was easy to assemble.

We are so happy with this grill! It is so classy looking! Was very easy to set up! I can't wait to buy more products from this line! I will highly recommend to my family and friends! I am so happy that I got to try it!

----- SUMMARY ----- Verdict: The Napoleon Freestyle 425 gives me the confidence to grill for family and friends because it's hassle-free and reliable. Firing it up is instant, and it can get to the desired temperature quickly. Not only is this grill effective, but also convenient, thanks to thoughtful design aspects like the integrated tool hooks and bottle opener. This is a high-quality grill backed by Napoleon's 10-year bumper-to-bumper warranty which ensures that this grill will be providing delicious results for years to come. If you're in the market for a compact, midrange grill the Freestyle 425 should be at the top of your list. Pros: - Sleek, compact, and aesthetically pleasing design - Wheels on one side for easy rolling - Foldable side shelves for easy storage - Burners light instantly - Heats up quickly - Exceptional heat control and cooks evenly - Integrated tool hooks and bottle opener - Backed by a 10-year bumper-to-bumper warranty Cons: - Instructions were a bit difficult to follow at times ----- DETAILS ----- Setup: Unboxing and assembling the Freestyle 425 was a mostly good experience. It comes in a compact box with numerous pieces, so be prepared for quite a bit of assembly. My wife and I were able to assemble it in about 45 minutes. We appreciated the instructions, but some steps were difficult to understand because certain parts weren't labeled, so there's some room for improvement in that regard. Otherwise, all the necessary parts were included in the box and everything fit together nicely. Design: The Freestyle 425 is a good-looking grill. It's on the smaller end when it comes to grill size, but I like the sleek and compact design. I also like the gray and black color scheme with silver accents. Every piece looks and feels well made. There are two plastic wheels on one side which allow you to move the grill around pretty easily by picking up the opposite side. Since the grill isn't very large, moving it doesn't require much effort. The bottom storage area where the propane tank and grease trap are has a door with a handle and magnetic clasp. The propane tank fits nicely but you don't have room for much else. Each side of the grill has side shelves that both retract to further reduce the grill's footprint. There are tool hooks on both sides, and one of the sides has a bottle opener, which is a nice touch. I wish my model had a side burner, but it looks like there is another Freestyle 425 model that does, so you might want to consider that if you anticipate using a side burner. Under the hood, there's a warming rack, porcelainized cast iron cooking grids, and porcelain-enameled sear plates that cover up the burner ports. The firebox below is cast aluminum without any seams, so it has good heat control and prevents grease from getting on your patio or wherever you are using the grill. Overall, it's a basic design, but it gets the job done and looks great doing it. Features & Performance: Napoleon named their ignition system "JETFIRE", and it lives up to the name. It literally shoots a jet of flame to light each gas burner. Startups are quick and reliable every single time. I also noticed that if you have multiple burners going and one gets blown out by the wind, it will automatically reignite because there are crossbars connecting the burners in the back. Whether I'm using all the burners or just a couple, all the food I have put on this grill seems to cook evenly. I like that the Freestyle 425 gets hot very quickly, especially when I don't have much time. In about five minutes with all the burners on, it can get to 700 degrees. The wide temperature range and ability to monitor the temperature on the hood's gauge add versatility and control over what you're grilling. One final thing worth mentioning is that Napoleon offers a 10-year bumper-to-bumper warranty on this grill, which is very impressive. I haven't seen any other similar grills with that good of a warranty, so the 10-year exceeds my expectations and gives me peace of mind knowing that Napoleon has such confidence in their materials and workmanship.

This grill has worked great for me! The instructions were clear and it was easy to put together. It is very well made and surprisingly light weight for the exterior pieces, yet well constructed for the center pieces. It has grilled up some burgers and steaks with no problems, while getting some great sear marks and having a great flavor! I have no issues with this grill and hope to use it for decades.

This grill has turned me into a foodie. Napoleon has absolutely dominated the grill game from the assembly, design, and function. First we will get into assembly. The instructions were extremely easy to follow and everything fit like a glove. It took maybe 20 minutes max to put this together. The design is absolutely flawless. The outside appearance of the grill is sleek and sophisticated. There are shelves on the side which can fold up and down for easy storage. BONUS, one of the shelves even has a bottle opening. The grill doesn't have a traditional ignitor button. All you do is turn the knob and it ignites automatically. One of my favorite features, are the grates. I haven't seen a design like this before, and in my opinion, it pushes it to the top for design features. Napoleon has brought their "A-Game" when it comes to functionality. I've used it three times in the last two weeks of having this grill and every single time I've had mouthwatering food. It cooks everything and delivers a delicious tasting meal. I can't say enough about this product. Thank you for delivering high quality products!!
