 | Napoleon LEX485 PSSI've had my Napoleon 485PSS for 4 years now. Had a Weber NG unit before but prefer the Napoleon as the heat is better and more consistently distributed. | Was This Helpful? |
| Best BBQ I ever ownedI bought this a few months ago and its game changing. Cooks meat perfect every time and very well built. Very happy with this purchase | Was This Helpful? |
| Great grill all aroundI bought the grill about 1 year ago it the best grill I have ever owned cooks everything perfect | Was This Helpful? |
| Would not purchase again.Something is wrong with the SS and it rusts. I need to constantly scrub and polish the outside of the cover. That isn't normal. Think there is a production issue. Staff Response:Thank you for reaching out regarding your LEX485. We are sorry to hear you are not satisfied with the product. Based on your photo, this appears to be common surface oxidation that will occur on stainless steel. SS is not completely rust proof, unlike gold or platinum. To limit surface oxidation, wash often using a soft cloth and a mild dish soap but detergents containing chloride should be avoided. If you experience further concerns with your product please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer experience department at 1-866-820-8686 or via email at grills@napoleon.com | Was This Helpful? |

The Skinny:
- Great buy for the money
- Reliable ignition system
- “Sizzle zone” infrared burner and ice bin with cutting board
- Good warranty
Things We Love:
Napoleon LEX gas grills are an excellent value, especially considering the grill's innovative accessories and features. The LEX series offers and optional infrared rear burner, an infrared “sizzle-zone” burner, and a built-in ice bucket with integrated cutting board. I also really like Napoleon’s doubled lined “lift-ease” lid, which opens easily and helps hold in heat for oven like cooking. The lid is hinged near the middle, and when open adds hardly any depth to the back of the grill allowing for easy placement in a variety of spaces.
Napoleon offers a generous grilling area for the price, and there are a lot of accessories available, so you can increase the versatility of the grill. If you love the flavor of charcoal, you can put in a charcoal tray and use the burners to light the charcoal, then turn them off. They also have a smoker tube accessory that you can fill with wood chips and add more layers of flavor to your BBQ. A rotisserie kit is also available so you can utilize the infrared rear burner on select models. I like that this is an option. That way people who aren’t interested in the rotisserie don’t have to pay for something they won’t use.
The warranty on the LEX series is a standout in its class, having a lifetime warranty on the exterior housing and cooking grids. Napoleon also boasts a 10 year + 5 warranty on their burners and flame tamers that provides replacement parts at a 50% of normal cost for 5 years after the 10 year warranty expires.
Thing To Consider:
While this grill is built tough, and backed by a strong warranty, Napoleon LEX grills are not "all stainless steel", which is what many customers are shopping for nowadays. Along with the stainless steel components on the grill, you will also find cast aluminum and porcelain enameled steel components too, such as cart legs, back panels, etc.
