2 Reasons For for Choosing the Philips HD4419
The Philips HD4419 has an adjustable thermostat, and so do the DeLonghi BG 500 C, the Tefal OptiGrill + GC712D and the Weber Q 1400, whereas the Char-Broil Patio Bistro does not. More ...
Some barbecues have an adjustable thermostat that can be altered, to change the heat up or down.
Different food cook best at different temperatures, so the ability to change the heat level of your BBQ means that you can always pick the best temperature for what you're cooking.
The Philips HD4419 features cool-touch handle, and so does the DeLonghi BG 500 C, whereas the Char-Broil Patio Bistro, the Tefal OptiGrill + GC712D and the Weber Q 1400 do not. More ...
A barbecue with cool touch handles is specially designed to be always cool to the touch, even when the main body of the BBQ is extremely hot.
Cool touch handles mean that the BBQ is far easier to move around and handle, and there is less of a chance of you accidentally burning yourself on hot metal. Which hurts. A lot.

Some barbecues come with a lid which can be closed over the top of grill whilst it is cooking.
A lid on a BBQ is extremely helpful for stopping the spread of smoke, as well as keeping the heat contained, meaning the food cooks quicker, and there's less chance of an accident. It's absolutely essential for trapping the smoke for hot-smoking food as well.
The Philips HD4419 is a 300mm cooking surface barbecue. That's 100mm smaller than the DeLonghi BG 500 C (400mm) and 130mm smaller than the Weber Q 1400 (430mm). More ...
