When the weather turns warm, we tend to move our entertaining outdoors. Grilling with family and friends is a great way to spend a summer evening, but how much should you spend on a grill? We’re no experts, so we checked out what Consumer Reports had to say about grills. They tested 151 grills, ranging from $90-$2,600. ” Performance wasn’t always tied to price, but features, construction, and warranty often were,” their report stated. Although grills can get expensive, the good new is that the pros at Consumer Reports has several grill recommendations for $300 or less.
