The Weber Baby Q 100

If you have been looking for a grill and have become confused trying to compare the Weber Baby Q (Q 100) Portable Gas Grill to the 386002 Q 100 you are not alone. A reviewer could find no discernible difference between these two grills.

While one would expect the Baby Q 100 to be somewhat smaller than the 386602 Q 100 such is not the case. Both have the same exact dimensions and the same amount of cooking area.

This means in essence if you all ready own the 386002 Q 100 and purchase the Baby Q you will have the same Weber Portable Grills . They even earn the same 4.5 star ratings in reviews although there are more reviews available for the baby Q, which could possible mean its more popular with buyers.

Overall Ratings

Conclusion - Overall

While each Weber Portable Grill reviewed here received high ratings there seems to be little difference in any of these grills.

The 1520 does have a different shape and a somewhat smaller cooking surface but, overall, there is little difference in the overall durability, design, or performance.

This means that if you like the way one of these grills perform chances are you will like them all and any one may be ideal for that tailgating party, trip to the beach, or camping trip.
