159 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other grills, grill parts and burners, smokers and smoking gear, grill tools, outdoor griddles, outdoor kitchen appliances and grill covers we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Kenmore PG-A40409S0LB brings stainless steel construction, 4 burners, and 593 square inches of cooking area to the nearly $480 price point. It measures 21.8 by 53.2 by 45.4 inches and weighs 88.2 pounds, putting it in the full-size category. The stainless steel and metal construction is a reasonable material choice for a grill in this range.
The 4.1-star rating from 159 reviewers is adequate but not standout for a grill at this price. At nearly $480, buyers generally expect strong performance and build quality. A 4.1 with 159 reviews suggests most buyers are fine with it, but there is enough mixed feedback to merit reviewing before purchasing, especially compared to Royal Gourmet models offering similar specs at lower prices.
At 10,000 BTU for 593 square inches, the BTU-to-surface ratio is similar to other mid-range 4-burner grills in this guide. Four independent burners across that surface give you workable zone control for cooking different items at different temperatures simultaneously.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Kenmore PG-A40409S0LB worth $480?
At $479.99 with a 4.1-star average from 159 reviews, it is passable but not the most competitive value at that price. Grills in the $280 to $300 range from Royal Gourmet offer comparable cooking area, similar BTU, and higher ratings. The Kenmore name and stainless steel construction are the main arguments for the higher price.
What are the dimensions of the Kenmore PG-A40409S0LB?
Assembled, it measures 21.8 by 53.2 by 45.4 inches and weighs 88.2 pounds. That is a full-size four-burner footprint requiring a cleared patio space of roughly 4.5 feet wide by 2 feet deep at minimum. At 88 pounds, plan for two people to position it during setup.
How does the Kenmore compare to Royal Gourmet in this price range?
Royal Gourmet's 4-burner grills in the $280 to $300 range offer comparable cooking area and BTU with higher ratings and lower prices. The Kenmore adds stainless steel construction and brand recognition for about $190 more. Whether that trade-off is worth it depends on how much the brand matters to you and how long you plan to keep the grill.
