Brand RPS425RSIBPSS-2 Grill Review
Our verdict
The RPS425RSIBPSS-2 is a three-burner stainless steel propane grill at $1,421 with a 145-pound frame and 420 square inches of cooking area. The 4.2-star average from only 13 reviews gives very little to go on, and the price is steep for the cook space relative to four-burner competitors at similar or lower prices.

13 owner reviews, fewer 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 RPS425RSIBPSS-2 sits in the premium category with a stainless steel build, three burners, and 420 square inches of primary cooking area. At 55 inches wide it is more compact than the brand's 60.5-inch four-burner models, which could make it a better fit for smaller outdoor kitchen alcoves or patio setups where space is limited.
The 145-pound stainless frame is built for a fixed installation. You are not moving this grill around. The three-burner layout gives you enough zone separation for a two-temperature cook: sear on one side, hold on the other. For a household cooking regularly for four to six people, 420 square inches is workable but not generous.
At $1,421 the value question is harder to answer than at lower price points. The four-burner RP525SIBPK-2 in the same product family offers more cooking area at a similar footprint for $360 less. If the three-burner format fits a specific build-out plan and you want the narrower cart width, that is the clearest reason to choose this model over the others.

Performance notes
Fuel is propane. Three burners cover 420 square inches of primary cooking surface. BTU output is not listed in the specs. Stainless steel construction. Dimensions are 25 x 55 x 48.5 inches and weight is 145 pounds. Freestanding install type. The compact 55-inch width is the main differentiator from the brand's 60.5-inch four-burner models.
What buyers say
With only 13 reviews averaging 4.2 stars, there is almost no buyer data to draw from at this price. Early purchasers are cautiously positive, but 13 reviews at $1,421 means individual outliers can shift the score significantly. Wait for a larger review base before drawing conclusions.

Frequently asked questions
How does the RPS425RSIBPSS-2 compare to the four-burner models in the same line?
The RPS425RSIBPSS-2 has three burners and 420 square inches of cooking area in a 55-inch-wide cart at $1,421. The four-burner RP525SIBPK-2 offers 518 square inches in a 60.5-inch-wide cart at $1,061. If you need the narrower footprint, the three-burner model makes sense. Otherwise, the four-burner version gives more cook space at a lower price.
Is 420 square inches enough for regular family grilling?
For a family of four to six, 420 square inches is workable. You can fit about 18 to 20 standard burgers or a mix of chicken pieces and vegetables in a single round. If you often cook for larger groups or want extra margin, a grill in the 500-plus square inch range gives more room to work.
Does this grill come with a cover?
Cover inclusion is not listed in the spec data. At $1,421 for a stainless steel outdoor grill, a fitted cover is recommended to protect the finish and interior components from rain and debris. Check the current product listing for what is included and look for a compatible cover if one is not provided.
