Highlights
The video introduces the Brabura Fusion 400 and 500 models, available in black and stainless steel. It highlights their full stainless steel construction, emphasizing that this feature is unique to the newest generation of these grills, making them a standout in 2026.
A crucial point is made about the full stainless steel construction of the new models, clarifying that older versions may not share this quality despite similar appearances. This distinction affects both price and durability, with the video focusing exclusively on the latest, all-stainless steel generation.
The Brabura Fusion is designed for versatility, compatible with both standalone bases and integrated outdoor kitchens. It comes as a four or five-burner model and offers customization with add-ons like a plancha, ceramic grill, or pizza oven. The base units are also available with refrigerators, sinks, and other amenities.
The grill features four heavy-duty castors (two lockable), a spacious under-cabinet fitting an 11 kg gas bottle, and a paper towel holder. The under-cabinet is fully enclosed for a neat appearance and protection from wind. The side panels are functional but basic, without extra burners or frills, designed to be foldable and stainless steel, reinforcing the grill's adaptability for built-in or freestanding use.
A well-integrated, deep grease drawer effectively collects drippings, suitable for aluminum trays or direct cleaning. The control knobs are made from solid, milled stainless steel, providing a weighty, high-quality feel. They are also illuminated, not just with a small dot but all-around, enhancing usability and aesthetic appeal.
The grill's lid features a robust, stainless steel handle that allows for smooth, even lifting across its entire width. Despite its substantial feel, the double-walled lid is praised for being lighter than expected while offering double the material thickness of comparable models, indicating superior heat retention and durability.
The interior is entirely stainless steel. The lid houses an internal light, activated by a high-quality, illuminated button that provides tactile feedback. Below the light is a stainless steel warming rack, which can be folded up to clear the main grilling surface or entirely removed when using the rear burner.
The grill includes a ceramic rear burner, extending almost the entire width of the cooking area. This design mimics the efficiency of a bar burner, offering high temperatures (600-800°C). The main grates are solid stainless steel cast iron, 1 cm in diameter, and polished for non-stick properties, combining durability with superior cooking performance.
Thick flame protection plates cover all burners, protecting them from direct drippings. Perforated sections allow maximum heat to rise to the grates, while the solid parts provide radiant heat, showcasing a robust and well-engineered design. The burners themselves are heavy-duty, cast stainless steel.
The grill includes reflector plates between each burner for even heat distribution. An innovative ignition system features a lighting rod mechanism to manually light burners if the electric igniter fails, with a distributor ensuring adjacent burners ignite when one is turned on, preventing gas buildup. Below the burners, fully closed and sloped drip trays efficiently direct fat while maximizing radiant heat upwards.
The grill is applauded for its high performance, robust material thickness, massive grates, effective flame protection plates, quality burners, and all-stainless steel interior components that ensure superior heat distribution.
The grill's main drawbacks are the absence of a dedicated Sizzle Zone (side burner) and advanced technological features like digital displays, integrated core temperature probes, or app connectivity, which are found in competitor models at higher price points.
A recommended workaround for the Sizzle Zone is to replace one of the five burners in the Fusion 500 with a ceramic burner, creating a dedicated high-heat searing area. This modification is less ideal for the four-burner model. The video then showcases the four-burner version in stainless steel, highlighting that both models share the same high-quality construction and features, differing primarily in size and color options.
The reviewer concludes that the Brabura Fusion is an excellent choice for anyone willing to spend around €3000 on a gas grill. It offers comparable features to more expensive competitors but at a significantly lower price, making it a strong contender and potentially a market leader. The video ends with an invitation to watch a detailed comparison with the Bull Angus grill.
