Fantastic Grill

I have had this grill for over 10 years. I love the smoke box within the grill, I use it often when cooking ribs. Heats evenly on the surface. The side burner is a nice feature. However, I think you should be able to control the temperature better on that burner. We use the grill year round, I shovel a path in the snow to get to the grill.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Had mine two years now and could not be happier!

In short this is far and away the best gas grill I have ever owned. I worried a bit over the cost of it but once I started cooking I never had a second of buyer's remorse. It is very even and constant. The rotisserie is such a nice addition, I use it at least once or twice a month. The smoke box is great too.

WARNING! Razor Sharp Edges under Control Panel

Just replaced a 10+ year old Summit S-470 with a new one and am getting used to the newer control knobs and higher heat capacity. I still prefer Weber over other grills. The grates and heat distribution as well as quality manufacturing is higher than others in its class.
BE VERY CAREFUL!!! The 16GA (.0598) metal is very sharp! The area just underneath the control knobs, the control panel, is a safety hazard. After the first use, cleaning the control knobs with a paper towel, fingers were cut. (Think deep paper cut). If children come near and run their hands under the knobs, you could have a serious liability issue.
Metal measuring gauge was procured. Molding was carefully researched. Ended up purchasing on Amazon the "Trim-Lok Edge Trim – Flexible, PVC Plastic Edge Protector for Sharp and Rough Surfaces – Easy Install, Push-On Edge Guard for Cars, Boats, Machinery, and More – Fits 1/16” Edge, 7/16” Leg Length, Single Gripping Finger, 25’ Length". Get the one with gripping finger to ensure that it stays on. This molding is metal reinforced.
While you will not need all 25' of molding, the purchase is well worth not severing my fingers or the risk to others.

reviewing a S-420 after many years, super unit...

I purchased the S-420 sometime between 2008 /2010 and have used it continuously since.
It has performed without a hitch, grille looks brand new, of course I clean it after each use and every other time wipe it down (on the outside) with WD-40 ... the only problem after all these years is the starter for the side burner, which is no real problem ... why would I send in a review after all these years, well, it's because I read the reviews tonight for the Weber S-470 and wanted to let Weber and it's customers know that my grille is still doing it's job and looks almost new. I was going to get another grille but I think I'll keep this one, it's been faithful and keeps our family happy. V/R submitted

Not a lifetime grill

Worked well for approximately 10 years. Now firebox is rusting and the rusted metal is flaking will soon me every unusable based upon fire hazard. For this price, it is a shame the stainless steel is not of higher quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great grill. This is my second Summit. We built a second home and didn’t think twice about what grill to get.

This replaced a storm damaged S-470 that was purchased in 2011. Like the increased stainless steel in the grates and flavorizer bars. Easy assembly. Same great grill

So far, love the grill. Everything works well, easy to use, didn't take long to put together and start using. Dear was a new feature that worked well in our inaugural grilling. The integrated smoker box was well received and heats up quickly to add smoke flavor without a lot of hassle. There are 3 things I would fix. First, the handle covers are easily moved and/or displaced making the handles not turn or off aesthetically. Second, the power cord for the rotisserie is just too short. Even if I was closer to my outlet in the old spot for my grill, it would still be too short. Finally, adding information to the page depicting the size of gas fittings and hose would help avoid extra costs when purchasing.
