The Q3200 is my 4th Weber grill. I bought this one for its size, design and build quality. I needed a grill that will last and one that is easy to maintain. I gave my 9 yr old Spirit E-310 to my son since his grill was no longer working. Weber grills are easy to get parts for and can be refurbished for years. The Q-3200 is simple to use and clean. Most people who own a Q-3200 have owned one before because they love them.
This grill is everything we had hoped for! We previously owned a Weber Genesis II grill which was a great grill, but since we live near the ocean the salt water disintegrated the metal grill base so badly we had to replace it. Although the Q3200 is a bit smaller than the Genesis (2 burners instead of 3), it heats up perfectly (and quickly) and still has a lot of cook space! Another plus for us, is that the grill stand is plastic so it should hold up better in the salty air.
The grill grates rust! I have had this for two weeks and the porcelain enamel is chipping off and the grates are rusting. It’s not from cleaning, I use only a nylon bristle brush on it. I’ll be contacting Weber for a warranty claim. Otherwise, I like the grill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love my Q grill! The left side table falls to the ground. Seems the frame somehow opens, possible from heat?, Then, the tables 4 tabs (where the sliding occurs) fall through.
