Well the first one I purchased was delivered with a badly damaged outer shell. Second one was perfect except for the 7 flavor bars were missing. Good news is that after calling Weber to report the flavor bars were missing, they sent me new ones within a couple of days. Overall, except for the above problems, fairly easy to assemble, and works great. Just would like to know best way to clean the SS parts without blotching/smearing. If I were to do it over again, would probably buy the BBQ with the enameled CI shell as it would be easier to clean.
The product was delivered damaged. I didn’t receive replacement parts for over 1 month. I now have to disassemble the broken grill and reassemble the fixed grill.

On my last webber grill it had two lift up shelfs, left and right front of grill. This is sadly missed on my new Genesis II. The burner lighting system is very good and the sear burner works great.
First time Weber gas grill owner, owed Weber charcoal grill in the past. Performance is unbelievable! I've never had a gas grill that can hold a temperature so steady. As good as the performance is, customer service is even better. When my grill came in, the lid was cracked. I fully expected to have to battle for a replacement and most likely pay for it; not the case, Weber sent me a new top, no questions asked! LOVE my Weber!
Lot of money, the lid doesn’t close or open properly. Sometimes the lid catches and you need two hands to pull hard to open. Probably an issue with the casting process.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
