Love it. Gets really hot for a good sear but temp is easily controlled. Just purchased a rotisserie for it and am anxious to try it. Really like the new positioning of the propane tank. I have had several Weber grills - both charcoal and gas - but I like this one best.
I purchased a month back and we had 28 family members here for Thanksgiving. 1 Turkey was cooked in oven by my wife and the second 20 pounder was cooked on the Weber. The results were incredible! Many compliments on the taste and presentation. Can’t wait to use it through the winter.
Simply put my genesis 435ss is a beast! Almost bought the 335ss, glad I went bigger. With the extra space it makes it amazing to cook indirect. Everything I've thrown @ it, steaks, burgers, chicken breast, veggies it has concord! I love the way Weber designs there firebox. Never rust and easy to clean! I'd buy over and over again. Hopefully not for a very long time though
Ive had mine just under a year. The best thing about it? It gets HOT and always cooks EVEN. No flame ups what so ever. Stainless makes it very easy to clean. Im weber for life from here on out.
Great grill, heats up fast. Love the sear station. The LP tank on the outside with the gauge is a Weber standard that I think is great - easy to get to and know when getting near empty on LP. Bought some Weber grill spray - absolutely the best I have ever used..
I had my Summit series for more than 21 yrs and wanted a similar product only with new enhancements that Weber has come up with. This new Genesis II is really built well and does what is suppose to with minimal hassle. One thing I was disappointed with is the difficulty installing the i Grille Hdwre and getting up to speed with it. I believe a grill that costs $1k or more should come with this installed. Also there should be a tutorial or class if you have a grill academy in that city designed to help the owner take advantage of the product. The i Grille also isn't easy to use immediately when it comes to various types of meats and the use of the probes.
My previous Weber gas grill last me 20 years, I did have to replace the burners and flavor bars which is normal for that length of time. I just retired from the Air Force and wanted to give myself a gift. Which was going to be a new grill. The old Weber was still going strong and I gave it to me Daughter. I did shop around and read allot of reviews of other grills. I always came back to the Weber. After much thought I finally decided on the S-435. I am truly glad that I did. It is built well and has allot of room for my grilling needs. I really have no complaints and I am really happy with the purchase. It might be a little more than other brands but it is truly "you get what you pay for" and this weber is truly worth the extra cost. My only thing I would pass on is to purchase a grill cover. I believe it helped to make my previous Weber last as long as it did. I am sure it will help make this one last long as well. Maybe long enough to pass the new Weber onto the Grandkids. :).
