If you want even heat distribution, ease of maintenance and longevity, this is your grill. This is my second Weber. The first one lasted 30 years requiring very few replacement parts. My new E-435 is designed even better. The use of quality materials make this grill a worth the investment. Don’t be fooled by cheaper low quality grills. “You get what you pay for” I would definitely recommend this to a friend.
After years of working with an aging grill, this new Genesis has been a revelation. It is a breeze to ignite, the grill heats up rapidly, and controlling the temperature is straightforward. My first few grilling efforts have all been a success.
The Webber grill is nice and big, however, the design of the lid is not made very well. The grill does not get hot fast and on windy days, the flame blows out continuously because of the gap on the back of the lid. Which makes cooking times longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, Thank you for being a loyal Weber fan! We are sorry to hear about your disappointment with the heating. On cold days it may take a bit longer to preheat but it should be able to reach desired temperatures. However, we will certainly pass this information along to our developing team! We hope you get many great meals off of it and if you have concerns or questions please feel free to contact us at support@weberstephen.com. Thanks!
The grill is absolutely beautiful! I was able to put it together with relative ease even though there were a few bent pieces. Only real complaint is that the plastic battery holder appeared to be melted and I am unable to use the electric igniter. Tried returning to the store and they said I needed to speak with the manufacturer. Sent a few emails to Weber but haven’t heard anything since.
I would recommend this to a friend!
