Well built and operates as expected. Great ability to sear and maintain the juiciness of all types of meats. Spend more to get more, that is the experience I have had over the years with Weber products.
Grill takes too long to preheat, waisting propane in the process. The burners and the tents are too low beneath the cooking grates and the smoke grates are below the flame, so this does not add that smoky flavor (they are again too low beneath the cooking grate surface). The burners are too far apart and the 4 burners should have really been a five separate burners for the size of the cooking surface. The heat loss when cooking with the lid open makes quality BBQ cooking almost impossible. Generally poor quality overall, the fit and finish is cheap, and without a way to raise the flames and bump up the flavor factor, I am very disappointed in this grill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for taking your time to provide feedback on your Genesis II E-435. We are very sorry that you are disappointed in the quality of the grill. These suggestions will be forwarded to the appropriate people. It is usually recommended to keep the lid closed during cooking, so there is no loss of heat for quality BBQ results. If there are any problems with achieving optimal temperature or maintaining heat, we would be able to help with troubleshooting steps to help alleviate the issue. There is also a very generous 10 year warranty on this particular grill in case there is a need for replacement parts. Please contact us in case you have any further questions.
Purchased this to replace my 20+ year old Weber Summit. Burner design of the Genesis looks to be improved. Sear station works well. Can't go wrong with Weber's quality/warranty.
A hole has formed in the heat box. Does not look safe to use
