I am very happy with the SPIRIT EX-325s LP grill. I purchased it because it had all of the features of the larger Genesis models, in a smaller size. I didn't have room for the larger model.
I replaced a Weber grill I purchased around 1990.
I like the searing burner and being able to track the temperatures of the grill on my phone. All work great!
Grill gets hot. App tells you when the grill gets hot. Haven’t had the opportunity to use the meat thermometer yet, but the quality of the app is very high. No noticeable hot or col spots. Pleased.
I bought this about a month ago and so far so good! I really like the digital display and WIFI connectivity that tells you the grilling temp on the BBQ. Heats up in no time. Big fan of the tank icon that tells you your fuel level. There is nothing worse than starting your BBQ only to find that your propane tank is empty. My only complaint is the warming rack seems to low and I find it hard to flip a burger without having to wrestle with it but other than that I am really enjoying my Weber.
The grill seems to be working fine. The assembly instructions were semi vague and I ended up messing up 2 of the steps and had to go back and undo and redo them. Otherwise, assembly took me about 2 hours. I was excited about the smart features, especially the meat probe that would allow me to monitor the food temp. Well the thermometer appeared to be really inaccurate the last time I used it and basically I burned 4 NY Strip steaks. I will probably just stick to eyeballing the meat like I used to and forget about the meat probe bc steaks are expensive. It is a good grill overall. If only I can figure out how to calibrate the thermometer so it reads correctly…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Horrible design and quality is lacking

This is not my first Weber. I have owned this Spirit smart grill for 2 yrs. and am getting rid of it. The cabinet is such a horrible design. The tank hole in the cabinet is too big, so the tank sits on the ground, so, you cannot move the grill! Have to hang it and I am not strong enough to hang it up on the hooks. You have to get down on hands and knees to lift it up. Good luck! I’m a woman. Doesn’t work. With the multiple vents and huge openings on every side of the cabinet, I have had mice several times. Again, a horrible design. I keep it super clean, and always covered. Still, they get in! I am getting rid of it. My children purchased for me when I moved to my current home. I left my other Weber behind. It was old but great. Wish I had it back! Flavor bars and grates are already shot, and needing replaced after barely two years. Also, that handle when grilling can be scalding hot! Very disappointed overall in this one.
It is hard to connect it to wi-fi the search button spinning and spinning for 20 min, then i gave up. The weber app needs improvement. At very first you have to decide how well cooked you prefer, if you change your mind you cannot go back to adjust your settings

The electronic start never worked. The temperature would never heat over 275° because it was electronically controlled by the app. Difficult to assemble the positive part was the refund was quick.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
