This is my second Weber grill. The first one was a gift from my daughter in 2016. We moved into an apartment complex so I gave it away to my son-in-law. That grill is still going strong. I cooked on it a month ago and it functions and looks just as it did when I got it new. So when we moved into our new home, I had to get another Weber grill.
Got my first Genesis in 1997 and retired it in 2022. Bought the 435 in May 2023 and found straight forward assembly, well made parts and flawless grilling.
Upgraded from Weber E310. Cooks a whole lot faster. Purchased both size griddles. I just made smash burgers. This is the best grill that I've ever owned. I love it.
I am very happy so far. I haven’t used very much yet. The one issue I have with the grill is the difficulty loading the propane tank. The other thing that was a little irritating as I was setting it up was having to get down on the deck to read the tag on the gas line. I couldn’t read it easily in that position so I ripped it off so I could see it. The first thing I read when I got it out was “Do not remove this tag”. Oh, well.
Finally broke down a purchased a new Weber Grill. I had a Genis Gold that was 18 years plus and i cannot talk about that grill enough. We decided to purchase a new Weber and the 435 was a great choice. No lie it took a few times to get used to even heat, and fantastic indirect eat but that grill has surpassed all expectations. Steaks, ribs and vegetables come out perfect every time. There is always even heat and we have used aa cast iron skillet on it and it is fantastic. Our next purchase is for the flat top insert and i am waiting for that. If your going to get a new grill i strongly suggest you look at the 435
Sear station and Crafted System is fabulous. I only wish Weber offered 9mm stainless grates for this midel. Grill was easy to assemble and functioned properly out of the box.
Nicely built, heats up quickly and holds heat well…and it looks awesome! Lots of accessories available. I purchased the Weber crafted flat top to use with the includes frame kit which makes for a versatile grilling experience. I am very happy with my purchase
