The scale measuring remaining propane does not work. The “new” brackets inside the where there used to to a shelf totally eliminate the ability to store things in the bottom compartment.
This is my second Weber Genesis, and I couldn’t be more impressed. My first one lasted a solid 15 years and even survived a flood before it finally started rusting away. That durability is what brought me back to Weber, and the Genesis S-435 Gas Grill (Liquid Propane) has been nothing short of amazing.
The four burners provide powerful, even heat, and the large cooking surface lets me grill multiple items without any hassle. One feature I’ve really come to love is the dedicated searing station. It cranks up the heat for those perfect sear marks, making steaks and chops even more mouth-watering. Plus, I added a griddle top, which has become a game changer. From searing to making breakfast or stir-frying, the griddle adds incredible versatility to the grilling experience.
The stainless steel design is sleek and easy to maintain, and the side burner is perfect for heating up sauces or side dishes. I’ve put this grill through its paces, and it has consistently delivered exceptional results.
If you’re looking for a grill that combines durability, power, and versatility—including a great searing station—the Genesis S-435 is the way to go. After 15 years with my first Weber, I’m confident this one will be with me for the long haul as well!
Extremely difficult and time consuming to assemble. Decent quality of materials but the knobs feel cheap.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I recently purchased the Weber Genesis S-435 to replace my 18 year old Weber Genesis grill! Great company. Great products. My friend and I assembled the new grill fairly easily. I have cooked on it 3 times so far. Cooks evenly, easy to use. I'm very happy with my purchase.
I've owned many Weber grills, but this is the first with four burners. The searing burner actually makes it 5 and is great for searing steaks. The extra size really comes in handy when grilling different foods that require different temperatures. The assembly process is straightforward and didn't take but a couple hours. The one gripe I have is that every time I've gotten a new Weber grill, the knobs get thinner and lighter and this one is no different. I'd like the tactile feel of a heavier knob but it's certainly not a deal breaker. I love cooking on this grill!
Grill works great, food cooks evenly. I purchased the griddle for it. It goes on easy. I love the front access to the drip pan. I wish I would have purchased a Weber grill a long time ago.
We love our new Weber grill. It's a little bigger than the Weber it replaced, and it has a searing burner. We also bought the flat grill accessory, and it's wonderful for making breakfast!
