Customer Reviews for Weber - Genesis E-435 Natural Gas Grill - Black

It’s a very easy grill to operate! Installation was easy also! Cooks food with no issues. This is the second Weber grill we’ve owned and I wouldn’t buy any other brand.

My first Weber Genesis lasted for 15 years, so this was my second purchase. Love everything about it!

When purchasing this grill I was trying to find one that could fit my 19" Wok on the side burner. This grill was the closest I could find. The wok barely fit.
This Weber provides a space in the grate for the wok. The flame is more protected and the 3 burners get hotter than the single side burner. I may have to cut a shield to redirect heat from from the front/outside of the wok
I also have the pizza stone and searing grate. They all work as intended and store away in the side of the cabinet.
While it was more than I wanted to spend, but it works well.
I was tempted to buy the version with the heat probes and phone app, but it was not available in the liquid propane model.

Overall the regular grilling is up to Weber standards. But very disappointed with the flattop. While the cabinet is a great addition the quality of the flattop is poor. It rusts so fast and badly I never use it.

Thank you for your feedback. We are excited to hear you are enjoying your new grill! We understand your frustration with experiencing corrosion on the griddle surface. We want to help improve your experience!
The flattop/griddle should be seasoned before use, and protected with a layer of oil between uses to avoid corrosion.
Please look for our email outreach soon so we can assist you! Thanks!

I upgraded our grill and are we glad we did. We have own weber grills for 30 years and will never change. The accessories available are amazing.

Purchased an E-435 after 20 years with another Weber model. Build quality is excellent. The sear function is great, the temperature controls do just that (for maintaining even, lower temps for ribs, etc.) Didn’t wan’t anything “smart” as chips degrade and then are costly to replace.

Decent grill, but poor instructions for assembly

I've had Weber Genesis natural gas grills in the past and loved them. For this new home, purchased a propane gas Genesis grill to assembly on my own since the store wanted 1-2 weeks to assemble it. The instructions for assembly are pictures only, and very difficult to follow in certain places. It also took several hours to assemble. Overall, the grill works great and looks great. Would have preferred an infrared burner on the side rather than the propane flame, but it still works great.

Incredible in every way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had pretty high expectations for this grill…I have a co worker who sings the praises of this Weber Genesis, an older model he has had for years and continually gushes about. He is an avid grillsman, so we knew the Genesis S-435 would probably suit our needs as well, but even so, we were blown away at how well this grill performs, all the details that make outdoor cooking simpler, and how this thing is built to last, and last, and last.
It arrived in perfect condition, in a quite heavy box, filled with smaller, well marked boxes that once removed, made moving the large box doable between my husband and I. Using the included booklet, but mostly the BILT app, it took my husband a bit over 2 hours to construct. The app is great, using motion and the ability to rotate to see every quarter, it makes all instructions clear. Had I, or anyone given him more of a hand, it would’ve gone much faster, but he was pretty excited and didn’t want to wait on help.
The Weber Genesis is built with heavy duty components, and I have no doubt about how long it will hold up. The grates and the flame covers are thick and dense, and won’t rust away for a very long time…a problem that lesser grills certainly struggle with, even with regular maintenance and constant cover from the weather.
The temperature gauge is large and accurate, and the grill maintains steady, constant heat, and doesn’t lose an undo amount when opening to check your food.
I love that it has a gauge on the outside the measures how much propane you have, so you are never caught flatfooted mid-cook, which is an absolute disaster, especially when entertaining guests. It uses weight to determine how much LP you have, so it isn’t an exact measure, but it’s close enough to alert you when you should fill up.
There are hooks aplenty, so finding a place to hang tools, accessories or rags won’t be an issue. The cabinet beneath is large enough for your propane tank, the burn off and grease collection system, and room to spare for other accessories. Too, there is a side compartment that is quite tall and deep (I’ve included a photo with a soda can for scale), which is great for anything, but in particular the Weber Veggie Basket and Pizza Stone, which I’ll review soon. There is also a small basket for smaller items attached to the door, which I use to hold a flashlight for cooking at twilight.
The wheels spin smoothly, and can be locked in place. The grill is well balanced and level.
Lastly and most important, how does it cook? Excellently. I get a more consistent cook using the Weber than I’ve had with any other grill. On those lesser models, I’ve had to rotate my meats across the grates to circumvent hot and cool spots, but using the Genesis means I don’t have to babysit our dinner. Using the temperature gauge, and the consistency of the Genesis’ heat, I have been rewarded with perfectly cooked meals (perfectly cooked by the grill, not accounting for user error, to which my husband and I are prone).
Too, using the Sear Zone, I can lock in the flavor before moving our foods it to a a more moderate side of the grilling surface. The side burner works excellently, and the grill itself doesn’t have to be on to use it, which is a plus since this isn’t always the case.
Lighting the grill has been flawless…you do have to use the “ignite” button on each knob you want to turn on, which is a feature I like but was unfamiliar with.
As you can see, we are incredibly happy with the Weber S-435, and I’m already shopping for more accessories on their website. Next up for me is the smart cooking device, which I’m excited to get my hands on. We are completely satisfied, and recommend without reservation!
