Right door does not fit quite correctly. Will not latch with lower magnet. Short of this, grill is quite nice. Have owned and been grilling on Weber grills for past 30 years, from 18 inch kettle through 6 burner Summit. Would not own anything else!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding your grill well-constructed! We put all of our years of experience into designing a grill that feels solid and produces solid results.
We understand that cleaning is nobody's favorite part of grilling, and we want to make it as painless as possible. We recommend preheating your grill grates for 10-15 minutes on HIGH heat (450-500F) before brushing them with a Weber Stainless-Steel Grill Brush.
Then, add oiled food to the hot grates! We recommend oiling your food and not your grates for the best results. Check our our blog article and video for more information: https://www.weber.com/US/en/blog/tips-techniques/cleaning-your-stainless-steel-grates/weber-31156.html

High quality grill definitely worth the money best gas grill I've owned very easy to control the heat the sear grate the grill basket and the flat iron griddle I'll do a wonderful job little hesitant when I was first buying the grill but now that I've used it for a few months I've done everything from grilled steaks to smoke salmon and even pancakes if you know what you're doing you can do it with this grill
Good overall grill with plenty of cooking spaces. Cooking grates a bit wide compared to older versions so some small food pieces can fall through. Charring section takes a bit longer to char than would prefer. Used x3 thus far.

We appreciate your feedback! Our goal is to provide our grillers with all of the tools and features they need to achieve enviable results.
In our experience, it takes some time to transition from one beloved grill to another. We are sorry to hear that you lost some smaller morsels while grilling! It may be helpful to use one of our Weber CRAFTED accessories to cook smaller items with confidence.
We are surprised to hear that your sear zone is taking longer than expected! Here is how we recommend using the sear zone to achieve restaurant-quality results:
1. Turn on the grill’s main burners and set them for high heat. 2. Turn the sear zone knob to the ON position. 3. Preheat your grill for 15 minutes. 4. After preheating, leave the sear burner control knob and the burner knobs to either side on high. The remaining burner(s) can be turned to off or low. *NOTE: The amount of time you use the sear zone depends on the type of meat, its thickness, and your cooking method (approximately 60-90 seconds for quality sear marks). *
5. Once searing is complete, the meat can be moved over to moderate heat and cooked to your desired doneness.

This is everything I thought it would be. It took me a long time to put it together, but I am old and not to strong and was not rushed. It is well constructed, heavy. It lights fast and heats up to a temperature of about 650 degrees when preheated and is much hotter than my previous grill. I am very satisfied with this grill..
Easy to assemble and nice looking. However the grill doesn't get as hot as I'm used to with other grills.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
