Good grill, wish some parts were a little thicker.

Everything you expect from a Weber. Good ergonomics, well designed, easy to assemble, overall a great grill. Only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is that I was hoping for a little higher quality materials at this price point. The stainless steel was a little thinner than I was expecting. The grill grates could be a little thicker, the burner tubes, knobs, etc. good grill, just hoping for slightly higher level of materials.
but so far, the grill cooks even and well... and that's the most important part.
Decided to invest in a grill based on user feedback on how long this grill could last. We've had it for a about a month and I can tell you without a doubt it's the best grill we've owned. This grill cast iron lid and body are a huge difference maker. Cooks very evenly from back to front and left to right. Use both the instructions and the App for assembly, it's so much easier using the 3D model.
We have purchased four 5 or 6 burner grills in the last 5 years, within the first month of constant use one can tell how it cooks and if it will last for a while. We use ours every week, and sometimes twice a week. I can tell by the construction, this one is going to last.
I keep my grills under cover to keep them out of the element, plan on doing the same for this one.
Our family has owned Weber grills for at least the last forty years. I've watched our friends purchase grills based on price, and end up buying several competitive units while we still had the same Weber. Assembly out of the box took some time, but instructions were good. I love the storage, fold out top rack, sear burner, and bottom tray design for easy cleaning. Have not used the stir fry feature yet. I've used Weber's warranty support on a previous grill- They were more than fair.
I have owned several barbecues over the years. This is by far the best BBQ I have owned. The old proverb is still true, “you get what you pay for”! I really like the sear burner. Much hotter than sear stations I have had on other BBQ’s.
