Exceptionally nice grill, but somewhat tedious to assemble. You will have a substantial amount of packing material/cardboard to dispose of once you have completed the assembly. The regulator provided was inadequate with all burners and the side burner on high. I changed to a higher volume regulator, and all is well. My 21-year-old Genesis Gold is capable of higher temperatures. My Genesis Gold also has a feature I wish the S-435 had, the Crossover tube. With the Genesis Gold, you lit one burner and could then light the others as needed without using the ignitor. You have to use the ignitor to light each burner with the S-435. Overall, the S-435 is a well-built grill that should last upwards of 20 years, but it isn't as well-made as my trusty old, heavily used Genesis Gold. I predict that the first item to fail on the S-435 will be one of the burner knobs, they are surprisingly flimsy.
I am loving this grill so far. It is very evidently made of high quality materials whose functions were thoughtfully designed. It is very easy to keep clean so you can focus on grilling awesome food.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely everything I could’ve hoped for. My old Weber was 12 years old and I decided to go bigger this time lol absolutely amazing. I bought the griddle and got rid of my stand alone griddle . This is far superior and cooking is actually something I can’t get enough of now.
