This was a replacement for a poorly constructed Summit Grill that lasted less than 5 years. I can immediately see the upgrades in materials in new Genesis grill
Great grill. Easy to clean. Non stick & multi size grates. Heats up well. Great size when you entertain, you can cook everything at once & eat while food is all hot & enjoy the party & food..
This is the second Genesis Grill I or my family has owned and the improvements made in the current model are significant. It's great that all of the casters now rotate and that the side grill has now been moved close to the lighting button. I also appreciate being able to easily remove the warming rack when it is not needed. The extra storage cabinet (mounted to the side of the main cabinet) makes good use of that previously wasted space. I haven't tried the work grill yet but I am looking forward to trying it out. My only suggestion would be to have a hose caddy for the gas line hose.
Had it for 3 week used it 10 times. It's Great! Took 2 times to get accustomed to it, last one was a 3 burner. My son and I assembled it and it was simple to do. I can say, from touching the parts, we should get many, many years of cooking experience on this Genesis! The parts are of quality! Our last Genesis was purchased in 1994 and still cooked on it until The day we purchased the new Genesis E-435! For sentiment, we kept the lid from the 94! I would not purchase anyother grill other an a WEBER! Made in the USA!!
I’ve owned Weber charcoal grills and bullet smokers for most of my adult life. This is my first venture into a propane. Absolutely LOVE the four burners + sear zone; expertly engineered! Assembly took me about 4 hours on my own but that’s because I was interrupted several times and may have taken a beer break or two just because it was a super lazy Saturday; probably could have done it in 2 or even less had my type-a alter ego kicked in. My first cook on it were some chicken legs and thighs and skewered veggies. The control you get across the grilling real estate is amazing; I truly wouldn’t go with less than 4 burners if you want to micro-manage your zones 🤣. No regrets whatsoever on this purchase.
Very little flare up. Grease collection cup really works. Stainless steel get water stains very easily. Very hard to remove. Large handle gets hot. So far so good.
