Not a negative but HEAVY. Weak point is the bottom pin (hinge) of the two main doors. They are plastic and the wind caught one door and snapped the.pin. To Webers credit they sent me replacement.
We love our Weber S-435 grill! It's the highest quality grill on the market. We use it almost every evening and every weekend. I highly recommend weber grills to anyone that takes pride in grilling perfectly cooked meals. I can't say enough good in this high quality and easy to use product!

Cheaply made.

I received this grill yesterday and am disappointed in the quality. My father has an older Genesis which is much sturdier than this. The lid on the new Genesis is much lighter giving it a slightly flimsy feeling. There are spots on the grill where during assembly the screws didn't line up well and it was like putting together a cheap table. The plastic knobs feel chinsy. One of the screw holes for the side burner is to big and it's not even a threaded hole, just a punch out in the steel for the screw to thread. The rivets on the extra storage door were loose leaving the hinge wobbly. There also are brackets missing for the propane.
All in all I wouldn't buy this again. All the things I mentioned are being covered under warranty but the feel of being cheaply made can't be covered. I'm going to attempt talking my father into letting me take his and send this piece of cheap garbage back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love my Weber GENESIS S-435 Gas Grill! You can grill, bake and even stir fry. The side burner is a handy feature that I love. I’m also amazed that you could also use the grill as a rotisserie with the added height of the lid. I really like the extra large side table. I actually have more prep space outside on the grill than inside the house. I love the added storage space on the side and underneath the grill. I’m blown away by the sear zone. I could never sear my meat quite right before. Now I get flavorful restaurant quality seared meat every time. I have so much cooking space on this grill with the expandable top cooking grate and side burner. Very easy to assemble. I highly recommend downloading the BILT app on your phone. The BILT app really helps with assembly instructions. Very high quality brand that makes high quality products. You can purchase additional Weber accessories to really make this grill even more versatile. Definitely worth the money. I’m highly impressed with this grill and the endless cooking possibilities.
Best grill. Heats evenly and cooks perfectly. The stainless steel grills clean easily. I love the cast iron pot option to cook veggies at the same time. The searing station is also very handy
I had a Vermont Castings bbq for years and it worked very well. It finally died this Spring, and I bought this Weber. So far it’s been great. It cooks evenly and quickly.
