This grill has pretty much everything. It has ample space on both side for platters, it has separate burners that can easily be used for indirect grilling, and it has a little storage compartment that is very handy.
It also has built in wi-fi and bluetooth for syncing with the app on your phone (replacing the iGrill thermometer station).
The only improvement I would make is to have a built in hood thermometer (in addition to the electronic thermometer). The reason for this, is you NEED to plug in the grill to an outlet to get any temperature.
It works as advertised and then some. Solid build and if parts break over time they can be replaced without the need to throw away like most products purchased in today’s world. Had a Weber silver b for nearly 20 years if that tells you anything.
Electronics don’t work. Support send two cables to install. Didn’t fix the issue. I want to return.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great product however they should always add the built in thermometer on the cover even in models with electronic screens that show the temperature. Sometimes it’s not possible to plug it to the outlet and/or in the event the battery is dead
This grill was purchased to replace a previous Genesis grill which worked fine and was given to our daughter. The main reason for this purchase was the addition of the sear burner. The grill works very well and the sear burner makes the steaks rival any good steak house. Heat control is very good with the exception of the side burner which is too hot. This is dealt with with a flame tamer. The grill went together without a problem. The only issue was with the stainless steel side shelves. During production, the surfaces were scratched along the cut lines for the protective plastic. This mars an otherwise beautiful surface. Would I buy this grill again? Absolutely.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback. It means a lot to us that you have been a long-time Weber fan, and that you are enjoying your new Genesis grill.
We apologize for the disappointing marks on your side tables. It is possible that some residue from the laser-cutting process is to blame for the "scratch" marks/. The residue can be cleared with adhesive remover or 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
Your grill is covered under Weber's manufacturer's warranty. Please look for an email outreach from our Care team soon. Your satisfaction is very important to us. Thank you!
