The Genesis S-435 is a large grill that give you lots of room to move from the grill marks area to the cooking area. I did add the cast iron insert for the searing area and it really works well. This grill heats to over 500 degrees in five minutes and to over 600 degrees soon after, so no waiting to get the heat you want. I would purchase this grill again.
everything is working fine and i like my new qrill but the ligher for the side burner is not working. I works when I light it with a match .... not sure why its not working (has not worked from first day). I would have given 5 stars if the side burner had worked properly
Bought this grill with the hope that it would be able to stand coastal living in Florida. Grill began showing rust within the first year of my owning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Your feedback means a lot to us. So sorry to hear about your experience with the grill showing signs of rust. Our team has been working with you on a resolution. Thank you!
I really enjoy the feel of this BBQ—it’s solid, sturdy, and has a substantial weight that gives it a premium feel. The large cooking surface provides plenty of room, easily fitting a full rack of ribs with space to spare. Heat distribution is excellent, with even cooking across the entire surface and no cold spots. My wife especially appreciates the convenient side storage area, which is perfect for keeping the new griddle we just purchased.
Seems to burn up more gas at a faster pace than the last Weber genesis. I recognize it has 1 additional burner as a potential culprit.
I would recommend this to a friend!
