This grill is wonderful. It has great features, well built and sturdy. I love the Weber Crafted grill options. We added the griddle insert and plan on adding more especially the searing grate. We also love the added storage compartment, which is very handy. The fuel gage measuring device is a plus, however, the gauge marker on the outside of the door was upside down. We gently peeled it off and corrected it but had to add some shipping tape to hold it down. We also noticed that this grill efficiently burns and uses less LP than our old one. Overall, we love the Genesis grill, it's well built and will get used...a lot!
I have used Weber gas grills for a very, very long time (81 years old ) , but this one is by far the best. It is like cooking on my commercial natural gas stove , This grill does what i want it to do , high heat when i want it . The sear feature works better than i thought it would . I am even more elated with the 4 burner /front to back burners rather than the 3 running lengthwise , Two different grilling temperature's on the same grill . Best improvement in all the years Weber has been in business .
Very well built grill, good design features include the gas burners which burn very clean and the hood thermometer which is very beefy and accurate. The large side trays are very helpful. The stainless steel finish is very nice and the griddles are heavy duty and well made. I bought the griddle insert for this unit. It is an excellent add on for the weekend get togethers when you need fast cooking and maximum cooking surface. Overall it is almost as good as my Kalamazoo HB 750, which costs 10X as much. An excellent grill for the money and the Weber warranty makes the investment very worthwhile.
I had a 17 year old similar Weber grill and loved it. New deck - New grill. I cook outside several times a week, weather permitting. And this new replacement grill is even better! It handles all my outdoor cooking needs perfectly - veggies to bacon, hotdogs to steaks, etc. I really like the expandable upper shelf. The side burner is more convenient on the left side and the larger side shelf on the right side is much more usable in this extended size. The grill temperature control is terrific - very controllable from low up to 700 degrees. And the grill grates are more flexible than ever. I haven’t yet used the round wok grate but expect to soon. Flexibility is a good thing to have.
