Seems to be a good grill. At 15 minutes with all 4 burners on high it’s usually just below 500°. I would have expected a grill of this caliber to get a little hotter a little faster. The overall build quality seems top notch. The side storage door doesn’t have a proper hinge so it does need a little assistance to close it properly. I’ve cooked 12 meals on it so far and the flavors/taste have been excellent!
Your dials are upset down this is concerning due to the fact that im 63 years old and everything is upset down. I gave away my 3 burner genius with the dials correct and hate myself for getting ride of it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

First Weber I have owed and so far it has lived up to the hype. Though they are on the more expensive side for my budget the quality is definitely way better than any grill I’ve owned. Really enjoy cooking on it and the consistency of the heat surface is great!
This is my 3rd Weber grill in 25 years and I knew that when I needed to replace my previous one it would be another Weber. This grill heats up insanely quickly and I love having the griddle option to expand what I'm cooking on it. I use my grill 2-3 times a week at a minimum and having the natural gas option means I'm never running out of fuel or having to change tanks at an inconvenient time. This grill is perfect for me.
Regarding assembly. 1. Why not put a video on Utube. For each Weber unit assembly. There is not a good one for the S-435. I looked at all two of them online. One was a different model, the other was useless. 2. There was one error in the printed and online (same as printed) instructions. 3. There was several incorrect instructions (not errors) because of model upgrades or changes. 4. Some of the sheetmetal/screw holes did not line up. I learned how to line them up using my fist and pounding. Now the good. I wound up liking the assembly pictures in the manual. They are clever. I like the letter/number system for the parts and boxes. The packing was perfect, loved the whole box. The Bilt app is terrible, for starters it was for a different unit than the S-435. I would check on it, maybe I was using the wrong Bilt file?
