This is a great, roomy grill. Well made and easy to use. I’ve had Webers in the past and they served me well. I liked it well enough that I purchased one for my daughter also.
The Weber S-435 replaced my 10+ year old Genesis E-310 and the amount of grilling space allowed by the S-435 appeared to be 30% more surface and it made grilling for it's FIRST barbeque party so much easier and enjoyable!
Expensive but good quality. Worth the money. Heats fast and cooks well. This is the first expensive grill I’ve ever had. Normally I buy cheap ones that last maybe 2-3 years. I got tired of constantly replacing them so I went with a Genesis this time. Only con I have is the stainless steel rusts in my area (Washington State) I recommend wiping grill down weekly with bar keepers friend as small rust starts to develop on the stainless steel but once a week clean with bar keepers it comes right off. Would recommend a Weber to anyone who can afford the entry fee. Well made and cooks better than any cheaper grill I’ve had.
Very little flare up. Grease collection cup really works. Stainless steel get water stains very easily. Very hard to remove. Large handle gets hot. So far so good.
I’ve owned Weber charcoal grills and bullet smokers for most of my adult life. This is my first venture into a propane. Absolutely LOVE the four burners + sear zone; expertly engineered! Assembly took me about 4 hours on my own but that’s because I was interrupted several times and may have taken a beer break or two just because it was a super lazy Saturday; probably could have done it in 2 or even less had my type-a alter ego kicked in. My first cook on it were some chicken legs and thighs and skewered veggies. The control you get across the grilling real estate is amazing; I truly wouldn’t go with less than 4 burners if you want to micro-manage your zones 🤣. No regrets whatsoever on this purchase.
Had it for 3 week used it 10 times. It's Great! Took 2 times to get accustomed to it, last one was a 3 burner. My son and I assembled it and it was simple to do. I can say, from touching the parts, we should get many, many years of cooking experience on this Genesis! The parts are of quality! Our last Genesis was purchased in 1994 and still cooked on it until The day we purchased the new Genesis E-435! For sentiment, we kept the lid from the 94! I would not purchase anyother grill other an a WEBER! Made in the USA!!
