Terrible Grill

Purchased in March. Assembled in May due to an injury. This grill is Terrible compared to my 2012 Weber Genesis 3 Burner w/Sear station. Takes longer to cook. Even thin chicken cutlets take long to cook. Unit is made out of cheaper materials than my old 2012 grill. Tried to return and "Customer Service" had me do all these tests and check for leaks etc etc... and basically told me it seems to be working fine, we cant help you. Basically telling me I'm stuck with this trash $2,000 grill. Terrible customer service. I DO NOT Recommend this grill or any other from Weber.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've owned Weber Grills my whole life and love them. This grill is the best so far with great features and stainless steel finish. Never even thought about going with another brand.
I cannot tell you how it is working because the grill is unassembled. Weber agreed to ship a replacement grill to a qualified contractor for assembly and the grill showed up at my house unassembled. I contacted Weber and they informed me that a contractor would call me to arrange assembly. No one has called. Weber has been a huge disappointment.

The instructions on how to put the grill together were terrible!! I called the help line and was put on hold forever. I finally got to talk to someone then they hung up on me so I had to call back and I was again put on hold for a long time again.

I bought the S-435 to replace a beloved Genesis II. Full disclosure I never saw the S-435 before purchasing, if I had I probably would not have purchased it. The drop in quality materials from the Genesis II is astounding. The II is an extremely heavy, solid, grill. The S-435 is almost flimsy in comparison. The reason that it matters, is that this grill cannot hold its heat. When you lift the lid, even if you close it quickly, there is a dramatic loss of temperature. It takes longer to preheat. It is not the quality of grill I thought I was buying. Very disappointing. I don’t love the stainless steel grates. Again, temperature is an issue. It’s a fine grill. It’s not a great grill and for the name and the price it should have been.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this as a replacement from another bbq of another brand. So far I love this bbq. Propane fuel level gauge is very handy to ensure you don't run out halfway through cooking. I upgraded to have a webber griddle on half the grill to make cooking more versatile. So far very happy with my purchase.
