Had to replace our last Genesis due to tree damage. This model is a bit bigger and more BTUs The sear burner is awesome! Makes a big difference. Heats up quickly. The two big differences are 1) you have to use the igniter button every time you want to light a burner 2) the side burner is on the left side now, not the right.
Starts up every time, has a huge cooking area, and holds a consistent temperature. We've used it as an oven and a grill. Really glad we went with a Weber.
Love the new BBQ. I have been buying Weber for years. This BBQ is back to the quality of the past with the cast iron grates. My previous purchase is stainless steel (new one with cast iron is at the cottage) and old used at home. I almost feel like swapping them out. Purchased the griddle attachment which wasn’t available on the old model.
By far the best gas grill I have ever owned. It was a breeze to put together. It’s big, and it is fantastic. And the sear grate is amazing. I also got the griddle, but haven’t had a chance to use it yet. I’m sure it will be fantastic as well.
