I like the Bluetooth aspect, but have not been able to link to WiFi. I also like the ability to cook with the meat thermometers that register on my phone. On the other hand, I had to search online for the appropriate app. The one in the playstore is for another model, and does not work for Genesis 325. I also think the addition of the On the other hand the heating elements are not producing even heat: the back of the grill is hotter than the front of the grill. Another nice feature is the searing heat element.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am loving this grill! I replaced a different brand grill and the Weber is so much better! I really like the smart feature and searing zone. Another great feature is the slide out grease tray. I cooked some burgers and sausage recently, which left a big mess in the grease tray, but it took no time to clean it with the slide out tray! The larger side tables are very nice as well. I'm excited about the Weber Crafted system options and look forward to trying it soon. I definitely recommend this grill.
A little inconvenient to have to plug it in to use the electronic ignition but it performs flawlessly. Typically the manual igniters are the first thing to go on other grills.
The “sear zone” is a flame thrower. Sear steaks and then shut down the grill to finish your cooking.
Haven’t used the meat sensor yet, it I’m sure it will be of equal high quality.

Thank you for your feedback. We are thrilled to learn that you love your new grill.
Your electronic ignition system is powered by a AA battery located in the igniter module. Your grill can be lit without being plugged into a power outlet.
Your Weber Connect Smart Hub is powered through the power cord or via an optional rechargeable, USB-Certified power bank.
We hope you make many delicious meals and happy memories with your new grill. Thanks for being a Weber fan!
Really need to opt for a battery option that’s chargeable, rather than need to plug in. For the price of the grill, I would expect that alternative to what’s present. Yes I’m aware than an external power source can be used, but I would envision a better option being something that can natively hold a charge so I’m not trying to figure out a power source in addition to my NG line
