Have never owned a gas fired grill. Have always owned Weber Charcoal grills. Current one is a 26” model. Have to admit, it’s great having both on hand. The Genesis is a great grill, plenty of cooking area and extremely easy to operate.
I ordered the grill form Home Depot, to be assembled and delivered to my home. Unfortunately, the grease tray and wire catch pan holder were missing. I ordered the grease tray, but when I tried to slide it in, I discovered the rails were incorrectly installed so it couldn't be used. Returned the grill for a refund.
Home Depot issue not the grill!

We do grill a lot and this Weber heats up quickly and you can add accessories to grill vegetables or smoke your foods. Has nice area for storage for those accessories. The stainless steel is a nice appearance too.
I was impressed with the quality of the components, particularly how heavy-duty the stainless steel grates are. The side burner works great for cooking with a cast iron pan, and the top rack is very sturdy. The side tables are wide enough to hold all my spatulas and seasoning and whatever else I need for the cook. And the griddle insert is exactly as advertised - heavy and solid, well-seasoned, and heats very evenly across the surface. I am very happy with this purchase!
I am a longtime user of Weber grills. My last Weber was purchased in 2010 and used almost everyday. I retired that grill and purchased this grill. It's is everything I wanted natural gas, large with many add-on options. So far it has been perfect.
