Decent grill, but poor instructions for assembly

I've had Weber Genesis natural gas grills in the past and loved them. For this new home, purchased a propane gas Genesis grill to assembly on my own since the store wanted 1-2 weeks to assemble it. The instructions for assembly are pictures only, and very difficult to follow in certain places. It also took several hours to assemble. Overall, the grill works great and looks great. Would have preferred an infrared burner on the side rather than the propane flame, but it still works great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I would have gave it 5 stars but I Upgraded to this grill after having a spirit for over 10 years. Disappointed to find out I have to additionally buy a tank scale when the less expensive spirit came with it. Does not make sense with the price of this grill.

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.

Incredible in every way!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had pretty high expectations for this grill…I have a co worker who sings the praises of this Weber Genesis, an older model he has had for years and continually gushes about. He is an avid grillsman, so we knew the Genesis S-435 would probably suit our needs as well, but even so, we were blown away at how well this grill performs, all the details that make outdoor cooking simpler, and how this thing is built to last, and last, and last.
It arrived in perfect condition, in a quite heavy box, filled with smaller, well marked boxes that once removed, made moving the large box doable between my husband and I. Using the included booklet, but mostly the BILT app, it took my husband a bit over 2 hours to construct. The app is great, using motion and the ability to rotate to see every quarter, it makes all instructions clear. Had I, or anyone given him more of a hand, it would’ve gone much faster, but he was pretty excited and didn’t want to wait on help.
The Weber Genesis is built with heavy duty components, and I have no doubt about how long it will hold up. The grates and the flame covers are thick and dense, and won’t rust away for a very long time…a problem that lesser grills certainly struggle with, even with regular maintenance and constant cover from the weather.
The temperature gauge is large and accurate, and the grill maintains steady, constant heat, and doesn’t lose an undo amount when opening to check your food.
I love that it has a gauge on the outside the measures how much propane you have, so you are never caught flatfooted mid-cook, which is an absolute disaster, especially when entertaining guests. It uses weight to determine how much LP you have, so it isn’t an exact measure, but it’s close enough to alert you when you should fill up.
There are hooks aplenty, so finding a place to hang tools, accessories or rags won’t be an issue. The cabinet beneath is large enough for your propane tank, the burn off and grease collection system, and room to spare for other accessories. Too, there is a side compartment that is quite tall and deep (I’ve included a photo with a soda can for scale), which is great for anything, but in particular the Weber Veggie Basket and Pizza Stone, which I’ll review soon. There is also a small basket for smaller items attached to the door, which I use to hold a flashlight for cooking at twilight.
The wheels spin smoothly, and can be locked in place. The grill is well balanced and level.
Lastly and most important, how does it cook? Excellently. I get a more consistent cook using the Weber than I’ve had with any other grill. On those lesser models, I’ve had to rotate my meats across the grates to circumvent hot and cool spots, but using the Genesis means I don’t have to babysit our dinner. Using the temperature gauge, and the consistency of the Genesis’ heat, I have been rewarded with perfectly cooked meals (perfectly cooked by the grill, not accounting for user error, to which my husband and I are prone).
Too, using the Sear Zone, I can lock in the flavor before moving our foods it to a a more moderate side of the grilling surface. The side burner works excellently, and the grill itself doesn’t have to be on to use it, which is a plus since this isn’t always the case.
Lighting the grill has been flawless…you do have to use the “ignite” button on each knob you want to turn on, which is a feature I like but was unfamiliar with.
As you can see, we are incredibly happy with the Weber S-435, and I’m already shopping for more accessories on their website. Next up for me is the smart cooking device, which I’m excited to get my hands on. We are completely satisfied, and recommend without reservation!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Some of my burners do not ignite, which I have to ignite manually.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback and we apologize for the inconvenience with your burners. We expect the ignition system to provide consistent results!
It is possible that the igniter electrodes which light your burners shifted during shipping or assembly. We recommend checking the end of the burners to confirm each electrode is parallel to the top of the burner.
We also recommend checking the wire connections at your igniter module under the grill.
Our Support team is here to help! Please look for our email outreach soon. Thank you!
