Love it! It heats quickly and evenly. With the “sear” zone, I can now grill a great steak that is seared on both sides and is a uniform medium rare from top to bottom while being very juicy! It is as close to what my favorite steakhouse prepares as I can get, but hey, they broil theirs at 1800 degrees! Great grill, Weber!
Great grill. Love all the burners and the sear burner. Quality built and quality materials. Just one digression.. my old Weber had stainless steel grill grates. This grill has the skinny chrome grill grates. It’s very difficult to clean these grates, because food sticks to them. The stainless grill grates are much easier to clean and food does not stick to them as badly.
I have had a Weber Genesis grill for eight years and was very pleased with it. Time has come to replace it with this beauty. I could not be more pleased with its ease of operation and cooking/grilling quality.
This is a great grill however the grease pan does not cover the entire grilling area leaving grease drippings all over the inside

Thank you for your feedback regarding your Genesis S-435 grill. We are sorry to learn your grease tray is dripping all over the inside of the grill. This is a very unusual occurrence.
Normally, the grease from your grease tray funnels neatly into the drip tray below. We design our grease management system with ease and dependability in mind.
We are here to help get your issue resolved. Please look for an outreach email from our Support team soon. Thank you!
I'm loving my new Genesis. It heats up quickly and evenly, retains heat well, and is very well built. It puts out plenty of heat, including the side burner. The grates clean up easily and the extra storage is handy. Excellent grill. I have not yet tried out any of the other accessories, but I'm planning to soon.
Assembly was easy enough and took me about an hour and a half by myself.
A part was damaged during shipping and the Weber customer service sent me a replacement right away. They were very responsive and helpful.
