42 steps, but very straight foward assembly. I am very pleased with the purchase. Using the grill is a pleasure. I love the sear, additional burner, between the normal burner spacing. Also, its pretty!
The basic grill is fine and is meeting my expectations. That said, the wheel inserts are not nearly sturdy enough to handle the weight of the grill. Two of these collapsed when we brought the grill up the driveway and sidewalk to my deck. Even the 1/4 inch seams in my Trex decking material seem to be a challenge for the wheel / insert design. Your engineers need to do a serious evaluation of how this design can be improved and then offer that improvement to your customers who have already purchased grills. It's frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. So sorry to hear about the wheel inserts breaking. We want to know more and offer our assistance. Please look for an email outreach from us soon. Thank you!
Great value. Stainless Steel is easy to clean and maintain. Sear Zone helps make perfect medium to medium rare steaks without drying them out. Also help make crispy salmon skin. The scale for the propane tank means never gumbos much propane is left.
After years and years of buying those cheap grills that sit outside your local department store I decided one day to step it up and get a real grill. This baby right here is the equivalent of eating your favorite pizza at your favorite restaurant. It cooks evenly, is made with strong steel, and when your friends see it they’ll be like “ok that’s a serious grill right there”!! Just buy it and stop worrying!!
Love this grill!! I've had a Weber Genesis for 12+ years and its been great. This upgrade is even better and I LOVE the searing option! Great job, Weber !!
The Genesis grill is not an inexpensive unit. It is well built and very well designed! The construction is that of a higher end grill and I am pleased with it thus far. I have had a problem with the regulator valve and Ace is handling this. I am 65 and an avid cook. I have 1 large smoker and a ceramic cooker. The Genesis is the perfect addition to my outdoor kitchen.
