The grill does not get as hot as I had hoped. It takes a long time to heat up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback. Thank you for letting us know about the issue you are experiencing. We apologize for the inconvenience! Your grill should easily reach 500F, which is hot enough to cook and sear.
If your grill is not reaching this heat level with the lid closed after 15 minutes, then we recommend some simple troubleshooting.
1.) Please check your LP tank's nozzle connection to ensure it is clean and clear of damage. Then perform a soapy-water leak test to rule out a gas leak. Your grill will limit gas flow if it senses a leak.
2.) Please make sure you consider "High" on your control knobs to be the first spot to your left (the 9:00 position). The further you go to the right the lower the temperature will be and all the way to the right is low.
3.) Please make sure you're always cooking with the lid down except when flipping the food halfway. The second you open the lid the heat escapes, and you'll need to close it to let the temperature recover.
4.) It sounds like your grill may be in a safety mode known as “bypass." What’s happening is that the regulator thinks there’s a gas leak, so it reduces the pressure. Follow these instructions to reset the bypass safety mode. This is not only the reset, but how you want to light your grill each and every time.
Open the lid Make sure all knobs are in the off position (including side burner if applicable) Turn your LP tank on all the way Wait 60 seconds Turn the first burner to start/high Hit your igniter Turn on all remaining main burners, one by one Close the lid Let your grill preheat to 500-550°F
Expensive and cooks like any other grill. Value will depend on how long the grill will last

This is a great grill however if I were to purchase a Weber product again, I would have it delivered assembled. This took 3 hours to assemble. The app helped however there was a point in assembly that was very difficult to get the part to fit the way it was supposed to which delayed the completion.
Having owned grills for 50 years, I can easily say this is by far, the best grill I have ever owned! I grill at least 2 times weekly year round. With the pull out bottom, cleaning is very easy. Thanks Weber for this design. One very happy customer
I’ve been eyeing Weber grills for some time. I have a small one for camping and I absolutely love it. This one is fantastic. It heats up great. I love the add on for accessories and I love that it even has a place to put them. The clean up on this grill couldn’t be any easier as well. I’m so over the moon happy with this this grill. I just got the rotisserie and griddle top and I can’t wait to try them out. I know it’s going to be prefect. The design of this grill is one of the best ones I’ve seen yet and I couldn’t be happier with the propane display on the outside of the grill. Half cooked food because the grill ran out of propane will be a thing of the past.
