It's new, of course, but so far everything works well. I've tried indirect cooking using the upper shelf and it was fantastic. Strangely, the grill stayed at over 400° and I had to keep turning the 2 burners down - that was great!
This is my first Weber grill and my only disappointment is that I didn't purchase one years ago. The Weber heats up quickly and I am able to maintain or adjust the temperature without any . Flare-ups are minimal and the grease tray does a great job. Thanks Weber for making such a good product.
We use the grill 3 to 4x per week. They don't hold up well in Florida's climate. Had to replace most parts under warranty of my old Weber SS gas grill as they rusted out and the grill is covered unless in use. Even the frame rusted out which is ultimately why I replaced my last grill with this new one. I suspect I'll go through the same issues with this one. I've been 22 years in this house and this is my third grill. I like the operation of the new one so far except they left large openings in the storage area. Possums crawl in and annihilate the aluminum catch tray. There are possum tracks in the bottom of the storage area. The leave a big mess. I will need to resolve that issue. One more household project! Grill works great so far!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had a couple of gas grills before that were cheaper and then I made the move to charcoal for quite a few years. Then realized how much more convenient gas was and that I wasn't really going to miss out on much with going back to gas. This has been the best grill I've ever used. You can tell the quality is significantly better than any of my previous grills plus I get a much better sear on this than any gas grill I've used in the past. I can fire this thing up and start searing a steak in less than 15 minutes (the manual says to wait 10-15 mins for it to heat up, otherwise I would start searing much quicker). This has been a game changer for me and now I try to make every single meal on it because it's such an amazing grill to use.
This grill is incredible. Replaced a 20 yo Weber Genesis that still worked but wanted to upgrade. So glad I chose this one. And Ocean Blue color is awesome!
