The sheetmetal is half of the thickness of my last Webber. It feels flimsy for fifteen hundred dollars. I would have chosen something else but the other manufacturers didn't have natural gas grills. I feel cheated because I won't have anywhere near the longevity like my last Webber.

My Genesis S 335 natural gas grill is perfect for cooking all meats the extra burner is great for searing steaks and there's plenty of room to to roast a large chicken off direct heat. The heat is very even and manageable.
This is my first Weber gas grill. I did have a handle gromet, the door to the side storage and the rubber silencers were damage in shipping but were sent replacement parts that arrived with in 7 business days thanks to the shipper who sat on part of them for 3 days. And now the igniter for the side burner does not work when I tried it the other night. I have not contacted Weber on this issue. E335 Propane gas grill works well for grilling about anything. So far, the clean-up after each use has been easy. And I have not had any flare-ups while cooking ground chuck burgers and have cooked pork chops and steaks that have come out great. I do wish they would have kept with the older type knobs as I don't care for the looks of the new ones. I think my major complaint is with the way the tank mounts to the fuel gauge inside the cabinet. At 67 trying to mount a 25lb tank inside the cabinet and lifting it onto the the fuel gauge mechanism is a real pain in the back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well constructed with good features: Fuel tank gauge visible from outside cabinet, easy start of each individual burner; separate sear zone burner; large side surface area; more durable wheels; slide out drip pan system easier to access and clean; wider cooking area with individual flame zones vertical rather than horizontal which aids with indirect heat cooking.
