Bought this E-415 grill to replace a lesser brand that didn't even last five years. We've only used it a couple times so far, but it has all the long-lasting hallmarks of our prior Weber grills. It's solid, heats up quickly and is relatively even across the burners and front to back.
I like this model because it doesn't have a side burner which we have never used with prior grills. Prefer having more counter surface to hold platters and such.
Hubby received from me as a Father's day Gift. Loved our old Silver Genesis (probably 15-20 years old) but it really needed to be replaced. The E-415 is gorgeous and has plenty of space to cook for our large family (18-22) get togethers. We kept the old grill for messy cooking LOL. Thank you Weber for making quality products that provide us with tasty meals!
Easy assembly. Instructions even tell you what not to do. Parts fit perfectly and result is a sturdy unit. Grill fired up immediately. Heats to 700° in ten minutes. Cooking temperature well distributed. 4 burners and grid set up allows you to cook smaller meals in the middle with two burners. Much better than a more expensive 3 burner grill I had previously.
As a Weber customer since the early 80’s, we’ve always enjoyed Webers commitment to outdoor cooking. We started with the charcoal type grilling and have graduated to propane as we use our grill almost everyday. Our last grill was a summit style and used for about 10 years. Very good grill. Our latest purchase is the Genesis S-415. There are a few noticeable differences. The lack of a propane gauge, the smaller diameter grilling grate being the two most notable. The grilling area is much larger then our Summit unit and hoping this unit lasts as long as our last one.
This is the first Weber grill i have owned at it has lived up to my expectations. It has an even heated cooking grill area. It is also solid and well built when I open the lid on the grill I cannot not help t think how well balanced the lid is and easy to open. Only knock i have so far is the stainless steel is magnetic (not 316) which itself will not be an issue to me as long as it doesn’t rust. Looking forward to owning this grill for years to come.
