Pros: Seems well made. Heats up quickly and evenly. Side tables are nice size. Cons: Not happy they control selling price, which is higher than it should be. Side tables are nice size , but make the grill inconveniently too wide. Would be nice to have at least one side table be retractable. Not sure how long the igniter wires will last as they are exposed on one side below the side table and accessible to squirrels, etc.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback. Your satisfaction is very important to us. So excited to hear you are enjoying your new grill!
We will be sure to share your comments regarding the side table with our team for consideration.
Regarding the igniter wires, they are made to withstand the elements and should not be affected by the weather.
Our Care team will reach out to follow up. Please look for an outreach from us soon. Thank you for being a Weber fan!
The grill is well made and has excellent temperature control. It's only shortcoming is that none of the Weber accessories fit it! I might have chosen a different model if I'd been informed of that in the store.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Really good basic unit if you want no-frills but expanded grill surface. Build quality is good not great. It grills evenly and can get really hot. Good value and recommended.
Great grill, but the quality is not what it used to be. The build quality is nowhere near the that of my 15 year old Weber it replaced. Time will tell if I get a similar lifespan out of this one.
I really like this grill in every way: starting, heat distribution, cleaning, style, and solid construction. On start with closed lid, the temp gauge reaches 600 and it is HOT; makes cleaning fast and easy, turn it down halfway and it cooks everything (burgers, meat, fish,...) very nicely. My only wish is the side tables were made of a better material to withstand simple scratches; not sure how well they will hold up in time. I am expecting to have to order new ones down the way to keep it looking fresh. GET A COVER. Can't go wrong with this one!
My only concerns is that the maximum temperature is less than my previous Weber Grill model and the metal grates are not as efficient as the grills in my previous model. What I do like is that the gas line does not run through the firebox as my previous grills did (which contributed to grill fires).
This is my fourth Weber grill. I enjoyed all of them till the "last drop" In this one, I had the opportunity to get help from German. Excellent service. This is the grill to enjoy at home. Period..
