Replaces a previous Weber grill that was 18 years old. This is a basic grill without electronic frills, but with enough functionality for most grilling. It has a very good ignition system that can light each burner independently. I added a flat griddle for more variety in grilling. This is an excellent grill for the price.
Looks Nice But They Don’t Make Em Like They Use To

I bought a Weber Silver Grill back in the early 90’s and it served me well up until last October. I had to leave it behind when I moved across country. At my new home I decided to buy a new grill and it had to be a Weber. I purchased this 4 burner Genesis and I like the look of it. I like the grated and flavor bars too. The casters are really nice. It rolls and maneuvers easily. However compared to the Silver the materials used in the Genesis don’t seem as robust. The lid is more like sheet metal than the heat holding cast anodized aluminum lid on the Silver. I was disappointed that the new grill didn’t have a weight gauge for the propane tank like the old Sillver. I can’t speak to the burners, valves and lighter because it was delivered new with a defective regulator and I’m still waiting for Weber to send me a replacement.

My second Weber grill in 25 yrs. The original was still fully functional but had started to rust and I decided to treat myself. Really awesome to cook with and I am using the accessories i purchased with it. ie griddle and pizza stone . Very pleased with purchase.
The grill arrived in a dangerously unusable state, with a leak in the propane line pressure regulator. I have yet to be able to use the grill that I've owned for the better part of three months to know how well it functions. Two stars as it looks nice and wasn't too difficult to put together.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
