I’ve previously owned Weber grills for 20 years and this one keeps with the high-quality tradition. So far, I like the flat grate tops (easy to clean) and temperature control. The natural gas version gets up to 700F, if desired. Constructive feedback: - if mechanically inclined, assembly takes about 90 mins. I wish the parts boxes were labeled better… the hardest part of assembly is figuring which box has the needed part! - owners manual is scant, even downloaded docs. I got two optional parts… don’t know what they are (wok grate?)
After 3 weeks, I’m very happy with the grill. Note that veterans get a discount(👏👏
Best grill I’ve ever owned. Well designed and assembly was easy to follow with online instructions. As for cooking….nice even heat and the sear feature is a plus.
I finally replaced my 28 year old, rebuilt 3 times Weber with a new one. They're well built and I expect this one will last as long with proper care. Heat management is improved and I believe the lid is insulated which is nice. As delivered, the ignitor for the side burner doesn't work and I've read this is a common problem. I have to light it with a match. I also don't care for having to ignite each burner separately. There could be additional storage behind the doors next to the propane tank but there's a diagonal support rod in the way. Minor annoyances but still annoying.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It doesn't get hot. Only to 250. Paid for setup and he left before it was lit.

Thank you for letting us know about the heat issue you are having. We apologize for the frustration, and we are here to help.
Natural gas grills require a specific gas connection to ensure proper gas pressure. If the grill is not getting hot enough, the connection is probably not set up to specification. Your owner's guide has more information about this assembly.
Our Care team is following up via email to help with your grill's gas connection. Please look for our outreach soon! Thank you.

Rust spots on stainless exterior after 1 use!

I have purchased at least 10 Weber gas grills in the past. The S-335 was purchased for our vacation home in MA that we occasionally will rent.
Unfortunately, this new grill started to have rust spots and pitting immediately. I noticed them after 1 use. Evidently the stainless steel exterior is not very durable and requires significant ongoing maintenance to keep the rust at bay. I just spent 30 minutes polishing the exterior with metal polish.
I expected to own this grill for years and encounter minimal maintenance. Now I know that I will need to polish the grill nearly every time I use it. And I am now concerned that my renters will complain about the appearance and quality of my new grill. I am beyond disappointed.
I shared my feedback with the hardware store where i bought it and he mentioned that Weber reduced the nickel component on the exterior and that leads to more rust spots.
As a long time, repeat Weber customer, I can say this will be my last Weber Grill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the stainless steel on the grill. Your satisfaction is very important to us. We will be sure to share this information with our team. Please look for an email outreach from us soon. Thank you!
The grill seems okay, but was missing 2 parts. a shelf inside the grill and a shelf under by the tank. Though all documentation showed the parts, Weber customer service would not send the parts. When I suggested a return they still refused. They spent more time refusing than the parts could have possibly cost 3 times over! I talked to my local Ace HW guy and in 5 minutes I had the shelves! Weber gets a zero for quality control and customer service.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Exactly What We Needed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Genesis E-335 Gas Grill is the perfect choice for any backyard grill. So far we have cooked a variety of meats, fishes, and produce on this beauty and it has been a breeze. There is plenty of surface area within the multi-level grates so you can cook a meal for the whole family at once. It finishes everything to just the right amount of doneness. Love the side burner, prep area, and storage area. A must buy for any and every home!
