Very well made grill! Packaged beautifully easy to understand assembly instructions and it was simple to put together by myself. ( I have a hoist for the heavy lifting).
This grill has the same quality and updated features I have come to expect after 40 years of owning Weber Grills. Really like the slide out drip tray on this model. Job well done Weber
One of those few purchases that wows you on the first use. Fun to assemble with the Bilt app, yes fun. Heat up quickly. Cooking surface is huge and even. Cast iron grills leave grill marks and are pretty stick free.
We grill year-round (even when it's snowing) and love this grill. It was a replacement for an old Weber Spirit that served us well for many years but could no longer be saved regardless of how many replacement parts we threw at it. I agree with some other reviews that it would be nice to have the hanging gauge to help estimate the level of remaining fuel but as long as you keep an extra tank on hand it's no big deal. I assembled it myself and the only painful part was one of the very first steps to get the bottom shelf to align and fit correctly, otherwise everything went smoothly using the printed instructions and available app. Very pleased that the flavorizer triangular bars and other inserts are stainless steel, and the burners are impressive and a big improvement over the Spirit model. Also, the design of the slide-out drip tray makes cleaning much easier. And we always prefer coated cast iron cooking grates to wire racks so that's just another plus. We don't miss having a side burner (we only used it once during a superstorm Sandy power outage) and don't think a sear station is necessary since this grill gets very hot. Would definitely recommend it as a superior, basic grill with more than adequate grilling surface area if it's within your budget. You will not be disappointed!
I expected for the price I paid, the grill would have a tank gauge indicating the level of gas used. My previous, less expensive, Weber grills (2) had this feature. Otherwise, it's a good grill, but pricey.
This is my second Weber. The first was the Q bbq. We had that for years and it never let us down. It was time to replace so we decided to go large. This Gensis we purchased is outstanding. The quality and build is solid. Very impressive and cooks like a professional should. My son does most of the cooking and loves it. He cooks at night sometimes so I got him the Weber handle light (a definite add on to consider). Very happy and know this will last me years. Thanks, Peter.
This is my second time buying this BBQ. First one was a NG model that I had to leave when moving as my new home didn’t have NG and Weber doesn’t have a Propane conversion for their BBQ’s. Regardless, I’d buy a third if needed as this is my forever BBQ. Build was easy, and all the components are quality and fit together very well. Once assembled and after an initial burn off we bbq’d up some New York strips and they turned out fantastic. Had some dripping and some brief flare ups but with the drip tray design they extinguish quickly. Heat is very uniform over the entire grill area and precisely controlled whether you’re slow cooking or putting on a nice sear. Spend the extra for this BBQ and you will not be disappointed.
