Disappointed that the "port" to light the grill without the starter is gone. The starters are the first thing to go and I will miss being able to start it with a cheap butane starter. I was also disappointed that the propane tank gage has been deleted. Although it wasn't 100% accurate it at least gave some inkling as to how much propane was left. Otherwise the grill is excellent, love it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your feedback on the Genesis S-315 Gas Grill. We understand your disappointment with the missing tank scale and the port to light the grill manually. We want to learn more about your experience. Please look for an outreach email from our Care Team soon. Thank you!
My first Weber lasted 10 years. After moving I purchased the Genesis model and it does not measure up to the old Weber Grills

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear of your concerns about the quality of your newer Genesis model. Your grill includes a great warranty, so you can be confident that your investment is protected. Your satisfaction is very important to us, and the Weber Care team is always here to help.
Replaced my 2 burner 12 year old Weber Genesis with the 3 burner Genesis. The new grill preheats much quicker which is a bonus. This is the 2nd Genesis I’ve had and I must say they are much better built than the Spirits I’ve owned. Great grip and well worth the price!
My Genesis 315 was bought a couple months ago and I just finished assembling it. The assembly instructions on BILT were great. The grill works well and we are pleased with it. My only complaint is that the left shelf was a bit rusted with a small amount of grease on it when unpacked.
