Worth every penny. We bought a less expensive grill a few years ago, because the Webers were so expensive or so I thought. Well in about ryears the grill disintegrated. That was after I replaced the grates & the baffles 2 years in. It is kept u der a covered patio.
This time we spent the extra money. The Weber is built like a tank. It grills great, the steaks and everything else look great.
Love everthing about it. Weber stands behind their product with a 12 year warranty. That was the final point when we decided to spend the extra. My old one had a 2 year warranty. Should have known it wouldnt last.
Looking forward to showing it off at our next cookout!
