Verified Purchase:Yes
This Weber Grill has replaced our 30+year old Weber Grill. Since we got so much use out of our original Weber purchase, there wasn't any doubt about buying another Weber. This new one will probably outlive us!!! Our new grill lights up even easier than our previous Weber, but everything else is just what we were used to - a dependable grill that cooks great!!! AND THAT'S WHY WE BOUGHT ANOTHER WEBER!!!
After 5 or so startups the center burner only lit up half way. I had to blow in the direction of the flame to get the rest of the burner to ignite. Now only a 1/4 of the burner ignites. Still love the way it cooks.
I liked my old Weber grill better. The side shelves folded up, the ones on this grill I have to remove because they don't fold up. I also liked my old grill grate better. It was the same design for the whole grill. This one is half like my old one and the other half, well after several months I still don't understand what the reasoning is for the difference.
Very short hose. Must also purchase the cart for in order to use in different environments.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like this grill I also have a pellet grill but the Weber is really good if you have something that you want to cook quickly. Overall the construction and materials are very good. The little tables on the the side are flimsy and I just removed them early on.
I feared not getting the little crisp on steaks and burgers as I got on my (now broke) infra red grill. But even though it takes a little longer to get to the max temp, it works better than I would ever have expected. And slow cooking a whole chicken on it was amazing the results I got. Small footprint, large cook area, versatile, I love this grill!!
