The ignition system is much harder to light than my old grill. There is no longer a button to push, and it takes multiple attempts to start. Last night it took 5 or 6 tries before it lit. I have also found that with this grill it is not as easy to regulate the temperature. Overall, I am not overly happy with this grill. I thought I was upgrading to a newer, better grill, but now wish I had kept my old one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear the ignition experience and temperature control have not met your expectations compared to your previous grill. The Spirit E-310 features our Snap-Jet ignition system, which is designed differently from older push button ignitions and may take a little adjustment as you get familiar with the startup process.
For the best ignition performance, we recommend turning the burner knob slowly to start/high position and allowing the igniter to click before moving to the next burner. Environmental factors such as wind or propane flow can occasionally affect lighting performance.
We also understand how frustrating it can be when a new grill doesn't feel like the upgrade you expected. Temperature regulation can improve as you become more familiar with burner settings and preheat timing, but we appreciate you sharing your experience and will pass your comments along to our product team. Thank you!
We are very dissatisfied with this model. Problems with the regulator (a kink in the hose) & no gas flows. We received a new one from Weber & there's still problems. I would appreciate someone from Weber to come inspect it to see what the problem is. I've tried two brand new filled tanks of propane for testing & still no gas flows through.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear you are experiencing gas flow issues with the grill. This is not the Weber experience we strive to provide, and we want to help. Please look for an outreach email from our Care Team soon. Thank you!
Great small grill for the price; would have liked to have the option to purchase a panel for the back of the grill.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very depressing to see that I'll never be able to upgrade my old trusty small Spirit to something that doesn't come with many tradeoffs. Yes, I can get three burners instead of two but then you can't have stainless steel. Oh boy, I can get a full size griddle but you can't have four wheels on the bottom any more. Oh wow, I can get snap-jet ignition but forget about having a full enclosure to conseal and protect your propane tank and anything else you want to store in the cabinet. And to top it off so you really really feel like you're getting less for your money, let's make the latest model weigh 98 lb instead of 120 lb because that is so beneficial to have less weight since you're only getting two wheels instead of four. I guess it takes a new generation of grill owners to not be as disappointed as I am in the product line.
