Cooks alright, but the grease catch pan fills up with water when it rains. It overflows and stinks. Never had this problem with my old 2 burner spirit.
Stainless steel not as thick as older models plus no tank guage. Seems like more money for a dumbed down product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have owned Webers for 30 years. I continued to be disappointed in the quality of the materials used in the bottom and the sides of the grill. Rusting has been a consistent problem. The grill area itself is great. I now have my 4th Weber grill, 4 burner with seer capability. I hope it lasts!
This grill is excellent. It gets hot quickly and sears meat perfectly it you follow the simple directions accompanying the Spirt E 425. Cleaning is easy with the new pull-out tray design.
