Grate is hard to clean. Not sure if a stainless grate would be easier to clean, but if so there should be clearer directions on this
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback. Happy to help with instructions for cleaning your cooking grates. We recommend cleaning your cooking grates every time you use your grill. Simply preheat the grill on high for 15 minutes, with the lid closed, and then brush the grates clean with a Weber Stainless Steel Grill Brush. For a more thorough cleaning, use our Grate Grill Cleaner and scrubber pads. Hope this is helpful. Our Care team is reaching out to follow up. Thank you!
A big improvement over my 25 year old grill. Well built even if that makes it a bit heavy to move around the deck. Only improvement would be if I could turn down flame lower for slowing cooking.
Nice barbecue, heats evenly. Wish it had casters as it is quite heavy and a little difficult to move around. Would be nice if the table sides folded down as it takes up a fair amount of room. Happy with the purchase.
Have looked at the Weber gas grills for a long time. Was swayed in on-line reviews to consider the updated Spirit over my previous looks at the Genesis. (The Genesis cost was always a bit much for me.) Have been thoroughly impressed with the grill for the two months I've had it. Great looking and high quality. Very effective sear setting has made steaks better than ever. Quick to heat up and easy to clean. Best grill I've owned to date!
Work great and seems to be very well built as you'd expect from Weber. Thought it might be a little small compared to my last grill (Kenmore) but I haven't found space to be an issue at all since using several times. Plenty of space and room to have different heat zones if you like it. So far the only aspect keeping me from giving this 5 stars is that it's difficult to get the grill "REALLY" hot. The sear zone does work as an intense heat zone but it takes quite awhile to build up temperature. Also very small nit-pick but the "sear zone" burners work counterintuitively to the High / Low ends of the control. Meaning you have to turn the knob all the way down from high to the low end and then turn it into the sear zone. Seems like an odd design choice. But small quibbles aside, this an excellent grill, feels built to last, and seems like it'll be perfect for what I need.
