I loved my old Weber grill so when it finally gave out (even though I felt like it should have lasted longer than 4 years) I got another Weber. I like the improvements on this one such as the individual electronic ignition for each burner. It takes a few uses to get the hang of it but it fixes the issue that doomed my last grill. Also the wheels broke on my last one and couldn’t be replaced, while this one has wheels that are replaceable so it solves the problem. The sear feature is what sold me on that and I haven’t had a chance to try that out yet but will this weekend. Things I liked about Weber: heats up quickly, consistent temperature, easy to clean. Overall happy with the new one!
Really like the sear and the ignition features . My only complaints would be the body sounds tinny and cheap and with only two wheels makes it more difficult to move around. I am comparing this to a previous Weber grills I have owned
The front panel that backs the knobs were scratch up and the screw hole on the far left side was not drilled in quite the right place so that it does not let the front panel latch on the left side to the grill properly and has movement in it. Other than that the grill is fine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The grill works great and it features are what i was looking for. The only issue is the shelves double as a handle to move it around, but the metal is to thin and the shelf bends upwards when lifting it to roll it to another spot. This leaves the shelf bent upward and i have to push it down to level it. It will break eventually.
Grill arrived with a manufacturing defect in the gas hose line related to the mounting bracket. Several calls to Weber and they sent someone to fix it. In addition, it has not gotten hot enough even on the highest setting to efficiently cook chicken, burger or steak, so I have to cook everything over the Sear Setting. Overall I have not been impressed with this grill and would not buy again.

Its okay. .. I appreciate lifting the lighter cover on grill. I bought for 4 burners and havent really figured out the 2 searing burners. I am more careful on grease and cooking cuz I HATE CLEANING THE GRILL. I hope the igniters will last longer than 2 summers stored in our cold / hot climate .
I would recommend this to a friend!
