Weber GENESIS EX-325s Propane Gas Smart Grill with Sear Burner - Black - 35510001

1. Didn't just buy the grill. Had if for 2 years. Was giving as a 25th year at work anniversary gift. Don't know why I'm asked for a review but, here it comes. 2. Grill basically blew up in my face. Burning eyebrows and hair on my arms off. Along with 2nd degree burns on face, and nose. 3. Called customer service to buy parts due too not being able to locate exact OEM parts online. And, was referred to "incident team" telling me to "file case and we'll see what we can do for you." 4. Only to be told it's wasn't the grill's fault it blew up. 5. Had to BUY parts for repair myself after waiting and proding customer service for 5 weeks for response of claim. 6. Still don't know for sure why it caught on fire? Even though the incident team thinks they do through pictures? 7. Bottomline - Upset with WEBER why I had to wait 5 week to tell me there's nothing they'll do for me besides offer me a discount to purchase a new one. Mean while been without a working grill for 5 weeks at the start of summer (grill season). Thank you for wasting my time. 6. Won't be purchasing a grill from Weber anytime soon, year, or century.

My new genesis grill is amazing. My old one lasted 16 years. I grill about 3 to 4 times a week if not more my grill came fully assembled.

The grill is great! The LP gas regulator, not so much. I had excessive gas leaking and got two replacement hoses and a new tank to get it to work. BUT once working through that was complete everything seems to be fine!and have had two great results.

Well-made grill. I love the option to install the frame to hold the pizza stone and the griddle surface. Construction and design are well thought through. We had a stainless steel Ducane for many years (who Weber bought out many years ago), and this improves on the side-burner and the heat plates. The gas burner rods are quite intense, so it's a bit hard to keep a low temperature on a hot day for low, slow cooking. Obviously not a problem for high-temps or searing! The aftermarket Weber brand handle light is great, especially if you live in the northern half of the U.S. or Canada, and like to barbecue year long and don't have nearby lighting to see the surface in darker hours. The shelf surfaces are very sturdy for working on, or grabbing to roll the grill to a different location. Stainless steel version is worth it to me for a few extra bucks, so I'm glad we stuck with stainless. Overall, I am quite happy to have a new grill after 20 years with the Ducane. My only minor wish-list item would be a simple spot for smoking wood chips given the price and design of the Genesis S models (I believe it is already on the Summit models), but this is a minor niggle. I bought a gas grill....

I bought a new Genesis S-315 to replace my ten year old Genesis which I loved. Like one other reviewer (sorry I did not read what he said first), I found the design changes very disappointing. The cast iron grates have been replaced by stainless steel (I tried to use my old grates on the new grill, but they did not fit); much of the stainless steel frame has been replaced with something else; the tank gauge (just a spring on which the propane tank hung) has been eliminated; the wheel locks at first looked to have been improved with larger pedals, but are so stiff that have been unable to put them in the locked position. To top everything off, when I tried to register my grill to activate the warranty, the Weber website would not recognize my grills serial number. It took a phone call to a call center (which asked me to provide a photo of the number plate—which I did) with no response after two days, and a complaint through the web site to resolve this. I tried to find a grill grate to replace one of the one of the stainless grates. My retailer provided a model number and told me to purchase it through Amazon. I did, and found it does not fit. I tried to find out through the Weber website if they even make one that fits—I'm waiting for a reply.

I bought my Genesis E-315 5/18/24 and we have been entertaining family and just casual grilling for two. I decided to assemble the Genesis myself, as a tradesman for forty years I wanted to see how well it is built. Easy to assemble and felt quite satisfied with construction materials. Grill is sturdy & very nice looking. Having bought cheaper grills in the past & constantly replacing EVERYTHING, I thought I'd give weber and their warranty a try. Yes it's early and we plan on pampering this grill, but I must say I am very satisfied with it, easy lighting, plenty of heat range and heats quickly and evenly. If you're where I was and thing of stepping up your game this may be the grill for you too!

We replaced an older 300 series Genesis grill with this one after our last one lasted almost 20 years. There is a reason why Weber is the best. everything from the simple assembly instructions to the wonderful packaging. We have been using it for the last few weeks and could not be happier with our purchase.

It's a pretty good grill, but the build quality isn't as good as I was expecting for the price. Weber is definitely cutting corners in a few places, like the cheap plastic knobs and some plastic bolts and screws. I also don't appreciate that the top of the lid is now flat. On previous models the top was curved. The new flat design holds water when it gets rained on.

The unit looks great and start very well. The only downside it is the heat is not uniform on the overall cooking space specially in the front of the grill, toward the back it is hotter than the front. Feel very sturdy and well constructed with quality stainless grill and frame.

By far the best Gas BBQ grill I have ever purchased! Right away when assembling the grill I could see a distinct difference in the quality of materials used. I was skeptical at first about having fewer burners than my previous grills, but after just one use I could tell that the design actually facilitated a more even heating surface. I no longer need to worry about where the "hot spots" are. It is also much easier to clean. My advice is spend a little more than you would on a bargain grill. It is well worth it.
