Weber GENESIS S-435 Propane Grill w/ Cover, Griddle & Sear Grate

Not easy to clean, after using the first time outside of grill collected a lot of dust, Pollen and appears to be a film much like a fine grease coating. Cleaned with a stainless grill cleaner but didn't stay clean long. Seems to attract lots of pollen and dust. I purchased a grill cover hopefully this will help

Especially love the sear zone. Took forever to assemble but it's worth it. Only complaint is the film that was on the top protecting the stainless steel left adhesive all over the top and is very unsightly. The entire top has it.

It's my first Weber and so far so good. It's going to take me some time to figure out the meat probes and timing multiple different dishes at the same time with the Weber Connect app but I'll get there. Excited to make use of the Weber crafted frame and accessories.

I am unable to get enough heat to sear meat, even in the "sear zone." I am very unhappy with this and hope there is a fix.

Best grill I've ever owned! Plenty of space, looks great, and very precise heating.

It took me a couple of times to realize that the temperatures are true and even , I used have to shuffle my food around to find the hot spots. Also , the side shelf is a nice size coupled with the built in storage section make life easier . Very happy with it .

The weather has been atrocious where I live, a very rainy spring, people hereabouts are referring to the sixth month as "Juneuary". Consequently, the grill has only been used five times. So far, so good; it does what it is designed to do. I upgraded from a three burner Genesis bought new in 1996, primarily to get a better indirect cooking area. Back then, the burners were placed horizontally, so the indirect area was along the back or the front of the grates. Even if only one of the three burners was used, the indirect area was long and skinny; not ideal for some items. Modern grills have the burners arranged front to back, plus, this is a four burner grill with more surface area, so the indirect area is rectangular and can be fairly large if only the far left or right burner is used. I have only a few minor complaints, one theoretical, two practical. First, as opposed to my older grill, this unit does not have a "full frame". By frame, I mean a full rigid box structure composed of square tubing. This unit has a rectangular frame at the left and right, but they are held in place by sheet metal panels, on the sides, bottom, and back, as well as the burner box casting. This only theoretical, but the full frame seems like it would be stronger. That said, the actual main box of grill is very rigid, and I don't think it will be problem. However, the table work surfaces to the left and right of the main box are a different story. On the older grill, the upper horizontal frame rails extended a bit more than a foot the left and right of the burner box, and supported the work surfaces. Since those extensions were part of the frame, the grill could be safely moved by lifting on those extensions. By contrast, the work surfaces on the E435 are sheet metal stainless steel formed into a box shape with a plastic end cap, which is attached to the frame with four bolts. There's definitely some flex if the grill is lifted by those shelves, and I'd say that should be avoided. However, this is a far heavier grill than the old model, and I miss the sturdiness of the old design. Finally, at least one review I read pre-purchase mentioned the rubber cushions attached to lid that contact the burner box had fallen out right away. When I unboxed by unit, one was loose in the box, and the "cone" on the top of cushion was torn off, the other was nowhere to be found. Since all the other hardware and small pieces were packaged in individual sealed bags, I didn't think much of it until it was fully assembled, and there were no cushions included with those parts. It appears that the lid is shipped with the bumpers installed, and they fell out in shipment. There was only one loose in the shipping carton; I have no idea what happened to the other. It may have fallen off before shipment, or fell out between the flaps of the box. There was also a small gash in the box which may have been due to shipping. Whatever caused it, it did not damage the contents, but I may have been an exit point for the cushion. Since the cushions were apparently a poor fit and fell out in shipment, I saw little point in contacting Weber for replacements. There is a bit of a clunk if the lid is closed without due care, but since my older grill never had those cushions, I don't miss them. However, the issue does mar what is in most respects a fairly good product.

Love all the new features on this grill the Wok grill is great and the folding top rack is another great addition from my old Weber.

Well worth the wait. I ordered in March, but waited about 3 months before it was ready to ship. I was dangerously close to picking another model when all of sudden I had a delivery date 3 days away. Pretty simple instructions on assembly but it takes a while if you do it by yourself. 75% of the way in someone showed up to help and the back half went a little smoother. All in all though, this is an amazing grill. I can't wait to continue using it. And it looks phenomenal at night!!!
