Awesome grill but cooking grates sucks!
First time weber grill user - amazing grill but dont like the cooking grates as meat sticks way to much. Even after applying the oil.

Response from Consumer CareMay 29, 2022
Congratulations on your new Genesis II S-435 grill! Welcome to the Weber family! We are so sorry to hear your food is sticking to the grates. We are happy to help. We have the following recommendations: 1. You can oil the food directly, but we do not recommend applying any kind of oil directly to the grates. You can use our Weber Grill Spray, as that is not oil-based. 2. Make sure you're giving your food enough time per side. Food will naturally start to rise off the grates when close to flipping time. 3. If using a marinade, try to get as much excess liquid off as possible before placing the food on the grill. 4. If using a sauce of any kind, wait until the last 5 minutes or so to apply. 5. 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. Our Support team is reaching out to follow up. Thank you!

Weber Genesi II S-435
This is an expensive grill that works great when you can get it to light. Infighter switch on mine does not light one of the burners. Customer service was nice enough to provide me with a replacement wire but it is still not working.

Love this BBQ
Great BBQ. I just ordered the rotisserie and rib rack to go with it for summer cooking. So far it has cooked steak and hamburger with no issues.

S-435 NG for the win!
I’m new at grilling and bought the S-435 with the thought of entertaining in the future. Since Covid has prevented me to be able to entertain so far, the meals I have prepared for my family on this grill have been amazing. The assembly was very easy, although the box was very heavy (I needed to open it and move individual parts to the assembly location). I was able to assemble the entire grill by myself, but it’s probably better for 2 people to do it. Igniting the burners are very easy. Throwing all burners on high, including the seer burner, with the lid closed will get the grill up to 500 degrees in about 5 minutes. I’ve been able to use the side burner to cook bacon, thus eliminating grease cleanup on my stove in my house. Cleaning seems to be easy. A lesson I learned the hard way: when replacing the grease pan, make sure the shelf if fully pushed back into place before grilling again or else drippings will get on the shelf and require cleaning (accomplished with a sponge and soap water). This grill has created a new interest in cooking for me.

Quality worth the price
Grilling done right. Simple, consistent,perfect. The service you get with the Weber is excellent. Very happy with the outcome of a minor warranty claim. Some people say you don't need to spend a lot of money on a gas grill. I think you get what you pay for here.

Perfect steaks every time
This grill is perfect for my needs. The searing station helps me grill my steaks to perfection. Consistent grilling temps means I’m not guessing how long to grill my food. I had considered the model up in class with the IR burner and rotisserie. But decided I would not use it enough. Natural gas means I’m never left short on fuel in the middle of cooking. Very happy.

Not as good as prior models.
The grates have wider spacing (3/4 inch) than the prior Summit Gold model (5/8 inch) that allow food to fall through when flipping thinly sliced vegetables like squash or zucchini. Also, the preheat of the cavity does not match the heat of the the surface grates. The surface grates take much longer to come up to temperature than the thermometer indicates. We were much more satisfied with prior Summit Gold and Summit Platinum grills that we owned for over 10 years.

Weber Genesis II S435 “Rolls-Royce” of Grills
We love our Weber Genesis II, S435, natural gas grill. My two sons and I have grilled dinner on it everyday since it was delivered. It was definitely worth the wait (due to pandemic the wait was longer than usual). Our previous natural gas grill was built-in to the patio when we purchased our home, and it never got sufficiently hot enough for searing. That was my concern with going with natural gas. Well, it has not been an issue at all. Our Weber heats up very quickly, and we love the searing station. I let my son talk me into the 4 burner & was regretting it after placing my order (due to the cost), thinking for us 3 it was a waste. I am so glad we got the 4 burner. We enjoy grilling our asparagus and other veggies and this grill gives us the room to do so. Love it! As my younger son says it is the “Rolls-Royce” of the grills out there.

Upgrade from our last Weber
We retired our Genesis Silver B after 16 years of heavy use. I held up very well. We thought about replacing it with the 6-burner Summit, and then we saw this new Genesis II model for less than half the cost. It is a great value and everything is solid. It heats up fast and evenly. Plenty of grill space for our two large families. Love it.

Best of the best grill
Best grill I have ever used and probably will ever use. Easy to start, insanely fast pre-heat, perfect and even temperatures, great design, solid durability, and most important of all - delicious food! If you can afford this grill, would highly recommend. If you can’t, then save up and get one!

Good grill
Good grill, overall manufactured well. Sear burner was quite the let down. Also, the grates in this are thinner than the grates in the 300; these still use the old style which is disappointing.

I’m so glad I purchased my new grill!
I replaced a Genesis 320 propane grill that was at least 9 years on it. There was nothing wrong with the grill except I had a natural gas hookup that I wasn’t using and using the tanks along with the amount of cooking I did , every night wasn’t pactical. So I went with the SS 430 which was larger and hotter and natural gas. I’m so glad I did this the dear feature is great the grill gets hotter and with the large size I can cook more. It’s great I’m looking forward to another 11 years with this grill I love it. BTW I looked at the Summit but it was too large and costly for my needs this was perfect . Great Value!

My first Texas Brisket!
My wife gave me the grill for Christmas, and I immediately rotisserie’d a prime rib which was amazing so I set me sights higher a few days latter. I have been talking about trying to cook a Texas style brisket so I also purchased the smoker box. After 15 hours of cooking and discovering what a amazing grill it was I cooked a 14 lb. brisket. The grill is out right amazing it is so easy to regulate heat and cooks evenly, it is even a breeze to clean. We have already started talking about our next adventure, smoked salmon on cedar plank. I downloaded the app and it has some amazing recipes, can’t wait to give them a try.

Great purchase
I bought the grill in November and have used it 4 or 5 times since getting the natural gas plumbed to it. I’m extremely pleased with the grill so far. Assembly instructions were very good and the grill went together effortlessly. Anyone with minimal DIY skills should be able to assemble this grill in a few hours. It took a couple tries to get used to the searing center but i’m Nothing but pleased so far.

It's a Weber or nothing.
My first Weber grill I purchased 20 years ago and it's still cooking. I entertain a lot and needed more grilling space which is why I decided on the 435 Genesis in stainless. This model, I chose natural gas and I love it. Keep in mind, the grill comes with a 10' gas line 1/2" hose with a quick connect, so you will need to purchase a 1/2" male to make connection plus a shut valve and quick connect coming from your house if that's what you have at your home, so plan on a ride to the store. Once you are ready to fire this bad boy up, look out! With all (5) burners on high, this grill will quickly get up to 750 degrees and your flavorizer bars will glow orange!!!! Be careful. Another note, this grill weighs 202 lbs. My first grill arrived damaged but quickly was replaced with a backup shipment a few days later. Someone must sign for it as it will be delivered by truck freight. Setup assembly took 2 hours with two guys. You will need help picking up the body of this massive beast of a grill. Another difference with the new Weber is each heating control must be turned on individually and depressing the start button...and yes, it runs on a battery. The optional iGrill technology is cool which let's you probe 4 pieces of meat and watch the temperature via smart phone. No more over or under cooked food for non-professional backyard cooks. This 435 Genesis also has a side burner for 8", maybe 10" frying pan or pot. With many other accessories available, you can really be the star of your neighborhood. For me, it's a Weber or nothing. They stand by their product and with a 10-year warranty, if anything does happen, your covered. So stop shopping around and the the Weber of your dreams on order today.

Excellent grill, does take time to put together
Nice grill, takes a while to put together; the Bluetooth thermometer isn't included, so you'll have to buy it (and a large cover) separately.

Solid
The only reason this review has 4 stars is because I’ve only had it a month. I chose this grill because of 2 main reasons. The first, I’m a firefighter and we have the 3 burner version of this grill at work and I absolutely love grilling on it and know it’s a very solid grill. The second is the availability of parts and accessories. So far this grill does not disappoint. It has an enormous cooking surface. I can have multiple things going at once with no crowding and can control the heat pretty well. I’m still learning the subtle nuances to a new grill but it’s a short learning curve. The searing burner is definitely a nice feature, especially if you like grilling steaks. I’m looking forward to trying some different cuts of meat. My wife got me the igrill system for Father’s Day and that is pretty darn nice as well. All your heat and temp information is right at your fingertips along with timers and alerts. My one complaint is the assembly instructions. Although they are not terrible, they are not the greatest. It’s just picture instructions. I looked them over and took my time assembling. I’d say it took a solid hour and a half. One more thing to touch on is how well the grill came packaged. It was safe and sound in the box when I opened it up .

Solid Construction and Amazing Performance
I purchased this as part of our outside kitchen. There was never even the slightest consideration of anything but a Weber. This grill is very sturdy and solid and performs exceptionally well. I especially love the sear station. I’m definitely a Weber man.

Fast rsolution to missing part problem
I have the weber s435 natural gas model. Was missing the quick decoupler without which it couldn't be connected. I visited webers website and asked for exact details of what i should be ordering. Within 24 hours i received an email that my request was approved?? And a day or two later, an email stating that the part was shipped!!! This was an amazing response to my request and i am a very happy weber customer. Weber really helped me out in this situation. I have been using weber grills for a few years and from their excellent response, I'm going to continue using their products.

Easy Assembly
We had bought a quality BBQ, that had lasted 20 years and that company was no longer in business. We knew Weber built a quality product because our condo in Florida had one, it was the only brand that could tolerate beach salt. It lasted. We also found with a great deal of use from multiple persons it heated up consistently and parts lasted. Assembly was easy, the instructions were the clearest I have ever used. We have the large model and I only needed a second set of hands to install the hood. If you have an old gas fitting you may have to have the house attachment upgraded to a new size. Only the end. Highly recommend it to others.

Great grill has room to improve
Have used it for a month and a few things that would make this grill even better. 1) Larger side table space, the space is quite limited needs to be wider. People have a lot of things that need to be kept on the side when grilling and when you use the Webber Smart Thermometer, your real estate space just gets lost. In addition, there are many foods where you would need a regular thermometer and there's no catch space or indented space like other grills for holding smaller things. 2) For such a large grill, they should have another 2 burners with a total of 7. It loses a lot of heat when you open the cover and the recovery isn't smooth especially if you want to keep it on low. 3) They should be a way to use ceramic briquettes while maintaining the drip space and flame up space. Again this is to prevent the heat loss when you want to grill on low. 4) The gap between the drip tray and the collector needs to be shortened since when you clean the barbecue you will also need to clean the shelf holding the drip pan, as the burnt food scrapping scatters and you want to avoid critters. 5) When using the Webber Smart Thermometer, the channel used for the rotisserie is used for the wires, there should be another or better way for those cables to be managed, and integrated. 6) Side Burner, is good but needs to have more space to fit wider pans to accommodate various options and cooking cultures. Overall it's good. Not the dream grill, but it's good. What was really impressive was the construction materials and parts on this particular model. They did pay attention to the details and quality and was impressed overall with the ease of setup and choice of parts, galvanized, non-iron, coated screws, etc. Not sure about some of the plastic push options but time will tell based on Canadian winters.
