I could have gotten many more buzzers, bells and whistles for the same money or even less, but I have put up with cheap grills for too long. Between replacing parts every year, fighting fires every time I grilled and dealing with uneven heat, I finally had enough and splurged on a good grill.
I could tell while I was assembling it that it was 10 times sturdier than my old Char-broil. The first time I cooked Chicken on it, I did it exactly the way the cooking guide that came with it said. Six minutes each side on medium direct heat. I never even checked on it, I just put them on flipped them after 6 min. Then 6 min later checked the temp, and they were perfect. My old grill they would have been charcoal on one side and raw on the other.
I did get the porcelain coated cast iron grates. I would definitely recommend that upgrade. They came with the grill at Home Depot for the same price as the cheap ones that came from Wal-Mart. Be sure to make sure you are getting the good grates before purchasing.
Like I said this is a basic grill, no side burner, or infra red heat. But I hardly ever used the side burner on my last grill; I think I can sacrifice extras for a good basic grill. I love it.
I got the cover through Amazon for $10-$20 less than anywhere else. It is a Weber brand cover and it too is 10 times tougher than any cover I have had before

I bought this Weber grill to replace my old Ducane which developed a gas leak. That grill was supposed to be the last grill I would ever have to buy. HA! They don’t support their lifetime parts guarantee because they went out of business even though Weber now owns them. It only lasted about 12 years and never got as hot as my new Weber.
I just love the new grill. It warms up in about 5 minutes and it’s ready to go. Like the other reviews say, it does get hot, stay hot and cook evenly. This is with the outdoor temperatures in the 30′s. Now my foods have “sear” marks and are not over-cooked. My steaks and burgers are juicy. So far I am very satisfied.
Buying it through Amazon was a delightful experience. It was delivered as promised without a hitch. There was one minor problem with the supplied parts. The electric start cap button was missing. With a quick call to Weber, the cap was shipped out right away. Not a big problem because I could light the grill manually.
I am pleased with the grill and Amazon.

…and this grill certainly delivers!
The grill was delivered free through Ceva, they called to set up a drop off time and were right on, very professional.
Putting the grill together was enjoyable, the illustrated instructions made it very easy. The finished product is very well put together, for Weber’s entry line. Some of the finishes and touches you would find on the higher end models are missing here, but the grill delivers just like the big guys.
The burners come to life instantly and deliver a good consistent and even heat. The electric ignition is a very nice touch, but make sure to inspect it occasionally because overtime moister can get in there.
I bought this grill after doing over a month of research, visiting home improvement stores and talking to grill owners. I found that this is the best bang for your buck. I have talked to multiple people who have had their Weber since the 90′s and have had nothing but good things to say about them. I would highly encourage anyone looking for an entry level grill to seriously consider this grill, after all, by the time you add up how much you would spend on multiple grills to match the longevity of this grill, you would have spent way more then what the Weber costs.
Happy grillin!

This grill does need to be assembled but contrary to what the instructions said I was able to do this myself. There is one step where you need to lift a large piece into place. It would be helpful to use 2 people but I was too impatient and carefully did it myself.
The grill is very easy to start up. The castors are smooth and do keep it in one place when locked down. The aluminum side surfaces do heat up a little during grilling but not so hot that you would burn yourself. The sides have handy hooks for your tools to hang from.
I have been using the grill almost everyday since I put it together. It really makes is so much easier to cook dinner (and lunch too). The clean-up is a piece of cake! No pots or pans to wash, just a spatula! The surface I clean with the recommended brass bristle brush after it has been heated up for the next meal to be cooked.

Got tired of buying inexpensive grills that only lasted a few years. My wife had owned a Weber grill years ago and she thought that they were the “best”. She could give a lecture on the pluses that they have.
Since there are only two of us, I found that this was the Weber for us. Not too expensive and small enough to be able to move around.
Amazon shipped it thru CEVA, and they called and delivered it on the time agreed upon. Very professional service.
OK-now for the review of the grill.
Was impressed by the way it was packed. Lots of reinforced cardboard, all the parts were tightly wrapped, and great care was apparent in the effort to prevent scratching or rubbing of parts.
HOWEVER, putting it together was a real pain. It took me about two hours, (by myself). But what I really didn’t like was the assembly instructions. THERE WERE NO WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. The entire assembly instruction sheet was a series of photos. Found it very tiring. Maybe I’m just getting old, but I like the “put section A together with 1 inch bolts etc). I was beginning to wonder if Weber made these instructions for people that can’t read.
I was impressed with the way the parts fit together. Nothing sloppy and all of the holes lined up. Everything seemed to be of exceptional quality. Heavy lid and box.
Fired it up after assembly and it hit 600 degrees in about 5 minutes. Perfect blue flame in all burners, and although the top got extremely hot, the side trays remained cool. Nice and even heat all throughout the box, with sensitive flame adjustment throughout the entire range of the individual knobs.
I liked the idea of being able to buy various parts for replacement. The warranty is a generous one, and seems to be an indication of the quality of their product. Although this grill is a little pricey, it should last years with proper cleaning and maint. Did I mention what a great price it was?
Good buy.

I purchased this grill after a lot of research and the mistake of not buying a weber grill several years ago.
Only used a few times so far but I am perfectly satisfied.
Wanted to disagree with a few of the posters on the assembly. I am a tool guy and consider myself a bit better than an amatuer mechanic, but this grill was a snap to put together.
There is one step (lifting the grill chamber into position) that is a two person must. Other than that, it took me about one hour (with a 4 yr old “helper”) to assemble this grill, and there were no issues. I did not use the enclosed “tools” that came with the grill as I used my own socket set, but I see no reason why they would not have worked, just a tad slower on tightening bolts.
I did not find the pictures directions hard to follow, in fact I found them a bit easier than some of the descriptive text instructions I have followed in the past.
Buy this grill (especially with free ship from amazon) and you will not be dissappointed

I bought this grill based on the reviews here and from friends recommendations about the Weber brand. This is my very first grill I’ve ever owned personally…and oh my gosh, I’m in heaven! (and so is my wife!)
From the moment it showed up (Amazon, you guy’s ship stuff awesome! Even the Cevia delivery guy was cool!) I was thrilled.
Build Quality:
While it does take a while to put together, I was extremely impressed with the build quality throughout. Stainless steel fittings, oversize bolts, well built panels, even the doors are double-lined metal!
It came with everything I needed to get set up and went together without a hitch. Even the kids were impressed with it!
Ease Of Use:
My gosh, if grilling is this easy, I should’ve gotten into it years ago!
Just turn on the gas, turn on the burners, light, walk away for a while, come back & throw the food on and cook away!
Instead of feeling like you’re cooking over a flame with a bunch of hot spots, it feels a lot like cooking on a gas range. The heat is incredibly even and flare ups are really rare. The taste it gives food is nothing short of miraculous!
Incredible Taste!
This probably isn’t unique to this grill, but the taste that this thing infuses into food is nothing short of amazing! We’ve found ourselves grilling all sorts of things (veggies, pork, chicken, burgers, hot dogs, steak, etc) because of how incredible the taste is!
Really Quiet!
One thing that really struck me about this grill was how quiet it is when it’s running. While this is my first grill I’ve personally owned, I’ve grown up with BBQ’s my whole life & cooked on several others and I’ve NEVER seen a grill this quiet when it’s going.
I don’t know what kind of magic Weber has done, but it’s practically silent when it’s running. Not that normal gas sounding “Whoosh! SHHHHHHHHHHHHhhh” that you normally hear when you fire up other grills. I have to look down into it to see that the fires going just to be sure because it’s so quiet! I love it!
Heats Up Fast!
Everything I’ve read say’s these things heat up really fast. Well, I’m here to say that they’re dead on. Within 5 minutes of firing it up, it’s up to 600 deg. F and ready to cook on! Talk about fast grilling!
We’ve had the grill now for a couple months and are using it multiple times a week. My wife actually prefers to cook on it vs our stove inside the house now! Looks like I’ll be stocking up on propane.
I Love The Flavorizer Bars!
Those flavorizer bars have got to be the coolest thing on that grill! I’d read where it keeps the flare ups from happening and that they help season the food too. Yep! It’s all true! We had some really oily London Broils that we’d marinated the other day that we threw on the grill & I was curious to see how they’d do (they were literally DRIPPING with oil).
They fired up a little, but the flames quickly subsided and never got really high. So, being curious, I dumped a bunch of the marinade on them just to see how well the grill would do at “flaming up”. I can report that it did an awesome job! Yep! It’d flame alright, but it never got out of control and the flames subsided very quickly and were well under control.
I’ve also noticed that as the grease drips down onto the flavorizer bars it really does “sizzle” and smoke like they say and it gives the food a really nice flavor. I guess because it smokes the grease instead of burning it, you get a much better flavor in the meats.
I was impressed!
Versatile:
We probably have a unique use for this thing…once we got it up & running we decided to open a brand new dutch oven that we’d had for a couple years. Part of getting a dutch oven includes “seasoning” it.
I’m proud to announce that not only is my Weber Grill great at cooking food, it seasoned that dutch oven incredibly well!
We’re finding new uses for it now all the time and absolutely love the thing!
Weber, you’ve got a fan in me!

This is a great Grill, Amazon shipped it for free using CEVA, arrived ontime and undammaged. It took about an hour to put the grill together which wasn’t too bad. This is absolutely the best grill I’ve owned yet and grills very evenly. This was my first Weber Grill and should last a long time if taken care of.

I’m very pleased with the grill, although admittedly I’ve only used it for a month. It heats quickly and evenly, and has plenty of cooking area – we like to grill veggies along with the meat. Construction is sturdy. I wish the burners were on the front of the grill to allow more shelf space on the side, but that’s a minor issue. My grill arrived with the two front doors crushed, and I had to call Weber/Stephens for replacement. They were extremely helpful and promised an overnight shipping, however the doors are back-ordered and have not yet been shipped to me.

This is a great grill. Setup took about two hours, the directions are pretty easy to read – I did put one piece on backwards and I had to reverse it a few steps later. Once the grill was assembled it has been a joy to cook with. I highly recommend this grill!
