Pros
- America's Test Kitchen's winner and CNET's best overall gas grill — two hands-on tests, two different benches
- A Sear Zone from two Boost Burners on a three-burner grill, where the two-burner E-210 has none
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com on this listing, so returns run through Amazon and not a marketplace seller
- Ten years on the cookbox, lid and burner tubes against rust-through and burn-through, in Weber's own table
Cons
- The ten years is three parts. Grates and Flavorizer bars get five, and 'all remaining parts' — the igniter, regulator, cart and knobs — get two
- The cabinet has a front door and no back panel: an owner's dogs nose into the drip tray from behind
- Critical cards describe missing or bent parts, a missing grease rail Weber's chat would not ship, and a regulator on back-order six weeks after purchase
- Serious Eats thought it 'performed similarly to the E-310' despite the sear zone and the higher price
Parts and service, not cooking. A paid assembly could not be finished because parts were defective (March 2026); a grease rail missing from the box that Weber's chat would not send as a warranty part (July 2026); a box with no hardware at all, where Weber told the Amazon buyer to pay for the screws (July 2026); a regulator hose that leaked, and its replacement leaked worse (November 2025); a grill that had not worked in six weeks with its replacement regulator still on order (September 2026); dented panels and out-of-sequence instructions. One owner coming from a Weber Q says it needs 'significantly more propane', and one wishes the back were closed.
