Pros
- Serious Eats: 'this model knocked it out of the park, with some of the highest scores we collected for heat regulation'
- Good Housekeeping's best stand-up: 'the grill reached 600˚F in less than 10 minutes, according to the built-in thermometer'
- 320 square inches — the most grate on any stand-up here — on a cart that folds and rolls
- Sold and shipped by Amazon.com, with Weber's five-year cookbox and lid term
Cons
- The owner record is the catch: a thin Amazon base with 26 percent one-star ratings, and a tail of a regulator that failed twice, a fold mechanism that broke after one use and legs rusting in salt air
- Heat loss runs through the tests too: Serious Eats says the surface 'tends to lose heat quickly' with one or two pieces on it, and Food & Wine 'had serious issues with temperature control'
- One burner and one control for a 320-square-inch grate, so there are no heat zones
- Burner tube and grates get three years, the regulator and igniter two — the parts the tail is about
Parts that fail and a build below Weber's name. A regulator that failed at two years, was replaced under warranty, failed again and was refused (September 2026); a lift mechanism that 'broke already' on a new grill (April 2026); legs rusting in a saltwater environment, a push-button igniter that did not work and no hose in the box (August 2026); one temperature control for a large grill and a grill that looked worn after two uses (May 2026); a two-year-old grill that took an hour to get running (May 2026); and an order from Acme Tools that never shipped (July 2026).
