This grill is a BEAST! My last Genesis finally gave up after 30 (yes, thirty!) years and I looked no further. I bought this grill with the hope that it lasts half as long as my last one. So far, it hasn't disappointed. I bought the Weber Crafted Griddle as an add-on and being able to have equal size grilling and flattop areas to cook is wonderful! It is taking my outdoor cooking to the next level! I recommend getting a cover. The storage area under the grill is open to the elements so when it rains, it gets wet.
