I expected a lot and I got it.  Easy to use.  Great looks.  Works perfectly.  And, most importantly, great tasting food.  I opted for the natural gas, which has been great.  I enjoyed cooking for several decades on a Weber charcoal grill (well, several of them over the years).  The food was great, but working with the charcoal finally shifted from "special" to "hassle" - especially when it rains.  The Genesis II S-335 NG has been a wonderful successor to my Weber One-Touch Platinum charcoal grill.
