Finally replaced our 12 to 14 year old Weber kettle. It still worked but over the years had survived two teenage boys (using for fire pits, knocking over while rough housing, etc.) So it was a bit less than stellar. Still cooked well! Bought this model as the fold down shelf makes storage easier than the full shelf of the next model. This grill rocks! Literally, no complaints. Fully expect to get 15 years out of this one. 
Just FYI, also own a 4 burner Summit. While it is a wonderful grill we hardly ever use it. Kettle / charcoal is our game plan for everything!
