I have had a Genesis grill for about 15 years and decided to update to this new model because I liked the updates. The delivery was not as quick as I had hoped, but not too terribly bad either. The grill arrived in perfect condition, strapped to a wooden crate. Assembly wasn't bad at all. The parts aligned nicely. My first grill were steaks, using the new sear addition. All I can say is WOW. This thing out performs my old grill by a long shot. Searing Tuna was perfect. This thing get hot, really hot. I am looking forward to many, many great grilling sessions.
