My family purchased this grill for me 5 years ago.  It is always cleaned and covered.  We use this grill 2 to 3 times a week and through the winter months.  It was purchased to replace and older Weber that was beyond its time.  I was disappointed  to find that after 5 years the cabinet is rusting out, the stainless is rust stained, the control knobs and panel have lost their markings, and the control valve to turn the burners on and off is sticking.  I am very disappointed in the overall finish and quality of this "Top of the Line Weber".  I have owned Weber grills and products all of my life and never experienced this quality from a Weber product.  For the price and Stainless finish it should out last any other Weber product I have owned.
