I replaced my 20 year old Weber Genesis Silver with this natural gas E-325s grill. It is way too early to comment and score this model for longevity! I can say that I was drawn back to Weber because of my past experience with the brand. It Definitely does not seem to be of the same high quality material as my 20 year old one, but then what product today is of the same quality of 20 years ago? I like the styling and appearance, the warming rack that can be completely moved out of the when not needed, and the battery charged ignition system rather than the crossover ignition. The sear feature is a really nice touch and works well. It also has an improved grease capture tray design that I like. Overall, I believe this is a great quality product, but will update my review as any issues arise. It has a larger shelf on the right side which requires a special size cover to cover it well. (Weber sells the correct cover for this grill: Weber # 7757 Genesis Grill Cover).
