Weber Spirit E-325 Liquid Propane Gas Grill for Outdoor Cooking and BBQ, 3 Bo...

I chose this grill over similar priced products from Monument and Charbroil. And I am glad I did. There were several factors that led to my decision.1. Performancea. There is much less variation in temperature across the grill at all temperature levels – you are not battling hot spots.b. The grill can cook at a significantly lower temperaturec. The sear zone occupies half the grill. And you can use that area for normal grilling when not searing.2. Clean-upa. The grill has a pull-out drip pan which speeds up the process significantly3. This is the only one that will likely last past 10 years. And it is also the only one where all the major parts of warrantied for a decade.a. The Monument grills have very thin metal. You can flex the metal on the top of the grill with a single finger.4. The grill size fits my needs.I opted to assemble the grill myself. It was remarkably easy to do. I cannot recall ever having an easier time assembling something. This is a credit to the folks at Weber who did a fantastic job illustrating the steps and bundling the fasteners. You can tell they though this process through and tested it.It took me about 20 minutes to unpackage everything (which I did first). The packaging itself was excellent. It did an awesome job protecting the grill while still being both compact and efficient. It is really easy to breakdown the boxing materials for recycling. Cleanup from unboxing and assembly was maybe 10 minutes.It took me about 1 hour to assemble the grill. I assemble the stand on my kitchen table and the rest of it on the floor beside the table. If I had a better work area available, I might have been able to do it a little faster. I found that I only needed a Philips head screwdriver for everything expect 4th bolt for each side table – for that I needed the included Allen wrench.The first thing I cooked was a set of ribeye’s. I used the sear zone to create the crosshatch pattern and finished the steaks at medium heat. It took roughly 8 minutes total to get the 1.5-inch steaks to about 130 degrees (I have a meat thermometer). They came out perfect. This was easy. But what made it easy was that the grill was predictable at every point.You can spend more and get better grills with more features, but at the $499 price, this is about as good as one could hope for. Everything about this experience worked as smoothly as it could. This is five GOLD stars.There were a few other things I acquired to support my new grill that are worth your consideration.• A grill light. It was dark out when I grilled and having a light shine directly on the grill made everything easy to see.• Weber Grill tools. These tools are well designed and have the correct hooks to work effectively with the tool hooks on the grill.• Grill gloves with extra-long mitts.o They are really helpful when cleaning the grill plates or reaching towards the back of the grillo It is kind of like a luxury-safety purchase. I never used them before, but I sure feel safer having some added protection for tasks where I need to reach over the flame.A few additional thoughts and comments• The sear zone works very well. If you set all the burners to high and close the lid, the grill will heat up to almost 600 degrees. When you enable the sear zone on the two burners (and close the lid), the overall temperature on the gauge goes to about 800 degrees (the zone itself is probably a little hotter because only 2 of the 3 burners are used for the zone).o This is really helpful for steaks and chops where a good sear is beneficial. If you do not cook these types of things often, you can save some money by purchasing the next model down without the sear zone.• This is new 2025 model (updated design). Not everything from prior 300 series will work with this grill. It is possible that Weber could expand its accessories and options for this model in the future.• The wheels are made of plastic. They work fine.o If you think you will need to move this grill a lot or on different terrains, you may need to consider a different grill or possibility an alternative wheel set (I am not sure if anyone makes alternative wheels yet for the 2025 model line).• You may need a bigger sized grill if you plan to cook for a lot of people.• If you read the reviews for Weber grills, you will notice a lot of people commenting about how this model is not as robust as the models of 10 and 20 years ago.o The older models have more metal parts (less plastic) and use thicker metal, but it is worth noting that they were also more expensive when inflation is considered.o The fact that this grill cooks rather evenly suggests that the cook box is the appropriate thickness. Making a grill thicker than it needs to be does not necessarily improve performance or durability. If the grill is too thin, it will perform poorlyo Larger grills and hotter grills benefit from more thickness (to help them cook evenly).

I wish this was about 4 inches wider for the price. However, it cooks evenly with the lid down and works great. The quality is amazing! Solid grill.

Have not used this grill yet but it does have "more beef on the bones" that other brands I have had. It appears it will easily last for its 10 year warranty. Components like grates, enclosure, knobs feel very solid. Only negative, for me, is I would rather it have 4 castors vs the 2 plastic wheelsAssembly took about 2 hours and instructions were easy to follow. Price was better than the big box store. I also purchased the Weber drop in gridle which will make it more versatile, Can now do smash burgers, eggs, bacon & hash brownsBought a non Weber cover which fits perfect with side trays folded

Heats up fast, and just the right size for a couple. Great quality.Only complaint is tge front panel was dented during shipping, but easy to fix.

Excellent, smaller grill… perfect for a couple or small family, and small gatherings. I’ve been eyeing this grill and when a Father’s Day promotion came along, I jumped on it because it made the grill such a great value. I have owned a number of Weber grills over the years and they are all durable, well built, and easy to get replacement parts. Generally, I get 10 + years of service from Weber grills. This grill is a replacement for another brand that only lasted about five years. Assembly took just over an hour and I needed help at one stage, but it was pretty straightforward and the instructions were clear.The sear zone is a nice addition to the grill enabling you to get higher heat and a good sear on steaks and burgers. It is an attractive grill with two shelves for utensils, etc., and a cabinet for the tank.

Easy assembly with decent instructions and no missing parts. (Extra parts included)Heats quickly and evenly. The seer feature is a good addition.

Terrible experience on the part of both Amazon and Weber. First, the grill was ordered April 30 with a delivery date of May 1. Did not receive it until late on May 6, 5 days late, typical FedEx.Opened the box and started assembling. Although there was no obvious external damage to the box, several parts were bent and dented. It appears to me that they were packed in that condition.Went to Amazon for support and they said they can't help, I have to go to the manufacturer and sent me to an online form. I called Weber's 800 number and they agreed to replace the parts, but they won't arrive for at least a week, maybe longer. I have to have the grill for renters who are coming in about 4 days. So, I guess I'll go to Home Depot and pick one up and see if I can return this one to Amazon, or sell it on Craig's list.

Nice grill good price fast free shipping

el mejor asador sin carbón distribuye de manera excelente el calor y tiene 3 mandos para controlar por zonas

Wow

Demasiado complicado y pesado para armarlo por una sola persona. Lo dejé almacenado para terminar de armarlo cuando tenga a alguien quien me ayude.

This is our second Weber, and the last one lasted us about 15 years, so that alone made the decision easy to stick with Weber again.One of the biggest reasons is their warranty and support. Over the years, anytime we had minor issues (igniter, heat shields, small wear parts), Weber customer service was great.A quick call and they sent replacement parts without any hassle. Realistically, we only needed to replace or service something every few years, and that was with regular use.If you take care of it, clean it annually, keep it covered, and maintain it properly, these things are pretty much bulletproof.Performance-wise, it heats evenly and gives you good control across the grill thanks to the burner setup and heat distribution. Makes cooking easy whether you’re doing a quick dinner or something more involved.Size-wise, it’s perfect for a family of 4–5, but you can easily cook for 6+ when needed. Great for regular use and still capable when you’ve got people over.If you want a BBQ that’s going to last and actually be supported long-term, Weber is tough to beat.

After going with cheaper grills which fell apart after a few years we spent a bit more and bought this Weber last year. We use it very often rear round and it stands up to constant use. Temperature is consistently even over full surface area. It is not large but can fit 9 buger patties. Good buy.
