In store prices:
Weber Genesis II S-435 Gas Grill $999 @In-Store Price after $200 discount
Weber Genesis II E335 Gas Grill $699 @In-Store Price after $100 discount
Purchased an E335 last weekend, was $799 in store.
Assembly wasn't too bad but removing and reinstalling the lid absolutely sucked definitely need 2 people to do that. Besides that there were a couple of non visible spots with no/flaking powder coating. I sprayed them with some high temp enamel paint just to make sure it wouldn't rust over time.
Initial impression is that it's very good quality, but time will tell. I also like having the tank externally accessible, super easy to install and remove, but it doesn't look the prettiest.
My local Costco had the 3 burner in store at 699 last weekend. I have a 3 burner one generation older I got on CL for a steal and refurbished myself.
Miles above the $300 grills in my past, widely available parts, and the stainless grates are a godsend. I'm a Genesis convert. Money well spent.
These are much cheaper over time even at these prices. It'll easily last more than 3x as long as $300 grills with an occasional cleaning and a couple of parts replacements at worst.
I converted mine to NG. All you need is new orifices and regulator, plus fittings and pipe. I got everything needed in a kit for about 100 bucks a couple of years ago I guess. You will definitely void your warranty doing the conversion. I have a feeling that the grill does not get as hot as propane but still worth the convenience.

If you examine a Genesis II vs. those 'newer' models, it's quite obvious the newer models are inferior.
BTW, I think this deal expires on Sunday, May 26... according to Costco magazine promo.

What parts are needed? I thought new burners and regulators are required?
Thanks
That's any easy conversion though.
Thanks
