Community Reviews
This Weber griddle insert turns an existing Genesis or Spirit grill into a flat-top for eggs, pancakes, bacon, smash burgers, vegetables, and other small or liquid foods that would fall through grates. It is also praised for solid build quality, good seasoning, and frequent use, with some noting it can fit family-sized cooking and is easier to swap back to normal grilling than a separate griddle. The main drawbacks are cleanup, storage, and the need to cool and season it after use. Fit is limited to newer Genesis models, and cheaper alternatives are available.
The insert can add useful griddle space to a Genesis grill when deck or patio space limits a standalone griddle.
The griddle insert can stay seasoned and hold up well with regular use.
A flat griddle surface lets you cook liquids and small items that would fall through grill grates.
The Genesis grease drain setup can help manage flare-ups when grease is pushed carefully toward the bottom tray area.
Cleanup can be messier than expected and may require more maintenance than a dedicated grease port setup.
The insert only fits 2016-forward 3-burner Genesis models and does not fit older 2011 S-330 Series 1 grills.
Storage and handling can be difficult because the griddle must cool, be cleaned and seasoned, and then be moved indoors.
Using the griddle can be inconvenient for some setups because the lid may not close fully when using two griddle pans.

I tried a topper, but it just felt too cramped so I ended up buying a full size 4 burner griddle that sits next to my S-330. I also didn't like having to clean the grease channel of the topper (kind of a hassle compared to a grease port and container of my dedicated griddle. Nice concept though if you don't want to bother with two units or don't have the room.

I got a cheap knock off once and it started to peel after a few months. I ended up getting a Weber brand and I've had no issues, and I use it a few times a week.
