Genesis S-435

The Genesis S-435 is Weber's premium all-stainless-steel 4-burner Genesis gas grill with a side burner and 646 sq in primary cooking area.

$1,749Approx. MSRP

A capable 4-burner grill for a household that entertains regularly, but go in expecting the door magnets and heat retention to be less premium than the price suggests.

Pros

  • Even heat distribution across all 4 burners
  • Generally easy assembly
  • Strong searing power for steaks
  • Loads of cooking room — 994 sq in feeds a crowd
  • Dedicated sear burner for a proper steak crust

Watch-outs

  • Heat retention with lid open is weaker than some rivals at this price
  • Door latch/magnet reliability complaints
  • Perceived drop in material quality versus older Genesis grills
  • Heavy (220 lb) — pick its spot and leave it

Known niggles

  • Some owners report the grill loses heat dramatically when the lid is lifted, more than expected for the price point
  • Door/cabinet magnets have failed to keep doors closed, with the door popping open as the grill heats up
  • A minority of owners describe build quality as feeling flimsier than earlier Genesis generations
