My Weber Genesis is around 7 years old. I've only needed to replace the battery holder for the ignitor after a battery leaked. It cleans up nicely. No comparison between the Weber and the cheap steel grills. And being able to get parts 20 years later is a huge plus.
I've had to put new burners and tents in my Genesis, after about 7'ish years of frequent use. Mine have the stainless grates (well worth the extra money), I clean those a few times a year with oven cleaner and the pressure washer. No joke, I lay them against the iron fence and blast away. Sure beats scrubbing. Otherwise it's just basic clean it out when needed and keep on grillin'
I bought this one after a lot of stop and go searching. It was originally sold through Costco. I found a NIB one at a resale store back in August. My 12 year old Jenn-Air 75000 btu grill was so far gone I would have spent as much money fixing it back up as I did for this new one and this one is an 88000 btu rated.
Made by the same company that made my old Jenn-Air, it's a well thought out design. My old rotisserie works on this one as well.
