Pros and cons

Pros

  • Weber sells across gas, charcoal and pellet, so a move from gas to charcoal or pellet stays inside one brand.
  • A 12 year warranty on the Genesis grill is well above the category median of 4 years.
  • Portable grills are part of the range, so a small lawn or a trip away does not rule Weber out.
  • Some models are app connected, which moves monitoring off the person standing over the lid.
  • The Genesis grill quoted lists 3,310 square centimetres of cooking space, a workable size for a family batch.

Cons

  • Support runs on help centre and phone only, so email is not one of the listed channels.
  • The 399 degree figure on the Genesis grill places Weber at 15 of 23 brands on max temp, so it is mid table on heat.
  • The $54.99 starting price is taken from portable grills, so a full size gas, kamado or pellet purchase sits well above it.
  • Warranty years put Weber at 13 of 34 brands, so some rivals quote longer cover.

Who it suits

  • People who want every fuel in gas, charcoal and pellet from a single brand rather than shopping around.
  • Buyers who weigh cover over entry price, given the 12 year warranty listed on the Genesis grill.
  • Shoppers in the US, the home market of US, where the catalogue and warranty wording quoted here apply.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Char-Broil, if you want a shorter list to browse: gas grill, charcoal grill and electric grill leaves out pellet and kamado.
  • Lodge, if cast iron over charcoal is your only plan: charcoal grill, smoker and griddle stays with charcoal, smokers and griddles.
  • GrilyKrby.cz, if you also cook pizza, since gas grill, charcoal grill and pellet grill adds a pizza oven to the grill formats.

What it does well

Weber's quoted specs sit in the practical middle rather than at the extreme. The Genesis gas grill listed reaches 399 degrees, which is enough for searing and for long indirect cooking, and it carries a warranty of 12 years. The same grill lists 3,310 square centimetres of cooking area, a workable size for cooking a full meal in one go. Portable grills are part of the range too, which matters if your cooking space is a balcony or a lawn rather than a built patio, and some models are app connected so a cook can be checked without standing beside the grill.

Where it sits among rivals

Against the brands ranked here, Weber is strong on entry price and cover rather than on peak heat. On max temp it sits at 15 of 23 brands, above the bottom of the table and below the highest temperatures in the category. On price from it ranks 4 of 39 brands, which puts its starting figure near the low end of the set. Warranty years place it 13 of 34 brands, behind the very longest guarantees but comfortably clear of the short ones. Buyers chasing searing heat should read further up the max temp table, while first time buyers will find the entry price forgiving.

Who runs it

Weber has been making outdoor cookers since 1952, and the business behind the brand is Weber-Stephen Products LLC, headquartered in the United States. Support runs on help centre and phone, so there is a help centre for written questions and a phone line for the problems that need a person, such as a burner that will not light or a temperature that will not hold. The catalogue, prices and warranty wording quoted here are the US ones, so read the local terms before buying from another market.

How Weber compares

Frequently asked questions

What does a Weber grill cost at the entry point?+

The lowest Weber price quoted is $54.99, taken from the portable grill range rather than the full size gas grills. On entry price Weber ranks 4 of 39 brands, so the starting figure sits near the low end of the set. Budget for the model you actually want, not for this figure.

Which fuels does Weber sell grills for?+

Weber covers gas, charcoal and pellet across the range, so you can start on gas and move to charcoal, pellet or wood without changing brand. The Genesis gas grill quoted reaches 399 degrees. Electric grills sit in the same list for cooks who want a grill on a patio with no open flame.

What kinds of appliances does Weber make?+

The range runs wider than a shelf of gas grills: gas grill, charcoal grill and pellet grill are all listed, so kamado, smoker and griddle options sit next to the standard gas and charcoal grills. The listed entry price of $54.99 comes from the portable end, which means a kamado or pellet grill is a clear step up from that figure.

How long is the warranty on a Weber grill?+

The Genesis gas grill carries a warranty of 12 years, against a category median of 4 years. That is long cover for an outdoor appliance, and far more than the short guarantees common in this category. The wording quoted here applies to the US business.

How hot does a Weber grill get?+

The Genesis gas grill listed reaches 399 degrees, which is close to the category median of 400 degrees. Weber ranks 15 of 23 brands on max temp, so expect solid everyday heat rather than a specialist high heat machine.

How much cooking space do I get on a Weber grill?+

The Genesis grill quoted lists 3,310 square centimetres of cooking area, enough for a full family meal on the main grate. That figure comes from a single named model, so larger Weber grills will differ. The same model is the one quoted for 399 degrees and a 12 year warranty.

Does Weber offer an app or portable grills?+

Weber lists app connected models, and portable grills are part of the range, so a small balcony or cooking away from home does not rule the brand out. That means monitoring and moving a cook are both possible inside the same range. If a reading or a probe needs a person, support runs on help centre and phone.

Which countries can I buy Weber grills in?+

Weber lists AU, AT and BH as its markets, so the range is not a US only affair, though the business behind it is based in the United States. Prices and warranty wording quoted here are the US ones, and the company trades there as Weber-Stephen Products LLC. Read the local terms if you are buying outside that market.
