2nd time a charm

I have been looking at this grill to replace my old built in grill at my home in AZ for a long time. It required a significant amount of rework to my island in order to accommodate this design, but I am familiar with the quality of this product and felt it worthwhile as it would last a long time. I was disappointed at the condition the grill was delivered with scratches of the frame and the visiguard on the doors could not be removed. I thought we resolved that problem years ago. The store replaced the entire grill and I had them remove all the protective visiguard before delivery so I don't know how difficult it was to remove. The second unit arrived in great shape and I had it installed. As I expected the overall function of the grill is perfect. I am very happy with the temperature control and heat distribution for cooking a variety of dishes.

Improved

This model is much improved over the last Summit I purchased 9 years ago. Much more solid construction, better lighting and burner function.

Great grill so far!

We've only had the grill for a few weeks, but what I can confirm is that it heats quickly, its VERY spacious and the overall quality of the build is great. Was a lot of work to set up and the finished surround could have been a little more thought through. One comment - the adhesive used on the protective film left a residue on the doors and hood, despite removing it right away. We had to use acetone to remove it. The grill hood was ruined but Weber was great in sending a prompt replacement. Overall very happy so far.

Gaps make it not a buy

This is my 3rd Weber built in grill. I have always been satisfied until the latest model. The new design has 2 inch gaps on each side . Besides looking terrible rain pours down into the underneath storage area. The rain also hits the wires underneath . I wish I knew this before I bought.
