Works at it should
By James M. Koury
Ive had this grill for 6 months now and am happy to report all is well.

- Very easy to set up. Maybe 20 minutes. Just connect the main pieces
- Heats quickly and can get to around 750 F with all burners firing
- Searing element works well
- Night light is great after dusk. Just the right amount of light
- Attracts finger sprints and dirt but to be expected from stainless steel
- Infrared Rotisserie works well the first time I used it. Chicken was moist and golden brown
- Had a problem with the rotisserie motor and one call to Weber had a new one at my front door in 2 days. They were great.

Happy and would buy again

11/10 Update

I have had the grill for 1.5 yrs now and noticed that the paint on the sides of the hood started bubbling and peeling even though it has been constantly under the Weber cover since new. I called up customer support to tell them and within 1.5 minutes with her on the phone, she said they would send me out a new hood immedietly at no charge. I received it within 3 days. This company is incredible. All other companies should take note.

Be sure you buy the cover!
By Harold Long
A very hiqh-quality piece, this is my third or fourth Weber gas grill, not counting the several charcoal kettles I've had over the years. Quite heavy, much more than my Genesis model that it replaced. I read the reviews before purchasing and want to reinforce the need to buy the proper (and non-vented!) cover for this grill.

If you leave it uncovered in the rain, be prepared for a real mess. The grease collection system acts like its supposed to, funneling everything that falls through the grate into the drip pan - including rain that gets in through all the vent holes above the burners. Even a moderate rain, 1/2 inch or less, will fill the drip pan to overflowing and the grease inside will float off the top and into the interior cabinet. Unpleasant and messy to clean up.

The cover you want is the Weber 7554 premium cover for the Summit 400-series.

Summit replacement
By Edward R. Miller
I bought this to replace a older natural gas summit I had to let go when I sold my home. The qquality of steeel in the older unit was in my opinion superior. However this unit has several improvements. The burner ignition system is greatly improved. The utensil hooks don't interfer with the door opening. The rotisserie spit and forks have on board storage. The sear burner really works. This uniit burns much hotter than the old but this may be due to the propane fuel. Overall I would recommend this unit.
