You published this right after I ordered my Weber Genesis- wish I had been able to watch this first! It would have saved me hours and hours of researching the different models. I think you nailed every point, and it sounds like your customers are interested in the same things I was interested in. I absolutely wanted the integrated handle lights, sear burner, the side locker, fuel gauge, and the 9mm stainless steel grates. It had other stuff I liked but weren't deal breakers, mainly the folding warming rack. Weber seriously knocked it out of the park with the SP-E-335. I was pricing out trying to add things like the handle lights and 9mm stainless grates to a lower end model, and it just didn't work out price-wise. They added in practically everything I wanted into the special edition model at an acceptable price. If I had to guess, I bet most places are selling the special edition model more than any other, just seems to be the best value if you're in the ~$1500 bracket. Just my two cents, but to anyone who thinks they might want the integrated handle lights, it was 100% worth getting them. It has enough lighting for me to grill without needing to mess around with my headlamp. It's such a game changer for me, I feel like this should be a standard feature on every grill that isn't barebones entry-level. I simply can't go back to having to set up lighting or have a headlamp if I want to grill in the evening. I think Weber would do good to use the same base "platform" on the Genesis to allow users of even the most base model to be able to upgrade their grill, such as having the mounting holes to be able to add on the storage side locker to a base model. Obviously they could sell all these upgrades at a premium to encourage you to just buy a higher SKU from the get-go. The special edition model had basically everything I wanted regardless, so it's not affecting me, but it seems like a logical step for them. Thanks for the video. I'm not local to you guys but the content here is great.
Special Editions aren't widely available so they aren't even close to their nationwide top sellers. You may be surprised to hear this but the best selling Genesis model (nationwide) is the entry model. It's the cheapest and most widely available. Glad you found the video on par with your thoughts. The SP-E-335 is a great grill. We have a video on here that is specifically about that model. It's the 2022 version but the performance is the same. The integrated handle light really is a great feature. Enjoy the grill and have a great Independence Day holiday. Thanks for watching and the kind words. - Sam
Wow..thank you so much Sam! This is the only video that is thorough and informative! This helped me make an informed decision and purchase. Wish you had a location here, cheers from Las Vegas!
Sam thanks for making these great videos! Weber doesn't offer this level of detailed information on any of their social media platforms. I wish I would have seen this video before special ordering the Weber SP-E 335. I'm disappointed that Weber removed the tank scale, the wide side shelf.
You're welcome. We try our best with these videos. Don't get too hung up on not having those features. You mentioned it in another comment. If you have the grill already, just enjoy it! - Sam
Looks like Weber has also released the Weber GENESIS SL-S-435, which is a 4 burner with the LED lighting but without the smart features. Only seems to be available through online resellers.
@@toolrev I’m not familiar with what they offer in other countries. From glancing at the UK website, it looks like they offer a much older Genesis style from like 2017 to 2021 here in the US with some more current styles sprinkled in. I don’t remember any of those coming with a folding sids shelf. Some Spirits come with a folding side shelf. My best guess would be to find some kind of brackets that allow you to do so. - Sam
@@justgrillinThanks. Yeah, I'll drop a vid if I mod the 2024 SP-E-335 I just ordered. Thanks to your vids I understand the dif between 2022 and the cheaper, less featured, 2024 models. Here's the 2022 UK Version - th-cam.com/video/-hwHtQHz_4E/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared&t=105
I just today, after watching one of YOUR videos earlier today, went and looked at a Genesis E 325. I'm going with it. I told the guy at the hardware store I'll be back tomorrow or Saturday to pick it up. I'm lucky in the fact that the Ace Hardware store I dealt with in the past and am being it from, will assemble it for me no charge. They actually even offered to drop it off for me. I told them I'll pick it up. Solon Ace Hardware, Solon Ohio. Best place to shop for a grill.
Hi Sam, thanks for taking the time to help me out! I see the tool hooks on each side of the shelves. I’m talking about two little black hooks that friction-fit insert in the black metal right side of the under cabinet. They’re two black plastic hooks…
@@meejee9423 gotcha. Sorry I misunderstood. Those hooks are dual purpose. They are for the Crafted system. The hooks on the inside are for hanging the gap grate for the Crafted system. The outer hooks are for hanging the normal cooking grate when using the Crafted system.
Great video I am in Australia and looking to buy the 4 burner with side burner and smart thermo I have seen the stainless steel model and find the quality of the stainless steel to mark easily which I am disappointed The black enamel seems to be more popular here and I don’t think it’s because it’s 300 dollars cheaper Any ideas why the stainless steel marks a lot I seen one and it’s bad with finger marks
Do I understand it that only one model has the tank weight? I hope I’m wrong. I’m just getting ready to shop for a new grill and love that my 2010 E-310 has that feature. Thanks for the great video.
@@Bondrkmz 4 models have the tank weight scale. You can hang the tank inside the cabinet but only 4 models will tell you how much gas is left. The SX-335, E-435, S-435 and SPX-435 all have the tank scale gauge. - Sam
@@justgrillin thanks for the quick reply back. How long ago did they get rid of the standard fuel gauge? I know it wasn’t perfect, but seems like a miss to not include it anymore on the standard more affordable models.
@@Bondrkmz just this year. It was a standard feature for many years. I mention at the beginning that Weber scaled features back and part of that is to help make the price points of grills lower. Since 2021, most prices on the grills climbed a minimum of $200 to about $400 per model above current prices. To reel in the pricing this year, they choose to remove features. Quality of everything is still on par which is good. - Sam
@@justgrillin Sam, thanks for all of your help. You’ve been great. One last question, do the 2024 Genesis models have the crossover tube (hope that’s what it’s called)? I’m talking about when you fire up one burner, all the others are connected and fire up when you open the knob on each one. Yet another feature on my 2010 that I love. Thanks again
@@Bondrkmz they do not. Each burner has its own igniter. It’s been many years since a Genesis had this feature. The Spirit II’s (only one burner has the igniter) and new Summit grills have that feature.
Cooking features and performance are the same. The new model doesn’t have the expanding/folding top rack, it’s just a standard rack. The new model doesn’t have the LP tank scale either. The right side shelf on the new model is shorter by 6 inches in width. Those are the only differences. - Sam
Great video! Very helpful. Weber needs to get off their butts & provide a comparison guide to save all their potential customer the hassle of all the required research to make an informed decision. In the area of constructive criticism: Blah blah blah. After 2.5 minutes I finally get to “the purpose of this video….” You talk too slow bro...
@@humbucker2006 thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. You’re not the first to say I talk slow. Someone said they changed the playback speed to 1.2 and found it better. It’s a lot of information to go through so I’m not trying to rush through and forget something. I do my best to get through the first part as brief as possible. It’s a small portion of the length and depth of the total video. - Sam
At 4:54 you’ve just said only black or SS. Don’t concern yourself…with the slow, almost hypnotic pace. But high priced grills with cabinets that rust out - may be covered for 1 year, maybe not…freekin’ don’t look for choice among our products? I don’t see the appeal of the aproaches. Will you even talk about features I care about- like a GOOD warranty? Choice among grate types for the same grill? Deep firebox, ventilation control, hd cast SS burners, options for flametamers? At the $1100 price-point should I concern myself? Tell ya what: give me one to evaluate for 2 years and I’ll concern myself and send you the tip you were just short of demanding.
