Buy it! I am going into my 4th season of year-round grilling with my Weber BBQ, and it still works as well as it did when I first bought it. Two minor problems I have had each took one phone call to their customer service department, and a replacement part (under their 5-10 year warranty) was in my hand a few days later.
As far as their actual capabilities, Webers are far more consistent in maintaining temperature than any grill I've owned (Char-Broil, Sunbeam, Thermos, Fiesta). This makes it much easier to grill a wider variety of items. Whole chickens, roast beef, leg of lamb, vegetables of all kinds, seafood, etc. If you buy it at Home Depot, the grill comes with cast-iron cooking grates, which make perfect grill marks on steaks and chops.
The porcelain finish has remained in perfect shape, and a little Fantastik spray cleaner keeps the side trays and burner knob area looking good. No peeling paint here... It is much more inviting to cook on a grill that does not look like it's been through the mill.
Yes, they cost more, but the ads are true... You'll still be using your Weber when your neighbor is putiing together his next grill. I never see a Weber at the curb for garbage pickup. AND, one last thing- they are truly simple to put together.
Get one, and get cooking...
