I repair and refurbish Weber grills. Weber has a great warranty on their grills and you will need it on the newer ii models. I get more people asking me to replace or repair theirs then any other years and models. I have several lids, seems that the new models are made cheaply and rust quicker. I always tell people it may be cheaper to repair their older models Weber then to replace with a new one. Just my personal thoughts.

I think you would like the genesis II. I prefer my older vintage genesis 1000 but the genesis II grills are nice and seem pretty well built. At least in my first hand experience with friends and families grills.I have a 2008 Summit that quite frankly has seen its better days, covered a lot under warranty though the cart is now rusting, somehow a door hinge fell off, the electric assembly to the lighted knobs has failed me a second time, I never use the infrared or rotisserie, and the smoke box never seemed to really work great (smoke goes right out the side its near), so I'm just tired of replacing stuff and want to simplify, and like the open cart design of the Genesis II which I hope will cut down on future rusting, plus the feature I use the most, the sear burner is now an option on the Genesis (not to mention the thick stainless steel cooking grates). I'll expirament around with a 3rd party smoke box accessory.
I remember buying the model of my Summit on sale as a closeout I think specifically because the newer model they switched to a cheaper stainless steel, maybe that has something to do with it.Yeah I would have to think that they would hold up nearly as well if not as well as the old war horses. While I don't like them I don't see any inferior materials in use on them
Yeah, was considering another Summit but a lot of the issues I mentioned I've had with mine people are still complaining about on the new models.I think you would like the genesis II.

Weber really needs a complete redesign of the summit line. The flagship line should be built better. Maybe that is coming soon.
I live here in Florida right on the gulf. The salt messes these up quick.Really? I know a couple of people that bought genesis II grills in 2017 and those grills are holding up great.

I see a lot of rusted stainless Weber's here.That makes sense. But then that would also be the case for the older genesis 1000 and silver grills wouldn't it? Those grills don't fare well in a salt air environment either particularly the painted steel frame.
The only grills that truly last in coastal areas are the ones that are all stainless. High quality stainless. Or that have a stainless frame and the standard cast aluminium firebox. At least that's what I've learned over the years from reading this forum (I don't live on the coast). Has your experience been different?
