The Weber Genesis EX-325W delivers where it counts most: it cooks evenly, keeps meat juicy, and the 750°F Sear Zone genuinely works. The Wi-Fi-connected thermometer and Weber Connect app add a layer of modern convenience that, when everything connects properly, feels like the future of backyard grilling. But this grill also shows signs of cost-cutting that some of its predecessors didn’t have—lightweight knobs, exposed igniter wiring, and gaps in the base that invite yard debris. It’s a very good grill with some head-scratching design choices, and after two months of cooking on it, we’d buy it again—just with eyes open.
