What reviewers say about the Weber Genesis E-325s

Only one whitelisted tester with a readable hands-on body covers this exact grill: Wirecutter, which names the Weber Genesis E-325 its upgrade pick after grilling 140+ lbs of food across an 18-grill test. It praises rock-steady low/set-temperature control (better than the Spirit line) and a dedicated sear zone that builds a dark crust, but flags weak firepower away from that zone. A Serious Eats review of the same model was bot-blocked and could not be verified, so it is excluded.

Based on 1 review · 1 lab-tested · 2026-05-18

Tested by Wirecutter

Consistently praised

  • Holds a low/set temperature exceptionally steadily, even better than the Spirit models, making it strong for indirect roasting/smoking
  • Dedicated sear-zone burner builds a dark, flavorful crust on steaks and burgers
  • Large cooking area (~20% bigger than the Spirit E-425, fits ~15 patties) with a cast-aluminum firebox and long 12-year box/10-year burner warranty

Commonly flagged

  • Away from the sear zone it is a 'gentle' grill not heavy on firepower, giving slightly paler sear marks than the older Spirit II E-310
  • Big 57-inch footprint with side tables that don't fold down, and no cover is included

Where reviewers disagree Single-source: only Wirecutter produced a readable tested body, so no cross-outlet comparison is possible. Wirecutter itself hedges on firepower, stating it was 'planning to soon test the Genesis side by side against our current pick, the Weber Spirit E-425.' A separate Serious Eats review of the same grill returned HTTP 402 to fetch-clean and could not be verified verbatim, so it was excluded.
