Mine is six year old. I have one of the non-Home Depot models and it is far
better than Weber IMO. More expensive though.

I'd also look at MHP, www.modernhomeproducts.com Broilmaster, and maybe a
couple of others depending on your needs. I would not buy a grill that does
not h ave an infrared burner for the rotisserie but that may not be
important to you. Same with a side burner.

Weber is good, but there are some very competitive brands that have been
around for many years. Try looking at places aside from the big box stores.
Propane dealers and outdoor living places carry some of the high quality
brands. Many people have never heard of Ellipse, Beefeater, Sunshine, etc.
They are well built grills that will last a lifetime.
