Is the E-435 worth it over a three-burner Spirit?

If you regularly cook for a crowd or want a side burner and a hot sear zone, the extra burner and Boost knobs justify the step up. For two or three people, a three-burner Spirit covers most meals for less.

How many burgers fit?

Weber rates it at about 20 burgers across the 428 square inch primary area. The 105 square inch warming rack adds room for buns or already-cooked pieces.

Does it come with a griddle or rotisserie?

No. The griddle insert, Crafted frame kit and grillware are sold separately, and there is no rotisserie or smoker box included.

How big is the footprint?

With the lid open it stands about 60.5 inches tall and 31 inches deep, and it weighs around 103 lb. Plan for a fixed patio spot rather than moving it often.

Gas grills like this typically drop around Memorial Day, July 4 and end-of-season clearance in late summer. Watch the price history rather than buying at full price in spring.

Our take on the Weber Spirit E-435 Gas Grill

The Weber Spirit E-435 is a freestanding four-burner propane or natural gas grill with 428 square inches of primary cooking area, 533 square inches total, and a 12,000 BTU side burner. Its standout is the Sear Zone: two red Boost knobs push the main burners to 35,000 BTU total for hotter, faster searing, and Snap-Jet ignition lights each burner one-handed. Porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates and stainless steel Flavorizer bars handle heat distribution, and the side rails accept Weber Works snap-on accessories. It is a mid-size, mid-price grill at about 103 lb, sized for a family patio rather than a tailgate.

What reviewers say

Owners of the Spirit line generally praise even heating, sturdy build and easy ignition, and the E-435's sear zone and side burner get credit for flexibility. Common complaints center on assembly time, the price of add-on accessories and the modest primary grate size for four burners.

Pros

Even heat across the grates
Solid, long-lasting build quality
Sear zone gets very hot for steaks
Side burner is handy for sauces

Cons

Assembly takes a while
Accessories like the griddle add up
Primary area feels small for four burners
Heavy to move once built
