Versatile, dependable, easy to use even for a traditional grill guy. The controls are simple and elegant, and the performance is Weber--works every time, predictable, trustworthy. Taste of almost everything is better than gas; the wood pellets deliver.

This grill replaces a 2nd gen LX4 which had continuous problems which Weber tried to remedy and helped me get into the Sear +. It's performed flawlessly, you can hear the fan react differently to different conditions such as opening lid to changing temps. The sear plate works great and the internal light is a must for evening grills.

I've had this grill since it was first released, my EX6 is OUTSTANDING! Although Weber sent me EVERYTHING that was known to be problematic, e.g. hopper slide, glow plug, auger motor etc. I am still on all original equipment from the motor to the glow plug. I've literally had no problems with this grill. In fact, four years later I'm so happy and I feel that if it were to stop working at this point I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it. I love this grill, it looks like the only updates this grill has seen is a light inside the smoker and an included sear grate. I have purchased the front folding shelf and a cover. My previous pellet grill was made by a company that rhymes with prayger so I'm familiar with the usual snafu's that come up i.e. flameouts, pellets not sliding freely inside the hopper and that has helped in my expectations of any pellet grill. I also own a BGE XL a mini BGE a Weber Performer, a 22" premium kettle, a Weber Big Joe, a Smokie Joe, a Weber Q300 (for when charcoal grills aren't allowed i.e. tailgates) and a 10' Santa Maria bbq trailer. I am definitely at the level of grill master and I get down with each and every grill I own.
