Weber Genesis II LX E-440 Review
We tested the Genesis II LX E-440; a good looking 4-burner gas grill, built like a tank with many great features that do justice to the Weber Genesis names lofty reputation. However the LX E-440 has two frustrating flaws; it doesn't do a good job of searing and high price. We give it our AmazingRibs.com Bronze Medal.
