The grill arrives in a pretty large box, so you'll probably want it delivered to where you're going to assemble it unless you have a large vehicle to transport it in (this may impact delivery options for gift-giving).
The good
I wouldn't consider myself a true grill master, but I've used a few charcoal grills in my day. The Performer's surface is easily the most spacious one that I've worked with. The roominess inside the grill provides plenty of area for customizing heat zones.
The fact that the cover isn't hinged and can lift completely off allows for full access from every angle when the situation warrants it. This can be useful when I'm grilling for a large party and need to handle the food properly while carrying on conversations with my guests.
This is the first grill I've ever owned with a proper ash trap (instead of a tray in the bottom or something similar). I _love_ the fact that I only have to empty it when it gets full, instead of every time I start the charcoal.
The grill's material feels solid and well-made, just as one would expect from a Weber. I'm not sure that the thermometer in the grill cover is particularly accurate, but I appreciate the ability to ballpark the temperature inside the grill with a glance from the other side of the deck.
The air regulation is effective and fairly typical. The lower air vents also double as the mechanism for pushing ash out of the bottom of the grill into the ash trap. The ash never actually blocks the vents, though, so that seems to work pretty well. It can be a bit tricky to see how open the lower vents are in the middle of a grilling session. After a little experience, though, I can guess pretty well just by the position of the lever.
The work area is _extremely_ convenient. It's made out of a hardy plastic. If left exposed to the elements, it can get pretty dirty, so I do recommend getting the cover for the grill (especially if you live in the freezing north as I do).
The charcoal storage in the grill itself is super convenient. I no longer have to haul a heavy bag from the garage, the charcoal is right there to be used.
The wheeled base works pretty well on my deck. When I move the grill, though, I normally lift the work table side about an inch off the ground because the small casters can easily get caught in the gaps between the wood planks.
The bad
It isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Given the price of this grill, I think it's essential to also get the grill cover to protect your investment.
The nutshell
This is the best grill I've used in my life. I love it. Treat it with love, and it'll love you back with some of the tastiest chicken, beef, and veggies you'll ever eat.
Well Weber only offered to send me new standoffs and the person on the phone didn't seem genuinely concerned with this issue. I have returned this grill.
Nice concept but needs some modifications.
For those who have commented on how they have owned Weber for years and never had a problem. I will bet you have never been is an aircraft accident, but if you were you or family surely would want whatever caused the accident fixed so it doesn't happen to someone else. Same principle here.
