My first Napoleon, less than 7 years on the job, burner mount rusted out. Then, after fixing rust hole, regulator went. Won't heat up past 400 degrees.I checked with others that had these grills, Napoleon, in Barrie Ontario, won't even answer their phone. The customer service doesn't exist. I bought new sear plates because they were rusted out at 5 years and the lighter died at 5 yrs also.I checked with the other Napoleon owners and ,I ended up buying new sear plates from Amazon. The unit was covered every winter. I'm going with a Weber E215 this time.

How would you cook a 1” ribeye or sirloin on the nap?

Are they both made in China? Or designed in California

Those new buyers looking for their first grill, number one thing to check for in a grill is to have a fully, seamless aluminum tub.
If you look at Char Broil grills, there are seams. Seamless means those grease / oil will not find its way down to your garage floor and stain it for good. I hated Char broil grill for that.
Makes me hate to grill often. I’m talking about upper horizontal seams above the tub.

I didn’t see it mentioned in the comments and maybe you still haven’t figured it out, but the flat side of the Weber grates is the seer side. Also the white background on the Weber thermometer is easier to see at a distance. These things matter lol.

I have had no experience with Napoleon but I have a Weber Spirit that I have been using for a long time, I'm thinking about 20 years. The durability of this grill is absolutely amazing. I have had to replace the flavor bars as they do deteriorate. The grill is still using the original burners and the original igniter is still working. I'm going to get a new grill just because it looks so bad being 20 years old. Considering the service this Weber has given I will get another Weber. Thanks for the video it was interesting.

Napoleon never honors gheir warranties. Weber is no hassle. Napoleon charges you shipping for warranty claims if you're lucky
