Day before yesterday I bought a 100 Q (at Hornbach, 30 km away). When assembling I discovered that the device was moved, because the grease drip tray did not fit. There was a plastic spacer between rack and grill swimming pool, so that was on the one hand between the feet a distance of 20 cm, on the other side of almost 22 cm. In the service hotline of Weber was very friendly, but not able to send me the missing piece, "because you need to write an e-mail No -. With the technology we can not put you through, that's not possible technically If. unscrew itself, may lose the warranty! " - So again 30 km to the Hornbach back - an hour's drive, all because of a well in practice "washer" - Exchanged for another device, unpacked with saleswoman, unpacked scratches in the cover and in the grill pan next machine, grill pan not properly sprayed black, then finally a perfect device. In Hornbach was told these initial problems are more common, I'm not the first, "Weber-Angry" Arriving home reassembly - but what is it? The gas hose mount shown in the instruction manual is missing! This one uses, if instead of the cartridge - which is not sowiso here ("Where would Weber because then go?"), For example, would like to join a 5 kg gas bottle.. For this you need a conversion kit 18,99 expensive with too short hose of Weber, "because even when using an - expensive sets - the warranty is void" (affordable set at Amazon for 5,99). This conversion set the hose holder is also not there! Call the hotline: "No, this is neither the set nor the Q 100 while No- we can not pin this part in an envelope and send it informally - that is not provided and also technically impossible!" So I'm building myself what!
I sat hours in the car and phone hours. I thought when buying a Weber grills - the Mercedes among the grills - you can not go wrong!
Now for the grill cleaners von Weber: For The fine print on the back you need a magnifying glass. On the "Special Cleaner" for the Q series is on the back that you should spray the contents on the inside of the lid - point! What about the rest of the grill? - Do I want now for each part another cleaner? Catalog and Weber-Homepage for cleaner-information - Wrong! So, call the hotline: Clean everything with Q-cleaner, except for the grill take the grill cleaner. Why is not there and the cleaners even only partial information to the Weber-sale Islands, on the website or in the catalog. Why there is no quality control? Why is customer service although friendly but not user friendly - Is Weber clientele worth nothing? So in summary: The product has a good design is functionally well thought out, service and quality are but far from "Mercedes-like" or "Kärcher-like": Thus one uses the term "Kärchern" for cleaning with high-pressure cleaner, what brand name it. "Webern" to use as a synonym for grilling, I hold for arg presumptuous! Even so - grilled I have now already once - at least that worked satisfactorily.
