About

The Weber Summit E-470 is part of the Grills test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, Gas Grills models like the Summit E-470 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.

Evenness performance: A high score means heat is evenly distributed across the grill. This ensures food cooks at the same rate, whether placed on the left, right, front, or back of the cooking surface.

Preheat performance: A high score means the grill heats up quickly. This reduces wait time before cooking, ensures food starts on a hot surface, and helps conserve propane.

Temperature range: A high score means the grill offers a wide temperature range, from very low to very high heat. This allows for versatile cooking, from slow-cooking ribs to searing a steak.
