Today, we're doing a versus video of the Napoleon Prestige 500 Vs. The Weber Genesis 2022!!! The Napoleon Prestige 500 is one of Embers best sellers and a grill we highly recommend. The Weber Genesis 2022 is a fan favorite and they just released the new 2022 edition. This is so exciting, can't wait to show you guys these grills!

The 2022 Weber Genesis has some new additions to it. One of the new additions is the oversized side shelf on the right side of the grill. This is a really useful addition and gives you more space to place the food your cooking. Another addition is that Weber moved the propane to the inside of the grill instead of hanging off the outside of the unit. Don't worry, They still have the contraption you hang your propane on to tell how full it is! There were some really cool upgrades to this unit and it's very comparable to the Napoleon Prestige 500.

The Napoleon Prestige 500 is one of Embers best sellers for a reason, it's an amazing grill. First off, what sets this apart from the Weber Genesis is the Infa red sear burner on the side shelf of the Napoleon. this burner will get hotter than any of the burners on the Weber and thats a huge deal for some people! Another things that sets it apart is the the light up knobs! I know this is a small minor detail, but they are super cool and useful. There are many reasons why the Napoleon is cool, watch and see how!

These are both amazing grills and remember to always choose what works best for your situation. This is an educational video to help consumers know what they are purchasing. Let us know what you think?

Travis nailed this comparison. It is a solid 2 years later and Weber is still lagging behind the Napoleon. I love Weber products but when it came time to upgrade my grills I chose the Napoleon Prestige 500. It sits on my patio and goes to work. It is practically the Porsche of gas grills. Great job once again Travis!

Greetings from Ukraine!
I'm a charcoal grill fan. I have a Weber 5750. I wanted to get a Weber Genesis SX 435 gas grill for my birthday, but after your videos I changed my choice to a Napoleon Prestige 500 RSIB.
An additional factor was my wife's trip to Toronto and she was amazed that people everywhere had Napoleon Prestige grills EXCLUSIVELY. So I am proud to say that I am the owner of Napoleon. Thanks to you and your team for a detailed and truthful comparison test.
Best regards

I've had my Prestige PRO 500 for 7 years. Tremendous grill with a sexy look. Only had to change the burners recently which was covered under warranty. Their customer service is top notch, second to none.

Had/have a Prestige for 14 years, never used the rotisserie burner once. However, you demonstrated exactly why I hate the Napoleon, look at the unevenness of the lit rotisserie burning see how it's not lit completely? The unevenness of that burner is the problem throughout the Napoleon burners, especially the bottom grill burners. The grill doesn't get hot enough, and it's heating is uneven. I have a Genesis too, and it gets way hotter, and is perfectly even. Napoleon has replaced everything on my grill, it's a bad design, or poor output regulator, I have not idea and either do they.

You forgot the rollback top of Napoleon. I love your videos, you add just enough humour to make it fun. I love the Napoleon, even though I am a little basis since I work for them. I have given at least six p500rsib to friends as gifts and they love them.

My Weber 3 burner just died 20 yrs later....This Napoleon looks good for some Jersey Shore cook outs....You sold me...Good review.

Best thing I ever did was lie to my wife about the price of the prestige 500... I suffered for 6 years with my Home Depot special... Don't tell her the truth

Excellent review. Also, on point with your analysis! Great job.

[GlaciusDreams]

Got a Weber genesis (2022 version) without all the digital crap I don’t use for 799$. In love so far. That napoleon looks beautiful to. I think they are both good options.
I know when your shopping every little detail and price point is important and fun to learn and investigate. But ultimately these are both really nice grills.

[Stcyrpools]

Meeting with the Napoleon rep tomorrow to hopefully bring them into my shop. Your videos have been very helpful.

My first Weber 2001 silver three burner. Used all year round. Just replaced grill and flavor bars with stainless. Running great.

I've now spent over 40 minutes watching a couple of your videos and they were both great! I assume the lighted knobs on the Napoleon require batteries? I was literally comparing these two and low and behold you had a video! Thanks! Napoleon for the win!

I went with the Weber for a few reasons. 1st was the full size griddle. I've been wanting a flat top for a while but also need to upgrade my 15 year old Q to have a later cooking surface. With the new Weber I get both with one footprint. I don't do rotisserie either so that wasn't a selling point for me personally. I didn't think I would use a side burner either but that changed when I saw someone grilling up breakfast on the griddle and had gravy going on the side burner and biscuits on the top rack. Final decision maker for me was a sale on the Weber that I just couldn't pass up. I got the grill, cover and full griddle for less than the 500 alone. The 500 is still a very good buy for someone who does rotisserie.

Like the bonuses with the 500, but didn't see ourselves ever using the rotissery or the side burner. Ended up with the Genisis 325 vs 335 -- pretty much identical except side burner, storage and goofy "accessories" section. At $800 it was $600 less than I could find the 500. (now I see sales for $1400, Still $500 more) Build quality is great, feels very solid -- something our past "cheap" grills (like $500) always suffered with. Since we arent big party people, even the 325 was overkill size wise, but the construction vs the next step down -- say $600-700 grills -- was over the top better.

Wir haben schon echt viele Kohlesorten getestet, aber die Magna Kohle ist wirklich mit Abstand die beste die wir je hatten! Hat das ganze nochmal auf ein ganz anderes Level gehoben. Keine Ahnung was da drin ist, aber die sind wirklich top!

Great video! I don’t understand the person who says you are too long. Don’t change a thing, just do you!

[MTod]

Thanks for the honest review. I chose the Weber because I got a great deal. If you don’t mind feedback, your videos could be 50% shorter if you were more concise.

[StewartHaasNewman]

Honestly I struggled to decide between the prestige 500 with infrared burner/rotisserie or a Weber genesis e-435. Luckily the ace by me had both on display. I prefer cast iron over stainless, and the napoleon just didn’t feel well built. The big decision maker was parts, Weber parts are easy to get. Napoleon is known for their lack of customer service. I am loving my Weber so far, got plenty of the add ons and am loving them to

[oneconsciousman]

I was on the fence between both. I had long thought that I wanted a Weber but the price was just to high, so I settled for what was supposed to be glowing reviews for Broil King…Never again. I watched this episode among others regarding the comparison between Napoleon and Weber.
Something about Napoleon was sitting very well and even more so after watching this video.
You explained everything clearly, concisely and sensibly.

In the end I went with Napoleon prestige with Infrared side and rear, because I like the design and that it is made at home here in Canada.

So thanks for the video. It really helped make up my mind. Either would be good but Napoleon has conquered my grilling.

[dennisadorno]

Great video, I have been cooking on Weber for years. In the market for a new grill and I think I'll give Napoleon a try.
