I'm at Lowes and just noticed that they have lowered the price to$149.00 as well.

I wonder if weber issued a price reduction. With all of the bad reviews and warranty issues they are dealing with that this may be a way to help get them out. I saw a floor model at lowes the other day (first one I have seen in person) and I have to say, it's a really really sharp looking grill. I may need to save a bit and pick one up

Well, with all the bad press/lack of quality issues... could be. They're pretty, butt not that pretty 2Me...

Only reason I'd buy one is to get my youngest sons birth year, but for that I'd rather have a Euro SJ Premium.

I've been wondering what everybody thinks of these.  I was kind of excited when I saw they had come out with them.  I haven't l spent really any time searching these forums for opinions about the red kettles.  Anyway....what are the quality issues?  I just about brought one home with me today but thought I should research a bit first.

I was also excited about these and tended to dismiss the early criticism as some enthusiasts being unrealistic in expectations. I finally had the opportunity to see for myself at Home Depot right before Christmas. The first floor model seemed ok but it had a lot of orange peel and the finish felt dry and not like good porcelain. There was a black Mastertouch nearby which had a far superior mirror finish and felt glassy smooth like porcelain should:




Much worse, though, was the second display model out on the floor for all to see. Have a look at this:



Apparently at least the early production of the kettles had both quality and shipping issues. I hope that these will improve, but my desire to own one myself has definitely dropped.

I bought two. No quality issues with either.

Looking at a floor model at HD the red finish was not as glossy as it appears in the pictures. It looked as if someone took a can of red spray paint and painted over the black.  I prefer the black. I would feel like idiot cooking on the red Christmas kettle.

There was (maybe still is) a porcelain coating issue at the leg sockets. 

Nope. Knot4Me...
