Purchased 2 at Walmart by Mail Order to be delivered to local store. Opened them both at the store. Both had issues with the finish. Tiny bubble, black showing through, even red flakes on the inside of the bottom bowl of one of them. Returned them both.
How do you know if you are going to get a good one or not. Thought issue was fixed. This may be old stock, but how do you know? Called Weber to talk to supervisor, but no luck. Took my name, but what are they going to do? Want photos etc?? Too much hassle. Maybe they will give me a free one, but I doubt it. Oh well, just not meant to be I guess. Maybe I will order 2 more from Walmart and probably return both of them. Maybe if Walmart calls Weber, something will be done. I know, I took a chance, actually 2 chances and both failed. Probably crazy to order 2 more and see what I get. PLUS, you never know what heat will do to the finish. Probably best just to pass on these? Too bad! What DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO?
