My current Weber Genesis is still like new after 3years. Sits on the deck year round. It replaced a Weber Genesis that was 14 years old and still cooking. They are pricey but worth it.

I've got a Weber Genesis Silver-- 12 years now and I have replaced the "flavor bars" and the grates with Gill Grates.
But I won't ever buy another propane grill unless it has some sort of sear burner. You just cannot get enough heat to properly cook a steak otherwise. I put the grill grates directly on the flavor bars, to try to get the heat up and it's marginal at best. The gas grill makers admit this-- they need air flow for safety, and this prevents them from getting really hot. So get one with the sear feature.
BTW-- the right way to cook steaks, for anyone interested, is to heat them in the oven gently up to 100 degrees internal, then sear the outside on a HOT grill... By the time you have a nice Maillard outside, you'll have hit 135 internal, and you're done when you reach that measured 135. If you eat them well-done, well, save the trouble and just throw them on the grill. And don't invite me over. : )
