About.com's Derrick Riches says the Spirit E-310 "is probably the best built grill for the price you will find." He notes, however, that the cooking grates are made of porcelain-coated welded steel instead of stainless steel or cast iron, and that the stainless-steel parts on the grill are not made of the highest-quality materials. Riches also say the grill doesn't offer enough workspace, since the controls are on the right side table. However, he says the Weber quality outweighs all these factors, and gives the grill a rating of 4.5 out of 5. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)

Barbecue expert Bobby Glazier recommends the Weber Spirit E-310 as a good entry-level grill for families. He likes the dependable ignition ("usually the first thing to go on cheaper grills"), and says that unless you are single and living in a small apartment, the similar Spirit E-210 doesn't offer enough space; the E-310 is the answer.
