 Quality cover with no vents Jul 26, 2010
I ordered this cover from Amazon in June 2010 and it does not have any vents to let in unwanted rain. It fits my Weber S-310 well and seems to be well constructed. My previous Weber cover for my Genesis 3000 lasted for the life of the grill (16 years) and still was in good shape when we disposed of the old grill.
 Great function, decent quality Jul 25, 2010
I got one of these when I bought my Weber Genesis. This cover fits perfectly, and the velcro straps work great. I was skeptical at first but it sits outside all year with Illinois thunderstorms, ice storms, and straight winds but it's never blown off.
I've had it around a year and it's starting to show wear. A few places near the corners it has cracks in the surface and I expect it'll probably lose integrity in another year or two. That's better than some cheaper covers but for something MSRP $50 I expected a longer life for the cover.
Totally satisfied! Jul 21, 2010
We had been doing some pricing at local shopping sites that offered this same grill cover. When we saw it offered through Amazon for less, we were concerned with the quality. Although they were supposed to be the same, we were concerned that in actuality they weren't. We decided to order it and give it a try. Low and behold, the same exact cover for less! Excellent fit for our Weber. And the cover is quite hefty so it should wear well. We are pleased and would recommend this cover for your Weber Genesis gas grill!
No Vents from Amazon, 7-19-2010 Jul 19, 2010
I had read the horror stories about the leaky vents in these covers that caused rusted "stainless" grills, etc. And while some people reported the vents were gone a year ago, they kept turning up, as recently as 9 Apr 2010. I can report that I received mine from Amazon today, 19 July 2010, and it has no vents.
For me, the choice was between this cover and the Veranda Cover in Medium Size that many Genesis grill owners have turned to and been glad they did. The Veranda cover has gotten good reviews -- the only complaint I've seen has been fading. It has vents, but they're covered by a flap that keeps the rain out. I recommend you consider both the Weber cover reviewed here and the Veranda.
I was a little concerned about the removal of the vents from the Weber design. After all, they were originally there to reduce condensation. From looking closely at my cover on my Genesis grill, I don't see why they were ever necessary, since there is good ventilation under the cover, all the way around. The area where the vents were is particularly well ventilated. Go figure.
I've seen some reviews that said the Veranda might benefit from some straps to hold it in place. I can tell you that the black stripes you see on the Weber's pictures on Amazon are velcro straps that can be tightened to secure the cover in windy situations.
The material is fine; I have no complaints there or on the construction. I would say it's well worth the price, especially if you get free shipping from Amazon. This was one of the reasons I bought the Weber: you have to pay shipping for the Veranda, and it won't come as quickly as with Amazon Prime if you happen to have that.
Even so, you should consider both and read some reviews of both. I'm sure you won't go wrong with either. The Veranda's lighter color might go better with your patio's or deck's decor.
Best,
Tim
Durable & fits perfectly Jul 16, 2010
Bought this grill cover for my new Weber E-310 and it's perfect. Previous grill covers that I've owned were made of much thinner material and ripped easily - not this one.
