Weber 7553 Genesis Series Cover

This is only my second Weber grill cover in the last ten years. The material is solid and I anticipate that this will last a long time BUT - WHAT ON EARTH WAS WEBER THINKING?!? The big holes do nothing to keep ou the rain. A dust free grill is great and all but when there are huge water puddles onthe decks - not good.

After reading about the same problem from so many other people, I would have bought a different cover except I couldn't find any with the correct dimensions so I just went ahead and got this one. I agree with everyone -- this is a REALLY dumb design! And if the vents are needed (and I still can't imagine why in the world they would be!) then why AREN'T they shown on the picture on the box??? It's not like tons of water get into them, but any water sort of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I think we're going to try to cover the vents with black tape to minimize the amount of water that gets in. But except for that (which is kind of a HUGE "but"...), it's a quality made product.

ordered and received this item without any hassel. was a bit dubious about the purchase given others' concerns about vents on the cover letting moisture in. purchased it anyway. left a review indicating that i should have heeded the reviews of others as the vents on my cover indeed did allow moisture through and on to my grill. i was contacted by the vendor repeatedly asking me to remove what they deemed a negative comment. finally, after repeated emails and calls to my home, the vendor offered to provide a full refund for the purchase of the cover, allow me to keep the cover, in return for removing the "negative" comment. i agreed to do so and did. i have not heard anything more from the vendor about my refund. i should have trusted my instinct to leave what i felt was a honest assessment of the grill cover's performance. i'm leaving this review to alert other would-be-buyers to what i think is a design flaw in the cover and to not be taken in by a promise for a refund to remove an honest review.

This Weber grill cover is made of very sturdy, durable material and fits our Genesis EP-320 like a glove! The only potential downfall is that the cover has two mesh windows (purpose unbeknownst to me) located above the work surfaces on each side of the lid where water may seep through if exposed to rain. I use the word "potential" because if your grill is housed in a covered area (as is ours) this really isn't a problem at all. We're very happy with it and recommend it highly!!!

This fits the genisis grill perfectly. The only odd thing is it does have mesh on either side which does get the grill wet however this also keeps the air circultaing and prevents mold.
