This is a very good cover for the Weber Performer grill. It's very well made in a number of ways. It's a good thickness and made of a rubberized material so it's ready for heavy-duty weather. It stays flexible and doesn't crack in the cold (we don't get very cold winters here in DC, but it seems to work below freezing). It's also well assembled and fits the grill perfectly. It even has a small mesh window over the kettle part of the grill...either so you can see what color your grill is or to let moisture out, you decide.

The only negative I have to report is that the cover smells a bit funny when you receive it (the rubber I think). Fortunately, the smell goes away after a few days.

Overall, I'd say this is an excellent cover at a good price. Initially I was hesitant to get this since I thought some of the cheaper covers I've seen around would be just fine. I'm glad I decided to get this one. I think it will last much longer than the other (thinner, less flexible) ones I've seen and the fit is much better which just looks better when the grill is sitting covered in the backyard.

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your purchase!

I recently bought this cover for our grill. It's well made of what appears to be very durable material, and it fits the grill well. In addition to keeping the grill protected from the elements, the cover does an excellent job of keeping the rain from filling the ash-catching pot with water--a truly annoying problem for those of us who are too lazy/forgetful to empty the pot after using the grill.

This is a very nice grill cover! It is well worth every penny. We live in a very windy area and I wasn't going spend money on a fancy cover that would get all ripped up in the wind. I was just going to buy a small tarp and tie it around the grill as well as possible, but now I'm glad I didn't. To begin with, the cover fits the grill so well I haven't had to tie it on at all - especially since it comes down so low and covers the legs. Second, the material is very heavy duty and will stand up to the beating the wind will give it much better that the tarp would have. So far, it has stood up to a foot of snow and 50 MPH winds and come out like a champ. Well worth the money I spent. I am very pleased.

If you need a cover for your Performer grill, buy this one. Heavy duty, fits well...don't waste your money on cheap covers. This one is great!

This is a top quality product and that is consist with Weber merchandise. They put high grade materials in everything they put their name on. I have had this cover for 7 years and it has worked flawlessly. Would HIGHLY recommend buying if you need a cover for you Weber Performer.

This grill cover was not what I expected. I bought it to replace the one that came with the grill. The original equipment was heavy duty and covered the entire unit down to the ground. The one I bought through Amazon was lightweight, did not cover the entire unit and seems likely to blow away if it gets very windy. It's better than nothing, but not by much.

This was a replacement cover. Unlike the original it does not have a velcro tab that goes around one of the legs to keep it from blowing away in the wind. It also does not have air vents around the grill cover as the original did. Although the Weber logo is on the cover, it seems like a "generic"

This grill and cover are simply awesome. If you like cooking on charcoal and don't like the hastle of starting it, the gas starter makes this grill perfect.
The cover fits easily and snuggly and both are a joy to use !

Great product. Had a hard time finding this replacement grill cover. It is perfect. It does not have the vents on the original I purchased but it works and fits fine. A good deal, worth the cost and I appreciate that the transaction we smoothly and quickly! Thanks!

Fits perfectly, very well made, great quality. Worth the money, IMHO.
