This product is exactly what I would expect from Weber. The fit quality was perfect. You are sure to get what you pay for from Weber, no more, no less. This is a $50 cover. The material is of good quality and should hold up to most moderate weather conditions. I do not expect this cover to outlast my Weber Summit S-650. I'm ok spending another $50 for a cover 5 years from now to protect my investment. Other options include purchasing a cheap <$20 cover which is nothing more than a fitted tarp, or a Custom fitted marine grade cover for >$200. The Weber cover is a happy medium that should last many years.

I purchased this because it is the one designed for my Weber summit-s670. I don't know if there are better universal fit heavier duty designs out there, but this one is strong enough. The feature I was looking for was the custom fit which complimented the grill. The universal types tend to bunch up all over the place, looking awkward and not fitting snug enough to hold up on windy days. This one also included vented panels to prevent any condensation from occuring inside.

This covers has a vent panel on each top side which allows rain to get in. Real dumb. Defeats the whole purpose. I now have another cover under the weber cover to prevent the rain from getting in. They should show a closer picure of the vents.

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS COVER and heed the advice of the low raters! The vent screens are two squares that are positioned right above the side shelves. Rain/snow/wet gets in, runs down the side walls of the unit, inside and out, floods the drip pan and makes huge greasy messes inside the bottom cabinet. My normally calm, even-keeled wife has been screaming curses at Weber on several occassions cleaning up these aftermath. (FYI: I discovered this review while looking for a new cover.) I love, love my S-650 grill (the best ever), Weber's are always great, but this design is just plain moronic. They should've had oversized flaps stitched at the tops and covering the screens with a dart stitch at each bottom corner. This way the rain would've stayed out but they could still vent. Several months ago I was told by one of the Weber employees (Ella) that they were aware of the complaints and when a new cover was designed they'd replace the old covers. This has turned out to be a complete untruth and nothing is being done despite repeated calls. All my past Weber covers never had a vent. Why now? Weber, you need to go back to the drawing board on this one. Shame on you for contributing to the ruination of my $2,000 grill! Hey, wait? Is there a plan here? :O Don't say I didn't warn you.

Fits perfectly on my Summit 650 w/ velcro on each side to help it stay put.
Downside is that there are ventilation screens over each side (just above each shelf). When it rains/dews, water seeps through and you end up with spotted areas....especially if you don't often uncover and wipe it down.

It's a nice looking and fitting cover made of quality material. It does have the vents on the top/side that will let water in but, hey, it's an outside BBQ.

The premium cover is a great fit and my husband loves the protection it offers his new Weber grill

THERE ARE 2 VENTS IN THE TOP OF THIS COVER, which is not reflected in the photo on the box. Water gets in and the woman in customer service advised me to "just wipe it off when it stops raining." What?? Needless to say, I am surprised that such a class company would create such an idiotic cover.

Very nice item, but is a storage cover that has to be stored out of the weather, because it has vent holes on the top of the cover on each side!
It is a very nice cover for storing under the patio! But when you pay this much for a BBQ you wouldn't want to store it out in the open anyway!!

High quality, as you'd expect and likely to last for many years. It's big but goes on easily if you're thoughtful about how you fold it when removing.
