Classic Accessories Veranda Grill Cover Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "It covered my trusty old grill for 5 years OUTSIDE in PHOENIX, AZ."
• "I have a 15 year old Weber Grill I have used these covers on for years. They will last 2 or 3 seasons but for the price they are well worth it."
• "For the price I can replace when needed compared to other covers that would cost 3 times the money."
• "It takes approximately 7 and half years of relentless sun, ~8 hrs a day, for it to eventually get brittle and tear, requiring replacement."
• "The material is thicker than previous covers that only last a couple seasons. Water tight and wind proof so far. Good value and quality."
• "This is the second Veranda Grill Cover I have purchased. It is very durable and waterproof. The first one lasted 5 years."
• "This is my second grille cover. The first one successfully endured 9 years of Florida sun, heat and humidity."

Cons:

• "After the first 12 months it was at the end of its service life. After 18 it was literally falling to pieces."
• "After about a year, a heavy rain storm will absolutely destroy the cover as the picture shows."
• "Within 6 months it’s already falling apart, even though I’m careful when putting it on and taking it off."
• "The material becomes brittle and tears after one season )-:"
• "Rather disappointed this grill cover only lasted 18 months."
• "The lower fastening straps disintegrated the 1st season, now 24mos in and the whole upper portion of the cover is disintegrating and has large holes in it from full sun exposure."
• "This cover didn't last nearly as long as my last cover. Fabric already wore thin and developed a hole within 10 months."

Design and Features

Pros:

• "This cover is excellent, heavyweight quality, fits great and costs around $60.00 less!"
• "It secures well to the BBQ/grill with bottom straps."
• "I love that it comes in a beige color."
• "Having a zippered pouch on this cover is a HUGE PLUS! We use it all the time and it has held up perfectly."
• "The handles are study and make removing and installing the cover a breeze."
• "It includes a pocket for storing utensils and other items."
• "Love the straps that hold it in place around wheels."

Cons:

• "At some point the seam near the bottom where it goes from light to dark color fabric gets caught when removing the cover."
• "After a year it began to tear because the quality of the material broke down and weakened."
• "But after 1 year, when lifting off the grill, it would rip when it caught on a corner of the grill."
• "It's so large and heavy it's rather cumbersome to remove and replace on the grill."
• "This cover doesn't leave the black film on the grille that we have experience with other covers."
• "Because of the holes one star."
• "A 12-inch section of seam came apart right at the 1-year mark."

Customer Service and Warranty

Pros:

• "After being exposed to the elements for 2 years I noticed a split in my cover. A simple email to Classic Accessories resulted in a brand new cover in less than a week."
• "I've received two additional covers through the incredibly hassle-free warranty process."
• "The warranty is excellent though and it has been replaced each time."
• "I contacted Classic Accessories and they honored the 3 year warranty! No hassle, no problems."
• "Much to my surprise they DID HONOR the warranty and shipped a new cover to me within a few days!"
• "This is my second Veranda Grill Cover I purchased. They stand behind their 3 year warranty."
• "If it disintegrates before the three year warranty is up they will gladly send you a new one."

Cons:

• "customer service is terrible they don’t answer when it comes to warranty issues as it’s supposed to be covered by a three year warranty but they never answer to get replacement sent."
• "The 3 year limited warranty doesn't really mean anything."
• "I called the company to see if this was a defect and if they could send a replacement... after getting my picture and saying that they would contact me, it was radio silence."
• "While the company did send a replacement the first time we purchased it, this one has not lasted 18 months either."
• "If you're more than 3 years beyond your initial purchase date, they won't replace it and you are on your own to purchase another one."
• "It's been well over a month and I haven't received anything. I tried contacting customer service but received no response."
• "Please read LONG-TERM reviews before considering purchasing any covers sold by this company. In under 18 months, both covers totally disintegrated."

Material Quality

Pros:

• "This product was beautiful…at first. Now I acknowledge I live in Arizona, but my grill was under a ramada with heavy shade cloth."
• "The material is thick with a woven feel and water beads up and runs off well."
• "The material and workmanship is outstanding, really."
• "It is made with what appears to be heavy duty material (in other words, it's not the cheap vinyl you see being sold at some retail stores), and I expect it will easily last as long as the other two purchases (3 years and counting)."
• "Very high quality product. This is the second cover I've bought for my grill. The first one lasted over 2yrs in the AZ sun before it was finally shredded in a wind storm."
• "The construction is fantastic, the stitching, the quality and strength of the material is like no other cover I've ever owned, has held up in all types of weather and actually very nice looking."
• "Product is a much heavier gauge cover than expected for the cost."

Cons:

• "This cover is one of nicest looking but worst performing covers I have ever owned/used. It is NOT waterproof."
• "The material is thinner than the last one and is not waterproof."
• "Take notice of how thin the material is. This is not a heavy duty canvas product."
• "This canvas cover is very heavy and stiff, making it hard to put on. I was happy to make the effort, thinking the cover would be durable. Not so. It developed a large rip after only 2 years."
• "The material is thinner than previously on this same cover. It only lasted 2 years and the previous one lasted 3 and a half years."
• "This product is not sun resistant!! Quality is poor. Ours has been on the BBQ since May 2023. Now April 2023 it has already fallen apart!!!"
• "Florida weather Is not kind to any thing that’s outside made of canvas. Less than seven months and already have a rip in it."
