AmazonBasics Grill Barbecue Cover Medium Reviews Summary

Material Quality

Pros:

• "Heavy duty material with a vinyl liner to keep water off the parts."
• "This grill cover is extremely well made and is waterproof."
• "The cover is made from a strong, waterproof, woven fabric with a smooth impervious backing."
• "Made of what appears to be a heavy Cordura type material."
• "The material is thick and water-proof, and the elastic band at the edges snap close."
• "The woven polyester fabric with water resistant backing remains pliable and doesn't let water into the grill."
• "The material is strong and well made. It repels water."

Cons:

• "small tears started to appear in one section of the cover about 60 days after purchase."
• "That worked well for one season, and then the vinyl started cracking."
• "Although I really like AmazonBasics products and this cover seems to be built with good materials, it’s not fully waterproof."
• "Materials, while decent initially, are the same as others I have replaced after a couple years of use."
• "A leaky grill cover that traps water on the grill is worse than no grill cover."
• "Material is heavy duty but fades fast."
• "Materials seem fairly weak vs my last cover."

Fit and Design

Pros:

• "This cover works perfectly for my Weber Spirit II E-210 grill with the side table down."
• "It looks like a custom fit cover and the seams are strong with double stitching."
• "This cover fit my grill very nicely."
• "It’s insane how well this cover fits and the thickness of the material."
• "Not specially made for my grill but fits over it with no trouble."
• "Fits my grill well. Was very meticulous about measuring the grill with the sides up and down to know how much give it would have to take on and off."
• "This cover fit my grill perfectly and I love the ability to pull the bottom a little tighter once the cover is on."

Cons:

• "Elastic bottom is nice once you get the cover on. It does make getting the cover on a bit trickier."
• "The fit is not as exact in this one."
• "For price not a bad cover but they could have made is 2 inches longer. Doesn’t cover the bottom of the Webber 200."
• "The fit is quite smaller than shown in the pictures. The cover never went to the bottom of the grill."
• "It doesn't really reach the bottom of my grill, but is otherwise very good."
• "Do wish it was a little longer as it doesn't cover the wheels on our broil king."
• "The Grill cover fit the exact dimensions that I was looking for. It was a little shorter than I expected."

Durability and Longevity

Pros:

• "It's been outside all winter and so far so good."
• "Wonderful product. We are about 6 or so months in to continuous outdoor use and the cover still looks brand new."
• "We’ve had for a little while now in rainy, stormy, and hot Florida weather and it’s held up great."
• "After rain, snow and wind always outdoors, it got a little tear. I didn't have to think, I went right back to Amazon and bought the same thing again."
• "Made it through one hot and windy summer. Cover did not fade, leak, or blow away!"
• "Withstood 50 mph winds. Stayed in place."
• "Somehow, its lasted better than the original."

Cons:

• "I've had this grill cover for just under a year now and it has not held up good at all in the extreme Chicago heat and bitter cold."
• "Unfortunately, after less than a year in the sun, it's turning white."
• "Just disappointed that the color faded so fast, because now it just looks bad."
• "The black cover is no longer black in just a couple months of SoCal weather."
• "Decent cover with thicker material, but don't expect it to last forever."
• "I would have been happy if it lasted at least a year in the Florida sun, but a couple of months is unacceptable."
• "It started to fade and dry rot within a few short months."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Wow! I must say I’m so impressed for something under $30."
• "It's well made, fits the grill and cost about 75 percent less."
• "The cost of this item is very reasonable."
• "Cheaper than the name brands but doesn't feel cheap."
• "Reasonably price better than paying $50 for the brand name."
• "I bought one of these Amazon Basics covers for under $30. I like it better."
• "Fits my Weber grill perfectly at a fraction of the cost of the Weber brand cover."

Cons:

• "I bought this less than two years ago and am replacing it already. The color faded within a few months and looked terrible at the end of the first season."
• "Utter rubbish and I want my money back."
• "Absolute garbage! Cover lasted less than a year and that’s after I fortified it with duct tape."
• "In less than 2 and a half months the sun has bleached it and destroyed it."
• "I paid around $ 61.00 for it and I feel most of the money went towards having the name Weber on it."
• "I dropped three stars because this thing rips really easy."
• "Spend the money and buy a quality product. It does its job I suppose but my grill is constantly wet after a good rain, and it has completely faded after a year."

Ease of Use

Pros:

• "Elastic bottom, just slips over the sides and goes right on."
• "Once you figure out which way is which (lol) this cover goes on easily and protects the BBQ nicely."
• "The elastic at the bottom makes for a tight fit and prevents the wind from blowing your cover off. It is a little harder to put on than a drawstring but it works much better."
• "Very easy to put on and remove."
• "It is easy to remove and goes on fairly easy, but is easier with two people."
• "It's much easier to get on and off the grill and just seems to fit very well overall."
• "Super nice cover for our grill. Gives it a complete cover without being baggy or too loose."

Cons:

• "The elastic drawstrings were too hard to put on and take off, so I replaced it with Paracord that I can cinch up after the cover is on."
• "That makes for easy on and easy off, and I am all about easy when it comes to covering my grill."
• "However the elastic cord that cinches the bottom makes taking it on and off pretty annoying."
• "The tight elastic bead around the bottom make it VERY difficult to place over the grill."
• "The elastic running around the bottom can create difficulty is getting the cover off."
• "The problem is that the lack of any sort of marking or logo on the cover itself makes what should be a 20 second project to put the cover back on the grill a 2-4 minute project."
• "Was cumbersome to put onto the grill."
