Reviews of Weber 9986 Premium Cover

Customer Ratings:

While I wouldn't disagree with the five star praise here for the fit and overall quality of this cover, I have one continuing (and not insignificant) problem: it regularly blows off my Performer grill on even modestly windy days, to say nothing of the gusts that get kicked up during a good rainstorm. As a result, my grill gets a thorough soaking anyway while the cover gets blown halfway across my yard. Only the heavy weight of the vinyl has kept it from sailing away completely. I've tried laying bricks on the cover, over the flat, table area of the grill, which does help--but the half of the cover that actually covers the grill portion gets blown off anyway! (And, by the way, I live in NYC, not exactly a locale renowned for windy weather.) I wish that Weber had provided either an elasticized bottom for this cover, or some grommets near the bottom that would allow you to anchor it with a bungee or two.

So, all in all, while this is a spiffy looking cover for your awesome Performer grill (and the only real choice available), just be prepared to chase it around your yard.

You would think waxing rhapsodic about a grill cover would be silly, but this one actually deserves it. It is a thick, heavy material with a cloth-like texture embossed into the surface. It fits the Performer perfectly, without leaving gaps to billow in the wind, but not so tight that it doesn't go back on easily. It also goes all the way down to the base, which means that items stored on the lower grate (gloves, fire extinguisher, and extra tools, in my case) are kept clean and dry.

I usually think that grill covers are overpriced, but this one is actually worth twice the price. It really is that good.

Honest reviews on Weber 9986 Premium Cover

This COVER Fits the Performer charcoal grills perfectly. Be sure you get the model 9986 that is made to fit over the cooking dome. There are other covers that look like they may fit (i.e. model 7455) but you may not be happy.

The MODEL 9986 looks nice with the Weber logo and extends almost to the bottom of the unit, protecting the grill for rain..... also, one should not be concerned that a strong wind could cause the cover to blow off....

Fairly heave, so I expect it to last for some time. I do wish that it was longer so that it covered the wheels also. Oh well. Glad I purchased it.
