I purchased this cover for my outdoor kitchen RCS grill. The grill is under a roof and protected from the elements. I wanted this cover to protect the stainless steel grill from dust, pollen, and bugs. We have really bad pollen in the spring and my grill looked bronze without the cover.
The fitment of the cover for the RCS grill was spot on and really covers grill well. Unfortunately, the material started to fray after the first month of use. The tie downs for the grill cover handles started to fray and for the price of this product I would expect it to last much longer than a month. (I also have a Char-Broil 4 Burner Stainless Steel Grill with Side Burner, that is protected by a $15 Walmart brand cover. That cover has lasted over a year with much more rigorous use and exposure to the elements. It seems like the quality of the Walmart cover is better than the RCS Cover).
The draw string locks are also flimsy and don't really lock the stings. When a strong wind blows through the kitchen area, the cover flies off of the grill. The only thing keeping the cover from flying away are the tie downs for the grill handle. I have to tie a knot to keep the draw string locks in place and untie the string when i need to use the grill. We use the grill about 3-4 times a week, which is a hassle.
Pro's:
Good fitment for the RCS grill
Covers and protects as expected
Con's:
Quality of material is substandard, fraying of material after 1 month of use
Draw string locks don't really lock in place to keep cover securely in place
Overall this cover does the job, but the quality of materials could be much better for the price of the cover. If I could find another cover that fits for this RCS grill I would try that out instead.
