This fit my new style Performer grill perfectly. Doesn't blow off in the wind, either. One small issue is that rain water will pool on top of it over the counter part of the grill. Mosquitoes will breed in this water pool. Try putting something on top of the counter, like a small plate, then cover the grill. The plate will tent up the cover, making the water run off.

I am happy with this cover. It fits perfectly on my 2008 Weber Performer model #848001 which is the dark blue model. No problems with the fit. We get very high winds in the winter, and so far have not had any super bad winds, but I've had good luck so far by simply placing a couple of vinyl tipped metal construction spring clips at apposing corners around the legs of the Performer. I can't see how it could blow off with the 2 clips in place. When I take it off to use the Performer, I simply fold it up loosely and put it in the fold out charcoal hamper with my bag of charcoal. Seems well made. No Problems. I recommend it.

Even though the product description says that it fits 2005 and newer grills, I can verify that it fits my 1999-era Weber 761001 22 1/2-Inch One-Touch Platinum Charcoal Grill, Black just fine. After 14 years, the original Weber cover that I bought was stiff and cracked and falling apart from exposure to the sun, rain, and snow of Wisconsin, so it was high time to replace it.

After so many years, I had forgotten just how flexible the fabric on the cover was. It's much easier to get the cover on an off when it hasn't shrunk and gotten stiff from age! It does have a tendency to balloon in a wind, so putting a piece of firewood on the top will keep the cover from blowing off and landing somewhere downwind.

There are two things I would change about this cover:

1) a vent of some kind at the top, so that the wind would flow throw instead of ballooning it, or alternately, some clips or velcro straps to secure it to the grill legs. I might add some grommets and velcro straps to do just that.

2) a change in the sewing pattern or something that would keep the part that covers the table from becoming a puddling spot for water. I would guess this ages the vinyl prematurely, plus it collect dirt and debris which makes it get dirty easier, and if left for an extended period of time, the puddle of water could attract mosquitos. I think I can get around this by putting something on the table before covering it so that the cover tents over it and makes the rain runoff instead of puddling.

Overall, I think it was worth the extra money to buy a Weber-branded cover. It's made well and it fits the grill perfectly. The guy at Ace Hardware mentioned that the Weber-branded covers are made better, which is why mine lasted as long as it did. If you get several more years of use from a higher-cost cover, the difference in cost is worth it in my opinion.

Honest reviews on Weber Performer Grill Cover

This cover fits great on our '07 grill, no complaints there. However in the short time we have had it, it has blown away twice. Thankfully we found it both times, but we are definitely planning on putting some ties on it so that we can keep it on the grill. I know these crazy Kansas winds don't help, but I guess I'm disappointed that Weber didn't think of that themselves.

If you have the new style Weber this cover fits like a glove.

Since this item has a table that is flat, I put a piece of foam

on the table so rain runs off the cover.

The cover won't stay sloped like the picture, rain will flatten the cover.

It does not leak, but I'm sure after a year or two you may have to put

water repellent on like thy use on tents, if that matters to you.

A year later, 6/3/2012, it steal works like new, no leaks. It's been out all this time.
