Weber 9985 Genesis E Premium Black Cover customer reviews:
Ordered a 9985, received a 9985 I ordered this Weber 9985 to cover my new Genesis EP-310 on Monday and Grady's Ace shipped it out Tuesday well packaged. Just to be sure, before I ordered I did call to confirm they were selling the 9985 that has the vent in the top back and not the 7553 which has the vents on the sides. They confirmed it was the 9985 and they had purchased several palettes of the 9985 when they found out they were discontinued.
The cover fits great and should provide years of service in keeping the grill a little cleaner. The only down side is the price was more than the 7553 but that is supply and demand. Still, it wasn't any more than my local Home Depot charges for the 7553 they stock. Does What It's Supposed to Do I ordered this from Grady's largely due to the positive reviews for this grill cover and the negative ones for the 7553.
It definitely is a quality grill cover made of heavy material to shield my new Weber Genesis 320 from the elements. I think I may have gotten the last one seeing as how it's listed as "currently unavailable" on Amazon's/Grady's website. It also does fit fairly snug. Coincidentally, it did rain a day after I put the grill together and the cover did its job of keeping the grill dry thus protecting my investment.
I gave it 4 stars instead of five mainly because it is rather pricey. Also, it's a *grill cover* for goodness sake. It's hard to get overly excited as we haven't rediscovered the wheel or penicillin.
Bottom line...if you can find this one in a brick and mortar hardware store or online, grab it while you can. If not, you may want to look at the many non-Weber grill covers since the 7553 has gotten so many complaints. The other thing to be careful of is that alot of online merchants use the grill cover model numbers 9885 and 7553 interchangably so I would confirm with a phone call if you can before purchasing. The only way to go! I did what i always do befor i buy something that has a hefty price tag with it. i read reviews, went and looked at different gills in person to get a feel. i finally decided on the webber genesis 310. i recieved the grill the next week, took me one and half hours to put together and that was b/c i was trying to be quite due to my 16 month old son's room is above the garage. i finished at 11:30pm and wanted to start grilling, but i waited till the next day. i love the cast iron cooking grates they do such a nice job holding the heat for what ever your cooking. the grill is solid as can be, very little/no flaire ups which is important if your tring to avoid any carcinogens that happen with flaire ups. no complaints with the grill execpt on the right side where the burner knobs are it takes away from the surface area to put stuff. make sure to get the right cover too the one with the holes in the back not the sides so rain doesn't get into the grill, read reviews to find out which webber cover exactly. enjoy grilling.
