I had one griddle top rust completely because I did not put any cover on it. I won't make that mistake again, this cover is not only tough but water proof. I love it.
This is a quite durable, high quality cover that fits the griddle perfectly. I understand that without the lid accessory for the griddle, there's going to be water pooling on the top of the griddle unless you put something on top of the griddle surface before you put the cover on.
However, even though this is a very high quality cover that I expect will last many years, the straps that snap into each other are in such a dumb place that I have to knock off a couple of stars. When the cover is on the grill, and the logo is facing front, there are two long straps on the bottom front edge with a male end clip, and two female end clips sewn almost directly onto the bottom back edge. In order to securely clip the cover onto the griddle, I have to almost lay down on the patio to bring the two clips together.
I will point out that if you have this griddle set up in a position where you can access the back of the griddle, you won't have to crawl around underneath it in order to clip the cover on tightly. However, I am really annoyed with the design decision of the clips and think this cover could have gone through a couple more thorough rounds of user testing before the final design was reached.
The cover is made with strong durable tent like material with reinforced edges to protect the corners. It fits snug onto the griddle and has latches that clip together to keep it on if the wind blows.
I bought the cover to keep moisture and dust off my griddle when it is in storage. My griddle is under a roof and protected from rain, so rain is not an issue. I was very impressed when I received the cover, plastic on the underside and reinforced corners are truly an asset to the design. The non-metallic snaps will work for me, all in all it was worth the amount I paid for it and should protect the griddle for years to come.
