Much better than the original cover that came with the grill (which I've had since 2016). The original cover cracked and split from being used year-round as the grill has to remain outside.
The quality of the material, like all Weber grill covers, is durable and resilient.
The fit - as noted elsewhere, is not accommodating if the side tables are folded down as they would probably be, after use.
Unlike some of the other reviewers reacting to this limitation, I found a relatively satisfactory work around, and that is to conn ct one left-side Velcro strap to one right-side Velcro strap across the front. It doesn’t look great but it secures the cover just fine.
I would suggest to Weber that rather than redesigning the entire cover, that it be fitted with matched Velcro straps in front and back. Then there’s a user upturn to use it with any configuration of the grill.
Just bought our third cover and it is a one size fits all, too big with the side trays down. Will be looking elsewhere for a universal cover that fits the Weber grill better than Weber can offer. Why buy something we don't need? Weber slacking off.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Cover designed specifically to fit the Q3000 grill with the shelves extended. Fits perfectly, great quality. Include Velcro straps to make it nice and snug
I really like the grill cover. However I believe you should make a second cover for people who like to store the grill with the side trays in the down position
Would have preferred a cover for the grill with the trays folded down.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I don’t understand the complaints about the fit. I fold my side tables in and the cover fits perfectly. The material is the same as the cover that I have on my charcoal kettle grill and it’s been outside for 3 years! Looks good as new!
On the Q grill cover the quality is great. Size wise too big. I think it assumes that a person leaves the side tables in the horizontal position. I generally leave the side tables in the vertical or down position. Therefore, it is too bulky for me. The bottom velcro tie down strap is a great idea. Keeps the cover fastened to the grill so the wind doesn't balloon the cover and become detached. on the 26" cover this was a bygosh and wait and see purchase for me. I got it for my 18" WSM. after adding two center stack handles, a front lid handle and rear lid hinge I needed a cover to fit over that. Right now it is a bit oversized. Perhaps the 22" cover would have been a better fit. It was an experiment. The overall quality is great. I also like the tie down strap on the bottom so the wind doesn't catch it and blow it away. Only reason for the 3 stars is due to the size.
