Not sure where you’re looking at but Amazon has them for $100 or less, I wouldn’t buy the cheapest one but I’d buy by rating. Just type in “outdoor tv cover or patio tv cover”

They make waterproof covers (like a grill cover) that are relatively cheap. A few of my neighbors have them, seem to work fine even after a few seasons of use.

It’s The way you worded it, it’s like as if the house will burn down and all their kids will die the first time they use it. Yes Rigid is way better and it’s what I would use if I were to redo my laundry. Ive worked on commercial laundry equipment for 13 years and have seen that flex in hundreds of locations, that type of flex is totally safe to use as long as it’s not kinked and installed properly.

That venting is fine, stop trying to scare OP.

No!
