Covermates Air Conditioner Cover - Lightweight Material, Water and Weather Resistant, Air Conditioner Cover - Khaki

This is an excellent cover. We purchased it to protect our new outdoor Carrier air conditioner (A/C) during the harsh NY winters. I needed to select which cover we should purchase. I didn't want something cheap that would deteriorate quickly, but I didn't want to spent a fortune either. Researching on Amazon and online, CoverMates appeared to be a good choice.CoverMates offers three tiers of covers. The cheapest model is their Classic series, which is constructed of vinyl. This was out, for us. We've been through many vinyl BBQ covers. The winter snow and temperature variations reduce their life to only a few years. They become brittle and crack easily after only a few years. The next line up is this cover, which they call the Elite series. Constructed of Polyester, it offers a more robust material that should hold up well to the outdoor elements. The top of the line is their Ultima cover. The Ultima is a dyed polyester, which I have to admit, I don't know exactly how the Ultima dyed polyester differs from the Elite polyester. The price was a bit rich for what we budgeted to spend, so we chose the Elite cover over the Ultima.We received the Elite cover quickly. Opening it, the material felt thick and solid enough to withstand the weight of a foot of snow, which will probably pile up on the A/C unit during the heart of winter. After a rain storm, I went outside to look at the cover. Water beads up and rolls off quite nicely.Installation was excellent. My wife and I stretched it out to wrap over the A/C unit and were very pleased to see its height and size were a perfect fit. The bottom of the cover has an elastic-type band within the skirt that causes it to hug under the bottom of the unit, keeping it firmly in place. There's no chance even an excessive wind storm is going to loft this cover up and over the A/C unit. Stepping back and viewing it after it was installed, we were both very impressed and pleased with our purchase. It’s color is also nice—a neutral beige. The Classic cover is green and the Ultima cover is black.I'm very active with Amazon reviews. If I find this product is anything less than five stars or I experience anything that should be added to this review, I'll update it immediately. If you see no update, then the cover is still working great and we still recommend it to others.

I've got a cube-shaped ACU, so finding the proper fit cover has been very difficult. Most covers come in vague "large square" size, which really means an odd rectangle of arbitrary proportions that require bunching up excess material. This cover fit almost perfectly (I had to go 1 inch larger) and also has elastic in the base to help keep it tight to the unit. The straps have a nice buckle and are attached to the cover, which is a big improvement over some of the cheaper "heavy duty" covers that are never the right length and just kind of wrap around and use S-hooks, so again a big improvement. The vents on the side seem like they should help prevent mold, although I've never had that problem in the past with the cheap covers. The material feels heavy grade, but the color is a big of a "greenish" hue from what I expected for a neutral beige, so if you are very particular about color matching your siding it might not be perfect for that. Although this is more than what I wanted to spend on an ACU cover, I think it is well-built and only time will tell if it will last against the elements. My big concern is the elastic bands might lose elasticity or the buckles might become brittle. I expect to at least get 3 seasons out of this cover.

I had an old cover for a different A/C condenser that didn't fit quite right - so I did a lot of searching, and came across several from the cover store. I selected the one I liked the best, and when I received it I was very pleasantly surprised! It fit perfectly, had several bands with clasps around it, bot just the skinny elastic type bands the other's I've tried had. It also has Velcro in several areas so you can leave openings for the piping and power connections, while still covering the rest of the unit. Looks great, feels good and durable, and fits like a glove. Very happy to have it as we head into winter time here in the northeast...

The item is well made and fits perfectly over the A/C. I would advise that you order up a size though. Our unit is 23X23 and this one which is a bit larger fits snugly. We'll see how it does over the winter, but for now it should keep out the leaves and hopefully any critters that desire a place to crawl into. The Velcro to open around the hosing is a nice feature, but with the amount of hoses on the unit, the cover would not close around them (snaps would be better). I used a clothespin to fasten the opening back together around the hosing that leads to the house. I was a bit surprised how much A/C covers cost, but this one is a good way to go if you want a quality cover at a good price.

I wasn't sure about getting the 24W x24D size, since that's the exact size of my air conditioner. It's recommended to get a cover 2 inches larger, but the next size up would have been way too big. I took a chance, ordered this size, and I'm so happy I did. One side opens up due to velcro closures, which makes it easy to dress the AC unit. I placed the velcro side to the back of the unit, where the electrical lines run to the house. The fit is great! It's a very good quality cover. My husband was pleased and said, "good job" for purchasing it!

After hunting around in the local big box stores and not finding a cover that fit my unit, I searched Amazon and found what I hoped would be an adequate cover. When it arrived, it was very well packaged and it was much nicer than the ones I saw in the local stores. I was hesitant because the price was more that I thought I should spend but once I actually received it and placed it on the unit, I feel it was well worth the price. I anticipate getting many years of use out of the cover. It's been raining and snowing for the past several weeks in my area. The cover repels water and there is no seepage. It was very easy to place on the unit. It's also been very windy and the cover has not blown off. It is an exceptionally nice cover. I will look to this manufacturer for more covers for other outdoor items I own. In short, well made, easy to install, well worth the price.

i like material, dislike color

I received my new cover promptly and it appears to be well made. It is not time to cover my air conditioning condenser yet, so I don't know how well it fits, protects, and looks.

Great product. Perfect fit.

we like because is true to the add. Great material for the money. Great warranty for free. Thanks again

Fits perfectly, does not stand out in landscape.

Fits great, i use it when mowing also. it keeps the grass out of the cooling coils.

Great cover

The quality is very good. Almost exceptional. The versatility of the opening for electrical power and copper line still allows for a rather tight seal.

Covered like it was custom made.

Mice chewed the entire bottom and I had to cut 4-6 inches off all around. They used it to build a nest inside my new AC unit.
