After using the WeCooper Mini Split Ground Stand for my 18,000 BTU Senville Leto, I can confidently say it's a game-changer. The heavy-duty galvanized steel construction feels incredibly sturdy once bolted down, and it holds the condenser unit securely. No more worrying about flimsy plastic stands collapsing under pressure!
The powder-coated finish is a nice touch, though I decided to spray paint mine honey bronze for a personalized look. The stand raises the unit 17 inches off the ground, protecting it from water, snow, and debris - perfect for harsh Canadian winters.
Assembly was straightforward - just unfold and tighten a few bolts. However, I did notice some wobbliness before mounting the condenser unit. Once loaded with weight though, it becomes rock solid. The adjustable rubber pads help minimize vibration noise effectively.
My only complaint? The included bolts started showing rust within a month. I had to apply rust-resistant paint as an extra precaution. Also worth noting - while marketed for units up to 36,000 BTU, some users report issues with larger units.
For most standard mini-split systems (9,000-24,000 BTU), this stand offers excellent value. It's significantly more stable than plastic alternatives and should last years with proper maintenance. Just be prepared to potentially upgrade the hardware if you live in particularly wet climates.
