After using the Memrita Mini Split Pad for my outdoor AC condenser, I can confidently say it gets the job done—but with a few caveats.
The Good: The pad is surprisingly sturdy for being made of plastic. I was skeptical at first, but it holds my heavy condenser unit (well under its 300 lb limit) without flexing. The textured surface keeps the unit from sliding, and the ribbed underside helps with self-leveling on uneven ground. Installation was a breeze—just plop it down on dirt or grass (more on that later).
Real-World Use: During a recent storm with heavy winds, my condenser stayed perfectly in place. The pad’s lightweight design (compared to concrete) made repositioning easy when I needed to adjust the unit’s location. It’s also held up well against oil leaks from my older AC unit, just as advertised.
The Not-So-Good: At this price point, I expected perfection—but the bottom isn’t completely flat. While this isn’t an issue on soft ground, it wobbles noticeably on concrete or pavers (which defeats the purpose for some installations). Also frustrating: no included hardware to secure your equipment, despite drillable design.
Who It’s For: Ideal if you need a quick, no-fuss base for outdoor units on natural surfaces. Not worth it if you have perfectly level concrete already or expect premium materials at this price.
Final Verdict: Does what it promises, but shop around—you might find cheaper alternatives unless you specifically need plastic’s advantages over concrete.
