Just installed this Mini Split Ground Stand for my 18,000 BTU unit, and wow—what a game-changer! The thick steel construction feels like it could survive a hurricane, and the powder coating gives me peace of mind against rust (my last bracket corroded in a year).

Pros: The adjustability is killer—I tweaked the height to 10 inches to avoid snow pileup, and the width scaled perfectly to my unit’s footprint. The rubber pads actually work; my AC used to vibrate like a washing machine, but now it’s whisper-quiet. Bonus: The side markings made adjustments idiot-proof.

Cons: Like one reviewer mentioned, I also had to re-drill two holes—my Mitsubishi unit’s bolt pattern was slightly off. Not a dealbreaker, but keep a drill handy. Also, the instructions are barebones; YouTube saved me.

Real-talk moment: This stand’s 400lb capacity is no joke. I accidentally leaned my full weight on it during install (oops), and it didn’t even creak. Worth every penny if you want your mini-split to survive winters without eating dirt.
