Covermates Elite Heavy-Duty AC Cover – 38W x 38D x 40H, 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.

Was very impressed with this AC cover, as the material was very tight knit, durable and could tell wouldn’t weather in a short period of time! The plus advantage is that it can securely attach around the AC, and can tighten accordingly! No space for debris to find its way in! Also, has an insulated thread which will keep the warmth intact during winter months! For myself, am very pleased with my purchase!

High quality, easy to put on, fits perfectly! Velcro plus straps keeps this very secure.

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 like how it is made and how it fits. It leaves about two inches of space on the bottom uncovered, but I think that might not be a bad thing - it provides ventilation so that water doesn't condense inside the unit due to the cover, which would cause rust. It also had ventilation flaps. I've used the cheap generic covers on units before. So, having used both, I find that this cover is a little pricey, but well worth it.

This product was easy to install, fits very nicely, and covers the unit complete. There are two draw straps that will keep it secured to the unit for the season.

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.

Fits perfectly, appears to be well made.

Fit perfectly, and excellent quality. Nice Velcro strips to close an opening access strip, and good securement straps. Arrived super quickly.

Great Cover, fit well and very satisfied .

This arrived very quickly and is perfect for my air conditioner. Fits perfectly and looks very nice I am very happy with this cover

better than the cheap big box covers
