Review on AVF EM60S Bracket Inches Silver by Jody Kashani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as intended with modification but included hardware is rubbish

Doesn't warp or bend but I had trouble with installation. My problem was the wall I was attached to. Not a single bolt in the right place which meant I had to secure it with the drywall anchors provided. Wall plugs are cheap, don't work well and I ended up never being able to use them because they pressed into the wall and screwed into it. I took a break and went to a hardware store and bought a box of heavy duty hollow wall anchors (which can hold 70 pounds each) and used those instead. They worked like a dream and I have no doubt my microwave is protected (btw my microwave weighs about 30 pounds and is 1 cubic foot). I also added a shelf to the bracket, drilling holes in the brackets and attaching a shelf to them for extra stability and support. With a little modification, this mount worked very well.

Pros
  • Brackets must be mounted to a solid wall or TWO studs - NOT drywall mount only
Cons
  • Not all will fit
