Review on Sanus Advanced Tilt Premium Mount by Bobby Aghetoni

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Get ready for a Kafkaesque journey!

If you have metal studs in your wall (are you sure?) you're buying a very expensive and impractical paperweight until you buy a metal stud kit. Yes, and this kit does not include the required washers, so be sure to purchase them separately. Oh, and the washer size is in metric units in the instructions. So make sure you either do a math conversion to US or wait until you get a kit and take the bolt to the hardware store and try a few different washers until you find the right one. . Oh, you'll also need a fairly large 1/2" drill bit (otherwise you're not installing anything), so make sure you have one before you buy this one. Oh, and if you don't have a spike finder, just buy one before you buy this one. Oh, and buy some drywall epoxy ahead of time because you'll probably poke a few holes. Ultimately I am convinced that Sanus and the manufacturers of the metal bolt kit are trying to absolve themselves of legal liability if your TV falls. and kills the child by intentionally omitting key elements of the assembly process in this expensive set. So if you don't buy the right wall mount kit, Sanus lawyers will say you didn't install the wall mount properly. If you buy a metal rod installation kit (which lacks washers) and either proceed without washers or buy the wrong washers, the lawyers for the metal rod installation kit manufacturer will argue that you installed the wall mount incorrectly. because you deviated from the instructions. At least the item is hanging on my wall and everything seems fine, but don't count on buying a kit that has everything you need to install this wall mount. I had to spend about $50 and make 3 trips to the hardware store just to hang this on the wall. Ridiculous.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
