Covermates Armor Top A/C Cover

Covermates Armor Top Air Conditioner CoverThe cover fits the dimensions of my A/C unit, but when installed with the bungee cords it tends to slide around. No matter how I’ve adjusted it and changed bungee tension I can’t get it to stay centered on A/C. It keeps sliding off to the sides. I bought this because I didn’t want to cover the entire unit, just protect the top from ice and snow, but this cover isn’t going to do it. Ok cover quality but poor design to attach to A/C. So basically…

Pros
  • Works just like the picture. Nice and thick will probably last a few years!
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other covers on the market

Elements out, AC safe.

Seems to have survived the Minnesota winter pretty well. Very water repellent. This is the largest I could get and it just covered the top of our ac unit, which was what I wanted, but measure before ordering.

Pros
  • Great product, easy to install, keeps pine straw and leaves from my A/C units.
Cons
  • Does not stay in place well

Covermates "armor? " top cover

The cover does not contain armor. I believe it to be plastic as it bends quite easily, but could add a bit more resistance to icicles falling on top of the condenser unit. I got the larger cover that says covers up to 42 inch square unit, but I have a 36 inch square unit and this cover barely covers the open grill fan area, slightly covering the rest of the top of the unit.

Pros
  • Fits good, easy to install. Does the job.
Cons
  • Not durable

Fantastic cover on my review.

You need to cover that would be fine enough to block off that Paul and dust from the cedar tree and this works great That's my feedback.

Pros
  • A+
Cons
  • Weak stitching

I purchased this cover in May of 2017 and it still looks like brand new 5 years later. I cover my A/C unit for 7 to 8 months each year from October thru April or May. Unfortunately, the 4 bungee cords that the vendor originally supplied did not have enough tension to keep the cover from lifting off and moving around on the A/C unit in a strong wind. After the first year I replaced the vendor supplied bungee cords with eight 9" rubber ones (2 at each corner) that have much more tension and this…

Pros
  • Covered my HVAC so those stupid acorn the tree drops would stop going inside :s Oh and the leaves X.x
Cons
  • Limited ventilation for AC unit

Pine needles, ice, and animals out. Looks professional.

Works great! My a/c unit is next to a big white pine that sheds needles everywhere. I bought this mesh cover for the midwest winters this year bc my a/c unit was just installed. I dont have to worry about little wild animals burrowing under a cover.

Pros
  • Just bought it was easy to put on hope looks good! Seems to be durable!
Cons
  • Not effective at protecting AC from harsh weather

Effective but OVERPRICED!

Very sturdy mesh that covers top of AC compressor. Effectively kept leaves and debris out of the unit and held up over the winter. I would not recommend leaving it on when the unit is running, too much air flow restriction. Would have given 5 stars but way overpriced for what it is.

Pros
  • We were very pleased with your product it was exactly what we were looking for
Cons
  • Limited customer support available

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overpriced for what it is.

Bought this Covermate "Ultima" top air conditioner cover for my new Ruud A/C condenser.It is fairly thin overall including the "armor plates". I think it would keep the leaves from falling in but other than that nothing special. I do think that at $73.99 it was overpriced for what it is.

Pros
  • Fit perfect over the a/c unit
Cons
  • Minimal protection from debris or falling objects

Not quite the size advertised

The product is all right, but several inches smaller than the size it was advertised. It does not fit over the top of the air conditioner the way it was supposed to. Be aware of its smaller dimensions if you are tempted to order one.

Pros
  • Great cover on my new ac unit...took 5 minutes to put on....works great...
Cons
  • Bulky and difficult to store

Effective cover at a great price

Great for keeping leaves and "helicopters" out of the unit. And if you forget to take these off in the spring its not a problem as the mesh fabric breathes and allows the air to pass through.

Pros
  • Does a good job and fits well on my C/A Unit.
Cons
  • Not visually appealing

This is exactly what I was looking for, we get a lot of snow in MI. and the size is perfect, it's not easy to fine the smaller size. The material seems very durable I'm sure it will last for years!

Pros
  • Perfect
Cons
  • No warranty or guarantee offered

Nice cover on my review.

Very well made cover. Made from quality materials. You can get cheaper covers, but you get what you pay for. Cheap covers are cheap for a reason.

Pros
  • prefect for my small AC Keep clean
Cons
  • May not fit all AC units securely

Excellent Quality product, could have better cords

Excellent Quality product that should hold up well to the Pittsburgh winter. 'Bungee' cords are of good quality and allow for easy attachment, but I will likely need to replace them after 1-2 seasons. They are not the solid rubber cords that are used by truckers. Arrived Quickly.

Pros
  • Gives protection to the top of my air conditioner, without being bulky.
Cons
  • Flimsy construction

Looks good so far on my review.

Just purchased this air conditioner "topper". It is made a good medium duty material and fit just fine with the included bungee cords. Looks like it fits our needs perfectly.

Pros
  • Keeps the fan area clean. Very satisfied.
Cons
  • Attracts wildlife and insects

Not allowing air to flow

As much as I wanted this to work, Product does not allow full air flow regardless of what the description says. Returning after using for less than a month.

Pros
  • This product fit nicely on our air conditioner and has kept the debri out of the compressor
Cons
  • Difficult to install

Very good buy! best in my review

I researched to see what I needed to do to protect my air conditioner. This one allows the sides to breath while protecting the top from dirt. Very good buy!

Pros
  • NA
Cons
  • Limited sizes available

So simple but so useful

This cover is self explanatory. My only question is why I didn’t get this years ago. 5 minutes to install will prevent me from cleaning leaves out of the unit in the spring.Highly recommend this cheap simple solution.

Pros
  • very good
Cons
  • Inaccurate color representation
