1. An outdoor unit of an air conditioner comprising:
a heat exchanger that generates water while the outdoor unit operates;
a base below the heat exchanger and including:
a first part including a drain hole extending through the first part and corresponding to the heat exchanger so as to receive a first portion of the water generated by the heat exchanger, and
a second part having a step difference with the first part so as to receive a second portion of the water generated by the heat exchanger; and
a leg below the base to support the base and including:
a first panel that includes a first panel portion that is spaced apart from the base and inclined with respect to a direction in which the first portion of the water is discharged through the drain hole so that the first portion of the water discharged through the drain hole is received on the first panel portion and flows downward along the first panel portion, and a second panel portion that comes into contact with an outer surface of the base to support the base,
a second panel that extends down from the first panel, and
a third panel that is bent from the second panel and allows the leg to be supported on the ground.
