Alpine Hardware Premium Heat Pump Drillless Drill-Less Window Air Conditioner & Heat Pump Bracket - Window AC Support - Supports Air Conditioners Well Over 200 lbs. - No Drilling 2023 Model

Lo recomiendo al 100% es muy fuerte y muyyy practico

Do yourself a favor, go to YouTube and watch the instruction tutorial for this. The instructions are a nightmare to understand, and there are random pieces included (anchors that are different sizes and wouldn’t fit into the holes you are suppose to drill with a VERY specific drill bit). I was trying to start the install of this based on the directions alone and I was VERY close to hiring someone. Then I watched the video tutorial that was about 2 minutes long and it took me about 10 minutes to get in (probably would have gone faster, but I have a VERY curious 3-year-old). Otherwise, it does what it is suppose to, ad helps to support our 6500Btu 58lb air conditioner.

This Alpine A/C support bracket is well designed and well made. It is held together with bolts and screws, which make this adjustable bracket very sturdy. I ordered this bracket, because I had to return an Ivation bracket that was very poorly welded together and used cheap spring pins for adjustments.

Works as designed and presented.

This bracket is supposed to be easy to assemble and install- it’s one of the most difficult pieces I’ve ever had to put together. The metal is so soft it strips so when you’re adjusting the prices to fit your window it gets harder to adjust each time. The legs with rubber stoppers that are supposed to support the outside of the bracket swing free and there’s zero tension for them to stay at an angle against the wall for support. I thought about using construction glue to keep it in place and rig it so it was safe but at this point I’ll just save my money and return the item because there’s no sense dumping more money into something that was supposed to work alone. Another thing that is annoying is that the instructions are awful- the hardware isn’t labeled and you have to guess what goes where and when watching the video on youtube for visual aid, they show the brackets being stable at an angle which is a lie- and you can’t comment on the video to ask questions. Fed up and done with this thing- in the middle of a heat wave and miserable.

As the title states, this is one of the worst purchases I have ever made. From a design and metal quality standpoint it’s fine, but trying to put this thing together took literally hours, and that was with two people. The included directions might as well not exist, and the video for it is also an absolute disaster, it should banned from YouTube. There was not enough hardware included to build it properly, so I was only able to use 75% of the included screwsolts. I have absolutely 0 clue what its actually doing in my window right now or if it’s even really holding up the air conditioner. I was able to eventually cobble it together, but that was only after taking it apart and putting it back together about 5x... Both the directions and the video show you how to build the item, and then in the following steps essentially tell you to completely take it apart again. • If you hate yourself enough to buy this item, or you are really desperate and live in an apartment like I do where you can’t readily drill into your windows, I advise watching the video IN FULL (don’t bother reading the directions they were written by someone with wet brain), from start to finish, several times.... And while building this thing, if you find yourself with not enough hardware, pray. Just pray and believe and hope that this thing will stay together and not come crashing down and take out the persons AC who lives below you.

Although it says it fits 24 to 38, I installed it in my 21 window and it fits securely for my smaller A/C unit. Installed through the window and against the inner trim. I bought 4 total, and the others are mounted in the actual window channel, which eliminates the 3 air gap under the bracket that you need to seal up to prevent hot air from coming back in. Not sure what other customers were complaining about with the quality, like the picture of the 45 degree legs dangling straight down. I suspect they had the support legs installed backwards. There is a lip on one end of the support legs to prevent them from dropping down. Not sure why anyone would drill holes into their window sills, unless it was a permanent installation. But if you need A/C year round, a unit installed in the existing heating system is the way to go. But if you only need it in the summer months, these are the brackets to use and not make your window sills look like crap for the other 8 months of the year. It may be a little overkill for an 8000 BTU unit, but it is solid.

Great for window a/c of any sixe.

Easy assembly, strong and durable!

After struggling with the limited instructions to assemble, the stand was plenty strong for my A/C. Id be quicker to recommend this if they included step by step instructions and better small parts I.D. I had to use two 2×4s nailed together to shim the stand but I felt confident when my friend and I lifted the rather heavy (81 lbs.) unit onto it.
