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

Too many precise adjustments and configurations to be done. Its not an easy setup. After all is done you then have to figure out the size and fitting of the the sidewalls of the window to have the window closed/shut from the sides of the AC machine.

Did the job

The nuts and bolts are horrid. Not sure how this is supposed to hold 200 points when it can’t even hold itself together. Shame on the manufacturer. Returning it within 4 hours of receiving it & looking for a new one

I like the final result is strong and you not need a drill. Putting the pieces together takes time I recommend to look at the video, thats help a lot.

Wish this had some adjustability to widen out. Still works very well and gives great peace of mind as A/C is on second story. Some bolts are a little tricky to reach and you may have to press legs up to tighten after A/C installed. Overall very pleased. Its very heavy duty. As others have said watch the video and it will help. Probably took about 1/2 hour to install.

The thing you got to know before puchasing is what ac you get and try picture how its going to sit on this unit its completely flat. Make sure your ac is also flat on the bottom, wise your going to need to add with this like wood or something like that. Mine wasnt obviously.

So far its been working well

There are two issues number 1 see photos. Number 2 there is no way to seal the surrounding gaps caused by the designs lack of slot for the STANDARD lower bracket on air conditioners. The value is negated by the entire process we went through - purchase, wait, receive, unpack, layout, gather the tools, assemble, realizing the improper weld, choose to forge ahead regardless to make it work, then realizing the typical window air conditioner lower support bracket that usually sits in the window frame has nowhere to go! We missed that when looking at the design. Our fault but, never the less there is no slot for this in the design. This means you have to come up with an alternative way of closing the gap caused by the air conditioners standard lower bracket that would normally sit inside the window frame for its left and right-side wings. Total pain in the ass...period! The amount of time spent on the process is lost so it was returned. Total bummer, nowhere like the majority of what’s available here, does the ad reveal where its manufactured. We are soooooo over this same story, DECEPTION ABOUND!!!!

This bracket was purchased to hold a 80lb Kenmore A/C unit. We came into two issues. Our first issue was that the surface of the mount is slick metal. When the A/C unit asks with installation to have a slight outward tilt so that condinsation call fall outside the window. We noticed the unit was also built metal so it wanted to slide. There is no backing plate to hold in place and no items such as rubber spacers to help A/C from sliding around. So we took a board and cut it to the size of the A/C unit and screwed it to the bracket to give it less a change to slide. The next issue was the mounting screws. We followed the directions and pre-drilled the holes to mount to the window. Once installing the screws with a half dead almost powerless drill the bolts snapped. Right where the threads start. We decided to try another screw and once again it snapped. We then went to the hardware store and purchased the same size standard screws for 35cents each. We then installed bracket with no problems. Putting the provided screw next to a standard screwed we purchased you can right away notice the quality difference of the metal being used. The strength of the bracket itself seems strong. Once everything was installed I put some good amount of my weight on it and it held strong. For the price and quality I would have to say you should try another product or plan to grab some quality 35cent screws and figure a way to keep unit from sliding.

The brackets are sturdy-ish, and the hardware isnt the highest grade. But what can you expect for this price? For what it is, it does the job and does it well. Although, install was a little bit confusing due to the poorly translated instructions. I mean, you shouldnt really need to rely on the assembly directions 100% because most can look at it and see whats going on. But I found myself scratching my head a few times after reading the instructions and trying to interpret what it is exactly they want me to do. To mount to the sill, I had to utilize my own hardware, because the provided hardware stripped out (big Phillips head screws for securing to sill plate) after one attempt to drive it into a pre-drilled hole. So, to sum up; -good brackets -not so good hardware -unclear instructions -reletively easy to install despite instructions -sturdy -versitile (comes with adapters to help install over larger sills) If you use your own hardware (to mount to sill only, assembly hardware is OK) then youll be happy with this product. They just need to throw in 2 different sill mounting screws that are a different type of drive (think Allen or Star bit; something less suseptable to stripping) then this will be a 100% solid kit.
