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

This was easy to install. I did have my 16 year old help me. I needed another set of hands.

This support may not fit every window as soon as you put it together. In my case, I took the rubber feet off, and used hurricane anchors to hold them right where they need to be. That way I can remove it when I dont need it, and when I do need it, it is easy to install. The top section did not have enough height, so i mounted a 1/2 length of a commercial grade cutting board, that was cut to lay on the window sill. I bolted it all together so it was all one piece. When the 10,000 BTU window unit came, I laid it on the bracket, and it worked perfectly. I also had to make a foam piece that went around the bottom of the window to fill the gaps. I used hot glue to hold it together as I cut up the open cell foam to fit the open areas. I never wait for a hurricane to prepare for it. When something does not go as you like during a hurricane, fix it asap, dont wait for the next hurricane and realized that you never did it. I did not need this with a 3000 btu window unit, but 10,000 btu is a lot bigger and heavier, so his bracket had to work.

Bought 2 of these products to support 2 - 10K Frigidaire Window A/Cs. They are constructed quite well and are very strong. Each of my A/C units weigh approx 115 lbs. Once setup correctly, these supports not only fit nearly perfect n my windows, but also support the units quite easily! While the feet set against the vinyl siding and proper 5-8 deg (for water drainage) is noticeable. You may have a few gaps to fill, but that can be accomplished quite easily. I use 1/2 Styrofoam Pipe wrap and cut to fit. No complaints and the units have been running without incident for a month.

I needed a drill-less bracket for my AC and chose this item. Although you dont need to drill the bracket into your outside wall you still need a handful of tools to assemble the bracket itself properly. The instructional video has a lot of unnecessary steps which will require you, as shown in the video, to make constant adjustments to the bracket. For an instructional/installation video there is way too much trial and error. The first step of the video asks you to measure the distance from the outside wall to your window frame and by the end completely ignores that measurement as they adjust the bracket based only on it being level. The measurement and initial placements of the support legs they ask you to do are completely unnecessary. The video itself readjusts the support legs 3 times in order to install the bracket correctly. If you purchase this item I would ignore the video and only adjust the bracket so its level to your window frame. Constantly readjusting the legs is a pain especially as you have to go back and forth with tightening/loosening screws with pliers.

It is a good, sturdy bracket, especially at that price. It takes a little bit of skill at assembling things to put together and was a bit more of a project than I anticipated, but I had it done and set in about half an hour.

The instructions are atrocious. They try to be as detailed as possible, but it gets overwhelming. The product itself works just fine and looks clean. It was definitely worth the price.

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.

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.

Directions to horrendous and there’s only one video online and it’s not much better. The design isn’t very good because it’s not clear how to set it up. I still haven’t figured it out

I needed to install a window air conditioner bcz no central air. I have used window units in the past but the install was always a pain and less than sturdy and secure. This bracket hardware is the ticket. The bracket hardware is strong and well made and enables you to adapt and install a window unit easily and with no worries. See my photos for the installation that I had to accomplish. I have installed window units over the years and it was always a hassle trying to shim and brace the unit. I am glad that I bought this heavier duty bracket.
