    One thing to note is that if your AC unit is not flat on the bottom, then it wont sit on the brackets very well. You must install it with a slight downward angle away from the window otherwise, the unit wont drain the condensate very well. The other issue is that the bolt that attaches the feet to the lower braces needs to have a sleave installed between the bracket sides so that sufficient fastener pressure can be applied to lock the feet in. As it is now, it just crushes the sides.

    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!!!!

    Theres a discrepancy on the build instructions that states using a 7/16 wrench or socket this is absolutely wrong on so many levels, its metric not standard bolts as the kit I received had 10mm nuts and bolts. It was easy to assemble straight forward but at least include the proper hardware with this universal kit please, or update the instructions because it seems like corners were cut on material cost(s). Once my new ac unit arrives Ill update my review with some video and pictures of what Im commenting on. Get this you wont be disappointed its of great quality looks very nice and powder coated steel. My speculation this will last longer than the ac its going to support!

    Good idea but couldnt use because the lower rail (holds the accordian sides) on the a.c. unit has to fit in the window groove. With this brace it raises it way above where it should naturally fit.

    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.

    I bought and used it now because it is only option for non drill required air conditioner supporter. It is very sturdy but when I received it its ends were alreday chipped off of paint. It is fine because it would be installed outside and no one look at it. However it has three major defects: First of all. when you assemble, it uses bolt and nut but its size is not really fit so witout tool you cant do it. Second, the hand is too short so even it is supporter but not really wors. It is supposed to tilt around a couple of degree so the water comes out in the end of air conditioner but the handle is too short so it tiles almost like 15 degree. I felt the air conditioner sliped down from the supporter so I bought extra panel to found its hands. The last is it basically did not care about install under air conditioner. So, when you install the air conditioner there is huge gap between the air conditioner and supporter. I also needs to buy extra foam to block this gap.

    I was excited to get this because I thought it would work great for my purposes and save me a lot of the usual hassles with installing a new ac unit. I was sadly and totally wrong. It’s a one size fits most with a lot of assembly. Get out your toolkit, a couple people to help, and set aside a good bit of time. The instructions are unclear with not the greatest drawings. You will need someone to hold the multiple parts together while you screw and bolt them together. Some spots are so tight you need small hands and an offset screwdriver to fit in there. Some attachments you are trying to hold a nut with your fingertip as you try to get the bolt started in them. A lock washer with a standard nut would be better there than a lock nut. It’s not particularly stable even after it’s all bolted together and doesn’t hold the an ac unit that weighs less than their maximum. It doesn’t grip the window ledge and the whole thing wants to fall out of the window. Luckily we have a deck so the outside of the ac and this support frame are sitting on a stack of boards on a bench to keep it in place. Not a well thought out or constructed piece of equipment and a waste of time and money.

    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.
