    Product works well. If you can figure out the very vague directions. Once done is good

    The hardest part about installing this bracket was drilling the holes - but that was because of how I installed it. I wanted my AC unit outside of my window, so I could still shut the window. I did this by creating a plywood baffle that I could insert inside the recesses for the screen. I removed the screen, put the baffle in, then used putty tape to seal it up around the edges. To mount the AC unit and bracket this way, meant I had to drill and mount the bracket on the outside brick/block sill of my window. So with some research, I settled on using some carbide bits to drill with, and special blue anchor screws. I quickly found that: a) you want to drill the block dry b) you want to periodically use canned air (or a compressor) to blow out the hole as it fills with dust If you dont do those steps - you end up with the drill only going so far, then not going any further. So drill, blow out the hole, drill some more, etc - until you get to the depth needed. But other than that difference, I followed the instructions just as they were written, and things went together really well and fast. Ive had the bracket up for about 2 weeks now, and it works great. It only took a couple of hours to install (I took my time, as I didnt want to mess up the block), then a few more to make the baffle (a week or so later, I caulked it, painted it, then re-installed it properly - but I did use it for a week without all of that). The only other extra thing I did was add a couple of L-brackets to the holes, to keep the unit from potentially sliding backwards. Overall, the install turned out great, and Im very pleased with the product.

    This review covers the drill-less version of the bracket. Make sure this will work with your air conditioner. The bracket arms that extend out are between 13” and 16” apart so edge to edge the feet on the window side of your air conditioner need to be in this range. I first tried this with a 6000 BTU Amana air conditioner but the “feet” on the front of the unit were two narrow so the front towards the window was not supported properly. Then I used it on a Frigidaire air conditioner. The feet on the Frigidaire air conditioners are 2.5 time the width of most other window air conditioners so it rested on the bracket perfectly. The feet on the Amanda were about 1/2 an inch wide. The feet in the Frigidaire were about 2 3/4 inches wide.

    I would first like to say that my review is not base on the product itself but the inability to be able to use the product. I live in Canada and this was the perfect solution to installing my new 10,000 BTU A/C unit. I happley purchased the bracket and was excited to receive it after watching the video on how it was installed. Once I received the bracket, I started to look at the bracket and figure out how to install this in my 2 pain sliding window. I was having problems because based on the video, MY assumption was it went on the far inside lip of my window ledge but my friend who is a carpenter said that after watching the video that it goes between the 2 windows. That would make sense given where the bracket needs to sit. I miss judged based on video so I was unable to use the bracket (and the new A/C) for its intended purpose. Im not saying its a bad product but the video was perhaps miss leading. My suggestion is update the video and do a walk through in the video on how to PROPERLY install the bracket. Again, possibly because of the double windows and the gap being too small to install the bracket is the problem its difficult to rate the product itself. I suspect it IS a great product. Just not for my situation.

    Was able to setup in 30 minutes, Placed parts on a flat service and laid out as if assembled, then followed the instructions. The Leg supports took the most time in the setup, primarily to determine where they should be located. Do think more pictures should be included in instructions reflecting a step by step pictorial, especially for the leg supports.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
