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 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.

I cant tell you the amount of time i tried to make it work and my ac almost fell out of my window its honestly ridiculous. The directions on how to set it up is terrible, after setting everything up i set it up on my window with all the correct measurements gave a good nudge the legs didnt let go so i set the ac on and everything was good until i turned around it almost fell. thank god i caught in time or it wouldve caused damage to the cars below. if you live in an apartment with a brick layout on the outisid DO NOT GET IT!!!!

From what I can see, the materials used in this project seem sturdy and durable enough to withstand the elements in the long run. However, accessing and aligning screws and nuts in certain areas can be challenging due to design flaws. Additionally, the instructions only provide a generic list of necessary tools such as wrenches and sockets without specifying the required size. This, along with the inadequate design, can result in wasted time and effort when constructing what should have been a relatively simple device.

Solid product, suggest revision of sizing instructions. Would have been helpful to test size before tightening all bolts.

Looks sturdy enough for my air conditioner.

Works as designed and presented.

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.

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

We installed this on our RV to hold a window unit. It worked great, and even survived a direct hit from hurricane Ian at a category 4, it held strong with the unit in place. Hated spending $75 for it, but wow, cant complain now.

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.
