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

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.

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.

Works as designed and presented.

The product was fine, but the instructions were terrible with unclear directions on which type of nuts/washers to use. Technically there was enough parts but I had to mix and match. I also had to supplement a one of my own washer because it was missing one. Printed instructions was poorly organized and confusing. The product technically all fits together as shown, but was too large and stuck out of my window too far and is unsightly. The support legs were difficult to adjust because it was held together with with four bolts, screw and washer so it made the moving these parts when drying fitting not as easy even when leg as a gage. Also, I still had to rig a few bunch of foam and fillers underneath the support brackets just to prevent a draft, so a seamless solution was still not possible for my case. The product technically works but was not a good fit for my situation.

I use this for a small window AC unit on my molded fiberglass RV. I had to use different holes for the legs due to the rounded shell to make it level. Works great. I have no fears this will come off during use and destroy my AC unit. Once set up it is super fast and easy to install and remove. A bit pricey but worth the peace of mind.

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.

This worked out great for me, mostly! I did not want to drill holes into my window frame to install an AC unit that I would be taking out again in the Fall so I purchased this support bracket. I also wanted to make sure that the AC unit did not fall from my 2nd story place and hit someone. It worked great, with a few notes: 1. The assembly part was a bit tricky for me as you have to install legs in a certain direction and I missed that part of the instructions but it was easy enough to undo and fix. 2. Also, it was hard to seal the air gap left in between the bracket and where the AC unit rests on it. This is not covered in any instructions I researched, including their online video. It might work better if you have two people to install the AC so you could drop it on top of some insulation you install on the bracket. I was sliding the AC onto the bracket myself so that didnt work for me. I used some painters tape to try to seal up the gaps that I could reach and it was fine for the summer. 3. I also had a problem when I removed the bracket for the Fall- it peeled off a bit of paint where the feet were resting against my outside wall. I covered the feet with painters tape in hopes that it will not do it again next year. With those notes, I would definitely recommend this support bracket for anyone who wants more support for their Window AC unit, especially if you do not want to have to drill holes in your house. I was able to install a 60lb AC unit by myself and not have to worry about dropping it during the process.

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 have several problems with this window support bracket, first of which is that it came with ineffective hardware. It doesnt have enough washers for all of the pieces, and half of the nuts that came with the package use plastic stoppers which cause them to cap off at a certain point on the bolt when threaded on. This means they cant be tightened down all of the way and would require at least twice as many washers as the kit came with to make the join on these bolts secure in any sense. Second although the kit claims to fit most windows, at the smallest setting for the brackets, the legs still dont have a tight enough hold on my window ledge and are just too heavy for a second story window. They dangle and pull the entire bracket down. Not to mention, the weld for the main support ledge is crooked which means getting the center support in between the main two arms was nearly impossible and tilts the entire ledge at an angle when joined. This causes the screws for the legs to come loose with time. I will be returning this product as soon as possible.

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.
