    I bought this brace because there is no easy way to drill into my window sills. Assembling the unit is very time consuming and frustrating -- there are a lot of pieces and the only way to find the right position is by trial and error. If you are off one way or the other, you have to partially disassemble the unit and try again. I put in two, and the second one was only slightly easier than the first. In the end, neither of the units are a close fit. They should stop the AC from hitting the ground if the window somehow fails to hold it, but its not exactly clamped on tight.

    The nuts and bolts are horrid. Not sure how this is supposed to hold 200 points when it can’t even hold itself together. Shame on the manufacturer. Returning it within 4 hours of receiving it & looking for a new one

    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.

    No quality control, came VERY bent. Also came very next day in less than 12 hours.. I don’t have prime but had free shipping (5-7 business days), this was clearly a used return that was in a warehouse right near me.. in other words a return that was damaged and not checked for quality before reshipping. Got replacement one in about a week, it wasn’t damaged but was NOT top notch quality, had to make pieces fit (didn’t fit easily) and not completely symmetric.. not good especially for being EIGHTY DOLLARS. Also a huge pain to put together, with terrible, terrible instructions. The video instruction link was even worthless. Not good business to overcharge just because not any competition for drill-less version, especially for sub-par product.

    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.

    If your air conditioner has a bar or feet on the bottom, or the bottom of your unit isnt completely flat, this bracket will not work with your air conditioner. Alpine Hardware was very responsive with their support so I cannot complain about that.

    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.

    Theres hardly any air circulation around my building so my sons purchased an air conditioner unit that fits in the window. The windows dont have much of a sill, so we got the Universal Window AC Support/Air Conditioner Bracket. They had to do some creative work-arounds with some 2 x 4s as we live on the third floor. No way to stand outside and screw things down. *chuckles* So far, everythings working well.

    Do yourself a favor, go to YouTube and watch the instruction tutorial for this. The instructions are a nightmare to understand, and there are random pieces included (anchors that are different sizes and wouldn’t fit into the holes you are suppose to drill with a VERY specific drill bit). I was trying to start the install of this based on the directions alone and I was VERY close to hiring someone. Then I watched the video tutorial that was about 2 minutes long and it took me about 10 minutes to get in (probably would have gone faster, but I have a VERY curious 3-year-old). Otherwise, it does what it is suppose to, ad helps to support our 6500Btu 58lb air conditioner.

    I bought four units and putting the first one together took awhile. The directions were minimal and pictures didn’t help much. The following 3 were easy since I became an expert at it. Installed, they are working as advertised. It’s a smart system. Just be prepared for a lot of assembly.
