Top Shelf TSB-2438 Universal Heavy Duty Window Air Conditioner AC Support Bracket -Holds Up to 200 lbs., No Drilling or Tools Required, White

I really a sturdy product, and very easy to install. Only thing is I wish I can get the shelf arm closer to the outside wall. Because the adjustment arm hole in 5ge last one. The arm still fall from touching the outside wall. I need the pull in my windows air-conditioning more in to the window, so the both outside support arm can touch the outside wall to support the air conditioning. That is why I give it a 4 Stars.

Top-Shelf is fantastic! I highly recommend Top-Shelf air conditioner supports. I purchased two of the Top-Shelf units and these have saved me a loads and loads of frustration in installing my air conditioners every summer. Previously, the weight of each air conditioner was precariously pressed against the top window pane while my back was killing me trying to prevent them from toppling out the window during installation and removal for the fall and winter months. The installation of the two Top-Shelf window air conditioner supports was very easy – although initially it looked a little confusing. As there are very many styles of windows, my reinstalled windows did not need the sliding left and right wings that come with the kit as the bottom of my reinstalled windows adequately support my air conditioners. As the instructions specify, there is no requirement for drilling or using additional tools, fasteners or hardware. They even included rubber feet for the foot brackets that press against the house siding under the air conditioners. However, what I did need to purchase extra were a couple of packages of Frost King Air Conditioner Weatherseals (1 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 42 available on Amazon). This was necessary to fill in air gaps under the air conditioner – both inside and outside of the house (which I would have needed anyway with or without Top-Shelf).

This shelf has been fantastic. I was not sure if I wanted to buy it due to the price, but it was worth every penny. It was easy to install and did a great job. I got a huge window AC to cool down my living room, dining room, and kitchen so the AC unit was about 90lbs and I didnt want to ruin my windows by not using a brace. This shelf was easy to put together and fit into the window and gave my AC unit the extra support it needed.

I bought this brace for my new AC and the pins cannot work since the holes do NOT line up .. Attempted to contact company regarding this and they never bothered to get back to me. I also found another person who had the same issue. Poor quality control. Poor customer service. DO NOT BUY UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO RE-LINE THE HOLES UP TO FIT

Was easy to install and seemed quite sturdy. Was a touch expensive though and doesn’t really fully bear the weight of the AC except at the window jam. The problem is really with the AC as it doesn’t allow for that suggested 4deg down bubble due to being ‘clipped’ into the window pane. But my landlord said we needed brackets on all AC units so here we are.

Product is very solid and fits really well into my window frame. Did slightly adjust where the AC lines up with my window so the lip doesn’t exactly align, and some air gaps increased, but that’s because I have an old style house where the side panels don’t line up with where the window slide open. Some rolled up towels were able to seal the gaps. Definitely feel much better about having my window AC above the front of the house, especially if we experience any big earthquakes, I feel like this will actually stay in the window now. Anyways, my product had a slight defect (defects happens even with the best product manufacture design), I reached out to customer service, and they sent me a replacement piece right away. Replacement piece works great. Would buy again.

This Black & Decker bracket is very well made, and we thought it was exactly what we wanted for easy mount and dismount of our tiny A/C unit, which we only use 2½ mos out of the year. Unfortunately, it sounds more like a universal fit than it really is, regardless of the many adjustments you can make for both the interior and exterior wings/legs (half stops for the exterior = wonderful). Though we finally found a place for the gripper feet on the exterior legs to lay flat against our siding, it left the bracket at an incline instead of a decline, which is of course the opposite of what you want with an air conditioner because of condensate concerns. We tried numerous times (literally a dozen different adjustments!) to get it to work, but it was impossible for it to be snug on the frame inside and at the proper angle outside. Plus, it left huge gaps beneath the A/C unit on both sides. Also, we feel it was made for larger units and that this should be noted. We purchased the very popular and best-selling Frigidaire unit here on Amazon, which is tiny and only 40 lbs. It just barely fit (like by a mere half inch) when centered on the bracket, and kept slipping between the vertical legs/supports—to the extent that we went online to look for rubbery bits to apply to either the A/C or the bracket, and then we thought, What are we doing?! This just wont work for us. Amazon processed our return without a hitch. (And honestly, later drilling three holes in the bottom of our vinyl-clad window was absolutely NO big deal—and it left no gaps.) Bottom line: Its well made, and an attractive color (the dark grey). But know that even if you measure all surfaces and areas, and everything looks as though it will be a perfect fit, its still possible this bracket is not going to work for you. However, Id still recommend it if you have a more standard size A/C unit and a flatter exterior surface like brick or stucko. Siding is tough because of the way the rows cut off, and you just wont know if this will work until you have it in your hands for a trial. Thankfully Amazon is good with returns if youre prompt with your trials.

The bracket is easy to put together and put into the window. I have two ac units - a heavier Frigidaire and a smaller Haier. After reading the reviews here I opted to use this with the smaller Haier. It slid onto the bracket with ease, and there was still space left on the sides and front of bracket so the unit is totally supported. The bracket is well packaged and the instructions are clear. This was a must for me as I did not want to drill holes and I live on a high floor where cars are parked underneath the window. It costs more but is worth saving the headache of using tools, when installing an ac unit is a hassle in and of itself. I would definitely recommend this to anyone living in an apartment who needs the added security of a bracket, and doesnt have the time or know how for putting together additional tools for their ac unit.
