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 loved this easy to assemble, adjustable, very sturdy brace for my window a/c unit. Unfortunately, I could not use it because the shape of the actual air conditioner and window sill combination did not allow the a/c to rest on the brace properly. Bummer—it was exactly what I needed, and would have made seasonal removal so much easier. So there is slightly more to it than measuring the dimensions as suggested in the instructions, but I’m not sure how I would have known without buying it and trying it. (I have the very popular GE Profile PHC08LYQ1 (6150 BTU) and the similar 8100 BTU. They have the same cabinet, so didn’t work with either one, but the problem was how the a/c had to sit in my particular window frame).

Fit great, supports our large ac. We did install a block of wood between the frame and the window, and did end up drilling two small holes for the wings but I didnt mind - worth it for the peace of mind.

Fits our very difficult-to-fit for other supports Brownstone window. Took all of 5 minutes to get it set up and installed, and it supports the AC perfectly.

I was surprised that it was as good as they said it was . It had all the parts only a couple of dings in it so all I had to do was put a heavy spray seal on it just like new . Not often you get an item that’s $76.00 for $17.00 . Works great

Easy install and solid support, wont fit my vinyl window track well enough to use.

I dont understand how people have an issue with this thing.. I didnt even need the instructions.. How the mechanism worked was very self explanatory. And no i do not have built up siding on the house. I had it put together and installed in my window in about 5-6 minutes (had to tweak the length on the two arms to get it straight and tight). And that was just because I didnt double look when I first put it up so that was all on me, I think I could have been done faster with some more thinking capacity lol. All in all my AC was in my window in 10 minutes. Oh and dont get discouraged if it says it wont ship UNTIL a certain date.. I was heart broken when I saw that I wouldnt get it until next week. However seller contacted me to ENSURE it would fit my window since that has been the complaint, I double checked my measurements and said yes I commit to the purchase THEN he charged my account and shipped my unit on Monday (I ordered it Saturday or Sunday) and I got it today.. It is sturdy, well balanced, and SOOOO easy.. Worth every penny to me. I have a feeling this one will last many years..

It looks like a high-quality item, but it did not work for my window. Build quality is very good, almost over-engineered. The only issue that I have with this bracket is that for the type of window this would work for, you probably wouldnt even need such a heavy-duty bracket, since windows with adequate ledges can bear the weight of an air conditioner far better than those without. For those types of windows, there are far cheaper options (shims, 2 x 4s, etc) that would do the job just fine. Also, based upon the description and my measurements, this *should* have worked for me, but unfortunately, it did not - my ledge was just a hair too shallow. This possibility is something you might want to keep in mind, because returning it will be really inconvenient, should you need to. I do wish this would have worked. With this bracket, you could put a really big air conditioner in your window and rest secure knowing that it would be well supported. If a bracket is required by your HOA or apartment complex, this is the one. It really is a very nice bracket. Even though I had to return it, I give it five stars overall.

The primary support brackets - the ones that come out of the window - rust BADLY.

Every AC unit that says its an easy install for windows lies (at least based on how my windows are set up) and although the price is steep, it makes installation a breeze for all unit sizes (works so well I bought 2). If you have difficulty getting your unit in the window every summer this is worth relieving the stress of that process. in terms of durability time will tell. given the perceived strength of the components im surprised it doesnt have a longer warranty which is a little frustrating but otherwise im satisfied.

Ordered 3 of these for rental units and will probably get more for my mom’s house. Yes they are expensive but the ease of installation, the fact that they don’t damage the new vinyl siding, and the solid support they are worth it. I watched the video before putting it together. Literally a 5-min installation for me (female, age 50 with back issues). My husband normally tackles the annual a/c install and removal but this year i did it no problem. And there was no worries that they woukd fall on people below. After one full season of use I do see minor rust on a couple places but a wipedown and a bit of metal paint will keep them in good shape.
