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 used this bracket instead of the bracket that came with my new window air conditioner because it was installed in a metal building with metal casement around the window. I needed a bracket that was no drill as you cant drill into the metal window sill. We had to attach a piece of wood to the outer support that sits against the building. Once that was done the install was very easy. Highly recommend this product if you cant drill into a window well, such as with my metal building.

I would first like to say that my review is not base on the product itself but the inability to be able to use the product. I live in Canada and this was the perfect solution to installing my new 10,000 BTU A/C unit. I happley purchased the bracket and was excited to receive it after watching the video on how it was installed. Once I received the bracket, I started to look at the bracket and figure out how to install this in my 2 pain sliding window. I was having problems because based on the video, MY assumption was it went on the far inside lip of my window ledge but my friend who is a carpenter said that after watching the video that it goes between the 2 windows. That would make sense given where the bracket needs to sit. I miss judged based on video so I was unable to use the bracket (and the new A/C) for its intended purpose. Im not saying its a bad product but the video was perhaps miss leading. My suggestion is update the video and do a walk through in the video on how to PROPERLY install the bracket. Again, possibly because of the double windows and the gap being too small to install the bracket is the problem its difficult to rate the product itself. I suspect it IS a great product. Just not 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.

Sturdiness of brace without using screws or nails!

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.

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.

One of the hardest things I have put together. Instructions were not clear (noted, I received different instructions from someone else’s photo…mine was missing half the labels and had an awful description of which nuts and bolts to use). It’s definitely sturdy, but no more sturdy than a regular bracket. I don’t understand why these are more than double a good regular bracket. But I paid because I didn’t want to drill and there were zero cheaper options.

Easy to assemble. The pieces were too big to anchor the bracket in place, so I had to go to Home Depot to get some. That wasn’t an issue. Only issue I had after assembly, and trying to install it the the window was that no matter how hard I tightened with my drill set, the bracket wouldn’t hold shape. I had to drill more bits into the racket itself to get it to sit correctly on the concrete on the outside wall. It was the only way I could get it to stay how it needed to be in order for it to hold its shape.

Too many precise adjustments and configurations to be done. Its not an easy setup. After all is done you then have to figure out the size and fitting of the the sidewalls of the window to have the window closed/shut from the sides of the AC machine.

Strong and it holds in place.
