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

The unit was difficult to assemble. One of the supports that goes against your house doesn’t hold up and slips off the house. In no way was this stable and after many attempt to “make it work” we threw this crap in the trash

After struggling with the limited instructions to assemble, the stand was plenty strong for my A/C. Id be quicker to recommend this if they included step by step instructions and better small parts I.D. I had to use two 2×4s nailed together to shim the stand but I felt confident when my friend and I lifted the rather heavy (81 lbs.) unit onto it.

From what I can see, the materials used in this project seem sturdy and durable enough to withstand the elements in the long run. However, accessing and aligning screws and nuts in certain areas can be challenging due to design flaws. Additionally, the instructions only provide a generic list of necessary tools such as wrenches and sockets without specifying the required size. This, along with the inadequate design, can result in wasted time and effort when constructing what should have been a relatively simple device.

We don’t assemble stuff very often so this took us a while. We used the written directions along with the online video. You need both. The first step where you attach the brackets is misleading because you should anticipate that they will need to be unscrewed and repositioned to get the angle right. That takes time and tinkering to figure out where they should go. But once you get it right this is a nice piece of engineering. Tension holds it in place and creates a sturdy shelf for the air conditioner. But also be prepared for a big gap at the bottom. It needed to be stuffed with 2x1 inch foam (the black part in the picture). We also used side panels to help cover the sides and to stuff any smaller gaps. Once it is put together we won’t have to do it again and installing the air conditioner in the future will be a breeze (pun intended).

Lo recomiendo al 100% es muy fuerte y muyyy practico

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.

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.

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.

First off I reviewed the 1 star comments and I agree the instructions stink but that does not merit a one star rating. If we made it thru high school we were given the tools to figure some stuff out on our own. There are about 10 metal parts and plenty of pics showing different views on the Amazon web page. There are only two different nuts so you have a 50-50 chance of getting it wrong. As for the pic of the swinging bracket you have the feet on the wrong end. I mounted this in the window of a fifth wheel camper and worked great and should work in just about any window application. Although a bit pricey it is made of a good gauge of steel and feels quite strong. The first order was missing the feet & pads but they took care of the problem right away. I give it 4 Stars.

Looks sturdy enough for my air conditioner.
