> 3 dayIt 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.

> 3 dayHigh-quality product, making installation of window a/c really simple. Im using it for a 10k BTU Friedrich chill premier window a/c, its very sturdy and secured. Good overall, but theres one design flaw which is that a/c is installed level, and not slightly slanted towards the outside as recommended by the manufacturer. This happens because the brackets slot where the ACs bottom railing is sitting in is pushed out further from the window seal. Fortunately with my specific AC unit, this didnt cause any water to come into the house. Also, $90 is a bit pricey for a piece of metal bracket.

Greater than one weekThis was such a delightful surprise! I expected screws and hex bolts and all manner of headaches putting this together. It was so simple, I almost didnt believe it. This is top rated by Wirecutter and theyre on the money with this review!

Greater than one weekOk after many reviews and one really good one about the EZ mount funny enough a gentleman said he ordered both and the other one just worked better, so as this one was less I decided to start with this one. We have metal siding and any hole is forever and no ductwork in a 1952 home so at the high price this was solving what could be very expensive if I had water damage and our very short hot season in Oregon. We have a sill and I just adjusted to have a pitch with the legs. Now I can see how it would not work for some and there was only the position shown and way in front but with no holes I was willing for it to be ugly as a window unit is already ugly. The pegs are not supposed to line up per instructions as pictured I literally laid out the window and bounced and I’m far heavier than my 60lb black and decker 12000 btu AC. I say it’s absolutely worth the risk of not working with 30day returns

28-11-2024This was the easiest AC bracket I have ever installed (took me like maybe a minute or two), and my AC is definitely not going anywhere. Im totally inept when it comes to assembling anything, even with detailed instructions, so this bracket was such a pleasant surprise. Well worth the money.

> 3 dayWith other reviews on this item I was hopeful this product would do as advertised. It is functional as a support for my large window Air conditioner. If you want something that will hold up large 80+ lb ac unit you will get it here. The reason I did not give it a 5 star is because it did not come with clear instructions and there are no videos online that address this specific install. Putting it together is a no brainer i had it together in around a minute. The install on the other hand took me around a half hour to get the support system in place accurately. Making sure to have the tilt if any to the outside not to the inside of the window was a bit difficult. I live on 3rd story of the building so it is difficult to dangle out the window and adjust. It did finally get to the spot I needed; however it left many large gaps to be filled. We have windows that are tilt in to clean and deep casement. If this is the type you have, make sure you get rigid foam boards to fill gaps because there will be many. Once filled and in place it works wonderful. No longer do I have to worry about the unit falling out of the window.

> 3 dayI 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

> 3 dayThe bracket is awesome! Love that there are no screws and everything clicks together simply. It has a lot of adjustability. Worked in our old wood double hung window frame (wood constructiion). It does need a flat wall for it to provide proper support. We have one window above a roof eyebrow and the shelf didn’t work there. At first I was afraid it would be too small for the large 10,000 BTU unit, but it sits very nicely and securely on it. The bracket is better quality and construction than the AC (which arrived with a cracked plastic cover).

> 3 dayThe unit is good quality and sturdy. Installed easily in vinyl replacement windows. My ac unit does not have a flat bottom, and so sits unevenly on support. This also effects the moisture draining.
