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

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.

Very easy to put the rack together, but our AC has a bulge at the bottom so had to angle it much lower to accommodate. The rack didnt allow for the weather stripping around our window to seal close completely. All said, its still a nice device to have which makes it easy and safee putting up the AC to the window.

I looked up a how to video on YouTube before purchasing, (which is not really very good at all considering it looks like it was uploaded by the manufacturer). I thought this was going to be so simple, just assemble and place in window, done! But no. My window has an inner metal frame and neither method of placing the shelf inside the windows frame or outside of it would work. It just left all kinds of gaps and empty spaces around the shelf, and around the accordian extenders on the air conditioner. Too bad, its sturdy construction and you just cant possibly put an AC in a window without some type of support, but every windows construction can be unique, and this shelf is not a one size fits all. I just recommend you study your window frame carefully before buying.

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.

I thought we were going to have to hire someone to secure our window air conditioner in the attic, but this works GREAT!! It was easy to assemble, and easy to install in the window. The air conditioner is now securely in place. When I was searching some commenters thought it was too expensive, but I would rather pay a little more to have something I know is secure. We just had new siding and windows installed last year, so we also like that this doesnt need to be attached to the outside wall to be secure -- so there are no holes in our new exterior!! Love it!!

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.

This 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!

Ok 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

Unit does not fit well for NYC condo buildings and after a few emails to the company still have not get word back if this unit is Local Law 11 approved or not for NYC. I do not think it is because it only has one point of attachment to the window frame instead of anchored in to the building. The trough is also not designed for commercial windows found on multiple dweller residential buildings but only for residential homes as the window casing is not as tall as commercial windows are. The bracket will not sit down far enough into the window frame and thus you will have a weird angled AC that will be hard to sit flush against the window. The wings that sit against the window frame could also be made of a higher gauge steel/a little bigger/thicker so as to distribute the weight more and give a better hold. We have a medium sized 12,000BTU AC and it does not sit in the channel like the shelf is designed for. It served its purpose for getting an AC in the window and passing visual inspection but it is not supporting the AC since it does not fit the window frame correctly. Still no word on if it is Local Law 11 approved. for $100 it should be Local Law 11 approved.

With 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.
