Ivation Air Conditioner Support Bracket, No Tools or Drilling Required - Easy to Install Window AC Mount - Heavy Duty Steel, Holds Up to 200lbs - Fits Single Or Double Hung Windows 19.25H by 17.25L

Very nice window air conditioner support bracket. Very strong construction.Assembly is very straightforward. The only challenge is aligning the support legs. Using a measuring tape speeds up the process. I recommend having a helper to hold the bracket in place but I did the installation by myself. The end result is a bracket that is strong enough to stand on (I weigh over 200 lbs.).When correctly installed with your air conditioner, this bracket allows for opening the window for fresh air and to use cooler air in the mornings.Tips:1. Measure the window. I installed this in a 36 inch wide window. That is the maximum width this bracket supports. The tray width is 16 inches wide by 18 inches deep. Center the air conditioner to maintain balance and to reduce vibration and noise. I attached a 1/8 inch rubber gasket (purchased separately) on the tray to reduce vibration.2. Double check your siding. Some of the weight is transferred to your siding via the legs. Your siding should not bend or break under weight (perhaps 1/3 of the air conditioner weight).3. 12-inch bubble level. The goal is a 5 degree slope downwards so that water does not come inside.4. Foam (2 inch by 2 inch by window length) to go between the window frame and the bracket, and between the bracket and the air conditioner. The goal is to insulate under and over the frame. I also used spray foam such as "GE Gaps & Cracks Insulating Foam" to create an air, water and bug proof installation all around the air conditioner. I added 1x2 foam on the window bottom to create an airtight installation with the operable part of the window so that I can open and close the window.In summary this bracket is high quality and will support small and big/heavy window air conditioners.

Seems to be well made how it stands up over time is yet to be seen. Skeptical at first because of the no tools assembly but there is plenty of adjustment with the movable snap together sections. You literally snap it together adjust it correctly to fit your window and slide the air conditioner into place. No more hanging on to it with your fingernails while some closes the window on them. Only needs to be adjusted once so you could, if you wanted, drill and screw it solid afterward but it doesn't seem necessary. Now about the price. There are plenty of other choices that seem to serve the same purpose at lower prices. I have not tried any of them but after seeing the simplicity of this I would try one of them before paying $80 bucks for another one of these. It's up to you.

Our landlord had recently put in new windows in the house we are renting (great!) We have a rather LARGE window AC unity since we do not have air conditioning in the house. Our AC was able to rest perfectly in our old wooden windows np; however, after these new plastic trim windows were put in, our AC could no longer rest along the bottom of the window with a plastic part that was now there sticking up. We couldn't use screw-in AC supports due to the whole window-sil being plastic and we are renters. Thankfully this product was a blessing to us! Extremely easy to set up, the bar rests in front of the annoying plastic bump that sticks up in our windows and holds up our extremely big AC unit with no problems and no slipping! The price is abit steep, but was totally worth it! No more suffering 90 degree heat upstairs YAY!

Bracket fit well in my vinyl window frame, creating a flat platform instead of one with a channel so you have to deal with securing the bottom of your AC unit somehow. I drilled a couple screws that the holes on the bottom of the AC fit onto securing it from sliding, which it will with this type of bracket. I did end up sinking a few Lag bolts into the window frame once installed by drilling through it it (easy(). There was too much flex in the window when I put weight on it to trust completely without doing this. So anyway, it feels solid and hopefully won't rust out like so many others have talked about. The legs barely reached the wall as our windows are so close to the edge, but bending the feet gave it the perfect angle and I tightened them up so they don't move. Looks pretty good from the outside and hoping to save a little money not cooling the whole house at night. Directions were fine, again easy. Tried other brackets, this was the only one that actually worked without having to alter the window frame in any way.

Really makes putting a big AC in feel less stressful. Easy to assemble and easy to put in. I'm older and disabled and I had an easy go if it. Feels sturdy.
