A/C Safe AC-160 Universal Heavy Duty Window Air Conditioner Support

It is not universal
I am disappointed in this bracket. It can hold an AC unit, but it requires a lot of finagling. To keep the lower bracket from slipping down, I had to drill a hole in the lower pad and drive a screw in the wall. To get the AC unit to sit flat on the bracket, I had to cut a piece of the right thickness wood and insert it between the AC and bracket. By the time I got done messing with this thing, I might as well have built my own wooden bracket and saved my money.

This product says it is universal, but it is not. It only works well if your AC unit is completely flat on the bottom and if you have a certain type of wall that will keep the lower pad from slipping.

However, to be fair, two of these mounted under my one AC unit would have worked well. With the way the bottom of my AC unit was designed, one bracket placed in the center of the AC unit would not sit flat because of the protrusions under the AC unit. But the AC unit was flat on the two edges. I still would...

Good concept, not sure it truly "universal"
I just installed this. My window is a replacement in a 100+ year old house. The layout is different from what the diagram suggested. My window has a 3/16" frame that sticks up in front of window and near the outer end so it doesn't have a smooth sill. I had to add more of a sill b/c the instructions say 4" minimum (take a star away from that). I added it on the outside using a treated 2x4. I then screwed that down in multiple place to my house. I then installed the shelf. My next issue was my aluminum siding. The bottom bar pushes against it. The siding is not flat so the top of the shelf would drop a little as the siding tilts. I got it into position but again another star taken away b/c this is not a truly universal product. The instructions are good. The concept is great, esp. for folks on a 2nd+ floor who can't easily access the window from the outside.

Great product...this is the 2nd one I own
I don't remember where I got my first one, but when I needed a 2nd window unit, I didn't hesitate to buy another here on Amazon. This is easy to install, looks great from the outside, doesn't take up a lot of space, and most importantly, does the job. We have a house built in 1927 with the original windows...this fit the bill. The installation instructions are easy to follow. If you need a window air conditioner support, I highly recommend this one.
