Frost King ACB160H Heavy Duty Steel Air Conditioner Support Brackets, Holds up to 160lbs , White

Installing an AC for the first time is a little intimidating but these definitely do the trick, has been a really solid mount , 2 years running nowUsed for 2 smaller 5000 I believe and one medium 12000 I think it is, works very well

Update 2/09/2012 - everything below still holds true. I simply wanted to add that last summer, we got another AC of the same brand & size for our very large living room and made sure we had pre-ordered another bracket before installation. We have a very old house and our window sills are non-standard. We found it easier to drill a small trough for the thick cord to rest in before we installed the Support shelf but that is the only difference we had to make. Having been through some very windy and wet weather this Southern California "Winter", we are even MORE impressed by how much a difference this product makes in stability, noise reduction as well as wear & tear on the window frame. We love it! Honestly, we tell everyone we meet who is shopping for an AC not to even dream of installing it without one of these!Original Review:We recently installed a new room Air conditioner and just to be on the safe side we bought this Bracket support. We live in Southern California where earthquakes are common and we wanted ti make sure the AC had a good firm support. What a difference this item made in the installation! It really was such an improvement from the old situation. I'm ordering another one for another room AC we're going to install.The funny thing is, the New AC we bought turned out to be not right so we had to put the old one back in. The primary reason we bought the new one was because the old one was filling up with melt water or condensation because the house had settled at an odd angle over the years. The old Unit went back into the window and now with the proper support from the Bracket, it drains properly and doesn't fill up with cold water anymore. Problem solved! If only I had thought if this sooner!The reason I say this item is a must have is as follows:* It is easily installed from the inside and will provide all the support you'll ever need* It takes the weight of the unit off your window sill and redistributes it evenly* The arm that goes against the house is flat and won't mar your siding or paint job* It makes taking the AC out of the window a simple job if you do that for winterGreat product - don't install a new AC without one and consider buying one to help your old AC work up to its potential.

The installation was harder than we thought. Took nearly 30min to figure it out. Because i live in an apartment, the windows sill and the outside is made of mostly cement and i was lucky to have drilled 3 screws in it and the 4th one i had to use a screw of my own. And then the 6000btu is placed on it without any problem. I’m sure it works for 8000-10000 btu. It seems study once it is installed. Better than my old one from 9 years ago. I would’ve given it 5 stars if it was much easier to install.

It could be user error, but we just can't get the right angle on it.

I bought this to help support a 80lb air conditioner in my new window. I did not want the air conditioner to damage my window so I bought this to help! There are a couple of changes I have made to this product though...1-Before you place your air conditioner on this bracket put a small piece of foam on the support platform. Why? After installing this I noticed some time later a vibrating noise coming from the air conditioner. I thought it was coming from the unit but after further inspection I noticed it was the end of the metal platform vibrating against the bottom of the air conditioner. A strip of foam helps absorb any vibrations transferred from the ac unit to the bracket.2- The rubber piece on the arm did stay in place for a couple months, however, one day I noticed is slipped down leaving a black mark on the from of my house. I do not know if someone bumped it or it just slid down but I ended up putting a screw just below the rubber arm and it has not moved since.

I purchased this in 2011 with a promise from my son that he would install it for me. Long story short, I decided to install it myself this year so I could actually get some use out of it. I thought I'd put all of the hardware and instructions carefully away, but when I opened the package and began reading the directions, I found that I had somehow lost one of the pieces essential to the installation. After searching for hours, I finally gave up and e-mailed Nation Wide Products customer service to ask how I might obtain a replacement. Within 24 hours I not only had a response, but they were sending me the part (as well as the others that go with it, just to make sure I had everything I needed) free of charge! This company has the most amazing customer service I've encountered in a very long time. Additionally, the product is sturdy, well made, and attractive. Can't say enough good things about this. I absolutely recommend this company's products.

Overall I am pleased with the product: it does seem to be strong enough to support the unit, and in the end it was not difficult to install, although being not all that handy, it was more difficult than I might have thought from reading the ad. It _did_ take drilling several holes in the sill correctly, and (as usual) putting the thing together wrong a few times until I understood what the instructions wanted. However, it was not difficult to de-assemble and re-assemble; the parts were easy to identify, and fit together; the thing is sturdy, it protects the new window-edge, and the unit sits on it fine. I only wish its cost was not such a substantial percentage of the cost of the unit itself.

was easy and good

Great seller, great quality and price. Worked well.

bon

Works great for our 1600 square ft house. The remote is a great feature with a handy temperature gauge.

Very strong. Well built and easy to install.
