Not as thick and wide as I thought.

The picture is deceptive. I thought it would be a platform for installing an AC unit. No, that is not so. It's like a hand. The top surface is only about 4 inches wide. Therefore, the foot pad is only about 3 inches. For a 100-pound air conditioner, that's a lot of pressure in one spot compared to what's typically some sort of siding. The picture made me think the leg mount would be 18 inches or longer to better distribute the load. I went ahead and used this for a 100lb 18500 Btu block, but I…

Pros
  • That's awesome
Cons
  • old

Reliable product, maybe not for you

I'm a bit conflicted in my feedback on this. The product itself is good, but your windows need to be the right type for it to work. From what I understand you need a windowsill from the outside to climb in? My windows weren't nearly wide enough, so I had to experiment a bit to get it working. Thing is, once I found a way to make it work, I didn't need the product anymore. So I think this is a solid product under the right conditions, but be aware that it might take some fiddling to get it…

Not "universal " in terms of heating, cooling and air quality

Completely unsuitable for our windows. Designed with the following assumptions in mind: - All storm window grilles or window frames are on or below the window sill - The underside of the air conditioner is perfectly flat - A heavy, chunky air conditioner will be perfectly balanced at 2-3 inches. wide surface of this mount and it will never move or slide. After cutting various pieces of wood to try, I gave up and just built a matching shelf that would support the air conditioner across its…

  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I'm glad I bought it, but the question of wall mounting

Bought to have on hand although the air conditioner purchased came with its own bracket. I'm glad I did. It was possible to fit this bracket into the sash window just by drilling the inner wood sill. The bracket that came with the air conditioner had to drill a raised vinyl guide for a window or exterior vinyl frame where the holes would be exposed to rain. I didn't trust the foot that supposedly doesn't need to be drilled. It seemed as if the foot would lose traction on the wall if the air…

Pros
  • is very impressive
Cons
  • there are more interesting options.

strong and stable mount

This mount is strong and stable. The key to success is finding the center of balance for your particular conditioner. I laid the 2 x 4 on its side and balanced the conditioner on it. Mark the position with a pencil, transfer this mark to the window frame and you are ready to mount the bracket. the bracket accessories include three spacers in different sizes, which are suitable for different thicknesses of window frames. (Using these spacers allows the air conditioner to rest on the frame rather

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Base required

Can be installed without a smooth window sill

I bought this for the upstairs guest room so I can install our small fridge window unit. I read reviews that said you can't easily install it unless you have a smooth window sill, but I went with it anyway because it's summer in Georgia and my mom was visiting from Oregon. Although I love doing useful housework, I'm not good at all. I just kind of throw myself into something and YouTube videos for advice. When I noticed that there was a small piece of metal sticking out of the window sill, my…

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Faulty

Warning, MacGuyvering may be required.

I bought this with my Frigidaire 15,100 BTU 115v Median Air Conditioner and was looking forward to some summer weather relief. I've written a fairly lengthy review of the air conditioner expressing some of my feelings about this kit, but I'll elaborate on that here. My first impulse in rating this product was to give it five stars because it works well. and firmly supports our 100 pound air conditioner. After considering the tests my husband put through the installation, we agreed that three…
