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

I thought the air conditioning support was excellent. It is resistant, of good quality and easy to install. It offers great support and security, which gives a lot of peace of mind when assembling the equipment. I totally recommend it, it fulfills its function very well."

Works well and was very easy to install!

This is a well designed, compact window air conditioner support with a solid feel and design. But..... there are things a potential purchaser needs to know ahead of time. I'm personally not fond of window air conditioners but unless you have a massive and well designed cooling system, sometimes you need a window AC unit in a distant bedroom. I also bought the Frigidaire Energy Star 8,000 BTU 115V Window-Mounted Mini-Compact Air Conditioner w/ Temperature Sensing Remote Control, FFRE0833Q1 from Amazon and the air conditioner arrived a day before the window support.What you need to know about the A/C Safe AC-160 air conditioner support is that it will only work with a window AC unit that has a totally FLAT bottom. The Frigidaire FFRE0833Q1 does NOT have a flat bottom - it has a stepped bottom that makes this support useless. I tried for an hour to make this bracket and the Frigidaire FFRE0833Q1 play nice but they would not. Weary of juggling the 50 pound mini-Atlas stone of an AC unit around, I wound up removing the support unit and simply placing the FFRE0833Q1 in the window per manufacturers instructions. I sort of can't return the bracket, I drilled an extra hole in it trying to make it work but I still think this bracket is a good idea and well made and I'll hang on to it for a potential future use.The bracket itself is not as wide as I thought it would be - maybe 4" or 5" wide made of white powder coated heavy gauge (12 or 14 gauge I would guess) steel with a stainless hinge bolt and two heavy duty blue TapCon screws that will work in wood or brick. I like TapCon screws - they are strong and tough as can be. The bracket is pretty simple to install if you are moderately handy but be aware that it requires drilling into the window sill. You will need a 5/32" drill bit, drill motor or cordless drill driver, tape measure, pencil and #3 Philips screwdriver or drill driver bit. The "extra hole" I mentioned above would actually be a product improvement. The rubber foot that articulates on the bottom of the platform wants to fall off the outside on its own when you slide the AC unit onto the bracket - it was pretty aggravating. I solved that problem by using the 5/32" drill bit to drill through the foot and anchor it to the exterior siding with a stainless screw. That's why I was so aggravated when I had to take the whole darn thing out when it would not work with the FFRE0833Q1 window AC unit with the stepped bottom.In summary, this is a quality bracket with quality hardware that can be installed in ten minutes if you read the instructions (yeah, that part was painful - I'm not into instructions) and have the right tools on hand. They (or you) really should add the single hole in the bottom rubber foot - it was a big help. Hope this data saves someone some time or a prevents an errant purchase.

Nice product; but couldn't use in the window we wanted to use it in.

Awesome 👍 for the money, easy set-up

Only have had this installed for a month or two, but works pretty well. The one downside is I managed to strip the rod bolt that attaches the foot/leg to the platform. There is a good chance this was my fault as I was using two sockets to tighten things and may have unknowingly let things get cross-threaded and then torqued it down hard. The foot has a good nonslip pad. Seems pretty sturdy.Most importantly, it actually has knowledgeable installation instructions. Most installation instructions can't even be understood nowadays, much less are they helpful. This one teaches you how to determine where the center of gravity sits in your a/c unit and then tells you how to offset the platform mount so it will be balanced. I'm using this for a ~ 50 lb 8000 btu unit and it seems to be working very well. My windows would not work with an a/c without this platform but honestly even if it was possible I would not mount a window a/c without the added security of one of these things. Not bad looking, either - looks equally good/bad as having the a/c sticking out of your window.

Not an easy install requires screws to mount. Although it’s straight forward for installing, there are other mounts out there that you can just toss in the window with adjustable bars to catch the frame.
