Sharp idea but doesn't fit a lot of apartmentsThis colophon is NOT universal.
I live in a pre-war apartment building in Manhattan. The facade is brick with drip edges around the windows - very stock. This product basically does not work with this kind of wall. I bought the small one, based on the the measurements of our a/c unit, but the bracket was way too short and did not extend out far enough for the support arm to reach the outside wall. So I bought the larger one, which was meant for A/Cs much bigger than ours, and has a longer bracket but still it did not fit the wall. The only way I managed to get it to work was by using the longer support but with the support arm from the smaller one. It still is not that great but it is better than nothing. And for a grand total of over $80.. 1/3 of the cost of the a/c itself!
My suggestion is try to check if it works on your building. It is not easy to tell until you get it home and try to install it.
Skilful fit
I purchased the Weighty Duty Window Unit Support Kit after my super informed me that my air conditioner was installed incorrectly. The kit was easygoing to use and did the trick. My window unit is installed correctly and I do not have to worry about it falling out the window.
Not categorically universal
this obsession is designed for a window that has a window ledge...mine doesn't, so this became very useless for me right when I opened it up and TRIED to use it...very minute paper weight though...if you get this, make sure you have like 4 inches of ledge or this will also become very useless to you too...the one that came with the A/C component I bought works better then this does....that one is really universal...wait to buy something like this unless you Be versed you need it....other then that I couldn't use it...it would have work perfictly if I did in fact have a ledge like it was intended for :)
very extravagant bracket
Not accurately thrilled with an item which cannot be installed per instructions. The nylon attach mechanisim was so thick I had to redrill the metal disperse and attach it with additional screws. Now I have several pieces of nylon cluttering my garage. Had I tried to instate the included nylon fittings the airconditioner would have been 2" off the lower sill. Make your own grade.

The air conditioner window segment support brace was easy to install on my pre-assembled shop building and provided a affluent support for the A/C unit. It was designed for buildings with a full-size window sill, but my window sill could be modified to fit the brace. I used a hammer and sharp chisel to cut away a part of the aluminum channel for the window protect (which I am not using anymore) to make room for the plastic support to fit flat on the sill. I also had to add a 2x4 prop under the window sill for the attaching screws to screw into. I made sure that the window brace was slanted down to purvey water drainage from the A/C unit.
