Let me tell you, installing this AnyMount bracket felt like solving a metal puzzle—but once it clicked, my AC unit sat snug as a bug. The adjustable arms (4.5” to 6.6”) saved my uneven NYC apartment windowsill, though I did curse at the bolts for 20 minutes.

The bubble level? Genius. Tipping the AC slightly backward prevents indoor rainstorms from condensation (trust me, I learned the hard way with a rusty puddle last summer). But those machined edges? Ouch. A blood sacrifice was made to the burr gods before filing them down.

Sturdiness? 10/10. My 8,000 BTU unit hasn’t wobbled even during subway rumbles. Just don’t expect ‘universal’ to mean ‘one-size-fits-all’—my neighbor’s pre-war windows needed Frankenstein modifications with a 2x2 wood strip.

Pro tip: Drill pilot holes and angle-grinder excess screw length unless you enjoy Tetris with power tools. Winter removal? Let’s just say… I’m mentally preparing for Round 2.
