Did you need to install a mounting bracket to support this unit? At 75 pounds there's a fair amount of stress on the window.

I did not use a bracket when I installed the unit. If I were in an apartment building or on a higher floor I would recommend it. It is fairly heavy, but it's worth the effort.

I thought I would have to but I did not. Mine sat very sell in the window and I didn't feel the need to install the bracket. Your window could be different though...

No I did not. I have replacement windows and it is supporting the ac just fine. Also, when I was researching ac window brackets, I found that a lot of people commented on how they were unable to use it on their replacement windows. The ones I reviewed did not appear to be able to be attached to the type of window frame I have. I do not find that my windows are being stressed in anyway from the ac's. At one time I had a much heavier unit in my window & had no issue.

no not at all. First,I didn't think it was 75lbs. Second, the way its shaped and the way the weight is distributed makes it perfect to just sit in the window with no issues. I have an older home with very old style windows and it is no problem at all. Ive been running mine for at least 6months or better! Its a great A/C unit!!!

I did not mount it in a window, I set it a new wall. However, It mounted very good without any "brackets" into a 5" wall.'Still there today doing very well.'(I might add, It's quieter than I thought it would be.)

No, there is very little stress on the window. Most of the weight is carried by the window sill.

Yes it does. This is probably the biggest and heaviest window unit. Definitely need support bracket.

It comes with the proper brackets. If yours came without them, then you should look at returning the unit since the packaging is incomplete.

I bought the standard window size and there is no middle support bracket, you may want to look into purchasing one for very heavy drapes

Hi Kathy, Did anyone ever respond to your inquiry? I am also looking for a mounting bracket. Thanks, Carlos

Yes, you need some kind of base on which to mount the bracket. And be sure to follow the directional arrows on the unit (if it's the same model I purchased). I hope it will work for what you need, but a sun room is a good location for one of these

My older hitachi 55" is heavier and I have had that on the wall for the past 5 years. you just need to get a large enough bracket that will support the weight, and a secure mount on studs

I took the slide out unit out of the frame and very carefully installed the frame in the window. Pay close attention to the instructions. Jim

It is supporting my 45 pound TV just fine. It does need to be mounted correctly in order to support the weight. I replaced the bolts that came with the unit with some that were a little larger in diameter and about an inch and a half longer. I also made sure the bolts were going into the center of the wall stud. It is a well built unit but I would not trust the mounting screws that came with it since some much beefier ones only cost about $3 at the hardware store.

No bracket needed. The window closes down on the unit (single hung windows) and the window (security) clip will hold it in place.

No, this loft/shelf needs to be secured to something in order for it to support the weight of whatever you decide to place on it.

I just put a couple of screws in the window frame. It works well. No intruders.

I put my mount up myself. It was easier than I thought. Make sure you locate your studs the mount is vary safe if mounted to studs.

my husband is 72 years old and installed this. He guesstimates the weight to be around 45 pounds. He takes it out and in the winter and puts it back in the spring. He said it is not hard to install. We live in a mobile home and even in these windows it is not a problem. I know this is not a totally accurate answer, but it is the easy to understand one.

I mounted my Friedrich CP15G10 in a window, but I bought a support kit that holds up the bottom of the unit. I'm not sure that it's necessary, but I wanted to make sure.

There was no mounting equipment. It would be very difficult to tip over as most of the weight is on the back of the bookcase. I have no concerns about it tipping.

I use this on my patio as a planter. I don't remember there being any window brackets being included.
