> 3 dayWorks exactly as advertised and Hutch Mountain support is the best I’ve ever experienced. Sent them pix of my air conditioner from the roof and they called me back and walked me through the whole install. 20 minutes and working. We dropped to a 14.5 amp start surge, near 40 before. Love this product. We can choose 30 amp service and run both AIr Conditioners. Start the high current one first and then start the Micro Air unit.

> 3 dayIt was a little bit of a tough installation but in the end it does what I expected. I can run our trailer ac with a 2200 W generator (when on propane) since the soft start lowers the inrush load. I’d prefer more information to be available at times from the app.

> 3 dayI was skeptical it was going to work. I have a Ryobi 2200W and a Coleman 3000W generator. Neither would run my AC with heat pump. They would overload as soon as the compressor tried to start on the cold or heat side. I turned everything else off and it still wouldnt start with either generator. Super frustrating because I really didnt want to have to carry a big noisy generator. I have a Houghton AC/heat unit from rec-pro. Rec-pro was not helpful when I called them to see if the easy start would work on their unit. They just kept repeating our units have not been tested with easy start. I submitted a question through amazon and Hutch Mountain answered within 24 hours. They said it should work with my unit. I took a chance and ordered it. I installed the easy start this morning and ran it through the 5 cycle learning process and crossed my fingers. I plugged it into the generator and it worked perfectly. The Ryobi struggles a little on eco mode but still works. It took me about an hour to install because I was being extra careful to route wires and heat shrink connections. Amazing difference and worth the money.

> 3 daythis device made it so I can start my RV Ac with a champion 2500W dual fuel generator on both gas and propane. This is the best device since it learns you start up amps and adapts the soft start to get the best result. Yes it is an added step to start and stop the AC several times. I found I needed a couple of more starts to get the best result. Works great.

> 3 dayAug 26 2022 Product took almost a month to deliver. Installing it was realitive simple but I do have a background in electronics. These are listed for rv air-conditioning but they will work on window unit thats being ran from a solar rig, generator or pedistal. This product took my 15kbtu 115vac window unit ac locked rotar amps from 51 amps down to 14amps. My power inverter now can starts the ac without straining. So far the ac have been running for 2 hours and the easy start isnt even warm to the touch. For those wanting to install in a window unit be careful on the wiring. For my unit it wasnt a color coded match. You will also need a drill with a spade bit to drill a hole in the shell of the unit to run the wires through. There wasnt any room In the my ac to internally mount the soft starter. Cons, it took almost a month from order to deliver to get the device. Cons. I actually ordered the micro air soft start but I recieved a spartan easy start. Pros. It does work neither my inverter or generator strains anymore when the ac compressor kicks on. 51 start up amps down to 14 amps. I will add to the post if things thang but so far I am happy with it.

> 3 dayThe Hutch Mountain Install Kit and the install video from their website made this a very easy installation. I installed this on an Airstream Bambi 2022. The hardest part was getting the Microair unit mounted inside the electronics box. The bracket around the remaining capacitor was tricky to bend and screw into the metal housing. The Install kit that comes with this had everything i needed for a painless installation. Not including watching the video beforehand, the total install time for me was about 1 hour. I highly recommend this product.
