> 24 hourGreat product, the run capacitor failed on my compressor, easystart refused to keep trying to start, saving my compressor motor from over heating. Replaced capacitor, all is good. Had to call factory to find out how to clear the error code on my easystart.

> 24 hourVery well made. Instructions are very good. Easy to install. Seems to work as described. Have not tried to start my generator yet for my 4 ton ac, but will try soon. The blue tooth features is nice, but doesnt show same amperage as my clamp on ammeter reading inrush current. It reads higher on inrush and running amps, but at least it reduces current as is supposed to do. 5/22/23 Hooked up my Generac XT8000E generator today, and my 4 ton Lennox started fine with it, along with being connected to my home natural gas supply. My clamp-on ammeter showed starting amps at 34.5A. I am ready now for a power outage.

> 24 hourNothing bad about tech support just never had to contact them. I found the online wiring diagrams easier for me to follow then the supper detailed instructions. I only have about 20 starts so time will tell had good lasting the unit will be. That said, although a little costly I would highly recommend this, my starting amps went from 76 down between 25 and 29 amps for my 4 ton AC, so fell pretty confidant my 8000 Watt generator will work but havent tested yet. I like the Bluetooth and works very well but I would like to see about a $40 drop on the cost. It is built very will but wish it was small enough to mount inside the AC unit just to keep it out of the sun and heat.

> 24 hourThis product lowered the inrush current of my customers AC unit from 88amps to 24amp by the 5th start-up! We tested it while the home was under portable generator power and the customer was able to run his AC. Great product. I will be purchasing this for my own home.

> 24 hourSoft Starter brought down the on rush amps on my condenser from 109 amps to 27 amps. Run amps from 20 amps to 9amps. Made in USA support in Utah. Great product.

> 24 hourreduced AC LRA from 70A to 26A can now start central AC using 8750 watt surge generator, love the Bluetooth connection, suggest you really read install directions and watch the install videos not for your novice DIY person, very pleased with results. Received unit less than 5 days after ordered

> 24 hourThis device reduced my inrush current that allows me run a 4 ton central unit, a 3 ton central unit and a 2hp well pump on a 15kw Generac generator. The Hutch Mountain customer service was outstanding.

> 24 hourThis unit should exist on all AC condenser packages. The fan kicks on first, then the compressor comes on gently. I am amazed. I installed this primarily to help with my whole home generator handling the AC starting. The second reason is to help with light flicker in my shop. I guess the third plus is it will lengthen the life of the compressor. To note, the starting amp draw on my compressor went from 70amps down to 29 amps. Huge difference that my generator can handle easily now. The install went pretty easy. You will need two blue female spade connectors, and one yellow splice crimp, and one yellow spade connector. Those were for my condenser, so yours might be slightly different. The online directions are fairly easy to follow but could be laid out better. In all, I am very happy with the purchase and consider it money well spent.
