"If you are going to use a generator as a secondary power at your home or farm and integrate it into an existing panel, this device is the way to do it. It is relatively easy to install but you will need some basic electrical knowledge. Don't try to make one!! It is too difficult and will cost you dearly in time and parts. The switch is a well constructed, absolutely essential, piece of electrical interface equipment. I like the color coding of the switches and the wires. Watt meters are a must for load balance and initial hook up testing. (i.e. you know what you really have on THAT circuit. No guessing!) Makes a safe and professional looking installation."

"I purchased one a while ago. It sat in the box for a time frame. We finally lost power one day. I ran extension cords all over the house, even into the basement. Power came on about 6 hours later. Two days after that, power went out again. I said forget it. I tripped the main breaker and wired in the transfer switch. It took about 2 hours to complete this task. Hooked up the generator to switch and I was back in the lights again. Now when we lose power, I wheel the generator over to basement window, hook into switch and have power. No more fighting the orange power cord spaghetti mess anymore."

"Had transfer switch installed by electrician in less than three hours for 5. It works perfectly with my 5,500 watt portable generator. Very simple to operate. In the past I had to run numerious extension cords through out my hourse when we lost power. Wow, how convenient not to have to do that anymore! Almost looking forward to bad weather to try it out for real!"
