A/C easy start

I have an '18 eagle HT with 2 a/c units. What quick start device is everybody using? I assume you I need one for each unit. I see one is over $300 and another is a little over $100. They seem easy enough to install, just cut and splice ")

X-2 on the Micro-Air.
Had it now for 5 years. No issues.

Micro Air , yes one for each unit. In the long run I believe these will help on longevity of the AC units. Slow easy ramp up, instead of that sudden draw of Amps at start up. I can run my 13,500 Ac with a Champion 2500 watt duel fuel inverter with the soft start

Micro-Air easy start here too.
Works great. I can start and run my 13500 AC from my Yamaha 2000 watt generator. It even starts with the genny in eco mode. Before I got the easy start the genny would always stall before the AC got up to speed.

I have not seen one for $100 but the other 2 - MicroAir and Softstart are $299.

Both make their owners happy!

I recently installed a Micro-Air Easy Start. It took only about a half hour to install and works great. I can't believe I delayed so long to get this.

Micro-air easy start. Before installing my 15k btu AC would overload both my 3100W champion and Honda 2200 generators after about 5-10 minutes. After installing East Start either generator can run the AC without overloading.
