    Thanks for the correction Jared. It really is baffling that air conditioners - both RV and household - don't have an soft starts installed from the factory - seems like its beneficial for all the components involved. As a creator - I understand the desire not to let folks down in person - the control we have by being able to edit and publish is awesome and helpful, but also comes at a cost. Having met you in person I can confidently say, you're not letting anyone down brother - you are on camera as you were off. Keep up the good work!

    I appreciate your honesty!
    I looked up your Eco-Cool Air Conditioner. On the manufacturer site it states that you Don't Need to Add On a Soft Start. I get that your generator could not handle it with 2500w peak 1850w continuous because it was still has way high Start Up Amps at 48amps/5500w. Adding a Soft Start buffered it down to under 20amps, Wow! I am surprised that the Colman started on your generator because 29amps/3300w is still way above 2500w.
    We are Off Grid so soft start and efficiency are very important. We purchased the RecPro by Houghton that has 15k Air and Heat Pump which specifically states that it is Soft Start and you don't need to install a Soft Start! We have no problems starting on our inverters and our larger backup generators but I have not tested the startup amperage so who knows how it compares? Of course it is when the compressor starts that draws the huge startup amperage, it would be interesting to know what mine draws? One thing I like about your Eco-Cool is the controls on the unit itself. The RecPro has a lousy almost useless controller on the unit so you must use the remote! The Eco-Cool seems very nice, quieter and higher quality.
    Ours is very quiet on the ducted front unit and the bedroom non/ducted us of course a little louder. Having roof top air with actual temperature control is so necessary not like our original bedroom air with High/Med/Low. RecPro has multiple speeds also, not variable like a minisplit. When it gets over 107F we do use both units, even with a metal carport over our RV. We are very happy with the low power usage. I do not think it is a quiet as your Eco-Cool for sure.

I REALLY appreciate you doing a soft start install, too. Tho Tosot is advertised as having a variable speed compressor as well and I really did not know what that meant or if it would be a good thing. You cleared the air for me. Thanks

    If I had a nickel for every mistake I've made, I could retire. It happens to everyone. But by correcting it and not hiding it you're doing better than 90% of other people.
    I put a soft starter on my AC and it's one of the best upgrades I've done. I can easily run the AC on a 20amp connection even with a few other small things (fans, computer, fridge, etc) running. I can even run it fine on 15amps, provided I'm careful and don't have anything but maybe a fan on while it's starting. I wish I'd installed it sooner because I could have saved a few hundred dollars on my generator instead of getting a huge 3600 watt unit.
    Hopefully I run into you on the road someday.

    I felt just as bad as you when I discovered the Gree air conditioner false claims that it was a variablespeedcompressorand that it didn't need a soft start. I installed the SoftStartRV and solved the big problem, so now it runs off my Lithionics 320ah Lithium battery and Xantrex 3000w inverter. The Gree air conditioner is quiet and uses about 30% less power. Plus it has a heat pump. Congratulations on taking others advice and recognizing a soft start installation was the solution.

    I'm glad my information comments and soft start Installation video on my Gree air conditioner helped you better understand your Gree Eco cool air conditioner video and correct the information you were putting out on it. With your addition of the MicroAir EasyStart you can now enjoy the Eco Cool air conditioner and heat pump off a small generator or 3000w inverter and Lithium batteries. The Gree air conditioner is quiet and uses about 30% less power compared to my old Dometic Penguin ll. It also puts out 425cfm as compared to the 300cfm of my Dometic. So it really gives quite an increase in cooling. I have an Atmos 4.4 air conditioner which is exactly the same unit as the Eco Cool, it manufactured by Gree and just branded differently.
