The one in the ads is. You can get a generic kit for $30 or $40 online. Here's an example. This one is for Dometic units.
Dometic Hard Start Kit
You basically have to pull the cover off the AC unit and follow the directions on where to plug the leads in.e
Two entirely different animals. Expensive? ... sell one of the Hondas, use part of the proceeds to pay for an Easy Start which is not the same as that Dometic hard start kit, pocket the difference, and enjoy the simplicity of powering your A/C with just one 2K genset. I don't see where the debate is but if you want testimonials just search this site for Easy Start. In the meantime here's an interesting Micro-Air Easy Start YouTube Video on how to install one of these units. :)
Not trying to argue here, but what is the difference between an Easy Start kit and a hard start kit? Is there something more to the Easy Start? I've seen posts where people are running their 13,600 A/C with a 2000 watt generator. My Honda EU3000is wouldn't start my 13,600 without the hard start capacitors on the A/C. So they must be doing something!
