The $20 kits are generally an additional start capacitor. These work great on the older models that had none. Most of the newer models already have this feature and the kit would have limited effect.
Without getting into the electrical engineering of AC motors, a larger or an additional starting capacitor could making starting current draw worse !
EasyStart by Micro-Air is a highly recommended soft starter.
Please, if you would, get into electrical engineering and explain to us how additional capacitance will raise AC motor starting current line draw.
