  • Great Unit
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
Purchased Oct 2013 did self install. Not a professional just the handy kind of guy. Instructions were very explicit and easy to follow. Had not problems. Only used the unit 4 times in 5+ years but worth the money. Had a problem with the circuit board about 2 years in, was overcharging the battery. Called the nearest dealer, Brian’s Refrigeration Sardis OH, which is 50+ miles away. He was here in 2 days, replaces the board under warranty with a VERY minimal fee. I've read the negative reviews and is obvious that a good servicing dealer is the key to a happy customer. ... show more

  • sone features that would be nice.
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
several items that could a lot better. 1. No reset so if generator stops communicating with onCue you have to use a laptop to reload to reconnect. God forbid they put a reset button on it. 2. No current monitoring voltage and freq only. What good is that. I went to know what percentage of power like 50% 100% gee you think that would be useful 3. No way to set the start time for test. You have to manually start it set it at that particular time. It’s a nice unit and runs well and does the job but the above are very frustrating for me. ... show more

  • Kohler's Service techs not willing to work on these units
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
I purchased 2 of the 20RESAL units that were installed in May 2014. They both have the same hunting issues. We added the tubes on the demand regulators to try to solve issues and it did not help. Software was upgraded. Still have the hunting issues. When we take cover off of end where battery is located, generator runs good put cover on and it hunts. Contacted Kohler, they gave phone number for tech 400 miles away, they said we were out of their area. Contacted local service techs listed on Kohler website and when they ask what model the unit is they say that it is a retail model and they do not know anything about them and could not help. Before purchasing unit I contacted Kohler and asked what the difference between RESA and RESAL, they said only difference is the controller, other than that units are identical. When purchasing a new unit you should not be faced with all of these problems. A unit should be running correctly out of the box. Kohler should not be passing these problems on to the consumer. When you purchase a new car you expect to drive it off the lot and go, not take it directly to a garage to make it run correctly. I am very disappointed in the tech service available for Kohler generators and am warning future owners to make sure there is a service tech nearby willing to help resolve issues with unit you intend to purchase. We are still trying to get someone willing to help us and it has been nearly 5 months since units have been installed. Very disappointed in Kohler's service. I am located 80 miles south of Chicago IL. ... show more

  • Be careful with this purchase.
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
Be careful with this purchase. A few things I found out after it was delivered out of the US (so no way to return it): 1) double the price you pay for the generator for installation and have it up and running (a search afterwards showed that this is readily available knowledge, but I didn't know because it wasn't written here)... maybe even more than double depending on where you put it and the size of your house. 2) even though you get it online pay for a Kohler authorized service person to come out and "commission" it. this means they stand there while it's turned on for the first time and do the warranty registration. I did the warranty registration myself. When a non-authorized person (including the purchaser) registers the unit, the warranty start date goes back to the day it left the factory. My unit was in an Amazon warehouse for almost a year. This shaves an entire year off my warranty and there's nothing they will do for you. My local rep. said that it would have only cost $100 for him to come out to commission it but it was too late because I had called in the registration myself. Kohler HQ validated this. I just lose a year off my warranty. 3) it is a "known issue" that the engine needs to be tuned so that it idles better. My local rep wanted $200 to come out and do this. Remember that these costs are after I spent $5000 on top of the price of the generator to have it installed and hooked up. 4) they made this bundle with the least flexible controller so any adjustments like exercise interval and length has to be done by a technician even if you buy the interactive OnCue software. Kohler unapologetically tells you this after the fact. All that being said, it's nice to have lights, AC and not worry about your fridge when the power goes out. Where I live, it's very very often. ... show more

  • good product poor customer service
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
I am a "Mastered retired Electrical" contractor, 63 Y/O I guess I just saved my friend a boat load of $$, On and existing 200 Amp Service I just installed a Kohler 20 KW, with carb heater, 200 a ATS,and a 8 ckt Load Shed panel Existing, EL, meter & MCB on opposite side of house, gen set 15 feet from gas meter, ats 135' (cable length) feet from gen set , I also did the 1 1/4" nat gas line x 17' long,, The entire job took 40 hours total labor, no cahre for the labor, by myself, including everything. I like to think I did a "class A " job, all items run plumb and level and perpendicular and all secured well, Load shed panel I installed semi flush, material shopping, scopping the job, he had the pad poured. I must say that the 20 KW is a nice little unit, but the seperate Load shed panel, really makes the system work slick! Gas stove and WH, but we do have 3 AC units and two out buildings, large garages, Frig and freezers, I did have a question for Kohler during installation however they never returned my calls 3 calls ... show more

  • Best generator on the market
Style: 200 Amp Transfer Switch
Best generator on the market. I bought this and I had to use it for 12 hours and it was like nothing ever happened, was on before I knew it was out. Was asleep and my Mom called me and said, " is your power out?" I said no why? She said there was sub station that lost power and 20% of them people were out of power. Love the security and has never let me down. If you dont know how to install these you shouldnt leave bad reviews on tech support and customer service. I never had 1 issue. ... show more
