We live off-grid, on our 40 foot sailboat (currently in the Florida Keys). Our floating home is self-sufficient with solar panels, lithium iron phosphate batteries, an electric motor, reverse osmosis desalination watermaker and all of the comforts of most homes - even a washing machine. We needed to be able to operate our watermaker, which includes a 1hp motor. Startup, with the watermaker connected to the inverter, would trip the breaker on our distribution panel, requiring us to power the process with a portable generator, until we learned about the GS11 Soft Starter. Let me tell you - we are able to run the watermaker, using our lithium batter bank, as though we were connected to shore power. No glitches, no hiccups, no issues at all. The GS11 is super simple to use. You just plug it into the three-pronged outlet and then plug in your appliance to the GS11. No instructions or wiring needed. We couldn't be happier with the unit and the life-sustaining functionality it gives us for living off-the-grid. It is one of the most important pieces of equipment we have on our boat, affording us the ability to make drinkable water. Thanks, Raymond Innovations for such a great solution that is made in the USA!!

This resolved the problem. Works as expected. Highly recommended .

It's always hook on my inverter for power tool no more kick of throttle. My inverter run super smooth can start a drop saw at the same time my compressor running 3000 Honda inverter

And it does exactly what they said it would do. Machine doesn't slam on anymore. Much easier on the belts and rotating parts.

We needed a way to start a chop saw with a universal motor on remote jobsites. Previously, the inrush current from the saw was so high that a 50 ampere circuit breaker was required, even though the FLA of the saw is only 15 amperes. This soft starter was the answer! We have NEVER tripped a circuit breaker while starting the saw since we installed this simple "plug and play" product.

Good morning. I just wanted to reach out to let you know that you guys have a fantastic product! I'm not sure if you have seen/heard about the new onboard generators in the F150s or not, but it's incredible. Mine has 7,200 watts available for tools, campers, etc. When I found out my concrete core drill wouldn't work due to the high in rush current, I was pretty bummed. That's where you guys come along. Your GS11 starter saved the day! I can now officially run every tool on my jobsites, without a stand alone generator! Keep doing what you guys are doing, your product rocks! -John

Thanks for this. Just got it by airfreight from US to Kenya. When we’re on our small generator which is OFTEN! I haven’t been able to use various appliances cos of the vicious cut in amps which I always worried would damage the brushes sparking on the slip rings and subsequent potential damage from pitting, and the smaller genny cutting out cos the breaker can’t handle the grinder etc instantaneous start up amps. Anyway it works SO WELL! Many thanks Guys.

I can finally use my electric chainsaw with my portable gas generator without overloading it with inrush current. Completely satisfied.

GS11 Universal Soft Starter (20A max. Heavy duty)

Purchased to use with older high powered routers that lack soft start. Works great and has extended the life of these routers

Fuckin A+ is right works great yo.

Works fine with my Ryobi 12 in 15 amp miter saw. I have not used it yet with my table saw but I do not expect any issues.

I really like the Universal Soft Starter!! The saw starts up smoothly without a jerk like it did before. If I would need another one for a different machine I would order one from Raymond Innovations,LLC. Thank you! Lester.

I didn't installed it yet,but if it works like the soft starter built in my deep well grundfoss submersible pump it will certainly help starting others capacitor equipped pumps run with my sinewave inverter.

My inverter is much happier with this between it and power tools.
