Better options
Would Not RecommendOne of the breakers was wonky. You needed to put pressure on it for it to work properly.

See above.
Would RecommendI like that the unit comes prewired and is simple to connect in the panel. However, the short piece of metal flex is a bad design. I threw mine away and simply wrapped my wires in tape.

Not Automatic
Would Not RecommendIt is not an Automatic Transfer switch. It is manual & is clearly noted on the box. Lowes should correct their description!
