Our soft starters are software-controlled using the latest technology.
Adding a soft start function to your power tools, pumps, etc. has never been so simple, just plug it in! And the best part, it's so simple and versatile that you can soft start your other compatible equipment as well. You can even leave multiple devices plugged into the soft starter at all times via a splitter or power strip. Just remember, only use one device at a time and make sure that the GS10 or GS11 maximum current rating is not exceeded by your equipment. Onward!
IMPORTANT:
-This product is not intended to reduce overall current consumption.
-This product model is not compatible with digital applications, air compressors, air conditioners, or dehumidifiers.

I plan to use this for other tools but initially using it to run a Kobalt 13 amp mower with my ecoflow and jackery power stations. Without the GS10, circuit would immediately kick off. Mower starts gently every time now. GS10 is indispensable if you want to run electric motors off of battery power.
I installed this on by 110 VAC 20A well pump motor circuit. Before the installation, every time the pump motor would cycle, the lights in certain parts of the house would blink, some blinking was worse than others. Now that the unit is installed on that circuit, the light blinking issue has stopped. Installation is easy. Just plug it in and let it do its function.
Installed the GS11 for my Dewalt 779 saw. The torque created by the motor without the GS11 would cause the saw to jump up with more force than I would like. Installed the GS11 and the saw jump was gone on start up. Much nicer using the 12" Dewalt 779.
I have a 1 HP water pump I want to run off an inverter. Before installing the GS11 the surge in demand at power on would shut the inverter down. Using the slow start and 7 second ramp settings the starting electrical demand is reduced and the pump runs as desired. Highly recommended.
This thing helped a 1hp Goulds 7GBS1014RO to run with the Ecoflow Delta Pro. Which had too much inrush current. Now can run this pump remotely off a portable power station. It also solved the problem of the miter saw tripping a Daul funtion breaker QO120DFC which is the older style. Which are notorios for tripping when a saw is turned on that breaker. I do not have that issue with QO120PAFGF breaker the newer plug on neutral breakers never had an issue with them. THe gs11 stopped the tripping dead in its tracks. Great product.
