Reliance Pro/Tran 2 R306A Outdoor
#10 in 30 AFull review
An outdoor six circuit switch that doubles as the inlet, so the generator plugs straight into it. Good for houses where the panel is on an outside wall or in a garage.

A complete 30 A kit with an unusually long cord and easy rocker switching. Good for owners who want the generator parked well away from the house.
