Champion 201192 30A 8-Circuit
#11 in 30 AFull review
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.

3.5/5
The complete HomeLink kit with a resin inlet box. Buy whichever of the 6853 and 6854 is cheaper on the day.

Generac HomeLink 6854 30A Kit
#12 in 30 AFull review
The complete HomeLink kit with an aluminum inlet box, ready for an electrician to install. A good one box buy for a 30 A generator owner who may go standby later.

#14 in 30 AFull review
The Pro/Tran 2 successor to the popular 31406CRK, with everything needed for a small backup setup. A good fit for a fridge, furnace and a few lights on a 30 A generator.
