After looking at a number of transfer switches I settled on the Q510. It went it very easily and it took me a weekend to finish the job (not working full time). I like the prewired harness and the ability to replace/switch breakers in the panel.
I have a 7500 w portable generator and it works fine using this panel. A bit pricey (you can get cheaper ones from GeneratorsDirect that have fewer circuits), but I like having the flexibility that the 10 circuit panel provides. I now have all my water pumps (sump, septic, and well), a few lighting circuits, and my water heater on line if I need them (you would have to rotate loads of course, using the generator I have). I left the leads long enough so if I change my mind I can move the water heater feed over to my furnace/air handler (also 30 amps). I probably won't need it since I have a wood stove and fireplace, but its an option anyway.
Nice to have peace of mind. I recommend this product.
