Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Our high performance, reliable WindMax wind turbine features advanced electromagnetic over speed control, aerodynamic blade speed limitation, solar/wind dual output capability, reliable light weight generator design using die-casting technique and high performance rare earth neodymium magnets, advanced airfoil designed blades made of mixed nylon and reinforced fiber glass using injection molding and thermoplastic technologies for consistency, high strength. HYenergy Windmax Wind Turbines are the one of the most well built, reliable, most efficient and cost-effective small wind turbines available on the market today. The HYenergy Wind turbine system is the perfect choice in a smart investment for a renewable energy solution built on advanced technologies. The HYenergy wind turbine system defines a new level of superior performance and reliability in the small wind turbine industry. Brushless, strong Neodymium magnet PMA, unique winding and multi pole design reduce the start-up torque of the alternator to assure the HYenergy wind turbine have great performance at low wind speed. Designed with both reliability and performance in mind, HYenergy Wind Turbines feature maintenance free design, high reliability and consistent performance. The result: greater energy production yield for all wind speeds and lowest ownership cost. A small home wind turbine is a long term investment. Windmax H series wind turbines lead the small wind turbine industry by eliminating problematic mechanical furling over speed control which requires a lot of maintenance and causes wind turbine failure. Windmax H series wind turbine improves the reliability and performance by advanced electromagnetic speed limitation supplemented by aerodynamic speed limitation by blade deformation. Electromagnetic braking is used in combination with Aerodynamic braking to reduce the rotational speed of the generator in high wind condition.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I purchased the 1200 watt 5 blade wind turbine Windmax and it arrived today so I have not yet installed but will report on that when I do.
The package did not come with a packing slip. The plastic envelope on the outside of the box where the slip is often located was empty and it was not inside the box. It was packed well, but the screws were out of the plastic package and were lose within a compartment. The equipment appeared to come from China because of the English and Chinese symbols on the turbine housing. Visually, the equipment looked good with a nice white painted finish. The wind tail rudder was larger than the picture showed and it appeared very effective. I noticed the unit was heavier than I expected, and it had a rugged quality about it.
There were no installation instructions per say, but they did include a "Wind Turbine Guidebook," which covered five of the HYenerty models. Their Turbine Guidebook was photo copied or they ran it off on a printer that was losing ink because the last four pages were poor quality....some of the words were badly faded and it is difficult to read.
What they didn't tell you in the online sales pitch was that they do not warranty the turbine if you install it yourself. In fact, they specify that you should not even purchase it unless you have someone professionally install it for you. And they must approve the installer, which is never stated in their on-line written sales pitch. They include a four page document with all the reasons why they won't give you a warranty, and all the hoops you have to jump through to have them consider replacing a defective unit. The vendor especially insists that you even have to find an installer who must first contact them for approval before purchase and installation.
I read their Wind Turbine Guidebook, and the assembly/installation process is not difficult and its pretty straight forward.

We got the turbine up and running in just a few hours! It fit easily onto a standard 2" steel pipe. It only weighed
about 50 pounds so it wasn't too difficult to mount. It came with a charge controller included which was nice. The controller has it's own dump load and has 3 led lights indicating what it's doing. Later we will add solar panels to the unit. Once the wind picked up the turbine started spinning wonderfully. The output was better than expected and quickly charged 8 12-volt deep cycle batteries. We had the batteries running into an outback off-grid inverter which handled the output of the turbine quite easily. So far I am very pleased with this purchase!

I bought this turbine a year ago and it has been working perfectly.
I checked several sites and found this to be the best priced.
I am planing to get another one in about 3 months.
Highly recommended.
