Keith, Feedback on these and other VAWTS? Oh, you bet! Bottom line....there are no commercially viable VAWTS on the market today. Only lots of spinny things we call kinetic lawn art. To be more precise....most will generate power but almost none are able to generate energy in an efficient, cost effective manner. Especially on a rooftop or near the ground where the VAWT marketing promotes their installation. And if you read further about Helix, they just agreed to acquire all assets of Abundant Renewable Energy...the makers of the ARE 110 and 442. It appears that the VAWT people have caught on to the fact that HAWTS are where the money is. That's not to say that there's not a lot of crappy HAWTS out there... but that's a story for another time ;-) I'm not against VAWTS, just deceptive marketing and scams. Someday someone will come up with a viable VAWT and I'll probably give it a try. Hasn't happened yet....
