The reviews on almost all of those wind turbines are terrible.

The turbines produce no power at all, they dont produce anything near rated voltage, they wildly exaggerate about total power or they have to be manually altered just to assemble. Sometimes its all of the above.

Home commodity wind isn't there yet.
