Another common pitfall arises when consumers base their choice solely on the visual appeal of wind turbines. Although various designs exist, performance should be prioritized. Horizontal axis turbines currently deliver the best efficiency and power production, and prospective buyers should focus on known models with a proven track record rather than merely attractive designs.

Always seek independent verification of manufacturer claims. Not all small wind turbine products on the market are created equal; numerous low-quality options exist alongside reputable suppliers. Look for certifications, power curves, and sound levels from independent testing organizations before making a purchase.
