Installed it basically to put 2 kayaks on top of the car instead of just one. Installation was pretty easy and it is nice the way it can be folded down for convenience. Handled the job just fine. Put two 15 ft sit-on-top kayaks on the TrailBlazer's factory installed rack with the Stacker.

Before I bought the Thule 830 I looked at the 835XT which is extremely popular around New England. Retail price for two 835s (to hold two kayaks) is well over 250 bucks as of this writing. Sure, it's probably easier to load a kayak on the 835 instead of the 830, but it's not just the price, it's also the added wind resistance and possible drop in gas mileage that could result.
The Thule 830 is a little bit more complicated to use, but it's more versatile than more expensive models. The two center rests fold down when not in use (and thus reduces drag) and it can handle up to four kayaks if your roof is big enough. It's a little more difficult to use than the 835 because there's no cradle for you to just plop the kayak into. Instead, you have to sort of balance the Kayak against the two posts while you tie it down. Also, the other drawback is that the straps provided are really only intended for one kayak. You could perhaps push it and use them for two, but another set of straps is probably best.
Installation on a Honda factory installed rack was easy. From the looks of the instructions, the 830 should be adaptable to most car roof racks. But check with Thule if you're in doubt.
I'm definitely pleased with this model. There really was no other choice given the price and versatility.

Attached easily to a 2003 Honda Odyssey with factory bars. Only bad aspect, the Odyssey doesn't have easily accessible rear tie downs, so the rear tie down melted by being too close to the muffler.

These units work great. I secured them to my jeep cherokee luggage rack and with them I can carry both of my kayaks (13 ft each) on the roof in a secure and safe mode. The stackers work great and I highly recommend them.
Worked great! July 13, 2009

I bought this for a 500+ mile drive to Minnesota and we had two kayaks (11' and 15') strapped down to it and it worked beautifully! I would recommend buying an extra set of the pulley cords though because those were really handy! It can be done without them but on my next trip I will definitely be buying some more of those! Overall, the carrier worked great! It did everything it promised!
