I bought this fan for cooling my dorm room in winter. I would normally just open my window in winter to let cold air in but i have several plants I keep near the window in question and have learned that the cold air absolutely will kill them. So my room gets hot and stuffy if my door was closed. Having many roommates I can either have a cool loud room or a hot quiet one. But here's the brain wave, in summer I have a portable ac unit with one of those 6" hoses that goes to the window. In winter I like to put in the basement cause it's large and can't be used to suck outside air in it only exhausts, what if I left the hose?
Now i can direct the cold air and it's no where near my plants! Great! Expect that actually not that much cold air just comes in. This is where that fans comes into play, it happens to fit perfectly on the hose and sucks fresh cold air. When coupled with their speed controller and a thermostat plug I have a little climate control system that can be easily adjusted to the current need. I made a little mount out of some plywood to hold it in place and it's great. The design lets me flip the fan around so that I can either suck air in out push it out, this is great if you wanna get an unwanted smell out... maybe your college mates life ending flatulence... or whatever.
When I was making I was a dumb hence the head line, I plugged it in and held it against the hose to try and see how much air would pull through and didn't put the guards on. This was dumb... the fan blades caught a tab and nearly took my finger off, instead one of the blades broke off and went falling across the room, totally user error there, since I had nothing left to loose because you can't use it with a broken blade as it's off balance and vibrates so aggressively small furniture moves around, I decided to try just gluing the blade back on with IPS 16 and acrylic glue... Amazingly! this has worked fine though i still sometimes cower in fear of it shoot that blade into my tv. Moral of the story just put the guards on it
Anyway about the fan
+pretty quiet, I heard quieter but definitely get the speed controller to really hush it up, probably quieter than most range hood
+moves a lot of air going all out with good static pressure, I can feel it come under the door
+very well built, outside ring thiccc aluminum
+price is very good compared to other inline duct blowers, even is that's not what it's supposed to be
+is constantly exposed to freezing temperatures and works just fine, I mean it's an electric motor...
-the mounting hole pattern is a little weird, but its a weird size and shouldn't matter
-I don't really like the way the detachable power cable connects, kind of some small pins that angle out at a 45 instead of tucking against the frame neatly, the connector doesn't really feel like its seats all the way down, without felling like you're going to break or bend the pins, but you should really only do that once, and will not come off, so really just a nit pick
-speed control is separate aka spend more money... but being able to mix and match in their line up of products is very nice as you don't have to buy a more expensive one with it built in
Good fan
great for venting
will run probably a long time
don't be dumb like me
get the speed controller, unless you have it far away in a green house or something?
oh have had it for like 3 months or something

Customer Review: Moves a lot of air but loud

Great Performance In Kitchen Vent Hood Retrofit
I used two of these for a kitchen exhaust hood retrofit. I have weird old box design that had a spotty working blower and I didn't wanna do a full replacement of the entire ducting and such. Enter these muffin fans. They work great and pull air better than the old unit did. They are loud though and it was especially bad in my application because they were resonating on the sheet metal and ducting but after some sound dampening with automotive dampening material I've made them manageable. I'd rather they be noisy and work than quiet and not, I also knew they weren't gonna be quiet when I got them so there's that. I've had them installed since October 20 and it's now July 21 and thevs performed flawlessly.
