5 Stars
Works great!!
I've seen the negative reviews 🙄This is a $21 fan! You want something quieter? Pay the money. This fan does exactly as it should. I don't need it to be on like the A/C. I need it to extract the bad air and or steam when I need it to. Saved me a few dollars and was an easy install.
