Reversible Window Exhaust Fan for Bathroom: 10" Blade Fan with Intake

Attic bedroom REALLY needed an exhaust fan! While we've used a window model to pull heat out during the day, the bring cool air in at night, only one window was installed high enough to pull the heat accumulated at the ceiling. We didn't build the house but I sure would have done it differently if we had. I read the reviews and the mfr instructions that this fan is ONLY for *wall installation*! but we already had a hole in the ceiling where the stovepipe (from the wood stove downstairs - that we removed) went, so I thought "what's the worst that can happen if we put it in the ceiling?" It's an absolutely perfect fit! We removed the "metal frame" for the stovepipe, cut the hole about a half inch larger on one side for the 10" fan, screwed the fan mounting into the wood framing like it was made for this fan. The ceiling placement is near the light switch w/ an electrical outlet BUT the fan's electrical cord would be perfect IF IT WAS 12 INCHES LONGER! As it is, I had to mount an extension cord to the wall. We only use the "exhaust" function to suck the heat accumulated at the ceiling outside - I can only imagine the "creepy crawly" things the fan would bring in... The shutters work perfectly (after clearing away insulation that could obstruct opening and closing). We've had it running practically 24/7 since installing it and it's kept the bedroom 10° to 15° cooler! Personally, I like the "white noise" of the fan, so I can't complain about it. On the other hand - since the fan is close to the TV, and husband watches TV upstairs, he has to turn up the volume 🤷‍♀️ meh, it's fine. So, turns out you can indeed mount it in the ceiling without terrible repercussions! Great fan for the price, easy to install, and works well. I gave it 5 stars but would dock it half a star for the short electrical cord - c'mon guys, would another foot kill you?

Replaced my old tired vent fan in the shop. Its nearly all plastic, but it works very well. Easy to install, my order didn’t have any instructions but, it is very straightforward so no issues. Air flow is good either fan or vent, the noise level is fairly low, it’s comparable to an oscillating fan. My only complaint if I had one would be the plug length was a tiny bit short. But again easily remedied. Over all for the cost I am pleased with the product and performance. It has helped regulate the temps in my small shop with little electrical draw.

Update: I FIXED IT!!! One thing I don't like about American fan companies is that you can't easily (if at all) take a modern appliance apart, clean it, and fix it, like you could in the "old" days. This little fan can be taken apart and cleaned - with a little logical thinking. I also opened the electrical switch section to check the wire connections: All good: no sign of a short or corrosion. But when I opened the on/off switch section - I found just a little bit of grime - and that little bit got in the way of the connections, stopping the fan from turning on. With a little rubbing alcohol and a small cotton swab, cleaned it up, put it all back together, and now the fan runs like new again. Yippee! How's that for a girl who has never done this before? So, if I can do it ... Dear Manufacturer: How about a Youtube video to show people how to do this? :) (And maybe a six foot cord on future models.) Original: When I first received this fan a little over 1 year ago, it was finicky for unknown reason. Somehow, got it working and it's been working fine for some time. Then it stopped. It's not being finicky this time, it just stopped. The switch works and I can cycle through the three settings: exhaust, intake, off-and-close-shutters. But it the fan won't come on, at all. I thought maybe it couldn't handle the cold, so brought it inside to test it at room temperature, but it still won't start. Would appreciate it if company would contact me for troubleshooting steps. Thank you.

Excellent fan! I bought this fan to install in front of an A/C vent that has very little air coming out of it. It is a reversible fan and I have no use for that feature, thought it works very good is this mode too. It is a simple action of one pull on the cord for out exhaust and two pulls to get the pulling in of the air. This fan is working so good that I bought a second on for on other vent in my work shop that also had very low air volume. For the first time, both vents are now making the shop area very comfortable. They are easy to install and are reasonably quiet. I am very happy with this fan!

This little fan was great while it lasted...it provided strong airflow in both directions. But...after only 7 months, it just stopped working. This is not a cheap fan....it should last longer than that. And oddly enough, I find no info about a warranty. Go figure. Beside the fact that it stopped working, one other major complaint: I built a wooden frame around it, so I could take it in and out of the window as needed, just like an actual window fan. Since there is no switch on the face of the fan, you have to use the pull cord which is at the bottom of the unit. Unless you build a frame and leave quite a few inches at the bottom for you to be able to access the cord, then you simply can't get to it because the window sill is in the way. So...if you build a frame to use it in a window as I did, leave a good 5-6 inch gap under the unit so you can actually turn it on and off.

Value for money

I like this fan, it was definitely one of the lowest cost options - however I had it placed in a small bathroom window venting to the outside - the wind outside would sometimes blow strongly against the window and you could hear the fan noticeably slow down. The louvers did not do much to prevent wind resistance. After 3 months of daily use running about 8 hours a day, it died. This is all plastic construction except for the motor. Runs quietly and is reversible (can vent out or blow in). It moved plenty of air for an 8x8 bathroom. I think it would work well between rooms or in an area where it doesn’t fight against the air flow.

I've had one of these fans running non-stop for over a year at this point. I have this fan in the window of the bathroom where I keep my cat's litter box. It's the perfect size for the small privacy window in that bathroom. The airflow keeps the cat box smells from freezing the rest of the house. It's very quiet and doesn't bother me despite being in the room next to my bedroom. I even dropped it into the porcelain tub by mistake, and it still continued to run for over a year.

Easy to install if your site is prepped etc. Does the job fine, what more is there to say? Quality of finish is good and the unit feels sturdy enough.

Ottimo in estrazione, mentre in aspirazione inutile. Bello alla vista. Ma il materiale di qui è fatto ( plastica morbida ) lascia a desiderare, specialmente il corpo dove va fissato. Comunque il tutto è proporzionato al prezzo.

Perfecto para lo que se necesito

La descipción me dio a entender que la persiana que tiene para bloquear el aire cuando está apagado podría ser automática: No lo es. Es necesario darle a la cuerdecia para abrirla/cerrarla. Puede parecer una tontería, pero impide que se pueda programar el ventilador y que la persiana se cierre automáticamente cuando el programador lo apaga. Por otra parte, hace mucho ruido. Las aspas no parecen ni bien pulidas ni equilibradas, así que no sorprende. En modo inverso, es decir, metiendo aire desde la persiana hacia la rejilla, hace aún más ruido, siendo totalmente impracticable tenerlo en ese modo. Tengo la sensación de que atornillar un ventilador convencional a la pared hubiera resultado en mejor relación coste-beneficio.
