Maxx Air Professional Grade Gable Mount | Power Attic Ventilator, 2.6-Amp 60-Hz Motor and 14-Inch Blade | Quiet Home Attic Fan 1300 CFM | 1,850 SQ. FT. (Red)

As any homeowner in a hot climate knows, managing attic temperatures is crucial for both comfort and energy efficiency. The Maxx Air Professional Grade Gable Mount Power Attic Ventilator is a game-changer, especially in the challenging conditions of a Florida summer. This unit’s installation and performance have exceeded my expectations, offering a quiet operation and effective ventilation that impacts the entire home. Firstly, the quietness of this attic ventilator is remarkable. Despite its powerful motor and 14-inch blade, the device runs with such a low level of noise that it’s comparable to a standard box fan. This is a significant advantage for those concerned about noise, as it can operate discreetly without disrupting daily life. My installation included eight screws for a secure mount and weatherproofing foam to reduce vibration and enhance noise absorption, further smoothing the fan's operation to a gentle hum. The power of the fan is immediately noticeable, with a strong airflow that effectively pulls cooler external air into the attic. This setup not only helps in reducing the overall temperature in the attic but also minimizes the burden on air conditioning systems, leading to potential savings on energy bills. The impact of the ventilator was dramatic and almost instantaneous. After mounting it to draw air into the attic, the change in indoor temperature was noticeable, making the living spaces below much more comfortable. This improvement in air quality and reduction in heat is particularly valuable during the intense heat of the summer months. In conclusion, the Maxx Air Professional Grade Gable Mount Power Attic Ventilator is an excellent investment for homeowners looking to enhance their attic ventilation efficiently and quietly. Its robust construction, powerful airflow, and quiet operation make it a standout product that I would highly recommend for anyone facing similar climatic challenges. Whether you’re looking to improve your home’s energy efficiency or simply make your attic space more bearable during the summer, this ventilator is up to the task.

So far so good. Has minimal sound however it does have some vibration. Very easy to install. Good air flow. Great value for the money

My application is as a gable vent fan to pull air through the attic to cool it in hot weather. This fan appears to be well made and functions properly. Installation was a breeze (pun) and I mounted it to 1/2 inch plywood with the thermostat and added a speed control (Speed Controller with On-Off Switch, 120 VAC 6.0 Amp Motor Variable Speed Controller for Ventilation Fans - $30 from Amazon). I also mounted the brackets on thick rubber washers to minimize noise and vibration. Regardless, the fan is noisier than I'd expected. It's not LOUD but I was expecting something quieter (very subjective, I know). Because it's in the attic it's fine. Good air flow and decent value for $110.

Quieter and working longer than previous fan.

It was installed in my gable over the garage and set at 100 degrees and it is now drawing the hot air out of that part of my attic. Before the attic fan, the attic temp use to be 115 - 125 degrees by early afternoon. The high attic temp caused the kitchen and small sitting area below it to be warmer than the other areas of the home and that was without the stove being used. Also, and not surprisingly, the air coming through the ducts to these areas would initially be warmer compared to other areas of the home. The sitting area is my wife's favorite spot. These factors culminated in my wife complaining while on her way to further lower the A/C thermostat setting. Hopefully, I can now keep the thermostat two degrees higher than her setting of 72 to 74 degrees. I don't expect her to hear the fan for the following reason. In its location, I can barely hear it from the adjacent kitchen. I used metal roofing screws with their rubber gasket to secure the fan shroud brackets to the wall.

Well made and quiet operation characteristics. Very pleased!

Really nice fan! Moves a lot of air, not overly noisy, and temperature switch is accurate.

Item arrived and made alot of noise. Went back to Amazon which had a very lengthy list of trouble shooting suggestions. RED FLAG! Why would you need this if it is a plug and play fan(after adding the electric plug)? Decided to order another fan to see if the quality is this bad. While waiting for the second order to arrive in two days, I worked on the first fan and found the fan blade was not attached correctly (tightened down) and was not correctly seated. Very poor quaility control! After making the adjustments, the fan worked as advertisted and I installed it. Three weeks later it meets all the review marks as listed on Amazon. However, when I tried to return the second unopened box, Amazon said I had to pay a $18.99 UPS shipping charge. Which I did under protest because the first fan if it had come correctly manufactured or checked by quaility control, I never would have ordered the second unit. Bottom line, I should have returned the first fan. Got my refund and installed the second fan ordered after making any adjustments if needed.
