iLiving - 16" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation, 1200 CFM, 1800 SQF Coverage Area (Power Cord Not Included)

I'm very pleased with how easy it was to install and its robustness, quality, and efficiency. The noise level from this fan is neglegable given its CFM flowrate. I measured power usage @120VAC as 0.81 Amps and 95 Watts. I needed for dust and paint-fume evacuation in my basement. I often spray paint small projects there and have been using a simple box fan in a window to keep fumes from wafting into the upstairs living areas, but it wasn't as effective as I would have liked. After installing this new unit, the amount of airflow is so high that even with another basement window open for airflow, the negative pressure generated by this exhaust fan is still sufficient to pull air from the upstais living areas, resulting in absolutely no odor from paint spraying, or any other activity in the basement entering the upstairs living areas. Problem solved. I could also see how this fan would be effective for cooling.

Use in the attic gable. Works good. Lowered temp. Noise level is not bad. Variable speed. Thermostat seems fairly accurate.

I mounted it on plywood and installed in an upstairs window for cross ventilation in my upstairs. It has helped keep my home cooler this summer and the thermostatic switch lets it be set so temperature increasing turns it on and then off at night.

I was in the market for a greenhouse fan or two and decided to take a chance on these. I wasn't really familiar with the brand and these aren't well known in greenhouse circles, but looked to be appropriate. I have been quite satisfied overall after a couple months of use. I used an online calculator to figure out what CFM rating would be needed to replace the entire volume of air in my 10x12 greenhouse every minute. I determined that one of these fans and one 16 inch louver would be almost adequate for the greenhouse. Knowing that these fans were vital to the cooling operation of my greenhouse, I decided to double that and go with two fans and two louvers. This allows complete failure of one of the fans without accidentally killing off my valuable crops. It also provided for installation symmetry, which added a lot of visual appeal in my greenhouse. I wired these fans up to an Inkbird temperature controller and easily can keep my greenhouse temperature from climbing too high. They do their job quite well and a big part of that was over-designing the system slightly. Most of the time, they turn on for less than 30 seconds and turn off until the temperatures again rise. On the warmest of days, they do run quite frequently, but that's the deal with a greenhouse. I am lucky to live in Alaska and can use ambient air temperatures exclusively for cooling pretty much all summer. The 16 inch fans use just under 90 watts each, or 175 watts total between the two fans. According to my killowatt, that results in a couple dollars per month in operating cost. Noise-wise, these are not silent fans as they move some serious air. They sound similar to a mower at a distance, which might be a problem in a suburban area, but not for me out in the sticks. They have been generally quite reliable and were fairly easy to install into the greenhouse after framing out the space for them. The louver operation is pretty much perfect, it encloses my space when not in operation and I haven't had any issues with them failing to close properly. My only gripes are that the fans did not include any of the electrical wiring components or mounting hardware. I had to supply a power cord with a pig-tail and also the washers/screws for physically mounting the device. I suppose this allows the installer a bit of flexibility, but it did mean an extra trip to the hardware store for me. I also get a bit of vibration in the greenhouse from their operation, but this is probably to be expected from such a large fan. The bottom line is I would buy exactly these fans again, assuming they hold up for the long term. They worked really well in a greenhouse application. If anything changes, I'll update this review, but overall I'm happy with the purchase.

Just installed this 16” exhaust fan in my chicken coop’s cupola vent. I was using a cheap box fan that I had running via thermostat controller and I knew it wouldn’t last long (about a year). I did remove the shutters as the fan is in roof of the coop. Works great bringing the interior of 30’ by 10’ coop to outside ambient temperatures. I am confident this will last for years as I have two similar exhaust fans on one wall and they have been running for about 2 1/2 years. Also, the new fan is no louder than the old box fan.

This fan is light weight but well constructed. Installation could not have been easier. I cut a 16.5 inch square hole with a jig saw, using a blade rated for thin metal. Then I used a permanent marker to mark the location of the eight mounting holes on the wall and drilled them out to take 1/4 inch by 1 inch bolts with lock washers. The fan is quiet and there is no vibration whatsoever. Some reviewers have said they felt that they needed to construct a frame. I did not find that to be necessary. The thermostat works very well. I find the fan speed control to be of little value as any speed less than full will cause the louvers to drop a lot. If you only need the fan on when you are in the building you can save some money by using a switched outlet and forgoing the thermostat.

I was very careful about buying an exhaust fan - Measurements were dead on: I put it in my attic and let me tell you it moves the air - it's exactly what they say. I made sure the installation was solid and caulked. I made a nice wood frame inside the window frame and it just fit in perfect. No bugs got in which our attic had some. I didn't want a cheap fan - I wanted something that is solid. My attic is about 800sqft. When the fan is on made it very comfortable to continue to work. I was working on electric and insulation projects so I put that in first.

I was really worried about choosing the right attic fan for our home because once they are installed, they are difficult to service and / or replace. Some of the views about noise and about the thermostat burning out prematurely concerned me, but I decided to take the plunge and buy this. Installation Installation was easy for my contractor. No issues there. An electrician hooked it up. Noise The fan is running right now in the attic above me and I can hear a very very distant hum if I really concentrate on it. This is a 1972 house with original (thin) insulation so I am surprised I can not hear it more. There is no vibration and outside it looks fine. The louvers also open and close well. Thermostat The thermostat with the remote control is the best part of this fan. I did buy an extended warranty on this piece (bought separately) because I was concerned about premature failure from reading other reviews. The thermostat lets you choose what temperature it goes on and off at, and tells you the current temperature of the attic which I like looking at. The attic did go up to 125 the other day when it was 101 outside, but on most days it keeps it around 110. My house used to make lots of noise as the hot wood contracted in the attic as it cooled... now it's quiet and no longer does that. Air conditioning also working much better. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase and can highly recommend it. If I run into any durability issues I will update this review. Hope this helps!

El extractor llegó sin los accesorios yo lo compre por qué me parecía una buena opción pero así no o me gustó o se le habrán olvidado

Works like a charm and is very powerful!!! We are very satisfied with our purchase 👍🏻

bought this for a 30 by 28 sheep barn to keep the humidity down. It works extremely well. It is fairly quiet and the variable speed is perfect. i had it installed by an electrician while rewiring so cant say it was hard or easy .

Works as described has lasted well decent build quality

It's a good fan, I use it in my garage to help ventilate when I weld, solder, paint, smoke up, etc.... works perfectly. works even better if you open a window to allow it to pull in the air. I once did a charcoal bbq in my 20x 18 garage (don't do this) it works great no smoke or smell in the rest of the house.
