Great fan for room-to-room air circulation
Athought this fan is an 8" fan it is larger than I thought it would be. The fan blades are 8" but the baffle is 10". The hole has to be just over 10" for it to fit. For some, making a 10" hole in your wall may put you off.
This fan is wonderful. It has a high and low volumn. The low moves plenty of air and it is very quite on low OR high.
It has aa attached power cord, however we were able to hard wire it to a power line within the wall so we don't have a cord hanging. With little electrical knowlege this is easy. Other than cutting the hole in the right place so as not to hit a stud, it was very easy to install.
We use it to move the hot air from a room with a wood stove to a large kitchen area. It makes a drastic difference in temperature after running for a short time. We used a coner door frame fan prior to installing this. The old fan made almost no difference in temp and it was very loud. Again, even on high this fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air.
Does what it says
I bought this to move warm air from our LR to the rest of the when the woodstove is going. It gets too hot in the room and this does help. It's not the perfect solution, but it was cheaper than putting another doorway in just yet. It does require cutting a hole in the wall (obviously) so if you're not handy, keep that in mind. It's much quieter than the doorway fan we have. I'd recommend it.
Does the job
We purchased this fan about 5 months ago and its working fine. I needed to get extra ventilation into a utility room. This fan moves alot of air even on the low speed. Installation was easy enough, I completed the job in about 30 minutes. The fan is a little noisy though. This is not an issue in a utility room (about the sone noise of a mid priced bathroom exhaust fan) but if it was in a room that you want quite it may be a little bothersom. Keep in mind if you are venting into a closed room you may want to put a another vent (passive) in the room so that the air can circulate back out of the room. This fan is also larger in diameter that what it appears on line so I would recomend that you take the time to mark how much space this will use on your wall before ordering.
