Simple to input the attic vents in then much better than before as A/C ducts were replaced as now the electric bill is less than worst before in nine years.

Over rated CFM
I install this fan in a 12 by 12 shed hoping it would help move the hot air near the roof. The spec say 360 CFM. I looked up the fan part number on google and it is rated at 100 CFM. Must be some magical CFM multiplier!

    Motor is less than 365 cfm. More like 150 cfm. It’s installed. I should have just waited on back order attic louvers.

    Well constructed but gutless. I’m sure I’m asking too much of this very small fan. Worth a try for the price point but will have to spend more.

    Installed this on a 7x11 shed, works great! Interior shed temperature is now similar to outside temperature vs 30-40+ degree difference.

    Easy to install, started up right out of the box, but 365 CFM really isn't very much. Let's see how many years they run...

    My 1000 sqft attic would get up to 150+ degrees in the summer. I miscalculated and only bought 2 of these (the specs say I should have gotten 5 for 1000 sqft), but 2 of them keep the attic at around 140 degrees. If I could go back, I would have spent 200 dollars on more insulation instead of these fans...

    This was not as advertised. The fan is the same size as a computer CPU fan. It is not going to cool off an attic or even a small office. Luckily, I was able to get a refund. I plan to buy a more powerful one after doing better research.

    I put two of these on my 40ft Conex. I flipped the fan on one of them so that one pushes and one pulls. They make a big difference!

      Fan runs well on sunny days, but air movement cfm could stand to be a bit larger. Fair value for the money
