Customer Reviews for Vortex 6 in. Powerfan Inline Duct Fan

Works great! Easy to install and moves a lot of air.

Well made, relatively quiet for such powerful fans. Air movement is outstanding.

I replaced my dead Nutone in-line fan and bought this fan. It's mounting bracket is poorly designed with very few options on attaching it to a wall or ceiling. What really cut down on the ways to mount it was the cheap plastic electrical box mounted on the circumference. It limited mounting positions. The Nutone fan did not have this problem since the electrical box was metal and welded to the face of the fan. As well the electrical box is made of a really low grade plastic and it broke in two places. I had to replace it with my own metal housing. In short, I'm not impressed with this product and do not recommend it.

Very well built. Moves a lot of air. Noise is no louder than a cheap bathroom fan bathroom fan. Decent brackets and can be mounted verbal or horizontal. Arrived as promised. Very happy with purchase.

This fan was too loud for my application.It was returned.

Fan is well built and has very good air flow. The electrical box could be a little bigger for wiring direct though.

Great fan, quite and powerful and well built.

I used as a booster fan for my son's kitchen exhaust and it works very well. Mounted in the garage and when it runs it is very quiet. The Vortex website said can be used for kitchen exhaust, but a label on the fan said "NOT for kitchen use". I called Vortex technical support and he clarified that it is designed to be used as a booster but not directly over the hot oven surface. Well constructed and must be firmly supported with brackets.

Good reviews, well constructed, much better than the look alikes made from plastic, etc. You get what you pay for. Good warranty too.
