Working Fine after Two Summers Jan 31, 2010 By Joseph W. Miller
These types of fans should be long lasting (it replaced one that was 13 years old and that may still have a few years left in it) and this one seems to be on track to do that.

I highly recommend a thermostatically controlled fan such as this for attics with limited ventilation. The temperature difference between a poorly vented attic and the outside air on a summer afternoon is very high, and much of that heat will radiate into your living space. I installed this myself (I'm no handyman and took about three times as long as a pro or talented amatuer would). Tip - You may need to build a frame to hold the fan (or add a could of cross-beams for support). If you build a frame, consider attaching it to the fan before installing both in the attic.

Works as adverstised May 26, 2010 By Tom
I installed this in my attic to better ventilate on non-windy days when the temperatures can hit 125F or higher. I agree with another poster that you really should set the thermostat using a thermometer. So go buy a wired remote thermometer where you can run the wire up through the attic access hole. I found mine is roughly 5 degrees off from the dial. The other thing I noticed is that since the thermostat is in a metal housing, it takes quite a while after the target temp is past (mine is coming on at around 105F) for the fan to cool the thermostat down to the point where it will kick off. Mine generally is kicking on around noon or 1 pm and kicking off sometime in the early evening. The other day it was 90F outside and the fan kept the attic a stable 107F until around 4 pm (neighbor's tree shades the roof) when temperatures started to fall, kicking off at 7pm and around 95F (and then temps quickly shot back up to 100F). The unit itself is quiet and I can only hear the barest of hums when it is in operation. I expect this will save quite a bit of money, make the AC's job easier, and prolong the life of my roof.

Very good for the money May 12, 2009 By Ray in Queens
This attic fan was designed well and was easy to install. Easy to use temperature control. Others costing twice as much do not do any better.

Short life, great design, easiest install Apr 06, 2011 By likeparty
APPLICATION: Attic gable end fan mounted in south gable of my house in central Florida. It was installed 8/2005 and quit working 9/2008. The house is 21 years old with two gable end attic vents. Total fans so far: south end I am installing my fourth, north end the second one is still running.
SHORT LIFE: This unit only gave me 3 years life. It is in a very difficult location to get to, so the difficulty of replacing (or cost if you require an electrician/tradesman) far out weighs the cost of the fan. I do not consider 3 years adequate life. The other end of the house has a Master Flow PG-2 sheet metal design and has run for more than 10 years (might just be luck in reading those reviews!).
GREAT DESIGN: The rigid plastic frame is superior to the sheet metal type. It is also significantly lower profile (sticks into the attic a shorter distance).
EASIEST INSTALL: The rigid plastic frame allows you to mount it straight to the studs or frame of your vent area. You can pretty much do one corner at a time.
SUMMARY: So if ease of installation is important, you have limited area to mount, or don't care about the life this would be a good choice. For me two stars due to the importance of life for my application.

Same fan? Jun 23, 2006 By Renovator
Product came super fast. It has same appearance, generally, but this is a four bladed fan, whereas the discription was for a six bladed fan.
