5works as advertised  Sep 06, 2010
Half the price of lowes , lowered temp in shop by 15 degrees, works great and came with thermostat

5Works great, a few things to know  Sep 04, 2010
I would recommend this fan, it works great and is an unbeatable price, but I had a few minor issues. The wires from the motor needed to be connected to the thermostat but the thermostat cover is held in place with a one way screw. Not sure if that's the right name but the slot in the screw head doesn't allow you to back it out with a screwdriver, so just use pliers to grasp and turn it. Once you get it off it's just black (hot), white (neutral) and ground wires.

The other issue I had was clearance between the fan blade tip and the bolt heads for the L shaped connection brackets. The fan shroud wasn't perfectly round (possibly bent in shipping) so when the blades turned they hit one of the bolt heads. The fan blade corners are cut off so as to miss them but no amount of adjusting could fix it. I couldn't understand why they would have the bolts located there in the first place. I also noticed when the L shaped brackets are attached as shown in the picture (short part to fan shroud, long part to the wall) the fan wobbled when on. I think this was because the mounts that hold the motor to the shroud are at the back while the mounts that hold the fan to the wall are in the front. So to solve both problems I turned the L brackets around so the short part was on the wall and the long part was bolted to the back of the shroud, closer to the motor mounts and away from the fan blades. Problems solved. If my description doesn't make sense just look at the way the brackets are attached to the fans in the pictures for the CX 1500 vs. the CX 2500. Mount it like they show for the CX 2500.

A few other suggestions mentioned in previous reviewers I did and recommend; wire in a switch to control power to the fan so you can turn it off if you want - I located mine in the garage. The other was to use a gasket between the fan and the wall to isolate the vibrations. I used foam weather stripping they sell at every hardware store. I don't have before and after comparisons but the fan isn't very noticeable when running.

I think this fan is well worth the money and you shouldn't hesitate to buy this one.

3Great Fan but fan blades hit mounting screws when mounts are attached!!!  Aug 30, 2010
The fan looks great and works great but I was forced to use the old housing from the attic fan which came with my house. The problem is that when we attached the mounts with the screws provided, the fan blades did not turn freely without striking the screws. The fan is working fine with my old fan housing which incidentally is much heavier duty and more sturdy. For the price, I am happy and very fortunate that I had an old fan housing available to me. If this was my initial attic fan, I would be returning this item. Also, of note, nowhere on the box did the word Ventamatic appear which leads me to believe that this was not the item I paid for but a substitute. Nonetheless, I am happy with the fact that I have a working attic fan for under $50. Hopefully this thing will work for a while.

4Gable Fan  Aug 30, 2010
Just what I needed, and at less cost than getting locally. Combined with free shipping you can't beat it. Easy to install. Fast delivery.
