iLiving - 20" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation (Power Cord Not Included)

I purchased this Iliving 20" Shutter Fan on a Friday evening after a very hot day in my greenhouse, I could not control the heat rise here in Alaska temperatures exceeded 90 deg F in my 12x24 greenhouse. The fan shouwed up on Sunday morning USPS I could not believe that I ordered it Friday night and it arrived Sunday morning. I installed it Sunday afternoon which was very simple if you have any mechanical skills. I wired it into my greenhouse thermostat that controls my heater and my fans. Holy Crap it knows how to move air! I is very quiet for such a large fan, all componets were built very well, shutters worked flawlessly other than I mounted it too tighed in the rough opening and this caused the bottom seal to rub on the flashing I installed, I lowered the flashing and it worked great!. I would recommend this fan to any greenhouse owner that is having rising heat issues. Hopefully it hold up over time but the price $169 was hard to beat for a 20" shutter fan.

I have three of these fans and all have operated flawlessly for 5, 6, and 8 years. I have one in my 1600 sqft shop, one in a sandblasting booth I have in a 20ft container and one in a finishing booth I use for powder coating. The louvers seal nicely and I have not had any issues with rain getting in. (Oregon) Never had one problem with any of them. I'm bought this one to put in my house attic.

Previously purchased a different brand fan and was very unhappy with the vibration it produced. So I bought this one and only paid around $60 more. It is quieter and does not vibrate. And it seems to have greater air movement. When I go to close the door of my shop with the fan on, the air rushing in makes it so quite a bit of force is required to get the door to latch. With the other 20” fan, you could feel the air, but it really didn’t push on the door much. The only down-side is with the variable speed switch control; when you start turning it down, the fan really hums loudly.

I have this installed on a ceiling in an updraft orientation. It's runs 24/7 for the past 9 months or so with no hiccups.It's loud, really loud. I have an inline fan controller which works well to dial down the speed and noise but the problem comes down to balance. If I turn this fan down less than 80% it will vibrate horribly as if it's going to shake itself apart.So when buying this, expect it to run at full speed only otherwise buy something else.

The media could not be loaded. First of all, we were looking to get this exhaust fan at Home Depot and Lowes and it would have taken a week to ship to our home or a store. We had contractors at our home doing the garage repair and install for only 2 days. Amazon Prime got this here on the first day of the install after I ordered it the day before. Amazon Prime for the WIN!! Our contractors did the install, so I can't really tell you about how easy it was. It is a powerful and farely quiet fan. My husband loves it! When on, you can feel the air moving through the entire room. It's definitely worth the money. Hopefully this will help with the summer heat in the garage.

I built a 3 car garage and I work on snowmobiles and 4 wheelers plus other motor operated engines inside the garage. 2 cycle motors can get very Smokey. Carbon dioxide can kill you this fan works great clearing out all the smoke and fumes from the garage . I had to build a screen framed in for the inside of fan to keep the bugs from coming into the garage .

It started out really well. It’s almost a really great attic fan and I like the iliving radio control thermostat with its ability to set the temperature and have three different speeds according to how far over the set temp the temperature is, but after a while I realized there is a problem with the internal programming. When the temperature in your attic gets one° over the temperature of the thermostat, the thermostat turns on low. Everything is fine until the temperature gets 4° over the set temperature. That’s when the thermostat doesn’t seem to know how to control the fan properly and the fan starts turning on and off very harshly making loud noises and clanking noises and sounds like it’s going to burn itself out. My fan eventually did shut itself off with its overheat control. And it started doing that consistently where I could not turn the fan on until after I let it cool down for an hour.It’s almost there, it just needs a good electronics programmer to go in there and fix the programming of the thermostat. It may need a new thermometer that better suits the system as well.

We are using it to draw out the dander from two cockatoos in a sunroom that is 14 x 16. After the dander killed two window AC units, we decided to give this a try. We use other fans to blow the dander to an area where the fan will pull it out. It doesn’t cool the room so we need the other fans to move the air. A new ceiling fan also helps. Since we live in Florida, we are more worried about heat than cold. The fan has a nice shutter that closes when it is off to prevent bugs from getting into the room. So far we are happy with this purchase.
