SAILFLO 10 Inch Window Shutter Exhaust Fan,11.6 x 11.6 Inch Cutout, 406CFM 35W Wall-Mounted Ventilation Air Intake Extractor for Bathroom Home

Attic bedroom REALLY needed an exhaust fan! While we've used a window model to pull heat out during the day, the bring cool air in at night, only one window was installed high enough to pull the heat accumulated at the ceiling. We didn't build the house but I sure would have done it differently if we had. I read the reviews and the mfr instructions that this fan is ONLY for *wall installation*! but we already had a hole in the ceiling where the stovepipe (from the wood stove downstairs - that we removed) went, so I thought "what's the worst that can happen if we put it in the ceiling?" It's an absolutely perfect fit! We removed the "metal frame" for the stovepipe, cut the hole about a half inch larger on one side for the 10" fan, screwed the fan mounting into the wood framing like it was made for this fan. The ceiling placement is near the light switch w/ an electrical outlet BUT the fan's electrical cord would be perfect IF IT WAS 12 INCHES LONGER! As it is, I had to mount an extension cord to the wall. We only use the "exhaust" function to suck the heat accumulated at the ceiling outside - I can only imagine the "creepy crawly" things the fan would bring in... The shutters work perfectly (after clearing away insulation that could obstruct opening and closing). We've had it running practically 24/7 since installing it and it's kept the bedroom 10° to 15° cooler! Personally, I like the "white noise" of the fan, so I can't complain about it. On the other hand - since the fan is close to the TV, and husband watches TV upstairs, he has to turn up the volume 🤷‍♀️ meh, it's fine. So, turns out you can indeed mount it in the ceiling without terrible repercussions! Great fan for the price, easy to install, and works well. I gave it 5 stars but would dock it half a star for the short electrical cord - c'mon guys, would another foot kill you?

Ladies, I did it myself. It fits in my bathroom window with just enough room for the rear louvers to open, with my window screen behind it. I purchased air conditioner louvers on amazon and used scissors to cut them to size; includes tape for attaching to fan. This fan is everything I hoped it would be. I bought a long electrical cord to get it across the Bathroom, but I was able to conceal Most of it it very nicely with decor and crossed above the sink lights. This fan does not have an on off switch, it has a pull string. In the advertisement photos, the manufacturer note indicates that any damages to the fan will be caused by Amazon’s poor delivery. If this fan arrives damaged it will most likely be caused by the manufacturer before shipping, since the fan was well packed. Please note my fan arrived in perfect condition. This is a very loud, high powered fan. It pulls air out of the house very well as expected. However it does not blow much air in at all. I think there might be a flaw in the fin design for incoming air. It has a reverse by pulling the string. There are no additional fan speed controls. I like the louvers to keep hot summer air out during the day, open at night for some fresh air. Sadly, I need better fresh air flow coming into the bathroom.

Initially i was a bit hesitant on purchasing this specific unit. But works better than i had anticipated. Works perfect for old bathrooms that do not have exhaust vents like in my case. It also pulls cool air from outside very good. Cons: 1. Unplugging unit will not close the rear shutters. So shutters stay open. 2. Unit should’ve included a Screen Mesh on the grill for those that would prefer to leave shutters open at all times and not have to touch the string. In my case I installed a screen mesh behind grill for the mosquitoes 🦟 3. The string pull can be annoying sometimes when cycling through shutter, on, off, vent etc. But overall great product gets the job done. Strong fan for its size and quality.

Excellent fan! I bought this fan to install in front of an A/C vent that has very little air coming out of it. It is a reversible fan and I have no use for that feature, thought it works very good is this mode too. It is a simple action of one pull on the cord for out exhaust and two pulls to get the pulling in of the air. This fan is working so good that I bought a second on for on other vent in my work shop that also had very low air volume. For the first time, both vents are now making the shop area very comfortable. They are easy to install and are reasonably quiet. I am very happy with this fan!

I was so desperate to get a fan to alleviate the mold situation in our bathroom. We live in a pre-war, old building with ZERO ventilation. After a while of shopping for window fans on Amazon, i settled for this one, since my window is too small for the larger and higher quality ones. For about 3 weeks, this thing worked amazing with no issues-it was relatively quiet, sucked all the steam out of the bathroom, and kept the condensation from building excessively. That is, of course, until I had to turn it off. I want to specify, I did not YANK the cord to turn it off, I simply pulled on the cord to turn it off. It switched off, and just never switched back on again. Save your $40 and buy a different fan. Or only buy this thing if you literally never plan on having to turn it on or off. Whoever decided to design this thing with a cheap pull cord is just not a smart individual. Not to mention the quality of the fan itself is terrible as well-you can feel it as soon as you take it out of the box.

After about a dozen or so of this item since 2019, with each replacement worse than the former, I'm compelled to warn shoppers considering this brand/model to avoid altogether and instead, invest in another made out of metal. The shoddy plastic construction along with the shorter than usual lifespan makes this a waste of money. The fan fails miserably in withstanding wind gusts, with each occasion weakening it's operation 'til it simply stops spinning. Don't usually write reviews, but this stands out as a vexing exception. Steer clear of this mediocre fan and stick with metal.

Fan works great, does a good job moving air from one room to next.

Muy contento. Fácil de instalar en pladur. Cómo extractor va muy muy bien. Lo que me parece raro es que cuando gira en el sentido contrario rinde como un 70% menos. Girando como extractor tiene mucho flujo de aire, cuando lo inviertes parece que estuviese casi apagado. Raro raro.

Easy to install if your site is prepped etc. Does the job fine, what more is there to say? Quality of finish is good and the unit feels sturdy enough.

Ottimo in estrazione, mentre in aspirazione inutile. Bello alla vista. Ma il materiale di qui è fatto ( plastica morbida ) lascia a desiderare, specialmente il corpo dove va fissato. Comunque il tutto è proporzionato al prezzo.

Perfecto para lo que se necesito

La descipción me dio a entender que la persiana que tiene para bloquear el aire cuando está apagado podría ser automática: No lo es. Es necesario darle a la cuerdecia para abrirla/cerrarla. Puede parecer una tontería, pero impide que se pueda programar el ventilador y que la persiana se cierre automáticamente cuando el programador lo apaga. Por otra parte, hace mucho ruido. Las aspas no parecen ni bien pulidas ni equilibradas, así que no sorprende. En modo inverso, es decir, metiendo aire desde la persiana hacia la rejilla, hace aún más ruido, siendo totalmente impracticable tenerlo en ese modo. Tengo la sensación de que atornillar un ventilador convencional a la pared hubiera resultado en mejor relación coste-beneficio.
