HG Power 6 Inch Exhaust Fan: Kitchen Exhaust Fans with Power Cord Attic vent Fan with Damper Wall Small Fume Extractor Ventilation Fan for Shop Chicken Coop Basement Smoking Room Garage Silver

Really powerful fan!!

Exelente

1. Is outside trim , ring or a hood available for this 10 inch fan to complete the installation at the wall opening ? Looks rough without it ! It would need min. 5 " depth clearance for the fan's damper if it was a hooded.2. Are any covers available for this 10 inch fan for the inside or the outside to keep the heat or A/C from escaping the house since the fan is mounted in a kitchen wall , when not in use ? The damper is not enough.3.You could improve on the cord's exit through the front of the fan without having to customize it by me. Going out the back is a bad design.4. It's louder than I thought but it does move the air. Not bad for the money if it lasts.5. What is the amp draw on this fan motor ?

Very good. A year now continuous use.

Moves a lot of air without a lot of noise, works well

It works great fits exactly as described worth of price

I bought this fan recently intending to mount it to a plywood board that I would then put into my basement window to help with ventilation when I work on certain projects. So, a temporary use - open the window - put the board in - push the window down onto the board - remove board when finished for the day. I imagine that some people might want to mount it into a hole in the wall for a more permanent installation. It has a sturdy power cord with an in-line on/off switch, but the problem is that the power cord comes out of the fan body well out into the tubular body of the fan! (See pics.) So, if for example you wanted to mount it into a hole in the wall, the power cord would end up either inside the wall or hanging outside the wall. Crazy. For my purpose, where I might stick it into the window for a few hours, I just routed the cord back "inside", in order to plug it in to my indoor wall outlet. So, I was able to work with it so no need to send it back personally, but this design is a bit of a head-scratcher. Something to be aware of. Aside from that, it seems to be a quality fan with a good switch. Not super powerful but good enough for what I needed. ** I am updated this review after being contacted by the maker/seller in response to the review. The end result is that - the fan works for what I needed, so I have no reason to send it back, and they will be looking in to the design. I must add that I am very impressed with their communications and customer service. They were very responsive to my concerns.

Had one already I used in the basement shop. Works fine. Ordered another for the other end of the room, but it was incredibly loud and really annoying and returned it. The replacement works fine now. It is loud enough to be noticeable, but if it sounds like you're standing under an airplane engine then return it.
