SAILFLO 8 Inch Window Shutter Exhaust Fan, 9.5 x 9.5 Inch Cutout, 300CFM 30W Wall-Mounted Ventilation Fan Air Intake Extractor for Bathroom Home Bedroom Attic, φ8 Inch Impeller

I've had one of these fans running non-stop for over a year at this point. I have this fan in the window of the bathroom where I keep my cat's litter box. It's the perfect size for the small privacy window in that bathroom. The airflow keeps the cat box smells from freezing the rest of the house. It's very quiet and doesn't bother me despite being in the room next to my bedroom. I even dropped it into the porcelain tub by mistake, and it still continued to run for over a year.

Fits in my tiny kitchen window. Helps a a lot with ventilation. I’m going to install one in my bathroom to alleviate my husband’s ungodly stench.

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.

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.

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.

worked well in my shed.bought 2 to use for airflow in and airflow out

This fan is only good if you want to use as an exhaust fan. Although the fan is reversible, there isn't much point to use it as an intake fan as it is loud and moves very little air. It is much quieter in exhaust mode and it moves an appropriate amount of air for its size. The other issue I had is that the fan is too short to mount through a normal wall. I wanted to mount through a 2x4 wall with sheetrock on each side to use as a transfer fan between rooms. Unfortunately the fan is too short and has no sleeve or other such mechanism to extend the fan completely through the wall. It falls about 2 inches short far as my wall goes. Finally the cord is only about 3 feet long, almost guaranteeing that it will be too short for any application that this fan would be used for.

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.
