iLIVING 12" Wall Mounted Shutter Exhaust Fan, Automatic Shutter, with Thermostat and Variable Speed controller, 0.6A, 960 CFM, 1400 SQF Coverage Area Silver (ILG8SF12V-ST)

I installed this exhaust fan to improve ventilation, and it has worked very well. It moves a lot of air and does a great job removing heat, humidity, and stale air from the space. The shutters open and close smoothly when the fan turns on and off. The fan feels well-built, and once installed, it has operated reliably. It has made a noticeable difference in keeping the area cooler and better ventilated. One helpful tip is to seal around the fan with exterior-grade caulk or weatherproof foam after installation. This helps prevent air leaks, keeps insects out, and gives the installation a cleaner finished look. The only minor downside is that it’s not completely silent. You can definitely hear it running, but that’s expected for a fan moving this much air. Overall, it’s a powerful, dependable exhaust fan that performs exactly as advertised. I’d recommend it to anyone needing better ventilation for a garage, workshop, greenhouse, or shed.

This is the best fan. Larger motor, medium noise, speed adjustable. Runs in a preset temp mode or you can just turn it on manually anytime you wish. I use this fan in my commercial kitchen where we make a handcrafted seasoning called 1788.

Just got it and mounted it as a thermostatically controlled fan for my chicken coop shed. It’s gotten hot and the chickens don’t like the heat. It’s mounted up in the roof rafters and the louvre blow the air down towards the coops floor. Allows me to have a fan that kicks on only when it’s warm to keep the flock cooler. Hopefully it lasts a few years, seems well built and heavy duty. Well worth the $72

This thing sound like a string trimmer at idle.

Has made a difference in my shop, removed hot air and helped with venting when I use paints or other harsh chems. Love the temp option

I installed this fan in my 800sq foot shop and it has significantly improved the working conditions. Aside from venting dust, it has improved the temperature in my shop by about 20 degrees on the hottest days. My shop no shade, is a dark color and has high ceilings. I installed this on the back wall gable about two feet below the peak of the roof. Normally, at 5’ off the ground and at the front of my shop, I would run about 25 degree F hotter than outside temp- so here in Oregon, when temps hit the 80’s, the shop was just an oven. To date, including a day in the mid 90’s, I’m averaging 3 degrees above ambient outdoor temp, with 8 degrees above being the biggest jump. Installation is easy if you follow the directions (I managed to cut a couple inches too wide but was my fault and easy to fix). Match the model number to the opening size and you’re set. The fan is quieter than expected as well! It does pull a lot of air so either have an intake vent or do what I do- install a car door on the garage door and the fan will just pull air through that! There was no included thermostat so I purchased one at the local big box and added it, setting it very low (70 degree shut off). Otherwise, you could hardwire it on, to its own switch, on a timer, or to another switched circuit. The BIGGEST concern about this fan is there is no thermal fuse. So if there is a fire, this fan will run until it loses power or melts, which will dramatically accelerate the growth of the fire- as a firefighter, I’ve seen small fires consume entire houses because fans didn’t shut off. I would not use this in a residential structure without I installing a thermal fuse. This can be fixed by buying a thermostat with a fuse in it! Overall, a great value and I’m purchasing a second one for my house (and a thermally fused thermostat as well?

I installed this in the eave of a chicken coop. At full speed it is quiet and pulls draft through all openings. The temperature and speed control are integrated in a separate plugin device. Everything works perfectly.

Use it for my shed for when the generator is on. Works great

Excelente compra definitivamente volveria a comprar , pues cumple con su función esta ya es mi tercera compra

It's an easy install and works right out of the box. Just plug and play. It moves a good bit of air and is actually quite quiet. I can't hear it in the basement with the garage door closed and it doesn't vibrate at all unlike my fan hood in the kitchen. Haven't used the temp switch as I plugged it into a remote switch before going into the outlet and will just turn it on when I'm sawing or painting to remove dust and fumes. Great addition to the clean air aspect of the work space. Longevity remains to be seen but will update. So far a ten for the price and convenience. Recommended.

I installed this fan in my garage to vent the heat out in the evenings. Oh boy, did it make a difference! My wife and I were shocked at how well this unit performs - it's strong enough to create a vacuum against the door to the house so that when we enter the garage it pulls the door shut behind us. It's reduce the temperature in the garage by 8-10 degrees Celsius in the evenings (on a hot day would get to 28C and now we can get it under 20C by midnight. The house subsequently is cooler, specifically the bedroom above the garage. It was a big difficult to find a vent cover that I could use on the outside of the house, as I didn't want to leave it open. I found a 14x14 metal cover at Rona for about $35 which has done the trick. The wiring was pretty straightforward (green under green screw, black to black, white to white) but the instructions are terrible. Take a few pictures of your wiring and have an electrician friend confirm your wiring if you're not certain about it. We also purchased the wireless controller system. It works really well and is pretty easy to figure out (again, the instructions suck but it's pretty straightforward). Would highly recommend this add-on. One other thing - the baffles on the back side of the unit are awesome. The overall unit is much more commercial grade/industrial than I was expecting - I was expecting something a little stronger than a 150 CFM bathroom fan but this thing can crush a lot of airflow and is not even in the same league as a bathroom fan. We didn't realize how much of a difference this fan has made, and have recommended it to many family and friends. If you have a garage or crawl space it's worth the investment, you'd be surprised!

Easy to install. Fits inside 16 inch studs in the wall. Simple to connect to power. The instruction diagram makes it very straight forward. Works great. Moves a lot of air and is not too noisy. The main noise is the rush of air coming through the fan. Very satisfied with this product.
