iLiving New Upgraded 10" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation, 65 Watts, 820 CFM, 1200 SQF Coverage Area

I installed the iLiving 10” Wall Mounted Shutter Exhaust Fan as the exhaust system for a solar battery and inverter enclosure, and it has performed exactly as I hoped. Paired with passive air intake vents on the opposite wall, it creates excellent cross-ventilation that efficiently removes the heat generated by the batteries and inverter. Installation was straightforward. The fan was easy to mount, the wiring was simple, and the included automatic shutters open and close smoothly. The shutters seal well when the fan isn’t running, which helps keep out dust, insects, and the weather. The fan itself is surprisingly powerful for its size. It moves a significant amount of air and has had no trouble keeping the enclosure well ventilated. Even on warmer days, the airflow has been more than adequate for my application. One of my favorite features is the included thermostat and variable speed controller. Being able to automatically regulate the fan based on temperature means I don’t have to manually switch it on and off, and the variable speed adjustment lets me balance cooling performance with noise when full airflow isn’t necessary. Overall, this is a well-built, effective exhaust fan that was an excellent solution for ventilating my solar battery and inverter shed. If you’re building an off-grid power system or need reliable ventilation for a workshop, utility room, or equipment enclosure, I would definitely recommend this fan.

I could not reach my gable area of the home as it was too tight. My home has four (4) existing static air vents that are about 14 inches in diameter in the roof of the home so that air can naturally flow up from the vents in the eves and out the roof by simple physics of heat rising. But that really is not that optimal and never has been for any home. I have searched for any forced air electrical unit that could be installed below one of those static vents and force a lot more air out of the attic through the roof. There is nothing on the market. I am an engineer, so I just took the time to research enough gable vents to find the right one and this is it. What is important to know is that most gable vents have a high CFM (Cubic Ft Per Minute) of airflow of around 1600-2500. Forcing that much air into a static roof vent will cause a venturi effect due to the inability of the roof vent to accommodate that much air flow. This actually causes more noise. This is why I chose this unit. Much smaller, 820 CFM, easy to install and comes with a rheostat to control the speed of the fan in case the existing static roof vent cannot accept that much air flow. I found that the unit works just fine on full speed of 820 CFM and there is absolutely no noise at all. The unit is ultra quiet. If anyone plans to do the same thing I have done, just get the unit without the rheostat and only the thermostat and save the money. It will work without any noise if you have a decent size existing roof static vent. IMPORTANT INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS: In order for this to work, you will need to install two 2 X 4's between the roof joists 10.5" inches apart and centered over the hole that was cut for the existing roof static vent (photos included). Then two more 2 X 4's between the two I just mentioned, and once again, 10.5 inches apart and centered over the existing hole for the static roof vent. This creates a 10.5" inch square box. The 2 X 4's need to be mounted upright (not flat) so there is a 3.5" inch deep square to insert this new attic fan. YOU MUST REMOVE THE AUTOMATIC SHUTTER that comes with the fan. Very simple and only has 3 screws that hold it in place on each side of the fan. Now you have just a fan and a square metal box that holds the fan. Screw that metal box into the 10.5" inch wooden square you framed as mentioned above. Then plug the unit in using the 6ft long cord and you are done. If you do not have a plug nearby, you can use an extension cord. But the extension cord should be a 3 prong grounded plug since the cord that comes on the fan is a 3 prong plug. I have enclosed photos. Very easy to do and took me less than an hour start to finish, and I also ran wiring and installed an outlet to plug into. One of the photos is of the rheostat that comes with this unit. It has a 3 prongs on the rear to plug directly into an outlet and the cord from the fan plugs into the bottom of this rheostat. The manufacturer of this unit give you no information to know that or the length of the cord, among other things. This is why my review is so long. Now you should know everything so you can do this yourself. My plan is to add another one at the other end of the house since the home is quite large. Already making a difference in the amount of heat in my attic.

I installed this fan in my brick garage, and now the garage temperature is much cooler during this hot summer. The fan offers adjustable speed control and thermostat settings, which work very well. As an air exhaust fan, it is quiet enough for garage use. The only thing I didn’t like is the blue protective film on the shutter. It was very difficult to remove, and I actually got hurt while trying to peel it off. Other than that, I recommend this product to anyone looking for a 10” exhaust fan.

Third one I’ve purchased for storage shed. Works really well to ventilate. First one I purchased in 2019 and lasted almost 5 years of heavy South FL use. Second one only lasted 2 and a half years, hopefully this new one lasts longer.

I installed this in my attic where an opening with a dome already existed, but never had a fan there. Weird, but that's the way it was when I bought my house. I would loved to have used a bigger size, but I could only max out at the 10" version because of the existing dome size. This is actually installed at angle equal with roof pitch. I took the shutter off (easy to do) and mounted it to a 2x4 frame that I constructed between the rafters. It has been working just fine this whole summer and with the thermostat I have up in the attic it shows me that it has helped, but with only being a 10" fan, it's only going to do so much, but every little bit helps on keeping the roof from "cooking"...

I installed this in my chicken coop. My coop size is a 8x16 shed for reference. We insisted it where there was an existing vent on the side by the roof. It want to difficult to install but I hand my handyman install it for me and I helped. Once installed, it just plugs into a standard outlet. It comes with a control that plugs into an outlet also. Turn control has a thermostat and fan sorted dial. I have it set for 74 degrees and medium fan speed. So when the temp rises above 74, the fan will kick on and turn off when the temp falls below 74. Before I got this fan, the cool smell was horrible and the flies were bad. After I got it plugged in, it drew a lot of the smell out quickly and the flutes weren’t as bad. This is my first time using an exhaust fan in my coop and I can’t believe I waited this long. It is a game changer. The cord length is a decent length but I still had to get an extension cord to reach my outlet. It has really good power in the motor but isn’t too loud. It looks good on the outside and it is priced well for all the features it has.

Excellent fan. Low noise, Works well. As for longevity, as with most things these days, remains to be seen. Installed it in the gable end of my small garage along with four crawl space vents at the bottom of the walls. Very good airflow with the fan up high and the low vents for air entry.

Works very well. I dont have to attend to it at all.

Very easy install using the included template, I use this on a generator shed that houses an 8000 watt generator for when we have power outages. It kept the generator and shed interior quite cool during a 4 hour power outage and that included the custom exhaust breaking on the generator so it was able to not only keep the generator cool but keep a good supply of fresh air flowing into the generator. I cannot comment on how quiet it is as it only runs when the generator is running so it is not heard. Overall I am very pleased with the unit

Good quality, electroplated steel, can't comment on noise level yet as am still installing in shed. Only thing missing is a bug screen but it was easy to take the shutter off and add this myself with a piece of fiberglass mesh.

Works very well. Included thermostat and speed control is very handy.
