Review on 🌀 MaxxFan 0004500K Smoke Standard Remote Lid Fan by MAXXAIR by Jose Isaacs

Revainrating 2 out of 5

UPDATE Voltage shutdown issues due to a design flaw.

Still no solution for my Maxxair Plus fan. It keeps cutting out due to over voltage on my home batteries reaching up to 13.8 volts. The manufacturer says anything over 13.5 or 45 seconds shuts down and that these fans are designed for homes that use voltage regulators. Just people carry them in their vans everywhere and I don't see any mention of voltage regulators? I can't find anything RELIABLE that limits the voltage from 12-14V to 12V. I can only find devices dropping from 24 to 12 and that doesn't help. Other devices on the Revain are said to overheat or need a switch, defeating the whole purpose of a thermostat that turns the fan on automatically. 5/2020 Update after a few months: Fan no longer responds. Does it stop responding to remote or fan buttons until I reset it by resetting the fuse? There is still no answer from the manufacturer. Update: Fan installed. Nice. This is very good quality. The only downside, aside from the lack of instructions or a template for cutting a hole, is that when you turn it on, the lid automatically pops open until it's fully open. You may not see this as a problem, but I want to install it under my rack mount basket and I was planning on opening it just 2/3 under the basket to use it. But there's no automatic troll on how wide it opens. However, once it's operational, you can manually partially close the lid if you don't want it to open fully. Oh and one more problem. The remote control pictured is not the one I received. Received a cheaper bulky black plastic remote unlike the one in the picture. First review: could you paste the template? You created and designed this and during this process you couldn't print the paper template? Instead, I spent over an hour trying to implement an impromptu pattern.
