This fan is working as intended. It looks like the airflow in the duct is about twice as high as before. A really nice feature is that even with the fan off, the presence of the fan doesn't completely block airflow through the duct provided by the main fan - it doesn't even block it very much. So you can use this fan purely as a booster - turn it on when you need extra power, turn it off and you'll get the same flow. For a built-in fan, it was very cheap. So far it's great, strong enough and quiet, but I haven't had it that long so who knows how long it will last. If it doesn't break, then 5 stars.
