Review on πŸŒ€ Cool Attic CX1500: Efficient Gable Mount Power Attic Ventilator with Powerful 2.6-Amp Motor and 14-Inch Blade by Non Dollarz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality product but not perfect.

Sorry guys, no photo. I just installed it today. Good: Fairly affordable. Small enough to be relatively easy to install if you have the right tools and maybe someone else can help you. The thermostat is really good. But you need a screw. And maybe a mounting hole on both sides. The fan is pretty powerful. The engine is decent. Moderate noise. Cons: Mounting plates can be a bit thicker. It's ok, but it would be nice if it was a bit thicker. The edges are sharp, be careful. The fan got too close to the motor and hit the part. But it is easily moved with an Allen key. The fan is attached to the shaft with just one set screw. It should hold, but I had to use screw lock. I'll check back in a month. The connection is fairly easy, but cones for wiring were not included in the kit. Overall a good fan. But to be honest I think you will have TWO of these for a large attic. A 20 inch fan would have been better, but it would be difficult to find openings that large to accommodate it. Moisture is transported away very well. So it's good to have it next to the air conditioner in the attic. Here are some installation tips. Plates. They can be installed on the side or on top. Drills and screwdrivers must be available. The electric screwdriver makes installation much easier. You can use a #10 screw to screw the case to the carrier from the inside. hold and more stable. Seal all cavities. I used fiberglass and cardstock paper. Run the power cord with an open end THEN an extension cord. Some people just wire long extension cords. It would be troublesome to deal with this long cable when installing.

Pros
  • nice thing
