iLivingILG8SF10V - 10" Wall Mounted Exhaust Fan - Automatic Shutter - Variable Speed - Vent Fan For Home Attic, Shed, or Garage Ventilation, 820 CFM, 1200 SQF Coverage Area (Power Cord Not Included)

Ran it from Monday morning to Thursday afternoon and 6 hours on Fridays. Kept running like that for 3 years without issue. Starting to have trouble starting up now. I'd say that's good enough to buy the same one again.

The Horsepower is good, quality of the housing and switches are good, weight of the metal tells you it is sturdy. Fit is great and conforms to the measurements described in the listing. Nice deal and dependable product that moves the air through my garage.

Purchased 2 10” variable speed fans for moisture issues I’ve been having in my garage due to having a lower lot line than the surrounding houses and excessive amounts of rain. Although having done my best to abate water issues entering the garage from the exterior of my garage, ambient moisture and heavy rains still left me in need of a solution to attempt to circulate the air with my garage door closed. Hopefully the 2 fans will do what’s needed to prevent anything from rusting further.I removed the louvers since the fans were going to be mounted directly to the plywood via a wooden frame I made. They were also being mounted on an angle, parallel to the roof and exhausting through the roof vents installed by the previous homeowner. It definitely wasn’t the easiet route to take but I was limited by time and options for cutting a new hole in my siding. Once the fans were hung, wiring was a breeze aside from the grounding screw being impossible to break loose with a socket or a flathead screw driver so I used one of the screws for the access cover to ground. Both fans were then wired to a Vari-Speed speed controller that also acts as the on off switch. I’m in my garage enough that I didn’t see a need for a humidistat.So far so good. A little bit of rain and humid 50-60 degree days, dipping into the 40’s overnight. I will update with pictures once more run time is in but decent fans for a decent price.

Has UlL listing stickers, the ‘fan only’ unit I got had no cord, It seems pretty well crafted, but boy is that wiring compartment is darn small., getting the ground screw loosened in the bottom was a pain. I dunno what size screw it was neither any metric nor inch size nut driver I had would fit. But when fired up it, ran great , pretty powerful for a. 10inch fan. Yeah, I’d buy it again. My application needed to be installed in a horizontal position and the louvers popped right open. So it will work.Update April ‘22- got a second one to air out garage. Interestingly, the size of the wiring compartment has been enlarged., ground screw install was effortless. . Is someone reading my reviews & responding accordingly.? I appears so. Also the lovers have a blue plastic coating, apparently to seal better when closed. So I’m upping to 5 stars. As I said it’s powerful, quiet no vibration, well built. I like to buy USA made products which it is not, but the quality of this build could go up against anyone. It is nice to see a company take pride in the products and make something sturdy, as well as improve quality. Nice going iLiving!

So far so good. Bought this to air out my cellar. Built a frame to mount it, removed an existing cellar window and put this in it's place and so far it is working like a champ. I bought Cable Matters (2-Pack) Heavy Duty AC Power Extension Cord in 15 Feet (NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R) and cut the receptor end off to wire it to the fan. I also got Century 24 Hour Plug-in Mechanical Timer Grounded so I could program the fan to run for a bit then shut down for a bit. Everything is working great and it has helped the smell in the cellar tremendously. My cellar and crawlspace is approx. 500-600 square feet I'd guess, unfinished.The only thing about the fan is the louver blades will not completely close when it shuts off. I've loosened the screws just a smidge and I also put some lubricant on all the moving parts but it still won't completely close. Not a big deal as of now because I have it programmed to run 45 off 15 24/7. And the natural vacuum you get when opening an exterior door pulls it closed if the fan is off at that particular time.The construction of the fan seems to be solid as well, it's all galvanized so it should hold up to any weather it'll encounter.

I really like that I was able to buy this fan and reuse existing cord and thermostat. Old fan lasted 5 years in a hot, dusty FL chicken coop so I’m happy with that. It really helps drop the temp a few degrees in the coop.

I use this exhaust fan to ventilate a small barn in the back yard where I keep all my yard equipment. The barn is 12 x 16 with 8 foot walls and a gable roof. In the past, I have had a problem with white mold forming on some of the wood stored in the barn, but no more. I have the fan on a timer and it runs about 6 hours a day. We get a lot of rain and even though the barn floor is elevated above the ground about a foot, mold would form during periods of wet weather. The fan seems to take care of the issue. The fan is mounted just above floor level to pull cool damp air out of the barn and let warmer dry air come in through the roof vents.The fan is well built, quiet, of surprisingly good quality with a shutter system that actually works.

I really liked this fan and it worked great right up until it didn't. The other day I heard a squealing noise coming from the shed. When I went to see what it was I found the fan was making a terrible noise like the bearings were running dry. I went to get some spray lubricant from the shop, but when I got back the fan was locked up and would no longer spin. It went from no issues to not working in a matter of minutes.
