HG Power 6 Inch Exhaust Fan, 308CFM Wall Exhaust Fan for Kitchen, Metal Extractor Fan for Attic, Garage, Window Ventilation, HVAC System

This exhaust fan works so well to get some fresh air in our basement that does not have any windows. My husband installed it in just about an hour and the air feels so much more fresh in the basement now.

I buy a lot of industrial equipment for work. This is a really high quality product. If you need an in-wall fan that moves a lot of air, this is a great option! I bought this to move air in between rooms in my house. We have a mini-split in the main room and our bedroom doesn't get any of the heat or air conditioning. This fan works perfectly to get the conditioned air into our bedroom. It's a 130 sqft room and with the fan running at half speed, it equalizes the temperature in the two rooms. I put a fan speed controller switch on it and wired that into the wall of the room. At full speed, it's a bit loud. We run it at half speed normally and it does fine. If we need to cool things off quickly, we can do full speed. The only bad thing about it is the power cord. This is obviously an item that needs to be wired in. It's a weird choice to put a plug on it. I rewired it so it would have a contiguous wire all the way to a junction box. Not a big deal. This is a seriously high quality product. The metal is very thick. The fan blades are metal, not plastic. The fan blades are also balanced from the factory. This is an expensive process that helps the fan run more quietly and greatly extends its life. I didn't expect it to be this nice. If you need an in-wall fan that moves a lot of air, buy this!

I purchased this fan to remove summer heat from my Phoenix garage when the temps can easily exceed 125. It installs easily in an existing 10"x16" passive circulation vent installed high on the wall by removing the existing louvered vent and mounting the motor to a 1"x3" rectangular frame constructed around the vent opening. This can be done easily with hand tools. PROS - Easy to mount - Auto-close vanes work well as long as they are kept clean (suggest cleaning annually or more often) - Relatively quiet for the amount of air handled - Appears to deliver the full-rated CFM of air, enough to exhaust a 2-car garage under typical circumstances CONS - Less than an American quality heavy-duty motor; it remains to be seen if it will hold up - A little overpriced for the degree of ruggedness I'll write more after it has been in service for a while.

I wasn't expecting much when ordering this fan, just a small exhaust fan to keep temperatures down in my attic and elsewhere. I ordered two, and the quality of both is amazing. All metal construction, even the blades. The whole fan feels heavy, constructed well, and worthy of the name "industrial fan" they put on the front of the owner's manual. It's also very well balanced and doesn't rattle or shake, despite the high speed. This is not a quiet fan that you want in your living room or something, it moves a lot of air, which is going to make some noise. Another big plus is the cord which is extra long, with a nice switch. I'm very happy with this purchase.

The 6-inch HG Power Extractor has proven to be very practical and easy to use. It fits well and allows for efficient work without complications. The tool feels solid and durable, giving confidence during use. I like that it is lightweight and comfortable to handle, making it easier to work for longer periods without fatigue. Additionally, it performs its function consistently, helping to extract parts or components safely and effectively.

I installed this fan to mount right above the oven vent in our home. The air-fryer function of the oven inevitably generates smoke that our over-the-stove microwave vent could not handle and would fill the kitchen with smoke. Didn't want the expense of a big oven vent or lose the location of the microwave so thought I would try this. Our kitchen back into the garage so it was easy to just vent smoke out there. Eventually I will connect to the outside. Works great!! Sucks ALL the smoke from the oven out of the kitchen -- in fact air movement is enough to vent anything on top of the stove, too, although that wasn't what I put it in for. Seems well made and fits a 6" hole if you have a saw that can make one. Makes some noise, but not as much as the microwave vent on high. I wonder if I could use it with a speed control... hmmmm...

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Priced right and functions well. Fairly quiet while moving a lot of air. The cord length was more than adequate and the rocker switch make control easy.

The unit works as intended, but it says that runs quiet, but it does rattle at least the unit I received when it turns on, after that it runs with a noticeable extreme sound. This unit will work great for big open spaces where you will not noticed it.

Works great in my work shop for bringing in air over my work area.!!! But it is not Approved. ULC In case of a fire. ASSURANCES $$$ ??? Better. To check it out with your assurance guy

The video can describe a lot. Just want to take that warm air inside our bedroom, so far so good!

Tested the fan for a few hours before busting a whole in my wall and installing it. The noise level is acceptable for a bathroom. The build quality seems adequate. All the dimensions were as advertised. It doesn't push as much air as I was expecting, but it should still be enough for my purpose. The cord is a bit short. Will have to arrange for a longer extension cord.

Does the job.

Great fan, using it to clear out cig smoke from my living room. Only complaint is that it is much louder than expected. On par with a steel workshop fan for noise level.
