About Quietcool AFG SMT ES-3.0 Smart Attic Fan
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
95% liked the adjustable speed feature, although 5% found it limited
I appreciated the bluetooth connectivity for controlling fan speeds and adjusting settings via mobile devices.
I highly recommend the electric fan motor, especially if you have an old one that is outdated and you have no idea how to adjust the settings manually. My old electric fan motor would go off and on almost randomly.
I can control the fan by turning it on/off, adjusting the speed, and setting schedules based on temperature and humidity levels.
I will be able to adjust my presets based on the information I get from the fan's performance, which shows that the fan's adjustability and control features are useful to me.

82% liked the energy-efficient design, but 18% saw high energy bills
I have found that the AFG SMT PRO-3.0 delivers powerful airflow that quickly cools down the attic on even the hottest days. The improved ventilation has already reflected in my energy bills, and I am confident that I will see even more savings over time.

I am sure that the fan will make a significant difference in your home, just like it did in mine.
After installing the fan, my electric bill increased significantly. I can say from my experience that the fan is not energy efficient. This is a negative feedback from a customer.
87% appreciated the easy installation process, but 13% struggled with it
The installation guide provides information on how to mount the fan for optimal air flow.
Installing this fan was easy and it's the quietest and easiest attic fan I've owned.
Mounting the fan was easy, but my age and the location made it difficult. I don't blame the fan or its mounting for this.
I found the installation process straightforward and followed the included instruction guide, which explains how to rewire to existing electric wires if the included wall plug is not used.

70% liked the low maintenance requirements, but 30% found it difficult to repair
I found that the first fan had a broken rivet in the bracket and the second fan had a completely broken bracket, indicating a concern for maintenance and repair of electric-fan-motors.
I had to replace the electric-fan-motor within a year of installation. After speaking with the tech person, it was determined that the motor was the issue. The company only sent the motor and I had to pay an electrician for installation. The company did not cover any labor costs, which is unacceptable for such a short period of time.
I discovered that the humidity sensor was degrading over time and not activating the fan until the humidity in the attic was outlandish, resulting in new mold growth.
I received and returned two fans because of broken mounting brackets. The brackets are thin, bendy, and attached by three rivets. The first fan had a bracket with a broken rivet, and the second fan had a bracket completely broken off.
92% appreciated the quiet operation, though 8% found it too loud
The fan has good noise level, quality and function.
I can hear the fan motor installed in the attic from my bedroom on the 1st floor. It has a very loud hum through the wall.
On medium and low, there is no sound, but on high, there is a low thumping sound coming from the side of the roof/ceiling.
The noise level of the electric-fan-motors is extremely high and can be heard inside and outside the house, even by my neighbor who lives 30 feet away.

I am impressed with this fan's 2940 CFM, ensuring maximum ventilation.
The high speed of the fan is somewhat annoying and loud.
78% found it to be reliable and long-lasting, while 22% experienced frequent breakdowns
The electric fan motor consistently drops the temperature in my attic by at least 10-15 degrees.
The electric fan-motor consistently drops the temperature in my attic by at least 10-15 degrees.
I am concerned about the long-term reliability of the device, particularly the electrolytic capacitors used in the power supply, which are prone to failure in high heat and high stress environments.
68% appreciated the built-in safety features, though 32% thought they were inadequate
I appreciate the smart app control with temperature and humidity monitoring as a safety feature of our electric-fan-motors.
The electric fan motor helps keep the house cooler, saving energy and keeping the equipment cooler, which is a safety feature.
It is difficult and potentially dangerous to hold and mount the electric fan motor by yourself, which raises concerns about its safety features.
