About HG Power 8 Inch Kitchen Exhaust Fan
Overall Feedback:
96% positive
94% appreciated the adjustable settings, but 6% found them confusing
The fan was a wonderful addition to my kitchen and saved the day.
I suggest a variable speed control to reduce noise/speed, but I am unsure if it can push them open.
95% liked its powerful airflow, but 5% found it insufficient
The fan moves a good amount of air.
The fan moves a lot of air, specifically 576 CFM.
I estimate the airflow capacity to be around 50-60cfm, which is less than the rated capacity. When I compared it with my 120mm computer fans that are rated for ~90cfm, I found that they moved more air than this fan.
94% praised its long-lasting durability, but 6% experienced premature failure
The fan is durable and long-lasting, made of high quality materials including stainless steel.
The fan is made of thin gauge stainless steel and should be very rust resistant.
I expect the fan to be durable and have a long service life.
I will have to wait to see how long the fan lasts.
94% found it easy to install
The installation was straightforward and easy. I strongly suggest it to anyone who has an old style kitchen with an exhaust fan in the wall. The fan comes in three colors and I have the silver one at my house. It looks great and works great.
I found the fan easy to install with the 4 pre-drilled holes in the corners.
The installation was simple and easy with the plug-in connection and power switch built into the power cord.
I found it easy to set up the unit, replacing the existing green house unit.

Having the fan in the wall creates a huge draft.

86% liked the easy-to-clean design, but 14% found it difficult to maintain
The stainless steel face and blades look great in the kitchen and are easier to clean than plastic.
After a two hour job, there are no toxic fumes.
The stainless steel face and blades are easy to clean and look great in my kitchen.
I had to remove the two flappers behind the fan motor as it had vibration noise which was too loud at the beginning.
87% appreciated the mounting options, but 13% found them limited
I mounted the exhaust fan in the garage window and use it to pull out heat at night and dust when working.
I mounted the fan differently than intended and it worked well. I added a screen to keep out bugs and vermin and mounted it blowing into my sound insulated aluminum box with the generator inside.
I like how the dampers close automatically when the fan is mounted and balanced properly.
I need to use separate mounting hardware for the fan.

91% liked how quiet it operated, but 9% found it too loud
The motor is very quiet with the majority of the sound being wind sound.
The fan makes some noise due to its design to suck out a lot of air, but it's not too loud.
The fan is designed to suck out a lot of air, so it will make noise, but it's not too loud.
I compared the noise level of the fan to my quiet bathroom exhaust and found it to be similar.

83% were satisfied with its safety features
I have found that this fan is strong enough to vent away smoke from my rotisserie, preventing the smoke alarm from going off.
