Overall Feedback:
74% positive
64% appreciated the adjustable settings
The variable speed control with ten levels, including slower speeds, is a real game-changer.
The humidity control is priceless, indicating high adjustability and controllability.
The humidity control is priceless, indicating that the fan has adjustable and controllable features.
65% liked its powerful airflow
At low settings, this fan is exceptionally quiet compared to a bathroom vent fan. However, it gets a little noisy when turned up higher.
In my grow tent, the fan can exhaust old air and replenish new air.
I can adjust the airflow capacity of this fan more than my older exhaust fan, resulting in less negative pressure in the tent.
The fan has a good airflow capacity, as it exhausts old air out of my grow tent and replenishes new air.
70% praised its long-lasting durability, but 30% experienced premature failure
I haven't had the fan for long, so I can't comment much on its durability. However, I'm not worried about it because of the quality of products sold by Mars Hydro.
I did not mention anything about the fan's durability.
I have noticed that the unit is defective with issues in the temperature/humidity sensor and makes a loud noise like a jet engine.
A few years ago, fans like this were too powerful for smaller tents. Even those with three settings, the lowest one was likely too powerful and would create a hurricane in a smaller tent.
73% found it easy to install
I am using the fan for a 5x5 tent and I am happy with it.
I have been using the fans for 2 years without any problems. They have been running every day since I got them.
The exhaust fan is easy to install and provides satisfaction and ease of use. It eliminates the need to constantly check hygrometers.
64% appreciated its energy efficiency, though 36% weren't satisfied
I experienced an issue with the first controller where the fan would cycle even though it showed the fan at 0.
70% liked the easy-to-clean design, but 30% found it difficult to maintain
When I used the kit in a specific setup, it did not work well. But in a different setup, it worked perfectly and maintained the desired humidity and temperature range.
The controller broke and now it doesn't work on auto function.
The fan exhausts air at a high temperature and never completely shuts off even after regulating temperatures.
72% appreciated the versatile mounting options
There is a suction cup on the temperature probe which will be useful when positioning it just right.
65% liked how quiet it operated, but 35% found it too loud
At low settings, the fan is exceptionally quiet, similar to a bathroom vent fan. However, it gets a little noisy when turned up higher.
The fan was loud from the beginning and after a few months, it heated up the main bearing, making it louder and a potential fire hazard.
The fan is not silent, but it's not too bad either.
The fan produces a high level of noise, sounding like a jet engine.
73% were satisfied with its safety features
I can dial down the fan much more than my older exhaust fan, so the tent doesn't have so much negative pressure.
The controller works and the fan moves air.
I compared the sensor of the fan with others and found that they all agreed on temperature and humidity.
