Is anyone aware of the DB level this fan produces?

Although I cannot tell you the exact dB level, I can tell you that I have two running in a small greenhouse and I do not find them to be

Would this device adequately circulate air in a greenhouse 8' x 12'?

It does seem that way to me. There's really a lot of movement in that! The two I have are A situation in which things are going in different directions A greenhouse measuring 12 x 24 feet is used for growing vegetables.

Do you think this can be used outdoors? Is it going to ruin if it rains?

The motor on this fan is completely enclosed, so it is not outdoor rated. Ideally, this fan should be mounted so that the blades are under a covered area outside. The fan should not be affected by small amounts of rain or water.

It's made in China and is Prior to working with US components, Schaeffer used European This fan is said to be manufactured in the USA based on its specification sheet
3/5

It is clear from the fan I received that it was made in China. A lie or misleading statement.

The unit is remarkably quiet, it is very efficient, and it is The 8-year old method has been my favorite for 10 years This is a model 12-inch by Schaefer, and it still works Twelve members of the Committee Compared to inch fans, 40-foot fans move four times as much air [cfm = cubic feet per minute], and I needed more air moving It has a footprint of 12 ft
5/5

by 6 ft. Out of the 12-person group, 3 are female There is a lot more air moved per inch. I use the smaller fans when the weather is moderate. These are both exceptionally quiet, and are mounted in the ceiling [roof]. It is also possible to rotate the fans to blow in any direction. Here is a warning My small fans were wired more than a decade ago when I purchase them. Twelve members of the Committee They come with a separate plug so that they can be wired, by a professional, directly to the home • business / greenhouse / storeroom wiring if you wish. The 3 should be attached if it is not possible To install the fan, contact someone who is knowledgeable about the device. Read the instructions on the fan. It is worth wiring these fans properly, as they are exceptional fans. Drilling a pilot hole and securing the chain with a strong hex lag screw are all it takes for installation This is the type of stainless steel I use. It is my expectation that these fans will work in my humid greenhouse environment for at least a decade They can do it, and I am sure.

It is a very heavy duty fan with some minor issues
4/5

It is a very small fan, but it weighs a lot, and the cooling fan is not as effective as it could have been. The zinc coating on dipped galvanizing is thick and hard. Therefore, I am happy with the quality of the product so far I'm far away. It has not yet been wired or tested since I have not yet wired it. The Planet Mojo channel will feature videos of it in action on the greenhouse, so you will be able to see it in action. Although I would have given this a five-star rating without a doubt, the fan is awful. Upon opening the box, it smelt horrible and the fan was extremely dusty - I didn't want to use it. There is a lot of dust in the room. Neither of those things will affect performance. However, I will see how it turns out when I hook up the line and come back next week.

How can a good product have a bad quality control? A fan dispersed and moved lots of air in a relatively quiet manner, but one of the two units failed to assemble during transportation due to its design
3/5

Since the blades fell off and I was not able to put them back on and tighten them, the prop blades began slipping and fell off the shaft. The unit is designed to prevent people from opening it, so I was unable to worried me about the reliability of the blades on the other unit I purchased, so I returned it as well.

Firstly, I am extremely pleased with the quality of this product
5/5

Second, I have purchased a This last machine lasted for 12 years and was still working when it was This was the non-galvanized version subjected to high humidity and some weather in a greenhouse. After a while, the guard started to rust and became unappealing, so I replaced it with a galvanized one. Product quality is similar to what I encountered on my last fan, but I noticed some improvements. In comparison with the old connection box, the new one was more tightly sealed. An earlier version of this article. I recommend using the variable speed controller in order to have the ability to adjust the level of output depending on your installation. The unit actually pushes plenty of air but it can be excessive depending on how it's mounted. If you are looking for an efficient circulation fan, this is a good choice.

Fan that works well
4/5

While it is a nice quiet fan, it is not big enough for me to use in my greenhouse. The problem (my fault) is I need a bigger solution! There is not a lot of air being pushed by this machine.

Fans who are great
5/5

hired an electrician to install the electrical system in the There were cords attached to the fan. As a result, they were attached. It's no wonder the fans are so It's very cold now, so we have not yet used them in the heat of Summer. It took me some time to buy brackets in the form of "L" shapes so they could be held correctly. Additionally, we bought controllers for each fan in order to be able to control the speed. As far as the installation goes, and as far as the fans themselves are concerned, I am very satisfied.

Electrical work must be done by an electrician! Two $2600 worth of fans will be used in the As we knew, the mounting would be a hassle
3/5

If you want the bracket with the fan, it's another $6 per fan on top of the $200 price tag. The wiring was not attached to the fan, which was not specified. A cord with 3 wires connects the two devices The back of the shirt is white, while the ground is green. You will find three wires once the housing is taken apart. The instructions recommend having an electrician wire your fan so that it will be power-on. It looks like a bunch of bull at this point in time. How do you see that development playing out? How much would it be to purchase another 12 fans at about $600 each?.
