Durablow MFB009 Large BLOT Replacement Fireplace Blower Fan Unit for Monessen Hearth System, Kingsman, Majestic, Martin, Hunter, Large

The Majestic unit in my new house came with a smaller [12"] fireplace fan, so I purchased this to replace it. Despite being an effective heater, my old fan was so loud while it was running that I couldn't hear the TV unless I turned it up a lot. This new fan is just as loud as the old one but has a larger blade area so it seems to pump out more air. have a fan speed control unit and I set it to run slower [and presumably quieter] and in fact it has worked great. As I didn't want a control knob on the wall instead of a simple on/off switch, I got an inline type controller and mounted it under the fireplace where the fan plugs into the wall. The controller has its noise level preset so it won't be distracting.
I like it and you can still hear it but it's just a low background noise. Great price for a powerful fan and if you like to hang out at airports this is for you, if not purchase a controller and adjust Regardless of the way it's bought, it's a great deal. The following changes have been made It is a Suncourt Variable Speed Fan Controller SCP from Amazon that I used.

There is a loud metallic rubbing noise, but the wind noise is very low. This was not the case It was as if there was a metallic rubbing sound at all speeds. As long as the wind noise was fine, and the right surfaces were padded, it seems like this particular model is defective. You might be able to get a better outcome. We gave it two stars (for a good air moving power and low air noise) but declined to give it more due to the rubbing noise. Having returned it as defective, I asked for a refund.

The answer is yes. There is movement of air with this blower. Because of this, it is also very loud. If you talk right next to the fireplace that the unit is installed under, it won't drown your conversation out, but it is impossible to avoid hearing the noise. As a result of getting this unit and installing it, our fireplace has been more efficient at heating the house, both in terms of the heat they pump into the living room as well as the amount of time that it takes. My fireplace was perfectly fitted with this product and it used all of my existing cables. As an alternative to the velcro tape this unit uses, my previous blower had strong magnets as a mounting mechanism, and I preferred those over the velcro tape used here, but the extra airflow is worth both the extra sound and the flexibility in mounting.

Definitely one of the best sets. With the thermostat option, a switch is not needed to turn it on or off. This is an easy to install product.

During the winter, I heat my house with a 1985 wood stove. My original fan became extremely noisy, so I searched for a replacement. The bearings on the original fan failed (lots of vibration at high speeds). Although this fan wasn't the same as the same model, it was near It would be prudent to measure the enclosure space carefully to ensure this fan is going to At the back of the stove, I had to drill new holes in the sheet metal mounting plate. I bought this fan only because it wasn't a complete kit, but I knew that going in. I used the electrical cord and speed control I had with my old fan. To use the lugs on the motor, I needed to pick up a few connectors. If you do not already own a crimping tool, you may need It took me a while to decide which website to order this fan from. A little less than $57 was a pretty good deal. The installation and the program are both now working. There seem to be no problems with the CFM The output may be a little lower compared with our old fan, however, running the old fan full bore used to make our family room quite hot, so a little less is not a big deal. Vibration dampening is provided by velcro pads and foam blocks that are included with this fan. I think this is There is a possibility that you will only utilize some of the velcro pads based on how your fan is mounted in your enclosure. As such, there is no problem at this point. The durability cannot be determined by me as I haven't driven it enough to know how long it will last. This fan will hopefully last for a very long time for me since I only use the wood stove occasionally.

Although the blower is the same size as my old blower, the only difference is that it has 160 CFMs to it instead of 120. Originals have 180 CFM, but most people don't run the blowers at their full power, so this unit works just as well. It is much cheaper as well.

After two weeks, the machine was very loud, but then shut off and stopped all together. We smelled burning electric/plastic fumes after it stopped working immediately. Installing is a pain in the bum. Thank goodness we were at home just in case it decided to continue "working" while the house burned down! These photos show what we found when we uninstalled the system. What a scary, scary sight! It looks like an electric coil got too hot and blew out the bottom.

We decided to replace it with this blower and it was exactly what we were looking for. My lovely Father in Law installed this for me, but he said it was excellent quality, fit perfectly, and was easy to install. I also liked how easy it was I also like how well it was packaged for protection. We have been very happy with the unit and it is heating up the room very quickly. It was also great to find a price that was affordable! It's great to have you with us!.
