Update: I FIXED IT!!! One thing I don't like about American fan companies is that you can't easily (if at all) take a modern appliance apart, clean it, and fix it, like you could in the "old" days. This little fan can be taken apart and cleaned - with a little logical thinking. I also opened the electrical switch section to check the wire connections: All good: no sign of a short or corrosion. But when I opened the on/off switch section - I found just a little bit of grime - and that little bit got in the way of the connections, stopping the fan from turning on. With a little rubbing alcohol and a small cotton swab, cleaned it up, put it all back together, and now the fan runs like new again. Yippee! How's that for a girl who has never done this before? So, if I can do it ...

Dear Manufacturer: How about a Youtube video to show people how to do this? :) (And maybe a six foot cord on future models.)

Original: When I first received this fan a little over 1 year ago, it was finicky for unknown reason. Somehow, got it working and it's been working fine for some time. Then it stopped. It's not being finicky this time, it just stopped. The switch works and I can cycle through the three settings: exhaust, intake, off-and-close-shutters. But it the fan won't come on, at all. I thought maybe it couldn't handle the cold, so brought it inside to test it at room temperature, but it still won't start. Would appreciate it if company would contact me for troubleshooting steps. Thank you.

Received my order very fast and was very happy with the product

An old house has charm, attributes not easily found in new homes but may lack space for some modern upgrades - at least not easily accomplished upgrades. No room in the kitchen for a vent fan without making a hole in the wall? I just found one that fits a small window and is easily installed; Enter the SAILFLO Exhaust Fan (6 Inch Window Exhaust Fan) to solve the problem. Perfect. I added 2" hard styrofoam as a baffle and use a plastic bonnet to cover the fan to keep out the outside air when un wanted.

Fan is good quality and strength. For my application I like the pull better than a switch or alternative. How I used it: my garage has an attic above it, I put the original attic access panel up in the attic for safekeeping. Bought a sheet of plywood, cut a hole to fit, drilled a hole for the pull. Nothing amazing but I don't think any other fan for the same price or size would do any better. It doesn't pull smoke out immediately, works over time though. Does a decent job of pulling the hot air out of the garage, should help get a little air moving in the attic as well. Recommend.

I really like the unit. It was easy to install and worked fantastic for a little over a year and a 1/2. Unfortunately, it stopped working. Will have to replace with another brand. Used from 12pm until 7pm. Maybe not meant for daily use.
