Athought this fan is an 8" fan it is larger than I thought it would be. The fan blades are 8" but the baffle is 10". The hole has to be just over 10" for it to fit. For some, making a 10" hole in your wall may put you off.
This fan is wonderful. It has a high and low volumn. The low moves plenty of air and it is very quite on low OR high.
It has aa attached power cord, however we were able to hard wire it to a power line within the wall so we don't have a cord hanging. With little electrical knowlege this is easy. Other than cutting the hole in the right place so as not to hit a stud, it was very easy to install.
We use it to move the hot air from a room with a wood stove to a large kitchen area. It makes a drastic difference in temperature after running for a short time. We used a coner door frame fan prior to installing this. The old fan made almost no difference in temp and it was very loud. Again, even on high this fan is very quiet and moves a lot of air.

I bought this to move warm air from our LR to the rest of the when the woodstove is going. It gets too hot in the room and this does help. It's not the perfect solution, but it was cheaper than putting another doorway in just yet. It does require cutting a hole in the wall (obviously) so if you're not handy, keep that in mind. It's much quieter than the doorway fan we have. I'd recommend it.Best Deals on Room-to-Room Fan - Circulate Cold or Warm Air from Room to Room
We purchased this fan about 5 months ago and its working fine. I needed to get extra ventilation into a utility room. This fan moves alot of air even on the low speed. Installation was easy enough, I completed the job in about 30 minutes. The fan is a little noisy though. This is not an issue in a utility room (about the sone noise of a mid priced bathroom exhaust fan) but if it was in a room that you want quite it may be a little bothersom. Keep in mind if you are venting into a closed room you may want to put a another vent (passive) in the room so that the air can circulate back out of the room. This fan is also larger in diameter that what it appears on line so I would recomend that you take the time to mark how much space this will use on your wall before ordering.Honest reviews on Room-to-Room Fan - Circulate Cold or Warm Air from Room to Room
I bought this on May 8th 2012 for $59.96 including ship.Our situation: We live in a double-wide mobile home with eight foot ceilings everywhere except the great room/living room--its cathedral ceiling is a couple feet taller. From the day we moved in we've hated that room and wondered how much it would cost to convert it to a lower ceiling.
NO NEED, PROBLEM SOLVED WITH THIS FAN!! The worst thing about a situation like ours (mobile home with silly cathedral ceilings) is not just the heat in the great room, but how all the other rooms have to be freezing in the summer just to make it breathable in the great room. (Plus the thermostat is located in the great room)
We tried everything over the years--sitting box fans in the cold parts of the house and trying to suck/blow the cool air over into the hot room--running the ceiling fan in the hot room constantly and not letting the hot air build up--or doing the opposite, not running the ceiling fan and just letting it build up and stay there. We tried various things, nothing with much success.
Last year we installed two additional register vents in the "great hot room" hoping that would not only add cool air to the room via the air conditioner, but maybe because of the additional registers blowing in the hot room, the registers in the cold rooms wouldn't blow quite so hard. It helped, but I still had to close off one of the registers in a bedroom as it continued to freeze the people in that room during air conditioning months. The extra vents helped, but the great room continued to be noticeably warmer than the rest of the house.
And this year I started thinking about a through the wall fan. After reading the reviews here on Amazon, and seeing most people were using the fan to get the heat from rooms with a wood burning stove to disperse to other parts of their house--I thought, I've got a wood burning stove in my ceiling, yessiree. And I want that heat out of there--and the room right next door is always freezing--so let's suck it out of the hot room and into the cold room!
I decided if I could "tell even a little bit of difference" I'd buy a second fan. We cut the hole in the wall, for the fan, a few inches down from the ceiling on the cold room's side, therefore it is about 20 inches or so down the wall on the side with the cathedral ceiling. We've had it for over a couple of weeks now, and I'm still feeling giddy. I walk back and forth between the two sides, grinning like an idiot. You'd think I invented something that was going to make me rich the way I brag about it to everyone! There is absolutely NO REASON to buy a second fan. For the first time in ten years, the house's temperature is balanced throughout!
