Just installed this fan and am very happy with it. Quiet, moves plenty of air and relatively easy to install. One comment is the instructions don't emphasize that both the fan and the diffuser are directional, that is, they each have an opening which must face the other. If this is not noticed, either unit's housing would block the air flow towards the other unitTjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator Hardwired, Model# AS1. Another thing to note is the possibility of a 'block' in the wall cavity. If one unit is mounted high and the other low, one needs to probe the cavity to make sure there is not a 2x4 block midway. The hard part of this installation is accessing and wiring power to the fan, which can involve cutting access holes in the wall and possibly installing a junction box. Not for the casual do it yourself person.

In short, a professional product and far better than the usual cheap, noisy bathroom fan.

The first thing I noticed out of the box was surprisingly high quality (heavy motor) for the price. Yes, you can hear it, but that is to be expected a fan has a motor and moves air, both of which create noise. Don't expect it to BLAST air into the other room; it will be close to a light breeze, yet quite effective.

Like some others, I needed to move air from a very hot wood-stove heated room. Much of the rest of the house becomes cold once the thermostat is satisfied by the stove. It was pretty easy to install, just be careful to cut the holes in your walls to the exact size of the template. Also, it is easy to verify if there is a fire block/stop in your wall, but it will require making some holes: Before installation, drop a small chain or string with a weight tied to the end in a small test hole at the location where you intend to install the upper part of the system and check to see if it drops as far as a hole that you will need to make in the adjcent wall at the installation location of the lower end of the system. Before making any holes, be certain to make sure you are in the same framing bay!

To move heat, you will install the fan unit as high as possible on the the wall of the warm room. (Not too high or right against the ceiling or else it will look terrible and you run the risk of a framing obstruction 4-6 inches from the ceiling is about right.) Conversely, you will install the exhaust vent low on the wall of the cool room. You do this for obvious reasons: heat rises, so drawing air from high in the warm room and exausting it low into the cool room gives the best results.

Overall: Highly recommended.

I'm actually using this to transfer from one floor to the floor above it in an attempt to get the nice cool air from our walk-out into the hot family room during the summer.

The unit is not inexpensive, but it is quality made and shipped in a sturdy box to protect it.

Honest reviews on Tjernlund AireShare Room-To-Room Ventilator - Hardwired, Model# AS1

I tried using this ventilator to move the hot air near the wood stove to the adjoining room. The web site and product info did not offer any guidelines on room dimensions that this fan is good for. My rooms are way too big so it was a complete wrong fit. I think it is a good product but it needs much better advice on how to use it. I think it would work well for small rooms.

It was easy to install, but like other reviews I was thinking it would move more air. But we are using it for moving air from one floor to the next like the directions say not to. So over all please with it.
