What is the difference between this model and the Fan-Tastic 807350 Vent? Why is this model about a hundred dollars cheaper? Thanks!

The Fan-Tastic 807350 has a digital wireless remote. If you have a large trailer with tall ceilings, that might be worthwhile. We have a Casita, and I can reach the fan from lying in bed, so it is not an issue.

Call Air Vent, the distributor of the switch, at 1-800-AIR-VENT (247-8368). They should be able to answer your question. The amazon.com ad says it's for whole house fans, like the attic fan I run with it. That attic fan also has a separate starting capacitor. In almost a year of use, I have had no problems with the switch.

Agreed to previous answer by Gary Colyer. Do I notice much difference from regular vent cover with one side open? Well, I can't really tell the difference to be honest; however, it should increase air flow as I reasonably consider the design. My rational to justify changing regular vent cover with one side opening was 1- cover on it was showing age and there was a crack 2- ease of cleaning 3- spent enough $$$ for my RV so i see no reason to save $10 or so for a product with a better design.Just be careful with your footing when you are up on the roof, read instruction before you go up there, then it will be an easy installation. Good luck. Agreed to previous answer by Gary Colyer. Do I notice much difference from regular vent cover with one side open?

I seem to remember the 100 series is fan only. The 200 series is fan and light. Without research that's what I remember. Mine 's a few years old and works well.

It is a standard exhaust Does not require a power vent. I have one I a enclosed room in a barn with no vent on it and have never had a fumes or heat problem with it. The one we have in our outdoor kitchen has a pipe but not sure it really made any difference It only runs a minute at a time so no long run times on either of mineI really like these units and how hot they get so fast.

I should really check the "I don't know" box, but a few considerations come to mind. (1) this is a powerful and reasonably noisy fan...ones built for the purpose of kitchen venting might be quieter. (2) you're dealing with a lot of grease and crud if you're over anything that produces smoke (such as an indoor bbq) and I doubt if this is built to handle that, (3) I should think that a hood arrangement built for the purpose might be just as cheap as a built-to-order stainless hood and duct work ( you would, of course, want stainless); (3) this is meant to evacuate an entire attic -- you could create quite a (detrimental) draft ducting it down to a single hood and/or overload the motor with restrictive duct work. But I don't see why it wouldn't work given the proper analysis and engineering. It is an exhaust fan, after all. If you're exhausting an entire (kitchen) room, I should think that the only things you need to worry about are the noise and potentially restrictive/overloading/damaging duct work.

I purchased the Ventamatic CX 2500 because it is rated at 1650 CFM and has a lifetime warranty. The motor has stamped 2.1 amps. This is a very efficient motor and more efficient (= less amps needed) than CX 1500. I think that's why a lifetime warranty. CX 1500 is 2 year warranty. The Ventamatic web site is great. Check them for more info. My fan is great and I highly recommend.

(after my first comment) I now see the 2500 cfm fan uses an "efficient PSC motor"...and costs $10+$12=$22 more, so it is a special motor giving it high efficiency.(apparently larger blades too) Wiki says : "PSC motors (permanent-split capacitor) are frequently used in air handlers, blowers, and fans (including ceiling fans) and other cases where variable speeds are desired." ...or for improved efficiency apparently. So I now say "it's the special motor"..... I also see the numbers are misleading, so read all the details.. the "1500" moves 1300cfm for a 1850sf attic, and says 3.4 amp, but also below says 2.6 amp! the one I bought. The "1600" actually is a 1600 cfm fan so it says, for a 2400sf attic at 4.5 amp, and seems to be 15"x15". The "2500" relates not to the cfm, but to the 2500sf attic! only 100 more than the "1600" model... with amps supposedly at 2.1, but listed as 21"x21". good luck.

Since I have only the 2551, I'm guessing - but it appears the only difference is the color of the face (the area surrounding the vents). Mine is silver and the picture for the 2554 shows a 'gold' or 'bronze' color. Otherwise they seem to be the same fan.

There was one of these in the home I moved into last year. It worked well enough, but the vent fan sounded like a jet engine. Also, there seemed to be no noticeable sound difference between high and low. My model was made in 2006, so I'm not sure how much they've improved this since.

It depends upon what features are important to you. I recommend that you consider the 4000R which has reverse switch so you can either vent or bring fresh air in. The color refers to the trim on the fan that needs to match the trim in your RV Bathroom. Fantastic fans are quieter and move more air than standard equipment and are well worth the money. Replacing your old vent fan is a challenging job, but a skilled handy man who follows directions can accomplish in a few hours.

It was a "pusher type" installed on a built 350 Chev and it did not do as well as the 500 cfm fan it replaced. I compared the flow to a friends car with identical fan and there was a noticeable difference. I returned the fan and bought a different brand and no problems since.

Both inlet and outlet are the same size. The problem is that the fans give their size as an outside diameter and the pipe you connect them to give their size as an inside diameter. You need a coupler that is two different sizes. This is the right one - price for the two of them is fair. http://www.amazon.com/Flexible-PVC-Coupling-HP190-Mounting/dp/B008D7R3NO/ref=pd_sim_hi_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=16A2ZKV6BWPYYW57QKMY If I remember right the Fernco 1051-54 coupler is what it actually is. The 5/4 isn't a full 5" to 4" but that is what it is called.

Valerie, the difference between the two versions is that the one without the fan is only 512MB of ram, whereas the one with the fan is TWICE that amount of ram, being 1024MB ( 1G ), which needs a fan. The more ram you have, the more heat, but most importantly is the more ram you have the higher the resolution you can get ! Both are fine, just depends on what you want. My preference is always for more ram, and a fan ! Hopes this helps you out Valerie, and happy shopping here on Amazon !

The fan assembly can be rotated to vent up, back or forward. It does not state the CFM's but the fan seems stronger than the ones on the GE models. I prefer this to the GE ones I own and have owned in the past.

The 80 is a great fan. It pulls a lot of air very quietly, but for the difference in price I would go with 110 an error on having more CFMs with the shower.
