Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air King 9166 20" Whole-House Window Fan
Customer Review: powerful and pretty
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this to help ventilate my old house and it is now set it up in a window in my third-floor attic. First, the bad stuff.
The installation instructions are abysmal. I needed to do an exterior frame mount (which entails mounting it OUTSIDE the interior window frame, rather than mounting it within the window frame) and the instructions leave out a VERY important detail. To mount it this way, you must remove the expandable side pieces entirely and then turn them around and re-install. That would have been useful information to have.
Also, the fan does not mount easily on a flat window sill. I had to install a piece of molding on the window sill to keep the fan's bottom from scooching right out the window (and down three stories). That bit of info is also not mentioned in the instructions.
Third, I did initially try an inside-frame mount and the design of the fan is such that this is nearly impossible to do, unless you have the widest window frame that this fan will accomodate.
Now the good stuff. It is an easy-to-use fan and the six-option switch has three speeds and two directions. The select-speed knob is well-located and easy to read and use. The fan is mostly metal and looks like it is well built (other than the design problems listed above). It's powerful enough, but it's not a super-strong fan. With the opposing attic window shut, this fan will pull a slight breeze from the second floor bedroom windows, but it's not like the belt-driven whole-house fans of yore. Those things would suck unsuspecting kittens and pet iguanas right off the floor.
However, it does help ventilate the house and it doesn't make too much racket. This fan is mounted directly over my bedroom window (10' up in the attic) and on high, even at night, I do not hear the fan. For the money, it's probably a pretty good deal. Above all, it'll help keep my attic from turning into an oven during the dog days of summer.
