Hyper Fan HGC701405 Digital Mixed Flow Fan In And Out Room System 8" - 710 CFM Blue

Rearranged my setup recently to consolidate from two separate rooms into one. With that came a need to evacuate heat in a 5 x 8 closet. Since I was only using a T5 VHO with 8 48" bulbs I thought one of those 4" AC infinity fans would do the job. Not even close. I might as well have thrown that $89.99 out of a window. Anyways I took the time to do a little research and came to the conclusion based on that, that this fan should be the one. Fortunately I was right. Paid a little extra for shipping because I was against the clock with the heat now at problem levels. The thing about this fan is it's ability to overcome static pressure. This is the most important aspect of moving air with inline fans. Not only does this fan blast air, it does it using less electricity that most other fans. With the 4" fan, I could turn it on full and you wouldn't know by looking at any flexible ducting that it was even on. With this 8" Hyper Fan there is absolutely no doubt whether or not its on. I hooked up a 25' 8" 4 layer flexible duct that just came out of the box and wasn't fully stretched out yet and when I turned on the fan it inflated like a balloon. So hard that you would have to turn the fan off or down if you wanted to do anything with the ducting. You couldn't manipulated it if the fan was fully on. It would be like wrestling with a 8" fire hose. Of course it has a variable speed control so you don't have to run it full blast. But if you need an inline fan that you can be sure will do what we buy inline fans for, this one is it. Yeah it's not the cheapest but in the long run since it works so flawlessly and uses less juice and has a 5 year guarantee. I'd say it's worth every penny.

It's pictured with a i power 8 inch activated carbon filter for better air quality as we have black mold and bad smells from time to time. Only had the fan for 2 days running 24-7. Speed controller at 35 to 50%. The cord for the speed is 16ft which is plenty for my use. No scratches dings or dents.No missing parts or bends in the mounting plate. No bent wires or broken connectors or loose screws. I've read tons of reviews on this fan and I'm very pleased with it. The only thing that caught me off guard was the two year warranty which I read in another review it was a typo when they printed all the material on the box and in it. Got it in 2 days shipping wise. It moves a ton of air. Will not stay like the pictures if my ducting ever gets here. I have it on a push button outlet that's rated 5 amps for easy on/off ability. Added a short video my mic isn't that great but you can sort of hear it ramping up and down. Might sound like it hums but it doesn't. If I ever get a house and it doesn't have central air I'll probably get another 8 or maybe a 10 inch fan from Hyper Fan to do the same thing! If you haven't seen the you tube videos also the wattage is 100 watts at 100% 50 watts at 50% and 10 watts at 35% which is incredible for the air it moves. 10$ extra a month to run it all out 24-7 isn't a bad price point including it has compatible speed controller and 5 year warranty you would have to be crazy not to spend extra money on this fan unless it's going to be in an area over 110 degrees.

My expectations were not super high for this fan but I trusted the CFM rating to accomplish what I felt I needed.Compared to the 6" inline duct fan this thing blows it out of the water. I have it hooked up to a HVAC filter box with a filter in front of it and I can feel significant air flow in front of the filter. My purpose is for a small paint room to clear the air from Cerakote spray while painting.Honestly the fan works so good sometimes I turn it on simple to just filter dust out of the air. It comes with the remote which I did not think was included. You don't need to purchase the remote but you'll be running with it essentially turned on if its plugged in, your only control being the speed.I peiced together HVAC parts from a few stores and it was really easy to make a duct with a filter going out of the paint room to a window. I dont think fitting parts on some of the other style fans would be nearly as easy.No rattles, balanced perfectly. You don't expect power like this from such a small fan and when you see the actual fan blade it doesn't look like it would be as good as it is. Check out the pics and you'll see the setup I chose. I think most people are using this for cooling of lights but I found someone on a Cerakote forum who chose this fan and I followed in his steps. Couldn't be happier.

I'm not going to name names here, because the fan that I replaced with this comes from a company that I generally like. But this fan is nothing short of incredible.The old 6" 390 cfm fan and highly-rated filter simply weren't doing the job. This Hyper Fan paired with a  Phresh 8x24" carbon filter  knocked out odors in minutes.Yes, 8" is probably overkill for a 4x4x7" grow tent, even with the speed control dialed down to 35 - 40%. And while the fan can get quite loud at full blast, it's nearly silent below 50%.I paired this with a 6" Hyper Fan and  6x12" Phresh intake filter , and I've got so much airflow in my basement grow tent -- with the 8" at 40% and the 6" at 50%, I need to throw a heater in there. A few days ago, I was struggling to keep temps below 80!The only real concern I have is mounting ductwork. There was a substantial gap on the Phresh filter, where I'd very strongly recommend getting a  clamp to secure the fan  to your filter, if you aren't using ductwork in between. A secondary concern is the cool blue finish scratches off if you look at it the wrong way. You probably won't see it inside the ducts anyway, but it made me kind of sad.
