Installation was easy

Pros: easy installation
Model Number: 1015APV
"In Bakersfield we have hot summers but cold winters. They include a thermostat that does not let the fan turn on until the attic is 80 degrees F. However if you are in a milder climate, this thermostat does not have to be used. This should extend the life of the fan."

Provide Much Needed Crawl Space Air Circulation

Pros: powerful easy installation quality construction
Model Number: 1015APV
"Had my handyman install this in my crawl space as a way to remove trapped moist air. Handyman was blown away at the power of the fan. Does a great job. Is on when the sun shines and turns off when it doesn't. Easy to install. High quality metal construction. Great product indeed! BTW...I live in Los Angeles."

GREAT PRODUCT-ALTERNATIVE FOR TILE ROOFS

Pros: works great, cheap, easy install
Model Number: 1015APV
"We bought another model fan for some of our rentals and our own home. Unfortunetly, we were unable to install on some of our properties do to having tile roofs. We called US Sunlight and they recommended the All Purpose Ventilator. We love the easy application and the product works great! We were excited to learn that their Solar Controller can be used with this fan also, because monitoring the conditions in the attic and being able to run the fans after dark has become a new obsession of ours. Our tenants love them too because they are saving money every month. Great buy!"

Idle for cooling stoage shed

Pros: works great
Model Number: 1015 APV
"The fan works like advertized. I installed it in my 10' by 30' storage shed, and it runs as soon as the sun rises till sunset. It was easy to install at the south end of the shed, just installed a 14' by 16" vent and installed the fan on inside of the vent, reinforced with 2X4's, it came on as soon as I hooked up the wiring."

Returning to COSTCO

Pros: simple installation
Cons: only works when directly illuminated
"While the construction is quite solid the solar panel has to be placed almost directly against the sun (perpendicularly to the sun rays). Otherwise voltage generated is not sufficient to move the fan at reasonable speed. I would need three panels facing east, south and west to have daylong operation"
