Hydrofarm Inline Fan 8 Review

Hydrofarm Active Air 8 inch In-Line Fan 720 CFM

Hydrofarm inline fan

It is used as exhaust fan at many jobs such as room,garage,studio, industry appliances, and so on. Looking the product, it is centrifugal blower type. The air flow rate is amazing, 720 CFM (cubic feet per minutes). But it is rather noisy, so i do not recommended it for range hood job. Yes it is sucking air quickly in huge amount indeed, but its too noisy for kitchen appliances class. But for room exhaust fan class, it is quite silent and of course effective in doing his jobs.

Beside rather quite operation, it also durable and it prooved with many features provided such as : the impeller material made from high quality molded material, the Alternating Current motor which thermally protected, ceramic-coated metal housing with UL recognized components, and to prevent shake it provided with mounting brackets. The exhaust directions also can be set horizontal or vertical (by rotating the foots into the direction we like, and then tighten the screws).
