The fans feature a fully sealed plastic housing. An air-tight fan ensures that efficiency is not lost and contaminants are not spilled due to leakage.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The only possible negative comment would be regarding the attachment of the mounting bracket to the fan body. Screws were provided but that would have meant driving metal screws right through the fan housing. Fearing coming too close to the impellers I chose instead to use two part, high strength epoxy to attach the mounting plate. It worked well. Overnight setup. Did the job without compromising the integrity of the air chamber.
There are 2 things I don't like.
1) There is no ground to wire to within the box. I don't understand this decision by Fanteck, but the motor is mounted and working, but there the ground sire is tucked in and not in use. Strange to me.
2) The mounting device includes rubber grommets, but it's not clear which screws should be used: the long ones or short ones. This is because the shorts ones seem too short. The instructions could be clearer about this.
The screws that were included to close the lid on the electrical enclosure were too short to reach through the plastic lid and grab the plastic boss on the body of the fan. I had to climb out of the attic and get some longer screws to finish up the installation.
The mounting system is good for noise isolation. However, getting the rubber grommets between the fan body and the metal plate while also threading in the screw is difficult. I dropped the rubber grommet and the screw multiple times. (Spent 10 minutes searching through insulation to find it again. Place a plastic garbage bag under the unit during installation to avoid my mistake and catch the parts when they inevitably fall.

Cons: price? It's a bit pricy but after trying some cheap thing from China which moved less air than a fart, this thing is a golden example of buy once, cry once. Don't be fooled by cheaper options.
