Exactly what I expected at a good price

I was looking for a replacement fan for my Dutch West wood insert and was shocked at the $500+ cost to purchase a new one. I took apart the old fan and the measurements for this replacement blower were real close. It took me a few weeks of trial and error to find the best placement of the fan, but ultimately, I was able to put this blower to use. Heat output is virtually the same as the previous blower I had.The heat sensor that shuts the fan on and off is AWESOME. The components of this blower look durable and I'm confident they will last in the environment where my fire is burning 16 hours per day. The only downside is the noise, which sounds like someone vacuuming when I'm in the next room with the door closed.While Dutch West is not listed, if you can remove the fan from that model wood insert, you'll can install this unit and save hundreds.

I've replaced the blower fan in our fireplace a couple of times over the last 15 years and they were satisfactory. This blower fan has been the best one so far. It pretty quiet, but by far blows out more air than the others ever did. Not too strong, but enough that my wife and I can feel a difference of 2-3 degrees over the last one. Installation was just as difficult as the last two due to the tight space into which it has to be installed. Placement of the thermostat on the bottom of the metal firebox is important. At first, the blower would frequently cycle on and off. But after repositioning the thermostat underneath and closer to the center of the firebox, the blower stayed on when the thermostat reached the fireplace temperature. I would given this item 5 stars if it were possible to determine its reliability over time. So far, it's working great 👍.

Received the replacement fan for our large fireplace. It was easy to install. I am very satisfied with the strength of the fan. On high, yes you can easily hear it, but it’s quieter than the old one. The first one was damaged, however the return & replacement time was much faster than expected considering I live in Alaska.

Good

The velcro mounting appears to be only double sided tape. The variabe speed control was faulty per my ohmmeter and was bypassed. Still, steems to be working okay and I believe it’s worth the money.

The directions were a little convoluted if you don’t understand electrical diagrams. But relatively easy install took about 20 minutes. With a huge difference from the heat in our fireplace as our fireplace was installed without one. 30 minute install.

Installed easily and worked well to start. Lasted the 1st winter, but a few weeks into the second winter it stopped. Motor hums, but blower won't spin.
