Excellence Xs 2 !
Like a kid on Christmas morning, I immediately unpacked and placed the Airmax 812 on the top of a hot Jotul stove, then started a stopwatch. One minute fifty-four seconds later the blade started turning slowly, in another two minutes the fan was in full spin mode. I couldn't detect much air movement at first, so I lit a stick of incense. From three-plus feet away it was obvious that the fan was blowing the smoke wildly. After two hours the temperature in the large, high-ceiling room increased by four degrees and felt to be rising. Overall, I was so happy I went online and bought a second fan that same day! Now both fans not only look great, they also work in unison and heat the room more quickly, quietly, and efficiently! I am looking forward to settling-in and enjoying a warmer and more comfortable cabin all winter long here in northern Michigan. Ecofan Airmax 812 is an outstanding addition to my home!
ProsEfficient, quiet, attractive, no set-up or maintenance required, comes ready to go! As the stove cools, the fan blades slow down indicating it's time to throw another log on the fire.
ConsThe multiple ads for "replacement motor" concern me. Apparently the motors wear out and need to be replaced, perhaps sooner than expected, hopefully after the two-year warranty period.
