What I've discovered about fans & controllers...

I absolutely HATED the hum from my RVK,and my Vivosun,switched to an AC infinity and would never go back now.

The AC Infinities don't move any more air than their competitors it seems. Is the lack of noise the big draw?

lack of noise and the lower power usage

It will be my next extraction fan purchase, I really am very interested after reading all the reviews here on the forum

They have an ec motor. That allows a controller to turn in down to the minimum to keep neg pressure
and control smell. Regular fans can't do this and will turn off when temps and humidity are good.

A half decent fan controller prevents this...

Do any other fans have an ec motor? I don't need the climate control feature that the ac infinity has. Plain vanilla and quiet is all I want from a fan.

the AC infinity come in 2 models, T model with the temp control and S model with a manual speed control. Then they sell a controller separate to convert the S to a T if required.

S model is cheaper too

I guess I'd better refresh my memory on this.
I do know being brushless and direct current they are far more efficient meaning less heat,
and less noise.

The Cloudline S4 is looking good.

Running a cmh 24/0 is costing me almost £13 a week and 20% of that is the fan.

205 cfm and my cupboard is 56 cubic feet. Being conservative and allowing 50% less airflow because of the filter, that's still almost 2 exchanges of air per minute.

Current fan @ 40% power, 80w = £2.55 a week.

S4 at max draw 28w = £0.87 a week. Will pay for itself in 70 weeks or less.

If I can also get the 100w led that is currently out of stock, I'll go from almost £13 a week to almost £4 a week.

Hope they pay you well Farmer G. I'm sold. I like the maths.
