Newair has a generous warranty on their products, which allowed me to obtain a free replacement for my unit that was experiencing some issues. I always try to support US based companies if I possibly can, and outcomes like this show the benefits of doing so. The fan moves a lot of air for its size and is quiet. Mine is used in a shop with extremely tall ceilings to help manage cooling by maneuvering hot air to exhaust fans, but the fact that the motor is sealed, makes me interested in installing one outdoors in the gazebo for some hot summer relief.
