Product review (2 stars): I'm hoping this vent fan works, but......
12 months later......

2 of the 3 lights burned out.  Disappointed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I did a lot of research on vent fans before I purchased this one.  I am having a new house built and the cabinet shop fans left me unimpressed.  After reading many reviews a I settled on this one.  It did arrive very quickly and was well packaged.  I did want to test it to insure it worked prior to dropping it off at the cabinet builder for he probably won't get to this for at least three weeks.  I wanted to insure it worked.  It was well packed.

My big concern.  When I pulled it out of the box the shroud has several scratches on it.  More concerning was in the bottom of the box several small nuts and one bolt where laying there.  I was able to figure out where one of the nuts went, but never could figure out the bolt and nut.  I plugged it in and after figuring out the timer button MUST be pressed first and then the fan speed everything worked.

My concern with this fan is that I feel strongly that it is not a "new" fan.  I suspect highly that it is a refurbished fan.  Personally I don't think it is right to re-market an item without telling the customer.  As I need this fan now, I'm not going to send it back.  However if this fan disappoints me in the future I will certainly make the time to come back and adjust this rating to the lowest possible and a few other choice words.

Would welcome the manufacture to contact me directly and discuss.
