Seems to function quite well. Currently in January I don’t think there is enough solar energy to charge the batteries fully, so it does not run all night. What did surprise me on receiving the unit was it’s size. I had a solar vent previously that was much smaller. This vent is the size of a dinner plate or so. Not a big deal, but it wasn’t clear from the description just how big it was. Overall, it works well and was very easy to install.

They must have listned because the instructions are now detailed as to where the batteries go. Unfortunatley I had bad batteries when it arrived and the trouble shooting details had instructed me to go and buy new ones. It didnt fit into my hatch so I sold it at a discount to a friend who could use it and go get new NiMh batteries. It’s a pain to send stuff back!

The instructions were so bad I went to the net, expecting something better. Nope same stuff. There is a white plastic part that covers the screws for the battery. Not shown in the instructions. Once I got it together and istalled – doesn’t work. The night light is super, fan doesn’t work.

I bought this Stainless steel solar vent for my dad’s boat around August 2008. When it came, the internal fan motor was out of balance, so it was making noise unless you hold/mount it at a certain angle. Since I did not have time to send it back and wait for replacement, I decided to go with it and mounted it on my dad’s boat by carefully adjusting the angle of it so it worked without making noise.
But after 4 months, it simply stopped working. For 120 something dollars, it should be much more sturdy.
Also the manual is horrible. For the battery installation/replacement, remove the led light and you will see a thin white foam sheet cover. Remove that, and you will see two tiny screws. You have to remove them and then you can remove the battery cover. Even though I am a very technical person, it took me a long while to figure that out since my manual only said to use a dime to open it through a small notch.
Anyway, if you really need a powered went, this is best looking one but build quality is not very good. Now I have to remove it from the boat and have to install a porthole window to cover the 10″ opening.
I will update this comment once I contact and get further info about the warranty process, if there is any.

This was a no-brainer to install and is so far working fine. The only gripe I have is that the motor and fan unit is a little more loose in the mounting tube then I’d like. If I accidently bash it with my head it tends to slip, which causes the blades to hit the sides of the mounting tube. The suck/blow/on/off switch is very accessible and the unit is built solid and is as attractive as an ugly aluminum fan housing can be.
