I plan to mount this onto the base bezel of a Pelican case of electronics that will generate too much heat. I have not done so or used it much, but out of the box I'm blown away by the quality of this product. Because they don't supply any technical information whatsoever, and Q&A and reviews on here are just all over the place (wrong information, people talking that should not, etc.), I wanted to immediately share first impressions and the power measurements and testing I just did.
Firstly, it does not blow a ton of air, and I have no way to measure that. They state 26cfm, I would assume this is using their "boost" adapter (it just puts out 6.4V instead of 5V) and on the "high" setting. At this max output, it makes enough noise that you can hear it. It is REALLY quite quiet. The reports from people that it is "loud" must be in the context of a home theater, you would indeed hear it during quiet parts of a show. But it is NOT loud. But, at settings other than high, or not using their power supply, I could not really hear it at all.
Ok, I also have detailed power measurements for those that need this:
Any 5V USB Power Supply
LO: 98mA, or 489mW
MED: 124mA, or 620mW
HIGH: 157mA, or 789mW
"Boost" Supply (included)
LO: 124mA, or 786mW
MED: 156mA, or 1W
HIGH: 198mA, or 1.27W
I hope this helps folks, this is an excellent product and very low power, I think. Please ignore the ignorant and snarky other information people have posted on here, and no, none of this is posted by the manufacturer here, or anywhere else. The comfort level exceeded expectations. It fits perfectly in our space.
