Hengs Vortex II - waste of money...

More like 2x but yeah you definately get what you pay for. On Amazon the Hengs was $60 and Maxxair $128.

But you get more than just a chincy fan insert with the Maxxair. Its an entire vent assembly with lid.

I've put the Henges fans in my last two units, worked just fine. Must be luck of the draw.

Depends which model you buy.

The last Hengs I purchased came as a complete roof vent assembly, not an insert like I was thinking it would be. Cost was about equal to the price I paid for an insert years before.

The motor and blade on either of my Hengs is equal if not better than my "designed in America" Endless Breeze. There's no extra quality from the fancy brand name, just a higher price tag. All I got when I paid for it was the fancy designed in America sticker on the Endless Breeze.

3 in a row. Fantastic fan Endless Breeze. Three that whine/howl on #2 and #3 speed that they are worthless. Direct from Fantastic Fan. I'm not talking about a subtle noise, the whine is so loud it is embarrassing. Everyone hears it and grit their teeth. And no it isn't some subtle harmonic from a power supply -- straight off an isolated battery.

Welcome to BUY AMERICAN. Now lean forward and grab your ankles....

OK, the OP is talking about a Roof mounted ceiling vent fan. YOU seem to be talking about a PORTABLE Endless Breeze fan. WHY????? Doug

Hengs = Chinese junk

Fantastic Fan is now owned by Dometic. New units are Chinese junk.

Study the product, the important parts between the portable fan and the ceiling unit are the same.

I've got the Vortex II in my rig, good airflow, no problems so far.

Or......you just got the "heng" of doing a good installation...;)

I've put the Heng's fans in my last two Rigs. Both were the insert type and worked just fine. The current one is noisy on high, but the noise is the high air flow. I would get another if I needed to.
