Went through two units before throwing in the towel on this piece of junk. First one the fan blade was so badly balanced and out of round it rattled like crazy. Returned it on Amazon as defective. Replacement unfortunately wasnt much better then Low and Medium settings stopped working and could only run on High. Finally threw it in the trash and picked up a Maxxair Plus and couldnt be happier. Lesson learned...

I've gotten many years out of my Heng's Vortex fan. Love it. Maybe they have a quality control issue these days. You're not the first I've heard say similar. In fact it sounds almost verbatim.

I've found anything branded "Hengs" to be low grade garbage. Possibly even lower grade than something associated with or made by Lippert, but that's certainly hard to beat. Actually most products associated with or made for the RV Industry are total junk.

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....

The high speed is noisy but we don’t use the high speed often enough to bother us.

Would really like a Maxair but was also thinking about trying the Hengs to get me by for now. It has to be better than what I have. Sounds like if I get a good one it will be.
