Easy assembly in unit. Really helps spread the heat from the fireplace across the lower floor of the home when used with the ceiling fan operating in the counter clockwise rotation. Helps reduce electric heating costs.Must ensure the rubber feet remain in place when installing to ensure vibration is minimized.

The hardest part is on how to squeeze it in the tight space under the fireplace.Once placed into position, the wires and plug are easy to attach. The magnetic thermostat just attaches easily. Fire up the fireplace and adjust blower to your needs. Highest could be noisy but it's easily adjustable.

Unfortunately this product came with three contradictory wiring diagrams for the same power strip setup.After following the first and testing it has not worked. The second two wiring diagrams involve plugging the leads from the speed switch and sensor into connectors located on the power strip. Unfortunately, the speed switch had a male coupler where a female coupler would be required so neither of these options are viable. In addition, one of these diagrams has the wires labelled with the wrong colour adding to the confusion. It specifies a blue wire where no blue wire is included in the product.Searching the internet, I discovered a fourth method which uses a separate jumper cable. However, as this product did not come with this wire I will need to get the couplers and wire from the hardware store and build this wire myself to test.I would recommend spending the extra money and buying the brand name product.Edit: after spending the time and money to construct the coupler wire which was not included with the product, or specified in the included instructions, the motor is now working. Louder than I'd prefer but functional.

Great price for a replacement blower motor. No vibrations and it blows a lot of air. When the fan is turned all the way up it’s a little to loud. Just the sound of the air moving not motor noise. I only have it about a 1/4 of the way up and it’s quite and still blows a lot of air. Hopefully it’ll last 15 years like the original one did. Lol

Was worried about buying this for our fireplace. We just bought a house and we were told the blower didn't work. Come to find out they didn't have one at all. Since it is not sold by the maker, I was worried about how it would work. We have had it going every day for a month and it is working great. Now our living room gets nice and toasty.

This fan / blower was very easy to install in my gas log fireplace. It produces an expected amount of airflow (not substantial, but acceptable). However, it also produces an annoying vibration and a sound of rattling metal. The blower wheel is not balanced well, as vibration can be felt when the fan is running. This vibration transfers through the sheet metal frame of the fireplace and resonates loudly. A well-balanced blower would not have this issue. I am considering returning this unit in order to purchase one that is made with better quality.

This product came with no instruction manual. As I was searching all over the internet for the instructions I determined that I must have too many wires that were manufacture bundle together. After wasting hours, I figured out the configuration. Fortunately it works!It is a little louder than hoped for; however since I didn’t have a previous blower, this is much better than none!:-)
