Digital camera reviews of Duct Stat Automatic Duct FanThermostat

Digital camera Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars

I never got this to work, tried many, many times for 2 weeks. During that period it did manage to turn my fan on 4 times, but two of those times the temperature was not near hot enough for it to have come on. And it never once turned the fan off automatically - it would run for hours before we would have to manually turn it off.
I bought this for cooling a cabinet that I had put a LCD TV in, & there was no ventilation, so didn't want my expensive TV to overheat. This thing's thermostat is a joke. You have a little wheel to turn, and the instructions are pathetic - 'turn the wheel clockwise until the fan comes on, turn it counter-clockwise until it turns off' - no mention of what temperature the thing should be at while you're setting it... Didn't matter anyway. I had a digital thermometer right next to this thing & tried many times to get it to work to no avail.
It mentions within 3-6 degrees of precision, ha!
I tried everything, sent it back. Possibly just a defective one.Duct Stat Automatic Duct FanThermostat

Summary of Duct Stat Automatic Duct FanThermostat

The Duct Stat automatically turns an attached duct booster (sold separately) on when the flow of heated air is sensed (in heat mode) or the flow of cold air is sensed in (cool mode). Automatically turns the duct booster off when the flow of air stops.Installs on the outside of the duct downstream of the duct booster. The Duct Stat must be manually switched between heat/cool modes in the winter and in the summer.
