TerraBloom ECMF-100, 4 Inch Inline Fan with Digital Speed Controller for HVAC, Duct Ariflow Boosting, Grow Tent Exhaust and Filtration

TLDR: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 An inline fan that's a powerhouse in airflow, whisper-quiet, and energy-efficient - perfect for our indoor garden! 🍃🔇 So, we've got this new inline fan for our 4x4 indoor garden, and it's an absolute beast at moving air! If you're setting one up, make sure your tent can handle the suction, or it'll be like shrink-wrapping your plants. We've linked it to a temp controller, keeping it at a cool 30% speed to get rid of the extra heat. Pros: Solid build quality - it's metal all over, except for the plastic impeller. Setup is super quick and hassle-free. Power use? Only 15w at the lowest and 25w at full blast. It's so quiet, you'll forget it's there. The airflow is surprisingly powerful for its size and energy draw. Attaching a 4in duct is no sweat. Snagged it at a fantastic price initially. Cons: It's locked to its own speed controller – no universal compatibility. Noticed a price jump after our purchase. Lacks auto adjustment features for humidity and temperature. Energy usage? It's a dream. Running this fan at 30%, with a small fan and a 135w light both on medium, we're only using about 90 watts. That's gentle on the seedlings and the electric bill. Crank it up for the growth phase, and it's still a lean 130 watts. Our electricity costs are laughing – this setup's costing us about $7 monthly. Haven't tried it with a filter yet, but we're eyeing up another fan and dual filters from the same maker for a future upgrade. In a nutshell: This inline fan is a star performer. Robust, ultra-quiet, and energy-conscious, it's a must-have for any indoor gardening aficionado. My one gripe? I'd love a feature to control the fan speed automatically based on environmental changes. But overall, it's a purchase I'd repeat without a second thought.

Amazing fan, so happy I found terrabloom. Ecm fans should be the current standard for all grow fans however this is not the case. Don't be fooled by other nice looking fans that have 60yr old fan technology inside. This paired with a good led grow light and you have a super efficient setup with infinite control over air speed instead of just a few speeds, and it will last longer, use less power and be more quiet.

Works great out of the box. Long power and speed control cords. Fairly quiet too! Was my first exhaust fan so I really have nothing to compare it to. Had a defect and was still under the 2 year warranty. The sales rep I spoke to had my replacement unit sent out within a day of the inquiry.

this little fan is awesome. previously used the vivosun 4in, but the last one i purchased was probably defective and far too loud. it eventually died. to their credit, vivosun did give me a prorated refund at about 90% of purchase price. that said, i’m soooo glad i spent the extra money to purchase this fan. the small size surprised me, and this review may change if the small, lightweight size can’t handle normal use. but, for now at least, two weeks in, its worked like a charm. the small size is misleading; the thing really moves air well. bonus is the power control; it comes with a cord that is long enough for pretty much anything. moreover, the noise level is neglible; the device is whisper quiet. finally, being able to adjust a full 100 percent is so intuitively right, i am surprised more fans with speed control don’t allow full control. very happy with the purchase.

This fan is well constructed steel. It moves sufficient air and pretty quiet. I bought the digital speed controller and prefer 5/8 for best CFM/Noise. However, many times when I turn it on the controller beeps, shows backward '3' presumedly for 'Error' and the fan will not start. Emails to terra-bloom support have yet to be answered. Update. Support said "...typically caused but inconsistent connection between the speed module and the fan. Please try to unplug the cord from both sockets, swap the jacks and plug them back into sockets with some force, the jack in the fan’s socket has to “click” into its spot." So far, this has fixed my issue.
