Our Endless Breeze Fan has been working flawlessly since purchased in 2002 during our RV adventures! Today, due to our investment in Makita 18V lithium ‘tools’, in addition we have a Makita DCF300Z 18V LXT Cordless 13″ Job Site Fan and two (2) Makita DCF102Z 18V LXT 7-1/8″ Fans aboard our Gemini 105Mc. The ability to “cut-the-cord” with these fans provides air-circulation anywhere for any project on the boat! Last, we also have a Caframo Taku hatch fan that really moves air “in or out” of a compartment, especially when sleeping.
Thanks!
