Which In line fan is the best?

I have been comparing in line fans and researching some of the different brands. Which ones do you think are best?

Do you like the "Can-Fan"? I have read that they can be noise?

Has anyone ever tried the Sunleaves? It is made out of plastic and is supposed to help reduce noise?

How about the fan tech?

I am using one myself.And do a search on riu called these fans are the real deal...

go to home depot theve got 4, 6, 8, inch duct fans 4 has 180 cfms $25.00 6 has 250 cfms $28.00 8 inch 500 cfm $40 -$50 they are just as good as any at any hydro store

I use a canfan... it has great power but does generate some noise... hang with bungee cords really reduces the noise... good luck on your fan hunt brother

maybe the one with the most CFM,less noise

I'm thinking this might be one of the better designs, and price per CFM. Doesn't draw that much current either.

Mindmelted i also use the td mixed vent fan it is the best high airflow to pressure ratio / to noise inline fan i ever tested. i have the td-150 on half power with a speed control and its very very quiet. Hope this helps ... Keep it Green

I also use these fans, i have 2 TD - 150's
one for exhaust and one for intake, wouldnt use anything else !!
Check out my Journal !!

hey check these fans out, i have a few of them and this is the cheapest site i could find, if anyone has knows of any cheaper please let me know, the cfm the site gives is the minimum.

i have a vortex 4 inch thats loud as hell and a 4 inch fantech thats whisper quiet, go with the fantech

The inline fans at my local hydroponic stores are so expensive. A 170 cfm is priced for 150 bux.

go to home depot!!!!

go to Home depot they have duct fans for cheap not sure how quiet but they are already in a piece of duct and plastic blades so prob. pretty quiet 6 inch with 250 cfms for $28.00 8 inch 500 cfms $40 - $50 oh and a 4 inch 180 cfms for $25.00

a ducy fan is not an inline fan. A duct fan helps an inline fan out. An inlne fan is what you need if a fan is what you need. I mean that a duct fan wont really do much. More like air current.

Go to eBay. CHEAP! Or craigslist. Never know when you find a 50 dollar one. I use a 6 in for a 400 and a 600 watt but I am upgrading to a 8 in for my 600 as it is hot here. THey are loud but just hanging my 6 in the tent on bungees made the sound on a valuline easy to stand in my bedroom. I have to valulines. They make some noise. It goes away fast with any dampeneing efforts. Blankest insulated ducts, mufflers. All that works times ten. SO if money is your goal, then prob a valuline is the way to go.

duct fan is the same thing you can use them any way you want if your trying to cool of lights then you just hook your flexible ducting to it either in one side to push air or the other side to pull it out or you can put it in the ducting inline or whatever there really is no need for those pricy hydro ones just because they say they are for growing
