Review: echo en usa pero tiende a vibrar mucho no son calibrados correctamente Review: Got this fan to replace an engine powered unit in a vintage Jaguar to give myself a few extra horses and relieve some of the strain on the old water pump bearings. I originally was going to buy a no-name version but after some internet research I decided that the flex-a-lite would be worth the extra few bucks. This fan draws a good number of amps so if installing it in an old car be sure to upgrade the alternator. In my Jag at idle it cools it down and shuts off in less than a minute at 70 degrees (F). I used a flex-a-lite adjustable fan controller which is also a nice piece of kit. All in all, a really good product at a very good price. Similar no-names cost about $80 with shipping and I've heard some horror stories about cheap fans coming apart at speed. This one is fully balanced and seems to run quite smoothly. ## Features - Overall dimensions of Height 15 3/4 Inch x Width 16 5/8 Inch x Depth 4-Inch. - Flows 2,500 cfm (cubic feet per minute) at 17 amps of current draw - Increases horsepower while extending water pump life (when used to replace belt fan) - Ideal for supplemental cooling, Number of Blades: 8,Engine: L4 - One year manufacturer warranty ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000CNHG34 | | Brand | Flex-a-lite | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (184) | | Date First Available | 21 September 2023 | | Item Weight | 2.72 Kilograms | | Item model number | 398 | | Manufacturer | Flex-A-Lite | | Manufacturer Part Number | 105317 | | Model | 398 | | OEM Part Number | 398 | | Product Dimensions | 40.13 x 10.16 x 42.42 cm; 2.72 kg | | Special Features | Manual | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 16 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Flex-a-lite - **Colour:** Black - **Electric fan design:** Blower - **Mounting type:** Wall Mount - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Product dimensions:** 10.2D x 42.2W x 0.5H centimeters - **Recommended uses for product:** Cooling - **Room type:** All rooms - **Special features:** Manual - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![398 Syclone Black 16" S-Blade Reversible Electric Fan - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81iXQCggUaL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: It is 12 volts or 24 volts** A: It's 12 volts **Q: is this a pusher or a puller** A: It operates both puller or pusher. **Q: This product type pull the wind?
