I have used these for years. First started with an Ecofan, cost was around $125 or so. First one lasted about 5 years. I read that I could just replace the "Sterling Engine", cutting the wires and using small wire nuts to connect new engine. I replaced the fan about four or five years ago with a new Ecofan. Then I saw similar fans for less than $50. I decided to try one and it worked just fine.

So now I have two fans, one cheaper and one more expensive. Both work fine. I had one pointing toward the Woodstove where my wife sat. It doesn't blast you out of the house, rather it "moves" the air around. I also have a ceiling fan that in the wintertime, I have blowing upwards to circulate the air gently up and around.

I recommend using them. Just get a model with at least 100 cfm or higher speed.
