Sirocco II™ Fan from by Caframo. 12V/24V Auto-Sensing DC, Omnidirectional Low-Power Draw Fan for Boats and RVs. Hardwire Installation Required. Made in Canada. White.

I bought this a little over a year ago for my bus RV conversion. I'm just now relocating it to a different area. I had this mounted on the front dash board. While driving it was great, while parked it kept air moving down the center isle of the bus. This thing is very quiet, 3 speeds, timer function, so it will shut off 12,8,6 hrs later, see the details. One thing is I had a switch on my console for this fan. Because of it's fancy controls, you still had to turn it on at the fan. So once powered up via the switch on the console, you then reach over and turn it on whatever setting. This is best used for constant power, using the momentary switches that control it. Also best mounted on a wall. Unit has a back plate that installs first, then the fan base has a slide lock to finish the installation so you don't see the screws. Very smart unit. Most importantly it moves air, you can feel it 10 feet away or further. Hopefully this helps someone else. Highly recommend, but details of functionality be even more helpful.

These are the best fans on boats by far. I have used these fans on all my previous boats in the past they never disappoint. Quiet, effective and very reliable.

For years I had Hella fans on my sailboat. Recently I bought a replacement and for the first time I saw that they are now made in China. Guess what? The motor was bad and the fan was useless…that is why I gave this Caframo fan a shot. Side by side there is no comparison with Hella…This Caframo fan is bigger, moves WAY more air, practically silent, easier to clean and the installation was a lot nicer because the wires go through the base instead of being attached to the fan. I just ordered a second one and will slowly replace all my Hella fans with these….totally…no comparison.

The Sirocco II fan has fantastic airflow and provides good white noise. The omnidirectional feature is useful. I did have to make modifications to mount it as desired, which required a screwdriver with star bits and fine side cutters. The plastic feels a bit cheap, but it's sturdy. The fan could use a better guard system over the blades. Overall, it's a good fan, but be prepared for some DIY if you need to adjust the mounting.

Bought for my boat. This fan is bigger than it appears. The base is also large and kind of limits points of mounting. It has several mounting options so you have to think installation through. The pictures did not do installation justice. There are 3 axis of movement on this fan. The base is fixed and the primary axis pivots off the base and only allows the entire fan gimble assemble to pivot through 180'. On a clock this would be 3-6-9 and the primary axis will lock into these positions. To aim the fan there is a gimbal held by the primary axis. Once aimed fan position is held in place by friction in the gimbal pivot points. Very clean looking and well made with decent access for blade cleaning. It moves lots of air but I found the speed controller a little difficult to operate by touch alone while fumbling around in the dark. All in all a value.

Okay, it is more expensive but thank God it is made in the Americas (Canada). I wish Amazon listed on all items county of origin. This product is well engineered and very quite. It even has a timer built in. I'm using it in a 24V environment and I'm probably going to get a second one. Improvements - a remote control. This is not an oscillating fan and I prefer this. Lastly, the current draw is VERY impressive, a true energy miser.

Bought one for the campervan in 2022 and it started out great. Pushed decent air and did so quietly. By the same time the next year it became intermittently noisy. It sounded like the fan blade was hitting the cage but inconsistently. Naturally, I checked it over and cleaned it, but the blades were clear and it the noise was getting steadily worse. It took just over a year for this thing to be unusable. Occasionally I’d run it while I wasn’t trying to sleep until about two years in and it finally died. For a product at this price point I was way better off buying clip-on USB fans for $10 and a 12V USB port, which is what I did. They’ve run smoother and longer than this did for 1/10 the price. Don’t be me. Point your money elsewhere.

I have used the fan now for about a week and have absolutely no regrets of purchase. A very versatile fan that does what it advertises. Great 360 degree purpose according to how its mounted. I purchased for my living quarters horse trailer and is fabulous for small to medium spaces if you do off grid (boondocking) horse riding or living. I manage electrical closely and this item is barely noticeable on current draw. The only drawback was the price which is represented in my 4 star value review but I have found the product worth its cost. The manufacturer has engineered a great product. Well 10 days out of warranty it failed! It's a great fan but I expect much longer for 100 bucks. Bought it in June 23 it ran it for about 6 months at about 8 hours a night until winter then again the next year from about March until July 7 and it failed. I will say I did order another maybe I am gulting for punishment.
