In a perfect world we would not need these, but many people's attics are not vented properly for various reasons.

YMMV - IN STORE ONLY PRICE - FULL PRICE ONLINE
I went into Home Depot today to relieve myself, the bathroom being in the roofing section. When I come out, I see the bright yellow tag on the shelf across from the. Naturally, I had to check to see what it was. It was a smart attic fan! I happened to need two attic fans, and low and behold two were there! Marked down from $156, it was fate for this beautiful piece of machinery and myself. that being said, it appears there are sprinkles of these gems all around the country. Happy hunting.

Heat rises, the attic is the top point of the house, and the suns rays radiate through the roofing system. All which turns the attic into an oven that is often 30+ over outside ambient. Yes, I understand that it will pull an intake of air to circulate as result, which is a basic function of a roofing system anyway. If the soffits, ridge vents, etc did a good enough job, you wouldn't need anything like this to begin with.
In all the attics I go in for work, I never see any issue with an attic fan being responsible for distributing outdoor pollen, etc. What I do see is that they can lower attic temps 10,15, 20 degrees which is great for attic air handlers and the actual roofing system. This is all east coast with pollen seasons.
Even with proper soffit, ridge ventilation and insulation, the summer sun is going to bake the roof and these really help exhaust the heat.
I also like that the fan posted here has a grill - mine is open, and while it's unlikely that anyone would be near it in our unfinished attic, it's basically unprotected and at best would scare the crap out of anyone if it kicked on while near it, and at worst injure somebody. I ended up putting a switch on my fan so power can be cut to it if working on or near it.
