You realize these are installed to EXHAUST hot attic air? It's not sucking air from the outside into the attic.
Where do you think the hot air that it exhausts comes from? Outer space? In theory it should suck in cooler air from the eves/soffit (where it could pick up dust/pollen), but if those cannot supply the air needed for the fan, an even worse situation occurs where it sucks conditioned air from inside the house.

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

It's currently pollen season where I'm at. Looks like a dusting of yellow snow everywhere for several weeks. I imagine that would be EVERYWHERE in my attic if I used these right now
A smart man once told me to never eat the yellow snow…

Quote from Hat-Trick :
This seems to be VERY YMMV, which should be in the title or description. I doubt many will find this at their local Home Depot at this price.
I am OP, it looks like staff edited my great post. Here is the original (as seen below the current wording)




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.

I wonder if this could be used to soup up a microwave vent fan (placed on the far end of the vent).

I used an earlier version of this to make my own whole house fan. Works awesome.

Brickseek shows nothing in NorCal either...

The hot air it exhaust does come from outer space…. Thanks sun and law of thermodynamics.

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.

Very cool (no pun intended) that this includes a shroud. PO of our house had one installed across open studs at the gable vent - I'm pretty sure it was pretty ineffective at drawing air from the attic, and instead just recirculated air immediately surrounding the fan. When it came time to replace it, I ended up making my own shroud from a piece of 1/4" plywood. and traced the circular shape of the fan on to the plywood, and then jig sawed a fan cutout. The 1/4" plywood extended to the vertical and horizontal framing around the gable vent, and I ran some Tyvek tape around the perimeter of the fan where it was mounted to the plywood for some additional sealing. Not 100% airtight, but far more effective at exhausting air than the old fan was, but that's mostly a subjective judgement on my part bounce I have no hard evidence to back it up, but I swear it keeps our second floor bedrooms cooler during A/C season; our house is southern facing and gets full sun on the front portion of the roof all day.

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.

this is most likely a customer return or a defective item/pricing, no way they have a good fan at 80% off for no reason
