Good option if you have a room that doesn't get enough airflow. Wish I had this as a kid.
Community Reviews
This register booster fan is aimed at rooms that sit far from the furnace or AC and need help pulling more conditioned air through an existing vent. It is described as useful for long or undersized duct runs, end rooms, basements, attic spaces, and bedrooms over garages, with built in temperature sensing that can keep it running after the HVAC cycles off. The main caveats are noise on higher settings, visible power cords, and the fact that it cannot fix bad ductwork or create airflow that is not already there. A practical niche fix when the room is the weak link.

In most places I've lived, inexpensive housing is usually built on slab because it's the cheap option.
In 1 story homes with basements (and some multi-story) the HVAC is commonly in the basement so floor registers on the main level are common. I'd agree in this setup, you normally would see ceiling vents in the basement in conditioned spaces and those don't typically need extra boost from a product like this due to proximity to the source.
In multi-story / multi-zone / dual unit homes you'll see a bit of everything. 2 story with basement, you may very well have a unit in the basement = floor registers on level 1 and a 2nd unit in the attic space = ceiling registers on level 2 for example.
I paid a HVAC guy to reconfigure the supply duct to these room in the basement, but then the too-small ducting disappears into the walls for another 20-30 ft. The only thing that solved the issue was the AC Infnity vent booster for the upstairs room (4x10 sidewall register), and a duct booster blower (predates AC Infinity brand) in the basement for the downstairs room (feeds to a 4x10 ceiling vent with no power supply nearby).
This seems similar tot he AC Infinity vent booster, but half the price. My AC Infinity sips like 5 watts running, and even then only activates when it detects the hot or cold air when the HVAC is on.

Having said that, don't expect miracles. These things help, but they can't create airflow that isn't there. Also, they generate a bit of noise on higher settings. Kind of a white noise and not unpleasant, but just know that it's there.

The reconfiguration didn't really help much though. the duct booster ultimately did the trick.
Also my girlfriend has three of these in her house, and they have helped an awful lot with cooling down a super hot upstairs in the summertime for her west facing master bedroom. Getting ready to buy one more now for my other son's bedroom.
