6” Duct Fans Reviewed
By now you’re probably wondering which 6 inch inline duct fan should you go for. There are lots to choose from on, and I have picked the best ones to review.
Our #1 Choice
AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S6, Quiet 6” Inline Duct Fan with Speed Controller
If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line product, then this has to be your number one choice.
This American-made fan is super-quiet is energy-efficient, and comes with all of the mounting gear you will need for easy setup.
Its speed and temperature controls also give you greater control over your growing environment.
With an airflow of 351 CFM, it should work for most grow tents, so should accommodate most setups.
The only drawback is the price, as it is a little more expensive than some inline duct fans. However, because it is energy-efficient, you should find it cost-effective.
Best Price-Quality Fan
VIVOSUN 6 Inch 390 CFM Inline Duct Fan with Variable Speed Controller
Vivosun are well-known for their excellent products, and this one offers excellent value for money.
It is well-designed for the most part, although the weak blades have been a problem for some.
The motors are fast and capable of ventilating your grow room in no time.
The 390 CFM means to it can accommodate a range of grow tent sizes too.
The only drawbacks are the blades, although malfunctioning devices seem to be in the minority.
Most Versatile Inline Fan
Panasonic FV-30NFL1 WhisperLine 340 CFM
The Panasonic WhisperLine has been designed for multi-task ventilation. So, not only can you use it for your grow tent, but it can easily be adapted for different type of grow rooms too.
It can be installed in five different positions and comes with a truss and installation brackets to simplify the setup process.
With its 340 CFM, this should be suitable for most cannabis growers.
The main drawback is the price although it has been made with durability in mind.
Some have complained the electrical hookup box is fiddly to set up, but this only seems to be the case when installing it within tighter grow spaces.
Best Performance Fan
Hydrofarm ACDF6 Active Air 400 CFM
This active air inline fan from Hydrofarm is more than adequate for use as an exhaust fan. Moreover, because it’s made by Hydrofarm, you know that it’s designed and built with the needs of growers in mind.
This unit comes equipped with everything you need to mount and the ceramic coated green housing has two sturdy brackets in either side for hassle-free fixing.
And the 400 CFM output should be perfectly adequate to meet the needs of even large grow tents. However, those wanting to reduce fan speed will need to invest in a separate control unit.
While there are others on this list that offer similar performance for a slightly lower price, this unit is reassuringly robust, sturdy and well built from UI recognized components.
Best Cheaper Inline Fan
VIVOSUN 6 Inch 440 CFM ETL Certified
If you’re just getting started and need a cheap inline duct fan, then this might be right up your street.
Its low price point is certainly very attractive, and with a 440 CFM capacity, it is very powerful. Of course, with all of the air it blows around, this isn’t the quietest model on the market.
You will often get that with a higher CFM, although many models get around this in the manufacturing process. Still, you can buy a separate noise reducer if the sound of the model bothers you.
Drawbacks include the scraping noises mentioned in our other Vivosun review and a slightly fiddly installation process. Still, you get what you pay for, although this is one of the better cheaper models on the market.
Final Thoughts
You certainly have a lot to choose from (and a lot more if you search). However, we think the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S6 or the VIVOSUN 390 CFM will do the job for most people.
