Product works great. Put two of these on the roof about 15-20 years ago but they eventually wore out last year. Although they have a life time warranty I am happy with it's performance and bought two new ones. Great product.

The whirlybird was easy to install, just follow the instructions. I installed in about 45 minutes. It’s working as advertised as well, the slightest breeze and it’s spinning. I checked the attic after it rained and no water got in. The price is right and it’ll help keep the attic cool. Great item.

I have only had these turbines 3 weeks so its years too early to evaluate them. But my initial impression is that it appears to be a high quality product. My attic seems to be cooler and my AC doesnt come on as often and stays on for a shorter period of time. I bought these to lower the bills and extend the life of my hvac.

The install went well. It made a huge difference in my garage. The construction of the wind turbine is very good. I will probably install one on the roof of my house.

Delivered on time as projected. Relatively easy to install. I used the template provided to find the pitch of the roof. Using this pitch made it essentially impossible to level. I tried a different pitch, and then found leveling to be easy. The two I installed seem to be working well.

Thin metal
My roofer installed these with new roof. So far three have been torn off by the wind and rain storms. The duct metal the turbine connects to is too thin resulting in the sheet metal screws it is attached with are being ripped out. Turbine is good product otherwise I would suggest gluing them on as well as using the sheet metal screws if you live in strong storm areas. To the manufacturer,: if you have to raise prices then do so but don't cheapen the product as well.

    Great Turbine. Great price. Installed two of them and I could defiantly noticed the difference in attic/house temp, as soon as I put in the last bolt to secure it in place the turbines they have not stopped even with low winds. My neighbor also noticed the difference between the ones he had installed on his roof and its clear to see that ones I purchased are spinning way faster and keep going while his stop at low or med wind speeds.

      This was the same as the one being replaced so removing the three screws and replacing the turbine only was very easy. I did not have to disturb the shingles at all.

      The turbines were great but the instructions cost me. You need pictures showing how to level the base, install the locking clamps and set the pitch better. My Hispanic roofers bent my turbine braces thinking they were leveling the turbines. The shaft is now in a bind and won't turn as well as it should. You get what you pay for.

      Excellent product. Fairly easy to install. Seem to be well built. I like the lifetime warranty. I live in Florida. My attic is 2000 sq feet and it has a full-length 1-inch tall ridge vent at the top. Even with the ridge vent and 360 degrees of 18 inch gable vents at the bottom the Temps in my attic ran 165 to 180 degrees on a 90 degree day. I installed 4 Turbines. Now the temperature in my attic runs between 110 and 125 on 90-degree day depending on the amount of wind. We will have to see what it does for the electric bill but I know it will make a large difference. Definitely recommend these turbines.
