Customer Reviews for LOMANCO 12 in. Galvanized Steel Internally Braced Whirlybird Wind Turbine

Very smooth running. I was replacing only the turbine part so I bought the whole thing. My old one is about 20 years old. It was not spinning freely anymore. They have changed the way the turbine and the base attach. I thought that it might be a problem. Also, the new turbine is much lighter and its internal bracing is weaker. The bearings appear to be more sealed. Hopefully it is strong enough for years of service, Thankfully the turbine still attaches to the base with three screws spaced exactly the same. With a little bending of the old base (it had some crimps) and adjustments to the attachment sites of the turbine, I made it work. The metal of the turbine is quite thin so it is easy to bend into shape. I didn’t want to have to put a new base on the roof. Its very hard to line up the holes though. I had to go into the attic to see the holes line up. I lined them up and then went on the roof and put small nails into the holes so that nothing would shift as I screwed the turbine to the base. It worked great. I hope that it works for you.

Arrived in great shape easy to install great product!

Excellent for ventilation

much better looking then the old ones very nice fit and easy to install

It was really easy to install really helpful specially for the summer I like it

Installed 3 aluminum ones 15 years ago. All have been replaced twice. Last one I put on was galvanized steel about 6 years ago and seems to be working great. Last 2 flew apart and I'm going to add 2 more galvanized ones. Aluminum ones wear out by the bearings.

The Lomanco 12 in Whirlybird Wind Turbine is excellent and helping to cool the house. Thanks.

easy to install but I had to get a different elbow as the original was defective. because is is stainless it takes more wind to turn than my aluminum ones does. Over all it was a good buy and well made.

Works great. Using as bird eradicators on power poles. Seems to be working and are industrial enough to with stand lots of wind.

Very easy to install

Working great, pulls the heat out of our chicken coop, helps with fresh air.

It lasted 24 hours and main upper bracket holding the turbine cracked and was not able to repair. Sending it back to dealer at my expense cost more than what it was worth. Terrible product.

Perfect replacement for the 30 year old turbines that had given up the ghost. Watch the install video for helpfull tips. Easy install.
