AC Infinity AIRPLATE P7, Quiet Cooling Cabinet Fan System with Power Outlets and USB Ports, Intelligent Thermal Triggering, for Home Theaters, Entertainment Centers, and AV Cabinets

Quiet Easy to use Simple product perfect to evacuate heat from my components I have a few products of different levels of function I use for heat control from this company. All have worked with no maintenance or issues. I am a fan...wink...

Wonderful product! The first thing you notice about this product is the professional care this company takes with shipping its products to you. It's Apple-level of thought in packaging here. Once you open the product the instructions are very easy to read and understand. The fan comes with a plastic template for use when you cut into your stand (or wherever it's going) which is much better than paper templates I've gotten with other types of products. The installation in my entertainment center was easy with the right tools. It hooks up to its own power supply and it's a nice bonus that the fan itself contains USB power outlets and plug-type outlets for other items to plug into and be powered by! Once installed the adjustable fan speed makes the noise level from a level of inaudible to somewhat audible in a quiet room. Once you have your sound system or TV going you won't hear the fan even on the highest setting. One thing to note about my particular installation. I installed this on the back of my entertainment center as a set-it-and-forget-it type of install. The only issue here is the speed and power controls are on the back of the fan unit and thus, hidden from my view on the back. This won't be an issue if you plan on installing the fan on the side of a unit or cabinet but I did take a picture of the back of the power unit for my own reference in case I ever have to reach behind the unit and change the settings. Once I dialed in the setting I wanted, however, I haven't had a need to adjust anything. As to the effectiveness of the fan? It's great! My AV receiver sits in the entertainment stand my wife picked out. I mentioned that because she picked out a beautiful piece of furniture for the stand but it has zero ventilation as a unit. Obviously an AV receiver generates a LOT of heat and cannot sit in a closed box without ventilation. This fan has perfectly performed and I can attest with the help of my laser thermometer that the inside of the closed box stays nice and cool at all times! I cannot recommend this unit to you more highly. In fact, I've gone on to purchase three more smaller fans from this same company (for use in the same entertainment stand for my PS5 that sits in a smaller section of the entertainment stand). They work perfectly as well. Very highly recommended!

it's been running quietly for over 2 years.

Purchased two of these to cool my Sonos amps hidden inside a media console in my living room. Overall impressed with the build quality and quiet operation. These units are doing exactly what I need. Installation took about 3 hours, as I wanted to avoid making a mistake with a new piece of furniture. The included plastic template is very helpful. The flange on the outside helps hide imperfections in your cutting. I used a jig saw but would recommend a mini rotary saw to get a perfectly square cut. I personally don’t need the power strip and USB ports, would have preferred an option to delete those features and have a lighter duty power cord that is easier to route in your cabinet.

For aesthetic reasons I like to have closed cabinets with my electronics and one side of my cabinet holds video game consoles. I had been using a cabinet fan that I purchased a decade ago. It was quite noisy and you had to switch it on and off manually. I decided to get this item because it is automatic with a thermostat you can set. I was really pleased because it is very quiet and hands-off. The USB ports are very helpful too. Looks well built so I"m expecting it to last for a very long time.
