CellarPro 1800 Duct KIT (Hot Side) with Inline Fan Factory Installed #1439

I bought the ducting kit with my 1800XTS. It fit and was assembled rather easily. To me the instructions were fairly clear, and everything fit together quite easily. I have been using it for a year, and it has not caused any troubles and the remote fan runs every time the cooling unit turns on. It appears to function well, as it frequently pushes hot air out, and I can definitely feel the suction on the intake. But... The remote fan on the ducting unit makes a LOT of noise! The XTS is the noisiest unit in the lineup I believe, and I have it behind just a pane of glass in the wine cellar. When I am standing inches away from the glass with the unit running, the noise of the remote fan, which is behind 2 walls about 12 feet away handily beats the noise of the cooling unit. I emailed customer support about it, while they were attentive to the situation, they did not offer much of an actionable solution. Not sure what they could do, other than send me a fan that makes less noise. I looked into other fans sold at home improvement stores and other online stores that are marketed as quiet or silent. I would advise anyone buying this fan and installing it within 10-15 feet of the habitation zone to actually plug it in and hear it before they permanently attach it. I am still thinking about swapping it out, but this will cause a lot of trouble in my particular situation as it is not very easy to access.

It works well. However, the installation instructions were not very useful. A couple of telephone calls to customer service did the trick
