Frost King Exhaust Fan Cover, 10-1/4" Diameter For 8" Fan

I use these to cover my exhaust fan in my kitchen for those cold windy days. This minimizes the draft coming in the kitchen. Not that durable but the pice is reasonable for the quality. The magnetic strips sometimes don’t hold up well but they provide extra for you which is a plus.

As you can see in photos there is a gap and I actually had to put scotch tape on to hold flat. This is most inconvenient as It is my kitchen exhaust & I cook all the time. This after having to glue the magnets on the back. UGH cheap junk.I have bought this item a number of time over the years (used to be from Thermwell) and from Frost King.My goodness how cheap, thin and warped this product had become. Useless magnets which, while you get two extras, fall off immediately. You actually have to take the time to glue them on. They are also smaller and thinner than they used to be. When you finally do this & try to put it up it is so warped it does not fit properly as some of the round edges don't lay flat.I did not read the reviews as I did buy this item years ago from them right here on Amazon and was very happy with it. Read the reviews...some reviewers who have 8" kitchen fans have some great advice regarding these fans.

Like other reviewers, this is SUPER thin plastic. A disposable plate is thicker. Very flimsy, inferior magnets & magnet adhesive. But its the only thing on the market. It fits perfectly. The price is what it is. Mine showed up with 2 of the four tabs bent in. 1 magnet had fallen off. The whole thing was rather misshapen. A little bit of finesse, I reshaped it and added some cheap foam weather stripping inside the circular part as the magets needed to attach it to the plastic housing on the fan creates a gap. I formerly used plastic & tape to block out the draft. So, considering that, this is a 100% cosmetic and functional upgrade. Unsure how well it'll last if it is taken down and put back on frequently as it is so very flimsy! But it is literally the only fix I could locate for the draft with this wall fan. I've tried replacing the draft door spring. Insulating the exterior housing. Strong sub zero winds on this side of the house were going to win. This is an exhaust fan in the bathroom of a 100+ yr old house.So far, the cover is doing what it was intended to do (with my enhancements).

This does the job as long as you understand you will need to apply more adhesion. The magnets are not strong but you can easily use command strips to lock into place. Would recommend to anyone who has these fans to keep cool and warm air in the house!

For the price, I can't complain. This item is very flimsy and does not come with any means to secure it to the fan opening. That said, I tried putting tape on each corner that of course eventually came loose. I ended up hot gluing four magnets purchased from Home Depot to each area of contact. That does secure the cover well to the metal fan housing.Enter issue number two. Even with the magnets holding the cover in place it still does not block the incoming air from the fan vents. These covers have a void in the back that allows for air to enter the kitchen area. I bought some batting from a fabric store. I cut it to fit the opening and built the padding up enough to cause compression when the cover is attached. Fits like a glove and keeps the air out.I'm pretty good at figuring these things out. there are other customers that purchase items like this and can find themselves at a loss about how to adapt the item to make it work. It would be nice for the manufacturer to include either the material or suggestions to assist the purchaser on how to attain a good seal.Personally, I would buy the item again if necessary. This is because it does do the intended job when modified. On a side note the items necessary to modify it did not break the bank.

It fit and I had to make it work. It could be designed better. I needed to add weather stripping around it to stop a draft. The magnets could be stronger. The plastic could be insulated and thicker (it is about the same thickness as a disposable plate).

Very strong magnetism!!

Does not fit over the fan opening correctly so no closure against drafts. Magnets do not stick.Concept is to have the draft stop and be able to easily remove and replace when fan is used. Concept good; execution very bad.As a start, just does not fit over the fan housing/frame. Need to increase the outer flange surfaces and buy and fasten appropriate, stronger magnets or bonding tape to fasten to existing fan's metal outer frame. Multiple layers of concentric cardboard cutouts will shape the cover to fit properly. And a handle glued to the outside (yeah, ugly) means ease of use (removal and replacement) is now a feature, not a silly scrabble to free the thing from wall or ceiling. Shame that the company CEO isn't forced to use this thing, it might get improved or discontinued.
