Click the big "buy now" button on their front page ;)

12" is $309
16" is $344
20" is $435
24" is $608
28" is $797

Remember, these are US made and probably "industrial grade".
They are meant to be used on greenhouses and real buildings long term.
They move a lot of air compared to all the light duty 12v fans (pretty
much all of them out there).

At 12vdc the 16" snap fan pushes 980 CFM using only .98 amp. Very
nice.
I think the 16" is the "sweet spot" model.
It beats the Endless Breeze hands down.

A single large Snap Fan could be used to vent my hexagon greenhouse at
the peak.

Imagine 5 or 6 floor level vents, equipped with exact flow rate
trickle pads.
Single water pump hooked to container reservoir, small water
distribution hoses to all pads.
Single Snap Fan exhaust in the peak blowing out.
Just like the greenhouse systems with the cardboard trickle pad walls.
Exhaust fan runs between specific temps, when temps fall, the trickle
pad pump slows or shuts off.
The fan keeps running to evaporate water from the pads, then slows.
No wasted water overflow. No wasted power.
Temps climb, fan speeds back up to full...trickle pump resumes.

A very simple PLC and temp sensors could control all of this.

It's a power modulating swamp cooler system.
