QuietCool AFG SLR-40 Solar Gable Fan
#2 in Gable mountFull review
The best documented gable fan here, for an attic with a gable vent big enough to let its air out. Its long warranty and included adapter justify the price.

Natural Light SAF35 Low Profile Fan
#10 in Roof mountFull review
For a south or west facing roof where looks matter and the owner wants a lifetime warranty. On a roof that faces away from the sun, a tilting panel does better.
