The instructions are unclear. It says the vent locks into the closed position which it does not or the instructions are insufficiently clear to allow me to do that without worrying about breaking the hard plastic which could be brittle. The centre button on the 300s does not work like the on off button which the instructions say it should, ie it does not go in and stay down then come up again when pressed again.

Exactly as described by F4. Easy to fit and operate, effective at its intended job of improving ventilation. I fitted two of these about eight years ago. One is still going strong, the second stopped working, which is why I have purchased the one now being reviewed.

It looks good,was easy to fit but it does not work.Occasionally it will work but is mainly inactive. When working it made little noise,which was good. We were probably unlucky with this item

The first one I received was badly manufactured with the circular solar panel not being central in the "window". It was quickly replaced. I have had these in the past and they work well.
