Rotorvent Turbolite Revolving Chimney Cowl

Had a few of these for installation - great product and easy to fit.

Well built, easy to install and draws like a dream.

The main reason to purchase was to stop rain water enteringThis was to replace a larger and cheaper version purchased two years ago. The original, whistled, bearings seals melted, pop rivited slats fell off. After doing a few repairs and modifications. Bearings failed, stop rotating and riveted slats started to fall off. Decided to purchase this one and waited to review. It's silent, spins easily in slightest breeze. Easily installed as fitted on pot top flat surface. Used the additional drop down attachments. After strong winds it is still there, Happy spinning not effected by heat from my large woodburner. Maybe take it down, clean and spray with high heat resistant black spray and cut the excess of the fixing screwed rods. Robustly made, worth the money. Recommended buy.

Excellent product. Has stopped all downdrafts down my chimney and has noticeably helped updraft for my burner. Really glad I bought one, should have done it sooner. Read instructions carefully but installation relatively straightforward, do not overtighten bolts and screws but make sure they are secure - the cowl spins even in the lightest breeze.

The joys of a bungalow are all very well but a short chimney on a cold windless day is nothing short of a menace to asthmatics when you are trying to light the wood burner. This moderate device makes one bask in the joys of an accomplished engineering mind. Note to self. I do not have such a mind. Which is why I bought this chimney cowl. Easy to fit especially with two on the roof. Picks up the merest drift of wind and off you go. Beware. It is sharp so don't try and stop it with gloveless hands when it has picked up speed. You may lose digits. It is not the cheapest option but it is well made and I am much happier without all and sundry wheezing like a bag of grampus when a cold day requires a roaring fire.

A very good quality item which fits and works well, but took a while to get here? Should last for many years to come?

Works well same about the fitting

Definitely pulls smoke up from our open fire (probably too much!) Great package, sturdy strong product. Only downfall is it seems to create a bit of noise when its fully spinning, unsure if it has come slightly loose but we can hear it through our old bedroom fireplace that has been covered.
