-BillWe have several 24 volt DC circuits in our place and these fans barely use any power...something around 18 watts on high. On high they push a fair amount of air, but nowhere near a "blast". The manufacturer does highly recommend the use of the 12v/24v speed controller for controlling the speed. Without the speed controller you really only get one speed and no reverse, so it's totally worth it.
In terms of quality/cost...one fan plus one speed controller ran us about $320 total, plus shipping. We were NOT impressed with the quality of the product when it arrived and was first set up, as all three fans wobble slightly and/or make noise at certain speeds. We tried fan balancing kits, and various other remedies, and worked with Nextek over several months to solve the problem. However, the only thing that made a marginal improvement (still some wobble and some slight noise) was making sure the Vari-cyclone fans had four blades instead of three (they sell them in three and four bladed versions...same price). Nextek's support, however, was great and they did a good job supporting their product. So, mediocre product quality, but great customer service.
Hopefully this helps you out...
This has worked very well

At medium speed, they only draw about 8-9 watts and they move a lot of air. If you can find them at a reasonable price, I would suggest to buy'em.
