Advertised Vs. Real Performance

This is probably the most crucial page, showing how accurate the data provided by the manufacturers/brands on their products is. Since nobody so far could verify these numbers, it was an open field for every brand to declare whatever it wanted, but this stops now. I should also note that I strictly follow the specific guidelines (ISO7779: 2018) for taking noise measurements in information technology and telecommunications equipment.

In the table below, anything in Red means bad news, while the Blue fonts are good!

Performance Metric Advertised Performance Real Performance Difference
Max Speed (RPM) 2200 2160 -1.82%
Max Input Current (A) 0.46 0.42 -8.70%
Max Power (W) 5.5 5.04 -8.36%
Qmax (CFM) 118.01 116.95 -0.90%
Pmax (mmAq) 3.57 3.50 -1.96%
Max Noise Level (dBA) 44.56 45.1 +0.54 dBA
Both performance numbers, airflow, and static pressure are very close to the advertised values. The same also goes for noise output, which is dead close to what I measured. Kudos to EKWB for providing true performance data and not marketing numbers.
