Hmmmm. Quite a big diameter, but claims to generate 3 or 4 times the power of a Rutland 914. I wonder.

The website looks a bit dodgy too. Spelling mistakes or typos, duplicated information, some slightly odd English. Doesn't fill me with confidence.

Avoid, avoid, avoid like the plague. Had two fitted on a motorsailer, one failed in 30kts and came crashing down to deck. Contacted Istabreeze Germany (Turkey) as their Irish distributor was no longer part of the company; they sent me two new wind gens. Great I thought.

Fitted both - neither worked. They never produced ANY power in the entire time I had them. Now have a Rutland 914 fitted. Sure, it doesn't produce Air Breeze / Air X power, but it produces a lot more power than the Istabreeze.

Again, avoid like the plague.
