The MaxxAir FanMate vent cover Item # MA00-955001 is going to be just a little taller but the louvred end tapers in and it does not come with the screen which is Item # MA00-955202. 25" long x 18-1/8" wide x 10-1/4" tall.

The MaxxAir II Item # MA76JR is a more lower profile design, and the louvred end is straight up and down. 22-1/16" long x 18-1/8" wide x 9-3/4" tall. This does not come with a bug screen, and unfortunately, there is not one designed for this vent cover.

Each is also available in black under Item # MA00-955002 and Item # MA86JR.

I’m trying to understand the significant difference in cost. Does the FanMate allow the vent cover to open more than the MaxAir II? Is it less likely for rain to come in? Can you tell me the measurement from the front Ezclip to the front of the cover? I have a tank vent close to my

@DarinK Usually price differences like that just has to do with what the manufacturer chooses to sell them at. The FanMate # MA00-955001 having more space does make it a little more universal though so that's a plus. I went out to the warehouse and found that both covers measure about 4" from the middle of the clip to the front of the cover so clearance-wise they will be the same.
