Don't like anything attached to the core of an aluminum cross flow radiator
E-fans vibrate.
If the side slots are designed to allow more airflow through the radiator @ highway
speed to aid cooling the design is flawed. At idle the fan will circulate some engine
bay heat instead of pulling all air through the core. The slots need flappers they
will blow open @ highway speed & otherwise be sucked closed.
IMHO: A poorly designed niche market item.

I'd use it only if space were at an absolute minimum. The concept is interesting but you give up a large percentage of the cooling area of the radiator, plus I'm not sold on having the aluminum core support the fan and fan motor. Whatever happened to fan belts and mechanical fans?
