Re: Batts vs Blown-
My dad and I used the AttiCat system for my garage about a month ago and it was absolutely painless. My 4.5 car garage is about 1,000 sq ft and we used 20 bags in about 2 hours. He stayed in the garage feeding the machine and I was up in the attic. Total cost was about $600 for the entire ceiling and the temperature difference is amazing. I insulated the walls last year and that made very little difference to the overall temperature in the garage, but we've had some 20-30 degree nights lately and the garage is staying in the mid-upper 60's.
Great investment!!
Last fall I use this:

it claims it does not settle. I can't say. Have not been up there since I blown it in.
As far as claiming 4hr from start to finish, my experience was this:
My son and me started, after the second bag threw the machine, I thought there is no way this can be done in four hours.(reviews I thought were BS) After the 5 or 6th bag, I learned to slow down and let the machine work, instead of trying to make the machine work faster.
We did 22 bags around the 4hrs.
I did blow in 15yrs agoand would not do it again untill I looked into this. Glad I did! The inventor of this machine is a smart person. Simple unit that works perfect! I have not seen something that works this good in a long time.
