Living in an older home with no central air conditioning, heavy duty fans are a must have during summer. Our previous industrial fan purchased from Lowes was starting to make a horrendous screeching noise so instead of doing what I really wanted, which was to take that MF outside and shoot it, I bought this fan since it’s heavy duty and it oscillates. It was also 50 percent off at the time of purchase so that was a bonus!I can honestly say this fan surprised me with how much air it moves per second, most likely you will not need to turn it on anything past speed 1 because of how powerfulIt is. The noise level honestly is pretty standard in my opinion for the type of fan it is, so I have no buyers remorse and I just purchased two more for other parts of my home.If you are in need of a new fan, do yourself a favor and put this one on the short list, I doubt you will regret it.

Liked the construction of the fan and it's ability to provide great circulation. This fan was what the doctor s ordered for air circulation on my front porch as it really helps cool down the area. As others have noted it is loud and would be uncomfortable in a confined area.

Highly recommend this fan. We ordered 2 fans for an outdoor birthday party while the heat in Miami surpassed 100 degrees and these were not only easy to put together but powerful even on the first setting. I’m not sure lifespan outdoors after a certain amount of time but so far so good. I got fan covers to further protect it from outdoor weather (although it will be stored when not in use) to protect it from getting ugly etc. I’ll update my review in a few months but so far I highly recommend it for outdoor use.

This thing is extremely loud and moves a lot of air. I bought it to keep me cool at night. I should say COLD. I do not like to sweat while trying to sleep and it definitely wont with this thing. This is obviously meant for an industrial environment.

Shipping box had a few dings and dents but the fan arrived in good condition. Assembly was easy and pretty much self explanatory. Motor seems to run a little hot to the touch but I have been running it basically 24/7 for a couple of weeks now with no problem. The blades seem just a bit out of balance and maybe one day I might try adding little pieces of duck tape to the end of the blades a little at a time to see if I can't reduce the shaking just a bit. The only other thing I can find fault in is if you want to stop the fan from oscillating you have to disconnect the linkage with a screwdriver which is not all that convenient. This fan pushes a lot of air and I can feel the breeze at about 25 to 30 feet away.

The fan head itself is great, it moves a ton of air which is exactly what I needed. The rest of the fan though, garbage. The rod that connects to the base and supports the fan head on mine is already broken. Took exactly less than 12 hours for it to break. The screw hole on the bottom that you connect to the base with is maybe a 1mm thick. I picked up the fan to move it and that hole stripped right out. I tossed the box, so its not worth dealing with returning it. But right now I have the fan propped against a wall until I can ghetto rig the thing back together with a nutsert or something.Overall though, I would say avoid this fan. The super thin threaded screw hole is a ticking time bomb for everyone.

I like the fact that this fan "moves some air". Its Lowest speed is usually sufficient, even though it has a medium and high also. Made pretty sturdy, although it does contain plastic parts at key locations...we will see how these hold up over time. It would be nice if it tilted up and down, but unfortunately, it doesn't. Also, not real quiet. Overall, it fits my needs, though.

Five stars for the breeze. One start for how loud it is. I have to turn my TV all the way up and I still hear my TV very low. The fan setting is on the lowest btw. I knew this was a possibility when I ordered it, but jeez. Great breeze though and I have to sleep with the blankets on, which I like.
