BILT HARD 20" High Velocity Floor Fan, 4600 CFM 3-Speed Industrial Shop Fan with Wall-Mounting System, Heavy Duty Metal Fan for Workshop, Garage and Warehouse

I did forget to mention a couple of important things: The power plug actually has a fuse built into it, adding another layer of protection into the unit. It's already a UL Listed properly grounded cord.ALSO, the fan motor DOES NOT get hot, we run the fan day and night, the motor stays luke warm to the touch. Hope these bits of info help youFinally! A high speed fan with a proper cord. The other fans have a thin, two pronged electrical cord. This does not. It's a three prong, super thick, properly rated for its output. THANK YOU! I feel safe running this fan. Just because the cord is grounded and is a super thick, UL rated cord. I can't tell you how many other electronic devices I've bought that had an improper cord, that got hot while running the device. Like a spaghetti noodle cord. And this was a very affordable fan as well, sub $100.SO EASY to set up, it took me less than 30 seconds to plug two tube ends into each other, and tighten the two wheels on the side of the fan. Works perfectly, arrived perfectly, it's got huge airflow, this is not one of those box fans!! To put it into perspective, a LASKO WindMachine fan is about 1200 cfm, which is pretty good, and this fan can output 4,600 cfm. So it's not even close to a regular fan. Keep that in mind, it may be overkill for a small house, and knock stuff over, blow papers around, etc.Quiet for a fan of its stature, all metal no plastic except for little things that don't need to be metal.Yeah I love it, we put it in front of the A/C and cool the whole house, one level.5/5 product, this is a good buy

I'm essentially a polar bear; lots a flubber and I love fridgid temps. My perfect sleep ambient temp is at or below 60. So as a renter in an apartment with no central AC, an old landlady that only turns the heat off June, July, and August, and a written rule in my lease that prohibits window AC units, I consider myself a fan afficinado. I'm also cheap. For the last week, I've been waking up covered in sweat. So, I decide it's time to pick up a box fan because my current one is nearing the end of its life. It had a good run, got about two years out of it but it's just not pushing air like it used to. No big. It was 20 bucks. I'm making more now. Maybe I'll buy two.To my digusted HORROR, they've nearly doubled in price. Lasko box fans $40?! I left walmart clutching my pearls. Head to amazon because I know that there's gotta be a $20 Basics box fan, right? RIGHT?? NOPE. $30 dollars. At this point, I'm livid. I work in a shop and am familiar with heavy-duty fans. Summer work in a shop is a sweaty business. I find this fan and it looks a lot like the one we have in our shop to sit on the floor and blow at our legs. Double that with a standing fan and you got yourself a wind tunnel that also works to keep bugs away from you when that one coworker insists on having the bay doors open "for the breeze" that doesn't exist. I digress.I do the math. I know what to expect as far as velocity with a fan like this, so couple that with the fact that I'm just spiteful at this point, I could justify the extra $10-$20. So I buy it.Putting it together was slightly aggrivating. It comes in two pieces, the fan and the little support bar to let it sit on the floor or whatever. I snap that piece into place and go to remove the plastic only to find they've put the plastic on and then screwed in the rubber nubs, essentially screwing the plastic onto the bar. I could've just ripped the plastic off but I'm not a savage animal, so I removed the nubs and then took off the plastic, replaced the nubs. Annoying but not a deal breaker. I did knock off one star on assembly for that because why.Sturdiness, well the metal supports are hollow, and I feel like if I wanted to bend them, I probably could, if not altogether snap them in half. So I knocked a star off for that. But the whole thing is made of metal and me likey.Noise. Any fan user knows that the noise level raises with velocity; if you want a quiet fan, you're going to suffer on air flow. If you want air flow, you're gonna have to deal with noise. I would akin this fan's lowest setting to being as loud as a standard box fan on high if not *slightly* louder. I'm half deaf in one ear so take that with a grain of salt.As far as air flow/velocity/blowing power, twenty stars out of ten, considering this is only slightly more expensive than a standing fan or box fan. This baby is WORKING and I'm pleased as punch. I have it blowing on me right now. It's moderately warm in my room, 75ish, and I'm pleasently chilly on medium setting.As a hot sleeper, take it from me, you need this fan. Spend the money. This thing is probably going to live a long time and end up saving money in the long run. I wonder if they make smaller varients I can put in a window, get a good hurricane effect going in my bedroom....that would be lovely.

I bought two fans and I am satisfied. One is used in a guest bedroom to bring in fresh cool air that is channeled to my master bedroom using other smaller fans. Works great - lots of powerful air flow. The other is used both in a big living room window at night, and on my deck during the late afternoon and evening. It works great to ward off mosquitos so I can enjoy my meal on the deck and in the evening even look at moon in the sky. The breeze is awesome in above 80 degree temperatures--makes all the difference. This fan is affordable and powerful. It's lightweight--it's not an industrial model that would cost over $150. Some reviewer complained that's it not heavy metal so it might get damaged? Is your 100 lb. toddler going to jump on it? Are you going to drop it by mistake from the 10th floor apartment window? Come on! It's just a little more than $50, but it has 4 or 5 times more power than a plastic fan. These type of fans make noise--that's the way it is. But, I sleep with a big ceiling fan that drowns out every kind of noise.
