iLiving 18" Outdoor Oscillating High Velocity Wall Fan with 4150 CFM Heavy Duty Weatherproof Motor, Variable Speed Adjustment for Workshop, Garage, Patios, Commercial and industrial, 18 inch,Black

Great fans. I have had the 14" model for several years. I am moving it to the rear ramp area where my and dogs beds areI got the 18" model to put in the original location of the old fan at the front of my dual-ramp enclosed snowmobile trailer turned RV/Tiny-Home.I mounted it so it can blow air into and through the trailer from the front. I mounted it so it can rotate 180° to suck air out through the front of the trailer too as that is where my wood burning stove is or if the wind direction is different.This 18" iLiving fan moves at least over double the air of the my old 14" model.The iLiving fans are great because they are essentially waterproof. The only complaint I have is that the screws that hold the clamshell grill covers together are extremely tiny and insufficient, so I replaced them with some bigger and more stout ones (see photos).

When I put in my new grill gazebo I did not realize that its aluminum roof would gather heat during the day, making the inside pretty warm. I started researching outdoor fans and the iLiving was the best I found, either at the big box improvement stores, or online. This fan is terrific. I got the 14" and all three speeds are useful. The strongest is such a strong blast I normally use the middle setting. It comes with a long pull chain that is easily snipped to the size that works best for you. Let me answer some questions you may have:How long is the power cord?Six feet so you may need an extension like I did. For the best match, be sure you get a three plug round black cable in typical 14 gauge. I really like the inexpensive one from Woods also available on Amazon. It's a perfect match. Be sure you get an extension cord for outdoor use.What hardware is included? / How to attach the fan?There are two holes on the steel bracket that comes attached to the back of the fan. It's easy to install. I bought some nuts and bolts on my own that best fit the metal frame I was attaching it to. One hole is larger than the other so two different sizes are needed. Two healthy sized wood screws are included but I needed a nut and bolt for my use attaching to metal.Does it swivel?Yes, you decide if you prefer side to side or front to back. Because I needed to orient the included bracket horizontally, it swivels front to back for my use, or perpendicular to the bracket. (See my picture with fan attached to gazebo side.) if you need it to swivel in all directions, depending on your available space for hardware, you will need to pick up an additional bracket such as an L bracket.Is it noisy?Just the sound of the wind it makes! Really well built, solid and no rattles.Can it work on a timer?Absolutely! That's how I use mine, plugged into a pool/spa type of timer that lets you choice hours you wish it to be running. It also works fine with newer smart timers that work of phone APPs, etc.

Really nice quality fan, and especially the motor housing. I've had this fan for 2.5 years, rain, freezing cold, and it has no issues at all. It's also relatively quiet on the low setting. Highly recommend.Also, the customer service is great. Small issue with a part and they helped me.

This fan is amazing. It really moves the air. It has 3 speed selections. It is loud like a large shop fan but I like that. Very easy to assemble. Aslo, although it can be hung buy a single person it would be easier if you hand a second pair of hands if you are hanging it overhead.

Hefty, powerful fan for outdoor applications. I can feel it from over 20 feet away. Seemed to be the only reasonably-priced unit that I could find that was actually intended for fully outdoor use (not just on a covered porch or something, like more decorative/expensive units, i.e. “damp-rated”). I’d like oscillation, but wouldn’t find it at this price, nor would I have had as much freedom with mounting options.Pros:-Strong airflow, even at its lowest setting-Hefty construction-Weatherproof (so far…about a month)-Mounting configuration allowed for flexibility in setup that gave me several options for deploymentCons:-Strong airflow, even at its lowest setting; wouldn’t mind a lower setting-Supplied hardware was a little lacking in variety, but I was figuring I’d be supplying my own tailored for my custom application anyway-Fan speeds go from lowest-to-highest, instead of highest-to-lowest as in every other fan I have ever experienced…not really a strong “con,” but notably odd-Angle of adjustment is limited by tabs that occasionally prohibit movement to what I would consider an ideal position, but that could be down to how I have it mounted (hanging down from a pergola instead of wall-mounted)-A bit loud; if casual conversation around the unit is more important to you than staying cool, you might want to consider something differentBottom line, while there seems to be more cons than pros here, the cons have been minor, and I would recommend this for anyone looking for a fan that would be exposed to the elements, provided they don’t need oscillation as a feature and noise level is less of a concern.
