Only fan I've ever requested be turned down a setting.
We are fan sleepers. Not casual fan sleepers. Not "I only 'fan' when I'm drinking" fan sleepers. We're "bring your fan when you go to visit your old roommate even though you made sure to leave a fan behind for when you visit" fan sleepers. At our height we each had a fan on our nightstands and a box fan on our dresser. It's like Hoarders if the hoarders limited their hoarding to just fans. Anyway, we bought this because our box fan was getting weak. Both physically and emotionally. Snort.
This fan. is. amazing. It's like sleeping in a wind tunnel! So much so that I had to ask the wifey to either pivot it more directly facing him or turn it down a notch. When he assembled it we giddily pointed it at all the various pendant lights to watch them sway in the airflow and then we took turns (read: pushed each other bodily out of the way) standing in front of it. Cuz we're awesome. The fan is larger than I imagined. Not bulky, just sort of like you took the scale tool in photoshop and...
No question, this is a GREAT fan.
This is a great fan. We had an old Lasko brand pedestal fan die on us after about 8 years of use, so we purchased this one to replace it. My wife and I are fan sleepers (like another reviewer), and this fan is perfect for this application. For us, it’s not just about the wind, but the constant ambient noise that accompanies it. Don’t get the impression that this fan is LOUD, because it isn’t. It is only a little bit louder than the average household pedestal fan.
This is labeled as an “industrial grade fan”, and by definition should produce a good amount of wind. This is a powerful high velocity fan that does just that (you won’t get a 3/4 HP motor on a household pedestal fan… 1/4 HP tops on most home use ones). Unlike another reviewer, I easily noticed the change in fan speed and airflow between settings. The all metal construction is solid and sturdy (even on the “high” setting), and at the same time reasonably...
Industrial Cooling
This fan works really well. It is able to adjust its position vertically, however there is no horizontal or oscillating option. At first I thought this would be a negative for me, however the sturdy construction and power of the fan more than makes up for it in my case and since I'm in a smaller area it isn't that much of a hassle to physically move the fan. It is quite a bit heavier than a standing fan you are going to find at walmart, but this IS an industrial fan and made to be sturdy.
I will say that the box look like hell when it arrived, beat to crap. Also the fan had some superficial damage to it, so I suspect I was actually sold a "used" item when the description stated it was "new". However, since the fan is meeting my needs and actual operation didn't seem to be adversely affected. Just make sure to inspect yours well when it arrives.
