Customer Review: Very Nice Fan at Great Value
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this fan for both personal and business use. I've had commercial-duty carpet drying fans in the past, but I wanted to see if I could find a fan that could come close to the performance without coming close to the price. This little fan has proven to be excellent! Though medium-to-small sized, this fan pushes a remarkable amount of air. Below are salient points discovered through use...
* Power - This fan moves a decent amount of air. It will very adequately ventilate a room 25' X 30', or larger spaces when placed on the high setting. I have found it ideal for ventilation when painting, and it has enough oomph for large spaces, so I don't have to keep moving it around. It also has worked very well for drying areas with wet paint, or drying CVT floor mastic, or for general house ventilation on hot days.
* Adjustability - The fan itself is a squirrel cage design, but it is not fixed in its frame. The main body rotates in the frame so the vent may be pointed up or down, depending on need. Though the same could be accomplished with a fixed frame and a couple of books or blocks of wood, I have found this feature to be very handy with regular use. The fan motor switch also has three settings, low, medium, and high.
* Noise - There really isn't very much of this at all- the fan is surprisingly quiet, even on high. It is quiet enough, in fact, to use inside at night in a hot house; it is not noisy enough to distract from quiet conversation or from music while I'm on a job site or working in my shop.
* Value - This is where the fan really shines. It's a great fan as it is, but it's simply awesome when considering the price. For the price of a commercial carpet drying fan, you could actually get more than a few of these.
* Quality - While I like the directional adjustment of the fan housing, it does add flex to the frame. It seems sturdy enough for what it is, but it remains to be seen how this will hold up over time. I could also see the frame not wanting to take a whole lot of abuse, like being dropped from time to time. Extra care should be used, therefore, if this will be used on a job site or commercial setting. The cord that comes with the unit is really heavy and quite long, which is nice. In fact, the cord really seems outsized for a fan this size, but that's fine by me as it will stand up to years of use and being stepped on now and then. While there is no dedicated cord-wrap on the unit, the cord does wind nicely around the unit, under the handle and just below the vent. My only nitpick here is that the cord end does not have a cord-capture notch, as many household vacuum cleaners do. No biggie though.
* Size - As mentioned, this is a small-to-medium sized fan but it moves air comparable to fans much larger. Its profile is much smaller than that of a box fan, while being much more efficient in the amount of air moved. It is also smaller than most commercial carpet dryers; while not as powerful as these, I find its size and weight makes it more useful for many applications. In fact, you could get two of these to place them at different points in a home, shop, or work site, and still be out only around a hundred bucks.
Other thoughts:
The fan has a duplex electrical outlet on the body below the speed switch to allow for other power accessories to be plugged in. Personally, I wouldn't use this for any but the lightest of electrical equipment not knowing how robust the internal wiring is. Nice idea in theory, but not useful for this user in practice. The frame comes with rubber feet at four corners, which add to stability. However, these only raise the frame about 1/16" from the ground. My preference would be more robust rubber feet, but this doesn't detract from my opinion of the fan. Fortunately, the feet are held on by screws, which can therefore be removed to make way for improved feet if you, like me, are so inclined.
All in all this is a great fan at a super value and it has earned a place in my home and workshop. I have been very happy with it and can give it a high recommendation!
