Tools and Hardware Reviews of Stanley High-Velocity Blower Fan, 655702
Customer Review: Surprize: Quiet, Powerful, and Useful
Summary: 5 Stars
As a smoker living in a basement apartment, I have ceiling level windows. I just burned out my 3rd 20" box fan in ten years mostly because I like fresh air and leave the fan(s) run 24/7. This little gem is powerful enough to exhaust a 14' X 24' living room during a small party with several smokers......and does so without drowning out conversation. On the low setting, it is pleasant white noise suitable for a bedroom window. As has been pointed out it's not a personal comfort fan to sit in front of, but does a whopping job of directing airflow onto a specific area, or for mounting in a small window to exhaust cooking fumes or smoke. I drove a small diameter screw thru one of the legs mounting it to a short piece of 1 X 10 shelfboard which is permenantly mounted to the window frame in such a way that the window can close if necessary during storms. I can easily remove the one screw which secures it if it needs to be used elsewhere (e.g. to dry shampooed carpet). I don't expect to ever need the built in duplex outlet but it's nice to know it's there....and conveniently located on the fan housing. A very good, very useful product worth the money. (I wouldn't worry about the overall construction being nylon/plastic unless you're in the habit of dropping things down the stairs.)Customer Review: This is a great fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in a while a product comes out and I am simply amazed at how useful it is. I used this fan recently and I can say that this is a great design that is well constructed. Though using this as a room fan works fine (there are three speed settings that allow you to adjust the airflow - the highest speed moves A LOT of air), what makes this fan truly shine is its directional capabilities. The stream of air being pushed by this fan is pretty narrow (focusing the air movement just where you want it) and the up/down swiveling nature of the base means that this thing can be pointed at the exact spot where air is needed (like a wet spot on the carpeting, or your back as you stand at your workbench on a steamy summer evening). The grounded outlets are simply icing on the cake.
I have seen this fan for significantly less at other stores (Menard's), so shop around. Otherwise, I recommend this as a well designed, quality product!
Customer Review: Best fan ever experienced
Summary: 5 Stars
I came here to get a link for a friend, as I've been recommending this fan to everyone here in Southern CA. Its the best fan I've ever experienced, without question. I have a fantastic $100 fan with mister... it'll never be used again. This little demon of a fan will have your teeth chattering. There's no dead spot in the center due to rotating blades like most. It has a focused blast of very powerful (can set down to gentle, of course) cool air that feels 3-5x cooler than other fans' output. It is one of the best purchases I've ever made, and far far quieter than blade-fans. I would put the noise on par with the tower fans available. This sub-$50 fan will save you hundreds on your electricity bill (CA particularly). This is maybe my second ever review... I don't recommend many products at all. This is top of the list. Summary: bucket of awesome.Customer Review: I'm a fan of these fans...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've own one of these things for a couple of years now, and during the summer months it pretty much stays turned on all the time. So far it still working great.
These high velocity squirrel cage blower fans put out a lot of air and while they do make some noise, I think that it's less than what a traditional blade type fan capable of similar air flow makes. The unit is pretty heavy duty and come with a built in power receptacle with a resettable circuit breaker.
Haven't seen them in Wal-Mart for awhile and when I have, they were here today and gone the next. So when I saw them in the store last week, I immediately grabbed two of them and dumped them in my cart.
Customer Review: What a great little air mover.
Summary: 5 Stars
Just purchased our second Stanley High Velocity Blower and it's every bit as effective as the other one I've happily been using for several years. These really are very nicely designed and built using quality plastics, with a long & robust power cord, handy power outlets and carrying handle. Very quiet for the amount of air they move. Quiet enough to use in the house. In fact, I bought the second one to keep in the garage, as our other one has been in use upstairs (indoors) for a long while now.
It's not often that such a simple thing impresses enough to warrant a review, but Stanley has a real winner here and I feel they deserve the kudos. You'll be very happy you bought this.
