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've purchased from Bilt Hard before, it was a 24 inch drum fan that performed well for what it is.Eventually I gave it away to a neighbor and decided to get a replacement for the fan I'd had before the drum fan, a lasko 20 inch metal fan, and wanted to be sure it could match the power and maybe sound I remember from the lasko.At first I tried to get the same or a similar model from lasko at home depot but the image advertised did not match the model number and little did I know I'd got a weaker powered model.I returned it and remembered browsing high cfm fans and had to note the difference between cfm and velocity as this kind of fan is meant to blow hard in a shorter space rather than move a lot of air like a drum fan.Long story short, I got this fan, it did not disappoint me unlike the would be lasko replacement, it blows hard, at or harder than I remember my original metal lasko fan to blow, and as the much needed bonus for white noise it's quite loud but not obnoxiously loud for those who might find that annoying, just right for it's power.No squeaking, knocking, or otherwise weird artifacts or faults of design or assembly thus far after a few weeks with it, it does its job well.The ("sale"?) at 55ish dollars was nice, and originally I'd thought about taking up the two for one deal at around 100 dollars, but I decided not right now, but soon I'll gladly get the same model to double up at opposite ends of the house.I would generally recommend Bilt Hard as a budget friendly yet reliably working brand.

Although I’ve only used it a couple of times, because our NH weather changed back to a cooler pattern, I am very pleased with it! A quality product which should last for a very long time. I only needed the lowest setting, which did a great job of cooling my living room/ kitchen areas, and I perceive it will do a great job of cooling my apartment as we move towards our summer season here in NH. I’ve previously relied on a pedestal type fan, but it is quite old, and not as effective in dealing with our really hot days! I’m confident though that my new fan will be up to the challenge!

Bought this to replace the 18-inch "Amazon Basics 18" High Velocity Industrial Fan" that only lasted one summer as a garage window exhaust fan. Whereas this one has better bearings and is performing Great, shows no sign of expiring.Blowing it down occasionally (usually after the spring pollen season) helps a lot.

I ordered 3 of these and 2 of them work very well. The 2 that work are amazing. However, my 3 stars is for the one that did not work. It immediately stopped working after plugging it in. I contacted the seller and after a lot of back and forth they finally came up with a solution: send me a replacement, which I did not want. I asked for a refund to which they only offered a 50% refund despite me showing proof that it was not working and I contacted them after a few days within receiving the fan. I tried to send a video but it would not work and I asked if they had an email I could sent the video to. They told me that amazon does not let them contact people outside of Amazon. I have had to send photos twice just to prove that the blades were not working. Finally, after telling them that i wanted a full refund, they said they gave me a full refund. Needless to say, customer support is bad. However, I do feel that some of it is because they do not go through amazon for help. I put it up to 4 stats because the other fans did work well.

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.

We bought these for our grandchildren’s birthday party on our back porch they kept it pleasant and were not so loud that people could talk and enjoy music

We hung this fan in our garage. It's great for moving air around and was easy to put together and hang.

The product was excellent and would encourage anyone who likes to say cool in the summer to buy. 105 percent satisfaction!!!
