A guy at work brought this bad boy in when the temperature was about 90 degrees. Holy cow did this thing make a difference. It's just the right size. It's small enough that you can pick it up and move it around, and it's not so loud that you can't hear over it. It seems to be of solid construction, and when you tilt it up- it stays tilted. It has a perfect balance of weight/size to make it powerful/durable and yet still portable/practical. I'm getting one for myself.

I first ordered a used one. It arrived in the original box. It was severely damaged (cylindrical frame dented in multiple places, motor mount bolts bent and grill guard screws stripped). I returned it easily and received a full refund.

I then ordered a new one for $[...]. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged. It was shipped in the original box, but the packaging is not rigid enough to prevent the thin frame from being dented. It was dented to the extent that one of the blades was bent. I was also able to return it easily and received a full refund.

I hadn't looked anywhere else other than Amazon for a high velocity fan when I found this fan. After returning the second damaged fan, I found a very nice, comparably priced ($[...]) fan at Lowes (Utilitech 24" Orbital Drum Fan). This fan is very well constructed. It has cross bars that both support the motor and reinforce the cylindrical frame. For the price, I'd recommend this fan ([...]). If you could get the MAXXAIR without it having to be shipped to you and for much less $$$, it would probably be a decent fan.

This is a great industrial fan that will move a lot of air, however, when you recieve it have a flat head screw driver and a hammer ready. Their is no protection what-so-ever in the box for the fan and it gets pretty mangled during shipping. You WILL have to remove the front guard and use a hammer to beat out the sidewalls round again. They should definatly put more quality into their shipping process. The fans still work great but you will have to work on them first.

I had to take the time to write to help those looking for a work-horse fan and to give thumbs up for this "Made in USA" product.

The fan arrived in no time at all-less than three days, box was in perfect condition (heavy cartboad) with enough foam to keep the fan from moving while in shipment. Minimal assembly required and it moves a ton of air.

Can barely tell the difference in speed from Low to Hi (wish it would have had a lower speed as well)and a little noisy due to the speed of the blades even at low.

Verry happy with the purchase!!

When I pulled the fan out of the box, the very thin metal of the drum warped which became oh so apparent upon plugging in and turning on. The resulting racket of the blades hitting the drum metal was a sure indication that this was poorly constructed design.

I was disappointed as I was looking for an expensive large fan for outdoor use on my deck to help combat mosquitoes on my creek property.

Amazon was as great as ever and took the return the next day at no charge and refunded the full amount.

I'm still looking for a quality, inexpensive large drum fan.

The High Velocity Air Movement Two Speed Portable Air Circulator, Yellow Fan does exactly what it is suppose to. The biggest problem with this product is the packaging. It is placed in a box without any protection. The first one delivered was broken & dented. The second one the box was beat up. Somehow the fan made it through the shipping process!!!!!

This fan doesn't put out the airflow I expected from the specifications. It produced very little more air than my 18" fan. I don't think the square blades are efficiant air-movers. The motor only pulls 2.7 amps, not 3.6. I measured with my KillaWatt meter. I'd try a FloPro next time, hopefully they're more honest with their specs.

It also vibrates heavily and has to be placed on foam rubber to absorb the sound.

Not bad for the money! Could be better packaged - no damage, but the cartons were in sad shape. Bought two for the shipping department - works great!
