5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great fan!, April 29, 2005

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!

3.0 out of 5 stars Stanley 655702-Not so much, May 18, 2011

This review is from: Stanley High-Velocity Blower Fan, 655702 (Kitchen)

I purchased this unit to replace an ailing Patton 20" blade fan which is used to exhaust stale air from the basement. Given its size, I was skeptical about the Stanley's ability to move enough air to at least match the Patton's performance. Suffice it to say, the Stanley blows significantly more air than the Patton and is much quieter than the jet engine roar of the Patton. Being able to direct the Stanley airstream right out the window is a major plus.

At the same time, I also purchased a Lasko 4900 to satisfy comparative curiosity more than anything. Well, the Lasko puts the Stanley to operational shame. Being slightly larger than the Stanley and with much larger air intake grills, the Lasko moves significantly more air, is quieter and appears to have superior build quality. The $10 premium for the Lasko is well worth the additional investment. So much so that I purchased another Lasko to circulate the air in our family room. I found by "bouncing" the airstream off the ceiling, I could noticeably improve the A/C performance in this western exposure, 600 square foot space. And for those concerned, operating on speed 3, the Lasko is quiet enough not to interfere with one's ability to hear the TV.

All considered, I would recommend the Lasko 4900 over the Stanley 655702

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best money I have ever spent, May 9, 2009

I bought one of these fans to replace a standard 10 inch personal fan to use at work that just wasn't keeping up. I am an electronics technician, and use it to both stay cool, and to keep the air where I am working clear of dust and fumes.

I am impressed with the quality of this product. Sure it's plastic, but it still feels like a solid product. I have been using it steadily for almost 7 months now.

Something to note, it fits in a standard upright locker. I store it in mine at work ever day. I actually hang it by its handle on the coat hooks in the top-back of the locker, leaving room for my tool box in the bottom of my locker. though this might not work for you if your locker has junk hooks as this fan weighs in at more than 8 lbs. Mine has stood up to this sort of use well. It still has minimal scratches and dings on it.

As for use, it has a good design. The blower drum is divided, so half the air is drawn in under the control and outlets and across the motor housing, and the other half through a large intake on the opposite side of the unit. This means I have no worries about the fan overheating even in warm weather. It does however mean you should pay attention to whether or not this fan will be drawing in bad things along with surrounding air. The wiring inside does appear to have been sealed, but I doubt I would trust it against anything more than minimal damp or high humidity. The motor however appears to be a high quality unit. It has a metal casing, and appears fully sealed. Due to everything but the motor being plastic, I have to take extra care not to introduce it to my soldering equipment of course, but that's not been a major problem.

At work, when it's too cool to use the fan directly, I actually use it as a fume extractor, and it's far better than the fans design for that purpose. It can draw the fumes away more effectively, and from a greater distance then the one my company provided to my bench. I just make sure I use the side opposite the controls so the dust and fumes are not drawn into the side with the motor. I have had to dust out that side of the fan more often as a result of course, but compressed air works well. I have also used it indirectly, pointing the fan at something, like the underside of a shelf, and having a much gentler stream of air as a result.

The outlets on the side are useful. They are 10 amp rated, and I have used the fan as a short extension cord. The fan has a 10 foot cord, so while the outlets might not be terribly useful to everyone that buys this fan, they are useful if you need that extra outlet.

I would not however really recommend this thing for bedrooms and such. While it is not loud like a box fan or the other types that do the same job as this fan, you can definitely tell when it's on. That being said however, its only a bit louder than normal fans at its lowest setting. Its extremely quiet for its size and what its accomplishing. Its a very good alternative to the old fashioned box fan, and probably more useful too.

I still have my fan and I love it, its some of the best money I have ever spent.

It has held up extremely well. It only has routine scratches and such. It feels as solid as the day I got it and the only consideration I have ever given it is the understanding that it IS plastic.

Its only real shortcoming is that you cant run it at very low speeds, meaning that if you only need a little, you either have to move it far away, or use it indirectly by pointing it to hit something else first in order to lessen the breeze from it. so you should only get it for medium or larger needs, but with some creativity, you can use it for those smaller applications as they come up.

The only maintenance it has needed was the occasional use of compressed air to clean it. Because of its design, that's a lot more involved process than for a normal fan, but easy if you have access to either compressed air or a can of computer duster. If you don't want to disassemble the entire fan, you have to use mainly reverse airflow to knock dust and dirt free, and either vacuum the stuff from the intakes, or run the fan to blow the dust/dirt out, or some combination of both.

The outlets on the side have been very useful the couple of times that I have needed them too, but if you don't use them often, check them before use, there is enough airflow in through them that some dust will accumulate in them.
