What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the fan's powerful airflow and robust steel construction, with most highlighting its effectiveness for garages, patios, and workshops. The three-speed settings and straightforward assembly under 30 minutes are frequently noted as practical. However, many express frustration over excessive noise described as "very loud" and "screeching," and several report disappointment with the lack of oscillation. A few customers also report motor failures shortly after the warranty expires. Despite these drawbacks, most consider the powerful performance worthwhile for heavy-duty applications.

Would Not RecommendGreat fan first year, end of second year it's shutting off due to overheating. There are NO vents on the motor casing to allow air to flow thru the motor housing. The fan turns easily, not a bearing issue. The motor casing gets too hot to touch! Could be internal component failure allowing too much current for the motor to dissipate while running. Don't buy this one, looks durable but it's not. This fan is used on covered patio in the shade. Maybe indoors it would last longer. I wouldn't recomm...
Very powerful fan
Would RecommendBought one of the last ones available at my local store. I rolled the dice and bought the one with least amount of damage to the box. Got it home and the plastic nobs to lock the fan position were broken and one of the self tapper screws holding the protective screen was snapped off... Not a deal breaker but it would be nice if the products where handled better by the store staff or the transport company. This fan is amazingly powerful even in its lowest setting. The downside is with all that ai...
Best well built!
Would RecommendIt is extremely well built. All steel & easy speed control. My only dislike is that it is loud even at it’s lowest speed. Cleaning it is easy😊

It will not stay long
Would Not RecommendWe bought two of this product. In the beginning it run smoothly. After a year or so both fans acting weird. Blades won’t turn, have to use a comb to manually turn the blades in order to work. After that issues the fan has finally stopped it will not turn by it self. Don’t waste your money buying this fan.
Damaged boxes at delivery
Would RecommendThe shipping box was damaged and the fan box itself damaged. Both taped up. The grill on fan a little bent. The fan seems to work fine. Very disaapointed in product handling and shipping by FedEx. Was not a cheap purchase.

We Love the Fan, But....
Would RecommendAfter only a few weeks the pull chain for speed control broke. We returned the fan to Lowe's for credit and ordered another one. We hope this one performs better. We love the style, function, and air volume.

Good at drying large areas, too powerful for patio
Would RecommendIt is very powerful at all three settings. It would be good for job sites, less so for daily home use. I was hoping for an outdoor patio fan, which this is not.

Utilitech Chrome floor fan
Would RecommendIt's an awesome floor fan well made and it is very easy to put together it only took me 15-20 minutes to assemble it, It does require 2 tools for assembly 1.Phillips screw driver & a scissor to cut the plastic twist tie's which prevents the fan parts from moving around during shipping. 2. plier's for tightening the bolt to the fan motor's bracket. It is a higher quality fan and I like it a lot I'll definitely be purchasing this floor fan again soon & I highly recommend this fan to my famil...
squealing 6 months in. Get Your ear plugs ready!
Would Not RecommendFantastic for the first six months. Then one night while you are sleeping get ready to have a heart attack when those bearing start to go out. Read all the other 1 star reviews. Don't buy. No way to lube up bearings with a closed motor system. I gave it 5 stars hoping to get the message to folks to read the one stars first.
packing
Would Not Recommendmy item arrived with tape holding the torn box together. holes and rips all over box
