Would Not RecommendWe ordered another fan from a different Lowes and box was not damaged. When we opened the box we noticed a dent on the side and decided to turn it on and see if it worked okay. The blade started hitting the side where the dent was. We returned that one also...an hour away.
Dented Drum Fan
Would RecommendReceived fan from Enterprise AL. Box seems to be normal without any damage to packaging . Open box and found that the fan was dented. The fan work fine.
repair before use
Would RecommendIt would not start to turn when I got it. The housing was bent to the point that the blade wast hitting and could not turn. I had to dissemble the guards and housing,straighten the bent parts and put it back together, making sure that the blade had clearance all the way around. Seems to work OK now. Took any hour or two for the fix, I'm slow in my old age.

No airflow
Would Not RecommendIn the process of packaging this up and returning to Lowe’s. It’s very loud and I was would be willing to deal with that if it actually was beneficial. It’s not. I have a blower and a box fan in my garage and they put out more air and circulate air better than this industrial fan. I noticed the good reviews came from people who received this product for free. I’m assuming it’s hard to see the true value of a product if you don’t pay for it. This product is not worth the money, time or effort.
Do Not Buy
Would Not RecommendNo airflow 5 feet away when it’s on high speed - I have a 24” Home Depot fan that puts out infinitely more air in the direction it’s pointed.
Air mover
Would RecommendThis fan really moves the air in my barn. I use it to keep my show cows cool, it makes them grow more hair. Hair is essential for grooming the show heifers.

Purchased this fan worked great to cool workshop down. Probably used less than 25 times and motor went out. Still looks brand new but can’t get parts and there still selling them today and don’t offer replacement parts! Don’t buy do your research and get a good quality fan.

Extremely Quiet Fan
Would RecommendReally quiet fan that moves lots of air. Seams to move more air on low speed than it does on high. Worth every penny in this Texas heat.

Stay away from this fan.
Would Not RecommendFather purchased this fan 13 months ago. Says a 2 year limited warranty. Motor went out last month. Contacted Lowes, they gave me manufact. number. I was told there is no replacement parts available. I would have even bought one to replace myself. If you have a 2 year limited warranty what do you cover? No electrical parts available, works well when new, but now its a 300 dollar paperweight. Keep looking if you need a fan, cause this is a waste of money.
