What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the fan's powerful airflow and robust construction, with many confirming its 12,000 CFM output effectively ventilates large garages and workshops. The 36-inch size, two-speed settings, and wheeled mobility are frequently highlighted as valuable features. However, a substantial portion report the noise level is excessive and unbearable, even on low setting, which significantly undermines usability for many. Some note receiving damaged units or assembly issues. Despite strong performance, the noise complaint creates a clear divide in satisfaction, though most customers still consider the powerful airflow worthwhile for large spaces.

36-in 2-Speed High Velocity Fan

Would Recommend

Very easy assembly! This fan does make a good bit of noise but less than a torpedo heater. The amount air movement does not really change over the 2 speed settings but the noise does increase on the high setting. The air movement is very good on the lowest setting.

Portable Hurricane

Would Recommend

Recommend purchase for the following reasons: 1. Packaged very well, 2. Easy assembly...the wheels are the only thing that must be attached and they are put together with a single cotter pin, 3. Though it has some weight to it, it is easy to maneuver because of the two handles and wheels, 4. The low speed is very powerful but if you need more wind there is a high speed, 5. The fan is very well balanced in both low and high speeds...there is little to no vibration. Safety issues? Obvious ones, Do...

Great fan for home garage!

Would Recommend

The fan arrived and the exterior packaging was damaged. I assumed that the fan would be too, but it was fine. Assembly was pretty easy and the directions were clear. I assembled this fan in about 10 min not including opening the package. Things I like: - The fan outer dimensions 39 1/2 inches high from the floor, 38 inches wide in outer diameter and 18 inches in width from wheel to wheel. With these dimensions you can store it efficiently in any corner in the garage. - The fan also comes wi...

Breeze or tornado

Would Recommend

This seems to be a pretty sturdy fan. Wheels make it easy to move around. The only draw back of the two speeds is that it’s either a light breeze or tornado. I wish there was a middle setting. No other problems. If you’re looking for a warehouse fan for the summer, this would be a great product.

Great product

Would Recommend

Upon opening the box, the quality of this fan was evident. This is a solid built fan. I opted for a large fan for maximum amount of air movement. This will get the job done. I look forward to many hours of use.

It will be a good addition to my shop

Would Recommend

The fan was well boxed with plenty of bracing to keep it from getting banged up. Mine arrived via truck delivery without a scratch. It is assembled except for putting the wheels on. That just takes a minute to slide the “axle” in to place and stick a cotter pin in to hold it there. There are hooks on the back to wrap the power cord up when not in use. The wheels are spread apart about 18” so it gives you a good, wide, stable base to avoid tip overs. It is big but not really heavy, so it’s easy t...

Powerful

Would Recommend

I ordered this fan to use in my great room in the winter which is 30 by 30 and a 12-foot ceiling to circulate air. I had a unitech for the last 5 years and it performed wonderful. I set this fan up in the same location and found it it would not tilt up. I turned it on low and it had such a powerful fan action that it blew paper and tupperware off my countertops. This fan would be great in a garage and that's where I plan on using it. It is just too big for the job I need it to do.

Good Fan Depending Upon Use

Would Recommend

I wanted to utilize this fan to help air out my garage when moisture builds up. The sealed floors can be extremely slick with condensation under odd weather conditions. Even though the floor slopes slightly down outside the door, using the squeegee on the back of my push broom to push out water from rain, snow, or condensation doesn't quite do the trick. Anyway, the fan works great for drying it out and is strong enough to blow out leaves. I had the option of selecting a slightly smaller size wi...

Woah! This fan puts out some air!

Would Recommend

This fan is huge...and loud. The big box it arrived in was a bit on the heavy side for me. The delivery guy just leaned it up against my garage door rather than walk another 20 feet and up two steps to put it on my porch like he does with my other packages. Nonetheless, the size of the fan out of the box (all 36 inches of it) wasn't so cumbersome or overwhelming that I couldn't move it around--thanks in great part to the two installed wheels. The frame color and style are neutral enough to blend...

moves some air!!!

Would Recommend

I love this fan. it is a little noisy, but really helps move the air around my workshop. The wheels are very convenient too... it doesn't "walk" around while running.

Nice Fan

Would Recommend

Need to move some serious air? This is your fan! Sturdy and did I mention it moves air? Put it in the basement to blow warm air from fireplace up to the main level, worked great! Will be a permanent fixture in the horse barn now!

Super air mover

Would Recommend

This fan is large enough to do a great job, but small enough to handle with ease. For the amount of air it moves, it’s surprisingly quiet,, big plus. I have used one before that was very noisy and wasn’t made as well as this one. Happy with this fan!!

Moves A Lot of Air

Would Recommend

I used this fan while renovating an old home. It's really sturdy, rolls easily and moves a lot of air. It has two speeds, high and low. I only used the low speed for drying drywall mud but I'm sure the high speed would be good for outside events in the summer time. The fan is pretty loud but most large fans like this are, they're not really designed for low noise environments.

Helps ventilate my shop.

Would Recommend

I have a 36' x 36' shop that gets really hot in the summer. I've been wanting a big fan to move the air and push some of the hot air out. Since it's winter right now, I don't need it to cool the building but I did set the fan up to see how efficient it might be at moving the air around. I set it up near the back wall, facing the big open door and turned it on. From what I can tell so far, it will do fine when the summer heat hits. The sound level isn't overly loud, no more than other fans I've h...

Good utility fan

Would Recommend

The fan is a bit on the loud side but I use it in an area where the noise isn’t an issue. Solid built fan which is relatively lite and easy to move.

Wow

Would Recommend

My shop has windows and a large door but still got hot and stuffy due to poor ventilation. This fan solved that problem. I rarely put it on high speed because low is fast enough but it is nice to have a little more breeze on very hot days. The fan is relatively quiet and constructed very well. Easy to move around on the wheels and the cord storage is good. I buy many Utilitech products and have not been disappointed with any yet

Very powerful

Would Recommend

This fan is everything you need. 2 speeds help me get th job done the best way. I currently use it in the doorway of my basement to blow out saw dust as I work downstairs. Works perfectly! The wheels make it easy to store as well. Highly recommend this product.

Big Wind

Would Recommend

I got this fan primarily to dry out our basement. And yes it puts out big wind.The basement was dry in no time at all. I like the portability of such a large fan and even on high speed the vibration is minimal. With a two speed switch you can control how much air you want to move.It is not as loud as I expected for the motor size, but on high speed it can be a bit loud.This is a good large fan for a small price.
