Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
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.

Would Not RecommendThis fan moves a lot of air, but it’s very loud. It’s also very flimsy. It got turned over while running and the blades warped and bent. Not worth the $350ish.
TOO LOUD
Would Not RecommendThis item does the job as far as blowing air and cooling the indoor garage off. It kept the flies and mosquitos out. The issue is that it is SO loud you can even hear yourself think or talk. We had a gather and even standing outside the garage we couldn't hear each other and the fan was all the way inside. If it was more quiet, definitely a keeper. Its just way too loud. We ended up just having to turn it off and use 2 small fans which totally defeated the purpose. We were right back to square o...

36" High Velocity Fan
Would RecommendThis fan is awesome, the wind that it produces will blow your head off even on lowest setting. Also, if you love outdoors forget about the bugs, they can't fly into the wind so you stay cool and Mosquitos free.

Noisy
Would Not RecommendThis fan is very loud. I have a 42" belt driven fan that is the same brand and was bought from lowes that is so much quieter. The 42" fan was not available so i bought this 36" fan. We use it around out pool but its so noisy that you can't hear the radio playing or people talking near you.

No quality.
Would Not RecommendIt should have come with the wheels on it but no big deal breaker. It did not come with hardware to install the wheels and is packed very badly. It has a couple of major dings to to being handled roughly. This fan is really loud.

Dented extremely BAD
Would Not RecommendBought this for a gift to my son ( an expensive gift!! ) but he needed it for the shop. I was so excited to give it to him when he opened the box up the fan housing and grates were sented EXTREMELY bad. It looked as if it has been beat to pieces and put in the box. I cried because of the price I paid for it, and the fact it was a gift to my son. He tried to Straighten it out best he could, so sick to my heart over money wasted on the gift.

bent and dented
Would Not RecommendI guess to Lowes, money means nothing but to those of us spending it at their store it does. After taxes and all around $350 for this fan, I bought 6/30/24 at Henderson, Texas Store. When we got it out of the box, it was dented in so many places the wire front was dented it was misshapen. we spent a very long time taking it apart and using a soft ballot hammer to reshape it and get as many dents out as we could. When you pay this much for a product and it's comes so destroyed, you still pay full...
