iLIVING 20 Inch Heavy Duty Floor & Wall Mount Fan - 5500 CFM High Velocity, 160-Watt, 3-Speed, Industrial Cooling for Garage, Workshop, Office, Home - UL Listed, Black

This is FANtastic fan! It's whisper quiet at its highest level and the charge not only seems to last forever but the recharge takes less time than you would think. Mine has been left in the rain several times and continues to operate flawlessly.

Using this in the summer is great! It's very decent sized, too. Not too big or too small. It gives off a nice shiny black look. Just plugging it in and turning the nob and it's ready to cool you off. It is very good at spreading the air all around the room. There are 3 different speeds and just the first one is great. I use it during the day, too, when my dogs bark. It cancels them out nicely.

*update 2* Moving to 5 stars. It's great in my garage and outside with my rabbit hutch. I'm buying another, although the price jumped up. *** *update 1* We ended up tilting it up and to the right of what we would otherwise center with, in this case, the bed. When we did that, there was markedly better air movement. When we centered the fan on the bed it was gentile, but the periphery apparently is stronger than center. My previous fan threw lots of air straight on, this one doesn't once you get 8' or so away, it is then is best felt on the sides. It may stay a bedroom fan for now, after all. ----- For outdoor usage, I don't know, but presume it will work well. This may be where I move this to. For indoor use, I have not tried as a garage fan yet, though that will be the next place I try it. I bought this to use indoors, as I enjoy lots of air moving when I go to bed. Up close, this fan moves a lot of air, and it feels markedly cooler than not in front of the fan. However, when I move back 8 to 10', it's more of a gentle breeze. I see curtains moving (not wildly, but gently) and I know it's moving air, but it's not forceful or even sort of strong. I played with the angles to see if that made a difference and only recently noticed, while standing directly in front of the fan there appear to be dead zones where I can't feel the air, but feel it very strongly a few inches to the side. So it appears to create a vortex that I haven't figured out how to live up so that I get maximum air flow in the bed. Because of this, I'll be switching back to my vornado which seems to throw more air in a directional way than this does. That said, I think this moves more air, altogether, in the room than the Vornado, but it moves it in places that are irrelevant for my desired needs. The build quality seems good and the manufacturer has answered questions saying it can be an outside fan. If it doesn't work as a garage fan, I'll use it outside, as it'll probably fill the needs I have out side, perhaps for our bunnies in their hutch or on my deck. It is not overly loud to me even in the highest setting. It's not quiet, but it's not louder than you'd expect a fan pushing lots of air to be. It has not bothered either my wife or me when going or staying asleep. The sound sounds like pushing lots of wind rather than a loud motor.

Love this fan. It it easy to handle because it is not heavy at all. I've been running it nonstop for almost 6 weeks so far, in my garage, and it is working just like new. It creates a very strong breeze, yet has multiple speed settings for most needs. Just makes the typical fan buzzing, not too loud. Overall this was a nice purchase, great quality, good mobility, and fantastic price

This floor fan is a heavy duty fan. More powerful than the one it replaced. I usually put it on low setting to help circulate the air. It's a little bit noisier than my old fan, but that's okay with me.

Good fan with a fair price. Would buy again

I purchased this product for camping but turns out it works perfectly for hurricanes and blackouts. Recharge is fast and easy and functions well off a generator or wall plug. It's battery lasts a long time and the variable speed function is excellent and circulates the air very well. Highly recommended.

While most people use shop fans in their basement/garage/shop, WE USE THEM IN THE BEDROOM!! I LOVE this fan!! Me and my spouse must have a fan at night! He doesnt like the fan blowing directly on him but I do. So, with this fans power being so strong, I pointed it straight up to the ceiling and it circulates air very well in the room - even on low. And, the white noise is great for us! The video posted is for the sound on low so if you want a quiet fan, this may not be for you. We have not tried to hang the fan yet but if we do, I will post an update with how well that works for us.
