Tornado 20” Oscillating Pedestal Fan – 5000 CFM, Stand Fan, 3-Speed, 1/6 HP, 6.6 FT, Industrial & Commercial Use, UL Listed

I like a breeze, and white noise from a fan while sleeping. I replaced my old fan with this one and am already impressed. IMPORTANT: One thing to note, based on the diagrams in the manual, the blades are attached with the securing screw on the back side of the fins. If you install it backward (like I did at first), it’s a LOT louder. The rounded edge of the fins should be (unintuitively) pointing counter clockwise, even though they rotate clockwise. This is not a quiet fan. But most fans produce a fair amount of noise if you really want to cool down. And like I mentioned, I like the white noise, and it moves more air on low, than my old one did on high. DETAILS: On low, it moves WAY more air than my old fan did (on high), and is only slightly louder than the old one was (on high). If this fan is turned up to high, you better make sure everything in the room is tied down. My old one was all plastic, this one is all metal. Very good quality. I like that the motor is pretty much enclosed. The old one failed because of too much dust collecting inside it. I got a few more years out of it by oiling it before it completely seized up. I’m sure ultimately the oil attracted more dirt in the long run. I’ll update this review if I find a good way to lubricate the bearings on this one without causing premature wear, or if anything unexpected happens. Out of the box, on low, after fixing the blade direction, it had enough torque to pivot the head upward. Tightening the bolt down on the head pivot solved this issue. This fan looks sharp, and performs better than I had hoped. It’s good to find a quality product in today’s market.

This fan is great, & I wish we had it a few weeks ago when the temps were SUPER HOT but, its nice to know we now have something like this on hand for when those times come again. Assembly was pretty easy, just needed a Philips head screwdriver, and patience. Its very powerful on the “Low” setting. To the point that it has to be a certain distance away from you, or it could actually start to hurt your eyelids. (🤔 From them flapping up so much. 🤣 “I’m not even playing.”) It could be used as a workshop fan even though it’s on the smaller side, and if you place this in front of a mini-a/c unit or vent? It’ll get that cold air where you want it to go, very fast! The price point was “Ok” could’ve been better, but it could’ve been worse too. The fan motor that the unit comes with, is pretty good! It was the first thing I noticed putting it together. There were a few broken boxes inside of the main box from shipping? But nothing was damaged, not even a scratch on the main parts. It’s a metal fan blade, spinning pretty fast, inside of a fully contained metal cage. This combination, gives off the sound of a hornet’s nest or bee’s nest near by. So it might not be the ideal fan to have next to a bed, given the human’s natural response to a Hornet’s Nest being next to their bed. If that’s what you were thinking of using it for? Might wanna make sure you’re built for that kind of sleep. Just wanna say, “Thanks to all those who helped keep things cool here!” Hope this helped.

Our a/c is broken. We needed something to see us through the heat wave. I am TIRED of throwing my money away on JUNK fans that don't move air !! I paid 100 for this and it is worth every penny and a bargain compared the crap available in town. It came undamaged in the slightest. My son put it together very quickly with no issues. It doesn't come with a bag of misc nuts and bolts. All hardware is already installed, so you just need to remove it and put it back on. I love that it is all metal. It's pretty heavy, so I don't worry about it getting knocked over. The big motor is a plus and ball bearings, too. My first impression of this was that it is high quality and should last. We have not even used it on high- only low which moves A LOT of air. Tomorrow should be 90 degrees, so I'll likely be trying out the higher settings. We have it in the living room in front of an open window. We can hear the TV which is pretty close to the fan. I doubt the same can be said for higher speeds. I'll find out. Low really isn't all that loud and is a small price to pay for the amount of air it moves. I love this fan and I'm very happy with the quality. I have sent the link around to family and friends. Everyone needs a good fan. My sister needs this to blow the bugs on her carport when she's chilling out there! My only concern about the fan is it doesn't state that the ball bearings or motor need to be oiled or how.

Fan was fairly easy to put together; instructions were just a diagram. No big deal though but I originally put the blades on backwards. I used the fan for a few days and wasn't happy with performance plus it was super loud. I planned to take it back but I said let me reverse the blades. Wow, what a difference, twice the air flow and now half the noise. For those on the other reviews that say it’s too loud, they may have done the same as me. Base is pretty heavy for a reason, if it wasn't, on high setting it might blow it itself backwards. Make sure the screw is on the back side of the blade when installing.

The span is as advertised, it moves a lot of air and the noises manageable. Unlike other fans that I have purchased in the past for the CFM use, the noise would cancel out the benefit of the air movement. What good is air movement if you can’t have a conversation with the person next to you? This man doesn’t have that problem. High movement noise is manageable to be able to have a conversation with somebody at normal voice. This is a good purchase I own four of these and did not buy them all at the same time. I bought one to see how it would operate, only to purchase three more after that.

The motor on this thing is FAST no doubt about it. The blades are metal, which is good, but they are LOUD, to the point where it would be intrusive if you wanted to make a call nearby. The base of the motor came defective, in the sense that it always ends up pointing up. There is nothing that secures it from tilting upwards. The motor is mounted on the pedestal and kept together by a single screw that doesn't hold it from coming off if you were to pull the motor up. Adding such flimsy support to such a powerful motor with METAL blades just screams safety hazard. The "instructions" for assembling it is just a diagram and it's missing a couple of steps. Even that they couldn't get right. This is going back in the box and back to Amazon immediately.

Awesome Product

Keeps my upstairs cool. However it is so loud we must close all doors to hear the Tv.. Easy to assemble except I couldn’t figure out how to tighten the fan to the stand, therefor it just sits on the stand. The fan turns around completely I think it is so cool but the cord wraps around the pole with the turning of the fan. 3 stars for noise and assembly otherwise pretty cool fan

excelente calidad
