GDSTIME AXIAL Fan 20060, 110V 120V AC 200mm x 200mm x 60mm Heavy Duty Industrial Fan, for DIY Cooling Ventilation Exhaust Projects

I love these fans! They have been working continuously for about a week to generate positive pressure in a room of my home I wanted this feature in. The fans move the amount of air they advertise which was important to me! You can feel the airflow several feet away if you are still and there is even the slightest temperature difference. In an air conditioned room you will probably definitely feel it. The build quality is good, as is fit and finish.As with all AC powered fans they are a bit on the loud side but to me the sound isn't irritating and sound (once bearable) wasn't an issue in my build. In fact the sound is comforting in my situation, it acts as a fail safe so I know the fans are running at all times. You wouldn't want to try and sleep with this running next to your bed or anything though. I own quieter AC fans but their air movement is a lot less. Longevity and the ability to move a lot of air 24/7/365 was my requirement for my build.As I said there are probably quieter AC fans out there but you will either sacrifice air movement or pay a lot higher price. The fans come with removable metal grills on both sides and the proper mounting screws and nuts to reach through both grills and the thickness of the fan itself while having enough protrusion to securely mount to anything. The electrical mounting clip for the 120v leads is safe and pretty high quality. I was impressed.I will update on longevity of these fans in continuous operation. If they keep going for a long while I will purchase more of them for my projects. Sometimes you just want to move a lot of air for ~25 watts on mains power, 24/7 with a noise reminiscent of a powered hobby aircraft for a cheap price. If that's your use case you should try these fans.

I work in IT and install network racks on occasion as the need arises. I prefer installing enclosed racks from a noise, physical security and cosmetic reasons, so I like to make sure there is ample airflow moving through them. The included fans generally burn up bearings pretty quickly. I have 2 that did this recently and needed replacment fans so purchased this to replace them.These are a direct fit for any 120mm bolt pattern. The casing is metal while the blades are plastic and the included fan guards are a nice touch as well. My old fans were tapped/threaded with Philips screws which did make changing the fan easier. However these fans are not - it is a Philips head nut and bolt through the entire fan chassis. Not a big deal if you can get your hands on both sides of the fan easily. In my case, a 48 port network switch made this a challenge.Moves plenty of air for a smaller 12U network rack. Does not seem too noisy either, given there are some network switches, NVRs, and other equipment with fans much noisier than this.This is wired with a 2-position spring retention quick connector which although cheap gets the job done. What I did is zip tied it to some of the ground screw holes on the fan to make sure it does not fall loose or get snagged on other wires in the future. Power cord includes a rocker switch (not using), but is not the greatest. Be careful with the wiring insulation on the power cord wires - it is not good quality and could be damaged if tugged on too much.I’d buy these again if I have any more fan failures in network racks. I can easily workaround the small flaws to make these work as needed.

Blow fan

Quiet and powerful

i built a large air compressor and put it in an enclosure so it would not look so ugly on the side of my house, and its electric so i did not want it exposed to the weather. the problem was i didnt want the compressor to over heat in the enclosure so i mounted this fan above the compressor cylinders to keep the air moving around them. it was easy to wire up and pretty easy to mount and its pretty quiet, although thats not really are requirement because the compressor makes a lot of noise.

This fan fell far below expectations. The build quality feels flimsy, and it barely moves enough air for effective cooling or ventilation making it impractical for most DIY projects. Definitely not worth the price—look elsewhere for a more reliable solution.

When they built my house (I purchased used) it was too expensive to vent the microwave vent outside. I got tired of the condensation dripping off the MW back onto my food. I purchased this and made a simple bracket that blows the steam away from the stove. Works great and another plus, I was cooking pasta and not once did the water foam up and over onto the stove

I bought the fan because it matched the vent size in a storage shed that I own. I was trying to find the most economical, smallest footprint fan I could find. This fan met the bill. It moves a lot of air, which also means it makes some noise. Not unbearable to work around, but not 'quiet' either.The van has a lot of heft to it, feels like it will last. I may try putting an aftermarket speed control on it.The only downside is the screws that were packaged with the fan were way too small of a diameter. The heads of the screw and the nuts pass through the blade guard, so I have to go spend 98 cents at the hardware store and get some bigger ones. Other than that, great deal.
