8300 CFM 30 inch Heavy Duty High Velocity Pedestal Oscillating Fan with Powerful 1/3 HP Motor, Ball Bearing, 9 Feet Cord & Turbo Yellow Blade - UL Listed

So...it's loud. But A.) I'm been around high-velocity, industrial-quality fans, so I expected that. B.) I was looking for a sturdy, daily-use fan because I sleep with a fan on for the noise (predominantly). I only gave it a 3 because I'm assuming it wants an overall rating of noise level. So if you're looking for a quiet fan, you'll need to look to a $40 Walmart fan for that. But this is what I would expect, and I'm not upset with the noise level at all. And the sturdiness is exactly what I would expect with a high-velocity $80 fan. The pedestal is sturdy on a carpeted floor, and does not waver at all. I only have a slight complaint...I nearly lost one of the bolts for the fan in shipping. It fell out, and was in the bag the part was shipped in (not a parts bag). Luckily I didn't pitch that bag or sling it around as I was unpacking it, so I was able to find it right in the bag. So I'd just urge caution when opening the fan, to be sure any parts don't fall out. I like it...I like the knob design, as opposed to 3 different buttons. Remember, this is not oscillating, so fan blows in just one direction. But it is easy to adjust up and down. Would buy again.

I'm a registered nurse working night shift and sleep during the day. I have to have a fan when I sleep, even during winter months. This fan is perfect for me for its high velocity output. High velocity air movement does make a lot of noise, but as a day sleeper it is wonderful. It drowns out ALL other noise! It did take a couple of nights to get used to the higher pitched sound. It sounds, as my wife describes, like a huge swarm of bees! It has a very sturdy commercial/industrial grade construction. There is only metal, no cheap plastic is used. The base is large enough to keep it securely upright even if it gets bumped, it can't be accidentally be knocked over.

Read all the reviews prior to purchasing which were mixed however, I pulled the trigger and got it. Very impressed with the quality and functionality. It remains to be seen if this product holds up with time considering many from overseas don’t last very long. Overall misting is fantastic fan speed fantastic.

I like a lot of air flow and a lot of noise, but this fan was too much, even for me. It is extremely loud and cranks out a lot of air movement even on low speed. Assembly was tricky for one person, only because the top part is so heavy and you have to hold it while putting in screws. I managed alone and it didn't take very long to assemble. I wanted it for my bedroom, but all I could do is laugh at how insanely loud it is. I moved it out of the bedroom. It will be great for the porch or the shop, but inside is a no-go!

It seems the biggest complaint is its noise. However, I've had it running on low speed and it does the job of making mist that cools the area. At 110 degrees in the shade, I can still make a phone call from 10 feet away and still had no problem hearing the person on the other end wearing phone ear buds. Higher speeds raise the volume a bit. All in all, the fan is beefy and putting it together was a 20 minute process.

Just bought this for the summer! I installed it in less than 30 minutes. This model doesn't have the oscillation option. its great for the outside! I would recommend keeping it for outside usage! It has great air flow and the mist option is a hot day plus! Its a great Value for the money! Its not heavy and easy to move anywhere!
