VornadoEXO51 Small Heavy Duty Air Circulator, 3-Speed High Velocity Shop Fan, Dustproof and Water-Resistant Powerful Motor, Industrial High Impact Case, Green

Great fan! Small, but moves a lot of air. I use it mainly for noise for sleeping as it is pretty loud on high speed. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

I don't know about anyone else but I've had bad experiences with fans. You can't feel any air if you hold your hand up in front of them, even on high. Swivelling fans that start swivelling if you even look at them wrong when you just want the stupid things to push air where you want. I bought the next larger version of this fan for my bedroom and love love loved it. So I got this one for a smaller version and it's a beautiful fan as well. The air goes where you want it to and it's a such a sturdy little thing (and no stupid swivel).Attaching the base is surprisingly tricky. You MUST insert the base between the small metal washer and the large rubber one or it will start to slowly, sadly tilt down (something that drove me crazy with the larger version until I, duh, read the instructions). That metal washer is TINY and I thought the instructions were maybe for the wrong version cause I couldn't even see it. But it's there and I had to unscrew the knobs all the way and use a dental pick to coax the two washers apart.Of course I've read the one star reviews (who doesn't read those first?) and all I can say is it's not my experience. On the lowest setting it's whisper quiet and I can feel air several feet away. On the highest setting, yeah it's kinda loud - I mean it's not a MAGICAL fan - but the sound is all air, no motor noise or anything like that. Show me a fan that blows that much wind and is quiet at the same time. Doesn't exist. And when I need a fan to be on high just give me that sweet wind and I'll take some blowing noise.This was a great pick for a second fan, but honestly for a first room fan I'd go with the next size up. Maybe buy this one if you need it on your desk or you live in a shoe. It's not that this one isn't good, just that I've not found the larger size inconvenient at all in my bedroom. And you get more wind at about the same noise level.I can't comment on durability since I just got it but I've had the larger fan for nearly a year of almost constant use with no problems.

ATTN people that love loud fans for sleeping!!!! AMAZING FAN! LOUD! Great sleeping fan! Tiny powerful little thing! Blows colder and more powerful air than box fans or tunnel fans. So hard to find a LOUD fan! Everyone wants “quiet”, not me! Louder the better for sleep. I LOVE this fan!!!!

First 2 quirks. I WAS immediately disappointed in the size. It's hard to judge the size from stock photos. Grill opening is 10".The other quirk is I had a little bit of hard time with assembly. The space between the mounts on the stand is a slightly wider than the fan. I ended up dropping one side of the fan trying to mount it.Now the good stuff. I was immediately satisfied with the velocity this fan has. It is quite potent for it's size. It blows more on low than my older 14" high velocity Patton fan on low. I use fans in the summertime to distribute air throughout my apt. from my a.c.On medium and high it is louder. But it is a fan built for shop use and it isn't as loud as 20" and larger shop fans. For what I use it for, it does a good job cooling on low.It does vibrate some on medium and high. It's still a high quality product.This fan has what every fan should have and that is a permanently sealed motor protected from dust and dirt.Functionality - Very easy to use even though the switch is on the back of the unit. It's very easy to adjust the tilt and tighten in place.A bit pricey, but I think it's worth the money I paid for a long lasting fan. I'm glad I didn't spend $120 on a larger one.I didn't think I'd get excited about a new fan, but I did.

Everything on this fan is sturdy and quality, save for the switch to change speed settings. It's made of plastic and feels like it will snap long before five years are up. If you need white noise, this is perfect for you.

AWESOME FAN .... HIGH POWER...... LOVE IT...... HEAVY DUTY....WORKS GREAT ON STAGE MOVING THAT HOT AIR AROUND.

Compact, moves the air in my Florida two car garage/workshop better than the 16” pedestal fan it replaced. I am happy with the volume of air and it’s relative low noise.

I bought one last year. Loved it. It replaced a bigger shop fan. Does the job but taking up less space. I have dogs and this is weighty enough it will not fall over. So glad it came overnight as we are experiencing a week of extended high 90 degree tempts.
