B-Air Firtana 20" High Velocity Electric Garage Floor Fan for Industrial and Home Use with 3-Speeds and Tilt Adjustable Fan Head, SAFF-20, Black

B-air makes great products & I was sick of plastic fans that make it a short while before having any number of issues. Fans that only cost $10-$20.00 less than this one. Are you looking for a quality, all metal fan that can move an incredible amount of air? This might be the fan of your dreams! Do you have a desire to not hear *anything* but the sound of a prop driven airplane taking off Even on it's lowest setting? (Low- single engine Cessna. Med- dual engine Cessna. High- 747 at takeoff or standard sightseeing helicopter idling up.) If so, this IS the fan for you! Didn't think a fan so narrow could make this much noise, but, colour me surprised. I'm not noise sensitive to fans, but this sucker puts out the decibels. All kidding aside- It's well made & is indeed *high velocity*. I would not recommend it for general in home use unless you're doing something like a full ventilation or drying out after flooding, painting etc. (I have a high velocity blower fan & it's MUCH quieter, however the outflow is exceedingly concentrated. For drying a whole room/floor/walls etc this B-Air fan is **hands down** the go to!) Not ideal for exercise either. Unless you wear earplugs. Then, cyclists & runners? You, too, can have the wind tunnel experience in home on your trainer/treadmill... If you want to know what riding/running in a cat 1 hurricane headwind feels like- crank this puppy up. It's simply too loud to use if you're going to be in close proximity to it. Workshop/garage in the heat? This would be AWESOME! Cooling area at a sporting event? PERFECT. It's stable & has a narrow profile for it's size & awesome power. DO NOT purchase this model for use in apartment or multi family living- Especially if you have hard flooring. The vibration & noise will drive you out. Highly padded Carpet might be better, but not by much. Your neighbours &/or family will NEVER, ever, forgive you- & likely will move closer to the nearest airport- it'll be quieter. (If you have close neighbours? Say within a 1/4 mile or so, don't put it in your window at 2 AM, just trust me on this.) Overall it's a great fan. Just loud, extremely so, for what it is. BUT it is *incredibly* efficient, a great value for your money! It has a narrow profile, yet puts out far more air flow than other fans twice it's size. It's stable & highly adjustable position wise. Could easily be mounted via brackets on a wall, beam or such. (Just be sure if you do, whatever it's mounted to is solid & not affected by heavy vibration!) & is made well enough I fear this fan will likely out live me... EXCELLENT for those family gatherings or events where you truly don't want to hear anything anyone has to say, all while staying cool. Beats out the big barn/agricultural drum fans twice it's size for air movement & is on par or better than a positive pressure vent van on air exchanged. All in all 5++ stars for doing a bang up job moving air & being well made. 1 star for the noise & vibration it makes to do so.

I enjoy noisy fans and this one definitely makes a lot of noise even on the low power setting, especially so on medium or high. It blows air strongly enough to move paper and other light, unsecured objects around. This fan has seen on-and-off usage for almost 6 years in an indoor home setting and no odd noises or mechanical defects have developed

Great fan did what it needed to do

I picked up this high-velocity floor fan and it works great. The airflow is super strong—definitely cools down a room fast—and it has multiple speed settings so you can dial it in just right. The fan is sturdy and doesn’t wobble around, even on the highest setting, and the adjustable tilt is nice for directing air exactly where you want it. It’s a bit louder than a regular fan, but that’s to be expected with the power it puts out. Overall, it’s exactly what I needed to keep my space comfortable during hot days.

I hope I do not blow this review for the "Soleaire B-Air FIRTANA-20X 20" Multi Purpose High Velocity Floor Fan." Rather than be too long-winded, I will get the point. I needed a powerful fan to make the garage, which doubles as a storage unit and workshop (should I say triples?) as well. It gets hot in there in the summer, and this fan really does not change the temperature as much as it just makes it bearable from the breeze. And what a breeze! This fan can push move some air. Yes, it is loud, and it is sort of like having a small aircraft ready to taxi in the vicinity. It is a far for places where noise does not matter as much as power. The fan is lightweight and portable. It is possible to tilt the fan to direct the air toward ones head or higher, and there are three settings for power. I rarely needed more than low when working nearby but found the higher speeds good for airing out the garage or even the house from time to time. It's all metal, so durability, I hope, is not going to come into question regarding the nonmechanical components. Of course, the big question, unable to be ascertained now, but a topic that could fan future discussion and ratings, is will the motor last for a decade or two? Fans used to run pretty much forever. Let's see how this one endures. In short, it is a powerful, but loud, fan for garages, porches, and basements, but unless you like your background noise at really high volume, keep it out of the bedroom.

For use in the home (bringing in the cool night air) I find it sufficient to use this fan on the low setting. It really puts out the air. For those that complain about noise, one should remember that this is rated as a "Garage Floor Fan for Industrial and Home Use". The motor makes little to no noise at all but the fan blades do create a bit of noise; I'm not unhappy about that because my main purpose is to flush out the house in the evening, which this fan does a stellar job at.

Good power. Loud ?? A bit but keeps air moving well I’ve bought expensive fans that were even louder. So ??

Powerful fan I run almost 14-16 hours a day never gets to hot. It’s loud but that’s mostly due to the power it has

Después de mucho tiempo sigue funcionando muy bien!!
