Tornado 30 Inch High Velocity Stationary Non-Oscillating Metal Pedestal Fan Commercial, Industrial Use 3 Speed 8850 CFM 10 FT Cord UL Safety Listed, Black

Ordered this fan and it arrived the next day well packaged and without any damage that I could see. Once assembled it works nicely, moving plenty of air and yet not too loud, with a sturdy, mostly metal construction that seems well engineered. The only complaints I'd mention have to do with the instructions, which are pretty minimal. There's a single image showing all the parts lined up the way you should assemble them. It's mostly intuitive enough to follow, although there were a couple of steps that required some thought.The first figure-it-out moment happened to me during assembly of the base and pole. There's a heavy base piece, a pole, and a plastic cover. The pole fits into the base and on the bottom of the base is a hole that you thread a combined screw + torque bar piece into. The screw goes up through the base and screws into the pole to hold it in place and the plastic cover goes around the pole and rests on top of the base to hide the assembly components of the base. It might be just me but I kept trying to rest the cover on the base and pass the pole through it. This doesn't work, the screw won't reach the pole properly if you do it that way. Instead you are supposed to just slide the pole into the base, turn everything upside down so that the pole is on the floor and the base is balancing on top of it and thread the screw through the bottom and tighten it up. After that flip it right side up and unscrew the plastic tension handle on the pole (this is the piece that allows you to adjust the height of the telescoping pole) and pull it off, then drop the plastic base cover down over the pole and reattach the handle.The other gotcha moment happened to me during the assembly of the fan cage. All of the screws you need during assembly except one are screwed into the locations where you'll use them, which is convenient because all you need to do is unscrew them during assembly, no need to worry about which screws go where. But there is one screw that is loose in the box with the fan cage that doesn't show up anywhere in the instruction pictures. I guess they figured it was something people would just realize, but at least for me it took a little thought. When you thread the fan onto the motor rod, one side of the fan has a little cylinder that sticks out half an inch or so. That cylinder should be on the inside, between the fan blades and the motor. On the side of the cylinder you'll see a little hole. The loose screw goes into that hole and you use it to hold the fan blades at a certain distance from the motor. If you don't screw it down the motor rod will spin but won't grip the blades so they mostly won't turn. Also, if the blades slide down the motor rod too far they will hit the cage when they spin, so you need to set the fan to the right distance on the rod, thread the loose screw through the hole in the cylinder and screw it in to lock it into place.Apart from that I found everything pretty easy to setup. I'm definitely not very handy with stuff like this and it only took me about 30 minutes from opening the box to cleanup after assembly, so not too bad at all and, as I said, I'm pretty happy with the way it runs.

It’s a little loud but man even on low it puts out air. The assembly directions are almost nonexistent (tip: the little hole in the rim of the back grate goes on the bottom) but that’s the only complaint.

This is the second fan from this company I have purchased. The first is a 20 inch and works great also. This 30 inch fan is easy to assemble and packaged well for shipping. It puts out a ton of air and is not very loud like I thought it would be. The only drawback is it is a little heavy and bulky to move around and a set of locking wheels would be great instead of the plastic ground stakes that most people will not use. I would buy this fan again.

This fan really moves and circulates a ton of air. It's easy to assemble but does NOT come with any instructions, I had to download them from the manufacturer website. Hopefully it lasts a long time considering its a $180 purchase normally. I did find it on Amazon for $129 which was a major selling point for me.The fan motor itself is pretty heavy, the blades are very thin metal, possibly either aluminum or very thin steel. I also noticed a small/very mild high pitch type of sound when it's not oscillating. It definitely has a loud "fan" sound when it's on any level so placing it next to a TV or somewhere you want some quiet could be a problem.Only have used it for an hour but so far it really works well.

We needed a fan that moved air well. While a bit loud this is perfect. We only need it on the low setting to do what we need it to do.

The media could not be loaded. My husband is very impressed with this fan. It puts out so much air flow that it's perfect for a shop. It's a big unit so you will need to make room for. The stand is sturdy and holds the fan securely when the fan is on high. Great price as we checked before we purchased here on amazon

Well, I love fan noise and air movement when I sleep. I currently use a 20in UtiliTech Pro stand up fan that i bought at Lowes and it does a pretty good job and is rated at i believe 5400 cfm. I figured this 24in, 7600 cfm Tornado would really be great, but I'm thoroughly unimpressed. It's very well built and seems to have a good motor, but doesnt move air for shit! Im guessing blade design. They're extremely lightweight so I'm thinking they may have gotten flattened during shipping, so I'll mess with bending them inward a little bit and see if that helps. If not, it'll still work out in the garage i guess.

My daughter has a disease that keeps her hot. She ordered this industrial fan as hers broke. This fan is like it's name, a tornado! She has it in her bedroom (and it is a small room) and she loves it! I almost get blown away when I go in there! And, that is on low. Anyone wanting a great large fan, this one should be considered. It is not the quietest, so I don't think many people really want it in their house.

Very strong fan. A couple issues assembling it because instructions aren’t accurate but it was assembled.
