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

Is great. Low setting set off tornado horn in my town. Is pretty quiet for how much air it pushes, but it’s not quiet. It’s like these fans they have in the gym. The ones I see in gyms are usually bigger, but this is the small one, and it’s a great fan for the price. Super high quality. No plastic. All metal. GG.

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.

This fan is awesome! For anyone saying this does not blow any air, you probably have the fan blades on backwards. I realized that the first time I put it together and switched the blades around and it worked perfectly and blows a LOT of cool air. So anyone saying this fan is a waste of money please try switching turning blades around, they are curved a certain direction for a reason!

What seems like would be a simple set up is not. There are no instructions. Back cage goes on either way but needs to be specific to get the tornado logo facing up on the front. Undid my work and put it on correctly. Now can’t get the front grill on no matter what I do. The clip up top does not slide on easily, or at all for that matter. I have scuffed the coating quite a bit trying every which way to get it on, so this outdoor fan I’m sure will be rusting within months in our coastal area. After an HOUR I gave up and will try to put the front on again another day. This is ridiculous.Edit: using much more force than I was comfortable with (due to the possibility of breaking it and being told it was my fault), I was finally able to get the housing secured. The fan itself is a beast. Hopefully it lasts a while.

Excellent fan. Blows great, a little loud but it's worth it. I've had it for 3 yrs and no issues.

Just unboxed and put together. Oscillation does not work even when you turn oscillation knob to on position. Make sure to put together and test before 1 month return window!

very good

Terrible “pictograph” instructions. Upon arrival, the base that you are to attach the post with was not drilled through so we had to drill our own hole. There is not a single “word” instruction on how things go together.Was under the assumption that this was a knob control “ Controller Type Button Control”, but it is a pull chain.Only saving grace on this, so far, is it moves the air well enough.
