Tornado 20 Inch High Velocity Metal Oscillating Pedestal Fan Commercial, Industrial Use 3 Speed 5000 CFM 1/6 HP 6.6 FT Cord UL Safety Listed

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!

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.

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

This fan is no joke. I thought I was ordering a fan for the bedroom, but this fan is too powerful for a room. I had to move it to the shop. The base is very heavy otherwise the fan would blow over. The reason for only 4 stars is because the cover ring that hides the bolts on the base cannot be installed because there isn’t enough treads on the screw under the base to screw into the outer tube. Since it’s a shop fan now I’m not going to worry about it.

We haven't used it on high because it literally blows the covers off the bed!! I absolutely love this fan! I run a bedroom fan 24/7/365 .I'll let you know if it holds up to the amount of use we give it. So far, I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!

This is a high quality fan of mostly metal construction. I have a 20" Lasko fan, all plastic, and it moves air but is not nearly as sturdy as this fan. You'll pay more for the quality, but I think it's worth it. I would be afraid to extend the plastic fan up to its full height. This fan feels like it moves more air than the Lasko and I don't find it as noisy as some people seem to, but that might just be a matter of expectations. You are not going to put this fan next to the TV and point it at the couch to keep you cool while you watch GOT. I use it as a whole house exhaust fan. I set it up blowing OUT at a window or screen door and open windows and doors around the house to draw the fresh air in. This replaced a high velocity floor fan I used to set up on an end table. Minus one star for the assembly "directions" which consist of an exploded picture with numbers. Note: When mounting the rear fan cage, orient it so that the screw is on the BOTTOM. This will keep the front cage logo right side up if you use the screw.

The media could not be loaded. It arrived today. It took 1 hr to assemble due to its unergonomic style. Once we plugged it in, we started testing it in increasing order of speeds. As soon as it went upto high, we heard a LOUD noise and immediately turned it off. One of the blades had bent a little. We thought we did something wrong and took it apart and reassembled, making sure all the screws were tight. I suspected something might happen again so I started recording. We caught the moment at which the blades loosened, came off and bent due to the momentum, on camera. The screw and notch holding the bladed is very small and bad quality. Amazon has rated this product as Amazon's choice. Clearly, they don't have any quality control. Moreover, I was not even compensated fairly for the inconvenience and potential injuries. I'm still awaiting my refund and for UPS to pickup. Let's see when they come.

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.
