AmazonCommercial HVF20-SP Industrial Fan, 20, Black

I bought this fan as a possible dual purpose. It was simple to put together and moves a good volume of air around. First use to move air around my living room where I dont have a ceiling fan. During those months where the heat or ac doesnt kick on much, the air gets a bit stale. It does a fairly good job at that, but the noise level is rather high. Second, as a possible fan for a greenhouse / grow area. Unfortunately, it is not suited for this at all. The strength it blows is far too strong for plants unless you have a very large grow area. It has a low, medium, and high setting, but it barely drops the strength for each level. If I had to estimate, it seems to be 100% strength, 90-92% strength, 85% strength. You might be able to get away with aiming it at a wall so its blowing indirect around the room if youve already bought it and the room is mid size, but otherwise I would keep shopping.

Got this fan to circulate air in my home as my A/C currently isn’t work. It came mostly assembled, just had to put the base onto the fan unit itself. That process was fairly self explanatory and only took a couple minutes. Although not as heavy/sturdy as previous metal high velocity fans I have bought, this one seems to be excellent quality and should last for quite a few years. Only negative comment is that the fan has 3 speed settings on the dial, but the difference is hardly noticeable. Basically this fan only has one speed. I am just using it to circulate air so that’s no big deal for me, but it is something to be aware of if variable speeds are important to you. All in all, after a few weeks of constant use, a good product.

Amazing air flow, very quiet for the power. So far amazing fan.

Good choice

Fan keeps air circulating in my space very well so far

It works well

Hoped it would circulate more air

For some it may be a little Loyd but for me its perfect since Im a light sleeper, I can sleep peacefully when my fan is on.

This is a decent fan. Its lighter in weight than a 30+ year old Duracraft commercial type fan Ive got, and its not quite as powerful as the other one, but unless you are really going to step up and spend big bucks, this will do it for most people who want a powerful fan. Nothing is made as heavy as it used to be made, anyway. My dogs like both fans (the old one and this new one) and they dont mind the noise. My three dogs (German Shepherds and a Border Collie) will walk right up and lay down directly in front of the fan as its running. As someone else reviewed, this kind of fan sounds like a Piper Cub taking off (when the wind is right you can hear one take off three miles away), but its moving a lot of air in that highest setting. And as long as you arent holding a conversation on a phone, you can get used to it. You will not, most likely, want to use it on the highest setting too often, though. You wont need to move that much air. Well, unless you are a dog. :) Dont let me scare you off of this fan talking about the noise, though. This type of fan moves a lot of air, and that simply makes sound, no getting around it. You want to be comfortable? Get this fan.
