Tornado - 18 Inch High Velocity Industrial Wall Fan with TEAO Enclosure Motor - 4000 CFM - 3 Speed - 6.5 FT Cord - Industrial, Commercial, Residential Use - UL Safety Listed

I used this fan for air flow in my dog run. I was able to install it where it was needed. Provides a strong flow of air.

Powerful fan for my garage. Wish it swiveled.

Cools large spaces instantly, sturdy build, and quiet on lower speeds

These fans work really well and move a lot of air, even on low. Not loud for fans of this size. Anyone who complains about noise has never used a decent sized fan before. Only two points that keeps these from earning five stars:1. The instructions tell you not to touch the running motor as it gets hot enough to burn bare skin. That worries me somewhat, as it indicates inefficient bearings-bushings in the motor. That makes me wonder how long the motors will last. I purchased two for my outdoor kitchen/grill area which I will be using only for a few hours at a time. For me, I think they should last long enough with the limited run time. However, if I needed fans that would be running multiple hours on a daily basis, I might look for another choice.2. They have nice long pull chains (for on/off and three speeds) if hanging from a tall place. My installation place them lower, so I need to shorten the chain. The wood pull handles at the end of the chain have the chain fastened inside in a way that’s makes it impossible to slide the chain through and cut it off. Not that big of a deal-I can still cut the chains off, but I will have to try to find new ends that will snap onto the chains to make a proper end to hold on to. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.

This fan is a amazing, but for some reason my fan blade is damaged. Its all bent up, and make it sound like there is a noise of paper or something in the fan.

Very sturdy fan and it really moves the air. Easy installation. Not too loud.

I tried another brand that looked the same, sounded the same, good reviews, etc, but it very clearly is not the same as this Tornado. Right out of the box I can tell the differences. The grill guards on this Tornado are nicely made, they fit together perfectly, the spot welds on each of the wire grids is smooth, and the clips that hold the front and back grills together actually lift up easily enough. Each of these things was a problem with the NewAire 18 inch high velocity fan I got. Luckily for me the box was damaged in shipping so I returned it. Getting the Tornado instead appears to be a good choice. Powerful air movement as expected and noise doesn't bother me. I've used high velocity fans like this for about 3 decades so I know what to expect. Started with a Patton if I remember correctly. Now to see how long it lasts because I work these fans hard all through the warm months, which is about 6 months. Very happy with this purchase. (There was no shipping damage either. I'm pretty sure it was the shipping from NewAire to Amazon warehouse where the damage occurred on both NewAire fans I received.)

Installed this fan by mounting the bracket to a 2x4 that I put between 2 joists in the basement ceiling in the laundry room. Secured bracket with 1 lag bolt in the center hole and a couple of decking screws in the small holes. Took about 15 minutes to install and get it running. It runs smooth, no vibrations or rattles, and it isn't too big so it doesn't get in the way. Put it in front of the basement window so I can run it at night to cool off the finished part of the basement, I just have to open the laundry room door and get tons of airflow. This thing moves a LOT of air, can definitely run on low speed to get what I need!
