I'm impressed with the power of this fan. My previous fan was a cheap model with 16" blades, a 40-watt motor, and moved under 1000 cubic feet of air a minute which is ok if you just need a soft breeze. However, if you need to move air, this fan has 20" blades, a 90-watt motor, and moves more than triple the amount of air.
I live in a rectangle shaped apartment with few windows. The air-conditioner is in the bedroom at the far end and not enough cool air makes it into the rest of the place. This fan does a great job of pushing the cool air out into the rest of the apartment.
This is easily the most well-constructed fan I have owned. I did a lot of research before making this purchase. If you need to circulate a lot of air, this is your best bet.
It's also worth mentioning that the folks at McDeal's were super efficient at processing my order.We bought the Windstream 20" fan away from Amazon because of price and shipping considerations. Still, it was about 3x the cost of the generic 16" fan available from box stores.
Assembly takes one person and a strong screwdriver. Note that the heavy-duty power cord is grounded and needs a 3 prong outlet. Note also that the base gets attached with screws so that the fan cannot be easily disassembled for flat storage. The cover is easily removed for blade cleaning.
This fan is not a toy. The 90 watt motor and 5 shaped blades blow a lot of air in a tight stream that can be felt at 20 feet on high setting. Yes, there is noise commensurate with the speed setting.
Recommended for those needing a powerful standing fan.Very, very good fan. Easy to assemble, blows very powerfully, and prety quiet for it's size. Plus, I think it's going to going to be more durable than some of the cheaper fans. I would definitely buy agian.This unit really moves the air. It would not be useful in areas where noise or low velocities are needed. The low speed does not seem to be much lower than the high speed. The noise is not overly loud, but it is not as quiet as some, but the quiet ones don't move the air this unit does. In my application, moving air in a 36 foot long sunroom, it is ideal. I would buy again!The Fan Definitely Meets Our Expectations. It Is Quite Enough To Use In Our Bedroom. We Love The Fan. Hope It Last Years.
