OEMTOOLS OEM24883 24 Inch Oscillating Wall Fan

Nice fans! They move a lot of air, we used these out around our pool area. They are kinda loud but to move as much air they would have to be I suppose. I recommend these, great product.

Just what we needed for our 600 sqft deck in South Texas. While the fan power, options, durability, and convenience are great, I think that there are a few things that could be improved: The oscillation arc is static at 90 degrees. This could easily be changed to allow a range between 60-120 degrees. I would love this option and will probably retrofit my fan to allow this ability. The GFCI plug is extremely annoying, especially when you consider that I plug the fan into a GFCI outlet. The GFCI plug trips EVERY time the power is removed from the fan (power outage, unplugged for a cell phone, unplugged for an air pump) - I think you see the issue. What would make this better would be a GFCI adapter that could be used for an installation (the default recommendation) or removed by the end user (for applications that do not warrant the need for a GFCI plug). Quit assuming that the end user is an idiot and provide some latitude for those of us that are not inherently stupid. I apologize for the harsh words but I’m very tired of the litigious society we live in and the accommodations we make for those persons unable to make wise decisions with their safety.

Pretty powerful fan. Much better than the cheaper plastic blade fan that is silent, but hardly blows any air. I wasted money on a bunch of these cheap ones that break and when some dust gets in them, they blow no air. These are powerful with aluminum or steel blades and worth the added money, decently loud for their size (expected and not louder than I thought). You just need to make sure you have tools like an Allen wrench and socket set (preferably a socket drill bit and drill to make things easier). It took me about 2 hours to get it put together and mounted from beginning to end. The instructions are not the best and I have a few items extra that do not appear that they belong with the packaging. I like the vertical angle bracket supporting the fan to distribute the weight on the wall. I screwed a 5/8" to 3/4" piece of plywood to a stud and then screwed the lag bolts in to that. 3/4" would be recommended on a normal steel stud wall so the lag bolt can bite in to it. These are very solidly built, but not super heavy. I recommend these fans especially since it states the CFM which means it is a high quality fans. No remote control, but there is a chain to turn on and off.

Moves a ton of air but it is quite loud in comparison to other fans I have had. Seems well built and will likely last for years.

Like the fan; 4 operating positions: off, tropical storm, mid-hurricane, and full-on-hurricane. A longer power cord would be an improvement. Works well.

*Edit* As an update, OEMTOOLS themselves reached out to me, and sent me a nice package of some of their tools as an apology for the hassles. The fan itself I still do not recommend, but OEMTOOLS went out of their way to take care of me, and I did not ask for it nor did I expect it, so that was great on their part, their customer service team is doing a great job. Received the first one with a broken pull chain, and I was willing to deal with that. But after a few weeks of occasional use, the fan started getting so hot it would shut itself off. The whole point of a fan is to use it when it's hot outside, but it could not handle the Oklahoma heat. So, I was sent a replacement and it showed up in worse shape than my first one. Another broken pull chain, only this was broken to the point you could not even try to get by with it. Now Amazon wants me to send both 30" fans back on one return label. How? I don't know. This is pure crap, and I will never buy from this company again as even when I reached out to them directly, they told me they would not handle any returns or replacement as I ordered it through Amazon. They are cheaply built for a not so cheap price and are terrible quality.

I purchased two of the fans. One for each side of our pole barn. I was thinking from reviews that the noise was going to be awful. It's not. My son installed is pretty easy by himself up high. It oscillates great, has great air flow and isn't too awfully loud. Nothing like the big shop fan we had. We have only wired one and it's doing the job. The second one will def be keeping us cooler and probably even blow the bugs away. I am very pleased with them.

This fan doesn’t blow more than about 15 feet in front of itself. And it’s not very strong. Kind of disappointed to be honest. It should not be considered a shop fan.
