XPOWERFC-300 Heavy Duty Industrial High Velocity Whole Room Air Mover Air Circulator Utility Shop Floor Fan Variable Speed Timer

This type of fan is intended for large spaces, such as warehouses or garages. The size is the first clue towards this in that its LARGE.Ive used a few industrial "drum fans" and this is one of the better ones available creating quite a lot of movement due to the quantity of blades on the fan.Allegedly this puts out 2400CFM which is a LOT, And I believe it does move a very large volume and draws around 200W. I have no way to really measure this though, but its a good amount of air.The main issue that I have is that for ease of moving around ideally this wanted wheels on the base, just 2 so that it could be dragged around.Unfortunately I cannot rate in halfs otherwise this would be a 4.5 for doing exactly what it says it'll do, and doing it well.

So let's deal with the main issue first. The sample I received for review is fitted with a 2 pin EU plug. I was first alerted to this by the box with the "EU" model checked. Upon inspection of the fan it is indeed fitted with an EU plug. There appears to be a UK variant from the packaging, so this may be an honest mistake. But if I experienced it then it is possible that you might too. As far as I am aware electrical items sold in the UK should be fitted with a compliant plug.So what about the fan? Well it's quite large and fairly robust with a mount that allows the fans to be tilted. With a speed and timer control. The fans can actually be combined, and the design is well suited to a workshop or an open space.The plug issues aside this looks to be a pretty decent fan for the money. Unfortunately it shouldn't really be supplied with an EU plug to the UK.

Helps to move the air around the room well and easy to use.

This fan is very robust and well suited to both home environments and my husband’s garage, come workshop which is where it will spend most of its time.It may get an annual outing over the couple of weeks we brits like to call ‘summer’ when my husband, who works in renovation, will take it to work with him to keep his employees more comfortable.It’s very well made and solidly constructed with excellent quality dials and switches.It oscillates smoothly and even on the lower speed kicks out a huge amount of cold air circulating it effortlessly around the area without much disturbance as far as noise goes.The higher settings are obviously more intrusive but not madly.The timer dial allows him to set a timer from 0 to 180 minutes.It sits with excellent stability and can be angled through 360° to suit. It has a convenient handle to carry and move it around, and when stored it can be stacked.This fan is a quality product.I love it’s no nonsense controls, and ability to shift a large amount of air rapidly cooling the area.It’s powerful, performs very well and given the quality it’s fairly priced and a much more affordable option than its branded counterparts.I hope you find my review helpful.

I took a gamble getting this fan because I wasn't 100% on what the intended purpose is? You have a description that says 'Industrial' but then the pictures suggest it is for domestic use too. Having received it, I would say it's suitable for domestic and commercial but not industrial environments.What I love about this fan is that in an era of weedy electrical shortcuts we actually have an old school product with old school electrics. We're talking proper switches, proper cabling and solid construction. This I believe is what they mean by 'Industrial'. You know those common metal fans with a metal cage and a weedy toggle switch? That's not what you'll get here. It's a solid lump of plastic that really is better than metal for this purpose. It makes for a much solider feel and makes it much quieter. How quiet depends on what you need, obviously. It has fours gears of effort to work through. For me, I only wanted a gentle breeze for UK cooling and for this, first gear was enough. Circulated the air whilst not disturbing the peace. No issues watching TV and we'd be happy to sleep with it on and the bonus of that inbuilt old school rotary timer. Go beyond first gear and things start to get a bit more intrusive but with obvious benefits. Basically the hotter you are, the more noise you'll have to put up with. No pain, no gain.This fan may seem a bit pricey but it's worth it. It shifts the air well and will last a lifetime. This is coming from me, who's a hard marker.
