Master 12 Inch Industrial High Velocity Floor Fan with 3 Speed Settings. Use for Shop, Garage or Warehouse. All Metal Construction (MAC-12F)

I only received this fan yesterday, so my review is only based on how well it works, not its longevity.Situation: Top floor apt w/ central air & gas oven (emits a constant heat) and a 97F heat-wave - high humidity - for the past week. By 2pm, w the sun beating down on the roof, the apt is around 82F even with the thermostat set @ 70F (can't wait for the energy bill). In addition we have ferrets - these critters cannot take temps much higher than 85F w/o risking their health. After much sweating, pet lethargy and spousal complaints, I decided to order a fan. Once I pulled it out of the box and turned it on, I kicked myself for not ordering this sooner.PROS:*POWERFUL. Not only does this small fan push the air pretty far (I was 16 ft away & still felt the breeze), but the air is noticeably cooler. I know, I know, fans don't 'cool' the air, just move it...except this one does. Maybe it's sheer force, maybe it's magic (ha) but whatever powers are at play, the result is much cooler air. I actually put our thermostat up to 80F to give the HVAC unit a break. Even with the air essentially off, my husband put the fan on low after a while bc he got 'cold'.*SMALL. This fan only comes to the top of my knee-cap (for reference, I am a 5'5" female). Great for people who don't have a lot of storage options. It's sturdy but lightweight - almost anyone (thinking of elderly people) will be able to easily lift it by the handle and move it where needed. It doesn't oscilate, but it can be tilted up/down depending on your needs.*WELL-BUILT. I initially liked this fan bc metal seemed more durable in the long run than plastic. Again, I can't attest to its longevity, but it feels/looks solidly built. It has 4 large silver buttons - bottom is on/off, then low-high as you go up. Nice and simple. The cord is quite thick - much like a cord found on a surge protector power-strip. Note: After 3 hours on high and one on low, the fan's motor was not warm to the touch (always something to consider).*SOUND. I read some reviews that claimed this fan is too loud (which is why I hesitated on purchasing) but it's not an issue for me. If you've ever had a 'cool down' fan kick on for your computer or gaming console, that's about the level of noise you can expect when this fan is on the high setting. I can put this in the ferret's room if need be and they won't be bothered (aka: wake up and want OUT of their cage) about the noise. We watched TV with the fan on high in the same room and there wasn't any problem.CONS:COST. Honestly, this really isn't a 'con' if this fan keeps performing well and lasts as long as I'm hoping it will. But for people on a budget, I can see the cost being a deterrent. For this fan, I think the quality is well worth the price.100% I would recommend this product. In fact I'm considering ordering one for my mom & another one for myself (so the humans don't have to share with the ferrets).SIDE NOTE: if you have curious pets (dogs, cats, ferrets, bunnies, etc) or small children crawling/toddling around - I would NOT recommend using this on the floor while they are out and about!! Those metal blades won't be fun for fingers, paws, noses or tails!!! I simply tucked the fan in our closet when I released the beasts from their cage this morning. Using it on a counter top would also work...for all but the cats, anyway. :)

This is a great product, quiet, High speed, great purchase for the price

For a 12" fan it really does a great job pushing the air around. I use it in the hot garage and so glad I ditched my old fan for this one. I would image it really does a great job cooling the indoors.Noise? Well you can hear blowing especially on high but at a distance it's less noticeable.I use it on a shelf so its close up to my face and ears.I definitely got my money's worth.

Fan just arrived, and was set up. Runs fine, and is quite powerful, but it is slightly less powerful than my old Lakewood of the same size, and a lot noisier. The motor makes a whining sound that the Lakewood did not. And the blades are not rounded like the Lakewood blades, so they sound more like an airplane propeller. However, it is not so noisy that we can't live with it. Lakewood is not made anymore, and we couldn't get the old one fixed. I think this is the best replacement. (And the housing could not be opened on the Lakewood at all; it was riveted shut.)Shipping note: I ordered this on Friday July 13, and even with Prime it was scheduled for a Wednesday the 18th delivery, which I thought odd. But then it didn't ship at all until Tuesday the 17th, and we didn't receive it until Thursday the 19th. Prime is supposed to be faster than this. I suppose it got caught up in the chaos of Prime Day on the 16th, but that doesn't explain why it didn't ship out on Friday the 13th, the day I placed the order. It was not a third party purchase. Most Amazon-fulfilled Prime purchases ship the same day.I deducted 1/2 star for the noise and 1/2 star for the shipping delay.

The fan is not that big but it circulates a lot of air. It came fully assembled and works great!

Needed something to help cool down our 35-foot sailboat, and before plunking down a bigger wad of cash on a cumbersome "portable" AC unit, or getting a large pedestal/box fan, thought I'd give this little thing a try. It's doing a good job so far. Pushes enough air through the cabin to keep us comfortable, and when choosing to sit directly in front of it, it cools one off right quick. (No, it's not going to cool anyone like an AC unit can.) Have used it on some hot, humid days the last week, and it's definitely made a difference. It's small enough to fit under our dining table, where it's hardly noticeable aside from the stiff breeze, and the size makes it easy to move to a different location. It's not terribly noisy either, though it's far from quiet. Can't comment on its longevity or durability yet, but being in a salt water environment, I realize it'll have a shorter lifespan than if used on land.

Very high quality all metal construction fan. I got tired of replacing cheap plastic fans, this fan works great, I was worried it would be too loud like an industrial fan, but it's not loud at all, even at it's highest setting. I recommend this fan if you need one for a small space

This fan is powerful and awesome. I wasted a lot of money trying to find a small fan for my nightstand. You could not even feel it blowing air. By God's grace I found this one. My husband hates it, he said it's like sleeping in a wind tunnel. This menopause lady loves it. No night sweats here.

Se ve bien. Pero no tiene mucha fuerza echa poco aire.

I’m pretty sure this is the best thing I have ever ordered off of Amazon.

Es más pequeño de lo que se espera, buen flujo de aire y poco ruido, pero se rompió de una de las manijas para ajustar. Muy frágil.Para el precio que tiene es decepcionante
