Air King 3 Speed 1/6 HP 120 Volt 20 Inch Enclosed Pivoting Floor Fan 9220

We purchased the Air King 3 Speed 1/6 HP 120 Volt 20 Inch Enclosed Pivoting Floor Fan (9220) for our foyer, and it's been a fantastic investment. The air circulation is excellent — it really helps move the air throughout the space and keeps the foyer comfortably cool, even on the hottest days.One of the biggest surprises was how quiet it is for such a powerful fan. Even on the highest speed, it doesn’t create the loud hum you’d expect from other industrial-style fans. The pivoting feature makes it easy to direct airflow exactly where we want it, and the enclosed design gives it a nice, clean look.If you're looking for a durable, effective fan that won’t disrupt your space with noise, this is absolutely worth buying. Highly recommended! https://amzn.to/4ls8r4C

I'm a big fan of Air King. Yes, they cost more. They cost 2x what a cheaper fan will cost but when you consider that an Air King fan will outlast 4 cheap fans it is a no-brainer. This fan is built like an absolute tank and yes, it is heavy. This fan has a 1/6 HP motor and it is also much quieter than a cheaper fan. The reason it is quieter is the blades can have a greater pitch due to the strength of the motor so they do not need to spin as fast to move a high volume of air. Cheaper fans run lower HP motors that rely on higher blade speed that burns out the cheap motors faster and causes them to be 2x as loud as one of these Air Kings. Remember, these Air King fans are designed for continuous use on any speed setting. People place them in horse stables, crank them up to high and let them run 24/7 for years. When they get filthy enough you cut the power to them, blast them off with a hose, let them dry and plug them back in again.

Ordered this fan as a replacement for a 10 year old equivalent. It starts out quiet, but eventually keeps gaining RPM while getting louder as it continues. I use high speed first, and after about 20 seconds turn it to low speed. It takes about 5 minutes for it to reach full speed once on low. Once full low speed is obtained the fan will the start to slowly move about on a smoother flooring surface. High speed and it walks at a decent rate. Not disappointed enough to get a return as it does move more air than my same sized old fan built in much the same manner, but does have a few issues.

this is one awesome fan very powerful 3 speeds and moves a lot of air you should get one now before their gone you won't regret it

i HAVE USED THIS BRAND BEFORE AND ITS EXCELLENT.

The fan is in line with all the reviews I read before I purchased. Great string blowing action good white noise. On low ok to have in room watching TV.

Works non stop at highest setting.

Not as efficient as expected, noisy. The different speeds do not have a marked apparent difference in airflow. The blades are out of balance and it's near-impossible to open the cage to rebalance them. This replaced a burned-out 18" Patton fan I had for 36 years, and it was old when I got it. The Patton drew 4 amps as opposed to the 2 amps for the Air King but also moved more air more quietly due to efficient blade design and the speeds were useful. I bought this fan because of the high ratings based on durability compared to the half-price alternatives. We'll see how that goes. I might have been better off buying one from Grainger or McMaster-Carr. I'll keep it, but not thrilled with it.
