PELONIS 20 Inch Box Fan – 3 Speeds, 25ft/s, Floor Fans, Superior Air Throw (2295 CFM), Lightweight, 5 Blades, Portable & Durable for Bedroom, Office, Living Room, Garage

I like this fan. I’ve had a few from another manufacturer. I needed a box fan and the stores were out of them. I found this one on Amazon, and there are a couple of things I like more than precious fans. The other fans had “slip in” plastic feet to keep the fan erect. The Pelonis fan has two “rubber like” feet that are permanently attached to the bottom of the fan, and are rotated to either stabilize the fan, or rotated 90° for fitting into a double hung window frame. Also, there is no handle on top of the fan, and the control is on the front of the fan, not on top of it. It seems plenty powerful, and I can’t say if it’s any less noisy that the other brand of box fan.

Well, it was a nice 1 month and week that it lasted. Does it help cool off your place and facilitate ventilation? Oh yes it does! It blows air like a fan should and does it an excellent job of it. Just don’t bump into it, not even a light bump. Otherwise the blades will break and the fan becomes unstable and worthless. It didn’t even fall over and the blade assembly still did the humpty dumpty, causing the fan to violently wobble. Lightly bumping the fan though not enough to knock it over but also somehow destroy the blade assembly also voids the manufacturers warranty, as it is considered “accidental handling” and not covered. Look, I get that I could’ve been more graceful in that moment, but a single small bump bricks the whole thing? Weak sauce, and not “Built To Last.” So if you buy it, so make sure to pay for the Amazon coverage. After declining my warranty request, their customer service recommended to not use it anymore, which is totally reasonable. They then offered to recommend companies I could buy a replacement blade. That’s fine, as I feel confident in my ability to replace a fan blade, but there’s only one screw to access the grill and no accessible tabs to pull it off go access the blades. You can pry it up a little bit, but not remove it completely. The service and owners manuals contains no information about how to remove the grill. Planned obsolescence at its finest. I’d at least hope for a couple years of use out of a box fan. In short, If you’re the type of person that thinks a box fan should be treated with the same level of fragility as your grandma’s china collection, then this will work well for you. This fan is anything but “built to last”, but if you can keep it in the same place forever where nothing can ever touch it except your hand to adjust the dial, then I suppose the claim might be valid.

I don’t write reviews very often because I can’t be bothered, but I am already so happy with this fan and I basically just turned it on. What I wanted was for it to be loud, and for it to have good wind power and I was NOT disappointed. I work nightshift and it’s really important for me to have white noise so my family doesn’t have to be super quiet while I’m trying to sleep, but I’m also perimenopausal. This fan is PERFECT!

Ok. I like these fans. They are fairly quite and extremely light weight. However, be aware that one of the reasons they are lightweight is that the fan blades are lightweight. This means that they are also a bit fragile. One fell from the window while on and the blades ate themselves, three of the five blades just disintegrated. On another one, I was moving while on and the blades were not stiff enough to overcome the centripetal force and briefly brushed up against the outer grill. So be aware: Do not move these fans while they are on and rotating.

I was honestly surprised by how powerful this fan is even on the first setting, it already feels like most fans on their highest speed. It does make a noticeable amount of noise but that’s because it’s pushing a lot of air not because it sounds cheap or annoying The second setting is even stronger and moves a ton of air. By the time you get to the third setting, it’s extremely powerful. If you’re looking for a fan that actually keeps you cool, this one definitely gets the job done Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. Great airflow, multiple powerful speed settings, and well worth the money
