Hi there, can anyone tell me the force , or how much air the blower moves, by comparing it to something like a 12 fan, car air on high, or something ?

James, it blows more like the exhaust outlet, not the suction outlet on a small hand held vaccum cleaner.Dennis

this is really super quite compared to most fan operated air blowers. on low and medium settings it is wisper quite and no whinning noise......it also does a good job in circulating the air on a hot day.

I believe it is 3,670 CFM. It doesn't tell you that on the pamphlet that comes with the fan but I looked it up! Trust me this fan blows beautifully!!

Hello Laurence, In answer to your question, I don't have a 10 in fan to compare the 12 in to, but I have to believe that the12 can move more air. I am pleased with the fan, it is working in my living room that measures 20' by 24'. I wish I would have got the the tower fan, it's bit bigger and it comes with a remote. Oh and I should mention that it is quiet, but still make a but of noise.

It was a "pusher type" installed on a built 350 Chev and it did not do as well as the 500 cfm fan it replaced. I compared the flow to a friends car with identical fan and there was a noticeable difference. I returned the fan and bought a different brand and no problems since.

Yes, it works quite well for that. It uses a motor that's not open, and won't cause any problems with the fumes. That's one of the reasons I like it. There isn't a fan on the market for that price that moves more air. To move that much air sometimes you'll probably want to make sure you've got the shop vented to provide intake air so it can move enough of it. Hope that helps you out! Fletch

It certainly moves a volume of air, but you'd have to fabricate a fitting over the output opening and route it up to your opening that you plan on exhausting the air. I think you'd be better off with buying an actual attic exhaust fan.

I've been very happy with this fan. It move's a good volume of air and the stationery oscillation feature is a really nice feature. The highest setting is very strong and works well for my livingroom. I'm not sure what you are describing as a blower type of fan, I'm guessing its stationery and is on the floor as opposed to a stand fan? Overall this is a good choice if you need to circulate the air in a whole room. It's easy to put together and is very sturdy. Hope this helps.

My room for the fan is about the same size as yours and I feel like it does a great job moving air, just as well as my previous one which was actually 48". I love how much of a smaller footprint it has and how much closer to the ceiling. By the way my ceiling is standard height. I haven't needed to use high speed yet.

The fan sits flat like a pancake and sucks air in through the bottom and blows it out a port on the side. It kind of turns the air 90 degrees if you think about it. Mine sits on top of my amplifier and sucks the heat off the top and shoots it out the back of the cabinet. I've been using it for months now and I'm very happy with it. It produces a nice steady flow but it is not a high pressure air stream. It's just the right amount of air to keep your components cool. Remember it's just USB powered. I highly recommend the controller for it too.

It blows reasonably hard. I can feel warm air on high when I hold my hand about 3 1/2 feet from the blower when it's on high. When it's on low, I can feel warm air about 18" from the blower..

It's a very noisy fan, even on #1. It moves lots of air, but makes too much noise for me. I'll try to control the speed of the motor sometime....

Watch out for a defective fan motor that changes speed by itself. You won't feel any air movement at all. If you are lucky enough to get one where the motor is OK, it does a pretty good job moving air up to about 20 feet.

U manually pivot (tilt up or tilt down) to the position u want it to blow. It has 3 different fan speeds which i usually put on med. The fan runs great still 24-7 all summer long - its noisy which lulls me sleep. I hope this answers ur question.

I use it primarily to blow air in from a 6" open sliding door on a balcony, from outside into the room. You can't really feel much air movement on the intake side, but it blows quite strongly up to 12 to 14 feet away on the output side at level 3 of about six levels of fan speed so it is moving quite a bit of air. Above level 3 it starts to get a bit noisy, maybe too noisy to sleep easily. I've tried using it to blow outward and that seems to work, but it's harder to tell for sure that it's sucking from the room.

I run a car stereo setup off of mine in the man cave. My fan runs all the time. But I just put a 12v fan controller on it and a bigger fan. Fixed the problem if you're a DIY'er

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.
