Customers like the air flow of the fan. For example, they say it moves some serious air, throws air very well, and provides a pretty strong stream of air even on its lowest setting. Some mention that it's quiet and works good on all speeds. Overall, most are satisfied with the airflow of the product.

"...We have used it outside and it still moves a lot of air! It was very easy to assemble and seems quite sturdy. Very please with my purchase!" Read more

Customers like the temperature of the fan. They say it's super cooling, great for those really hot days, and reminiscent of warm afternoon naps. The air from it feels nice and cool, and the garage stays at an even temperature. Customers also love the air it puts out and the result is fresh air everywhere.

Customers like the portability of the fan. They mention that it is very light, easy to haul in and out of a window, and has a nice weight to it that makes the fan feel more stable. The base is sturdy and the whole unit is surprisingly portable, and much more compact than other box fans. Customers also say that it gives out a good breeze and doesn't take up a lot of space.

Customers are mixed about the noise of the fan. Some mention it's not noisy at all, has a steady white noise, and isn't disruptive. Others say it'd be a little noisy, louder than the average fan, and the wind noise is disturbing at maximum speed. It did rattle a bit when they first got it and can sometimes cause an annoying metal vibration or rubbing sound even on low mode.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the fan. Some mention it's very sturdy and blows out strong, while others say it'd break easily. The construction is very good, and the fan is heavy duty. However, some customers feel the fan's plastic construction makes it more likely to break if it falls.

337 customers mention214 positive123 negative

Customers are mixed about the value of the fan. Some mention it's a great value and a good buy, while others say that it seems like a poor value relative to others, has a very cheap and thin blade, and is not worth it.

High-quality fan, but a short cord + overly loud Low mode + loud button beeps prevent perfection
4 Stars
High-quality fan, but a short cord + overly loud Low mode + loud button beeps prevent perfection
Pros:- PLENTY of air, even on Low!!! (I barely need to use Medium let alone the High mode except to possibly air out my hot room somewhat faster at night during a California heat wave.)- Nice, quality feel overall- The floor base is heavy which provides sturdy support (but almost too heavy)- Easy enough to put together with or without manual.- Remote works pretty well- Fan design is decent to look at, but nothing super fancy (could be a pro or con)Cons:- The cord is easily too short. Maybe 2-3 ft shorter than our 10-yr-old cheaper Lasko pedestal fan. (Expect the short cord to be dangling in the air if you don’t put the fan right next to the AC outlet without an extension cord.)- Low speed is a bit loud/powerful for the lowest setting, at least from what I am used to. All the speed modes have this constant propeller plane type of noise to them. But again, it pushes A LOT of air even on Low mode, and that I am used to a bit cheaper fans that are hardly noisy at all on Low. When setting this fan to its maximum height, the fan pushes back a bit even on Low. Also, the Low speed is between a quieter fans’ Medium & High mode. Honestly! (Either from blade noise or the motor noise, or both.)- The fan and remote buttons give off a high-frequency sound and can be irritating to hear all the time. You will know when someone is pushing the fans’ buttons, perhaps across the hall or another room depending upon how sound travels. You might wake someone with these beeps too! (I wish there was a way to turn the beep mode off! You listening, Hurricane?!)- I can tell this fan is going to be quite a bit heavier than previous models, especially due to the heavy base. Not a big deal for the average person like me, but the weight difference vs other pedestal fans is quite noticeable.- The plastic, removable remote holder is a bit flimsy, especially when you want to lower the fan, since the plastic remote holder attaches to the pole beneath the controls. It just feels cheap and unnecessary. (Might I suggest a DIY velcro job for this remote and set it on top next to the oscillation switch?! Hint hint!)- The all-metal grills, when put together, can sometimes cause an annoying metal vibration/rubbing sound even on Low mode. It happened when I first put the fan together in June, and again September after rinsing off the dust. Hurricane should have put some sort of dampener(s) on the contact points to prevent this. The vibration sound usually will go away if you take off the front grill and replace it slightly and rest as you go. I am sure one could install some dampeners, but I haven’t tried any myself.- Unless you are a small child/person, the fan controls on the unit itself will be blocked by the bottom portion of the blade grill; especially if fan is low to the ground. Just a minor annoyance really, but our cheaper Lasko fan didn’t have this design flaw! (Something I noticed after use this summer.)Installation:So, upon first setting up the fan out of the box and using it the first time, I had no issues. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was that the 2 metal grills would clearly be vibrating on one another when the fan would start up, but the vibrating grills would quickly quiet down after a second or two. I just had to realign the front metal grill a couple times to stop the vibration noise. Again, the fan worked fine, and it’s such a minor thing, but I am glad the minor grill noise stopped. I am used to fans with plastic grills, or a metal front that connects to a plastic back side grill. Since it’s a new fan, I just wanted it to be perfect haha. I guess if the metal grills make noise in the future, I could always put some sort of dampener between the two metal grills. I am guessing here that it’s a common thing with all metal fan grills, and not a knock on quality toward this specific brand or model.I just wish it was available in Black color. It says it has the color on this page on the last photo to scroll through up top. Although White color looked clean, and I wanted to try this brand for a change. I guess I am used to darker colored fans, so the White color stood out to me too much. It looks great, make no mistake, but that was how I felt.This would be the near perfect fan (for the price) if it had:- a longer cord (2-ft longer at least)- no button beeps (or ability to turn the beeps off)- a five blade design instead of the common three- a 5-speed selection where the lowest speed wouldn’t be quite as loud- a less heavy ground base that still provided good support so not to feel cheap or fall over- a less flimsy remote holder design choice- the Black color available as well!!!(Updated/Edited on Sept 5th 2022.)NOTE: This fan has held up really well in a near 90°F room during the summer in Southern California as a heat dome boils the area. This fan is an awesome alternative to using AC all the time, as well as being a great help to cooling down/airing out the 85-90°F room I sleep in before getting to bed later at night. It has been on maybe 20 hrs of the day if I am there and has held up wonderfully. It’s still pretty new, so I don’t expect it to break yet, but thank you Hurricane for this great fan for the summer months!)

5.0 out of 5 stars BIG little fan 😀
Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2023
I have been looking for a fan that would actually work, meaning I could get some air flow in my garage. This little fan puts out some air and is very quiet too, surprised me. I have purchased fans from other places and I did not get enough air flow to circulate in my garage. The material on this fan is heavy unlike the others that I have purchased which are very light and break easy Plus you don't get any air flow from them. I was skeptical at first but as soon as I turned it on my skepticism evaporated. This is one heavy duty fan it is worth the price and believe me I've spent enough money on fans that this is going to be my go-to fan when it needs to be replaced 🤗🤗🤗😁.

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2018
When it comes to moving air I'm very pleased with my new Hurricane box fan. It moves an impressive amount of air and I believe it meets the impressive 2,400 cubic feet per minute rate on high. Even on its lowest setting this fan moves a lot more air than my old fan set on high! And, I thought that one was pretty good.

When it comes to Noise I'm not so much. That's the apparent tradeoff for moving a lot of air. The Hurricane on its lowest setting makes quite a bit more noise than my older fan on high. It's too noisy for me in a bedroom fan but that depends on how much noise you can tolerate.

I think it's important to point out that the noise seems to come entirely from the fan blades through air. My old fan was almost silent for this kind of noise, but vibrated quite a bit. That noise carried through the walls and I could hear it running in other rooms. Not so with the well balanced Hurricane. It seems noisy but just in the room where it's running.

The Hurricane was surprisingly smaller than the old metal frame one it replaces. Both are described as 20in fans but with the Hurricane it appears to refer to the outer box dimensions. On my older fan it refers to the blade diameter. The Hurricane is also very thin: about half the thickness of my old fan. That's a real plus when you are placing a fan on your window sill!

The Hurricane's box is almost all plastic with some metal reinforcing. So are the sleekly curve blades. It sounds cheaply made to describe, but I was impressed with the quality of construction. It also does not seem to vibrate noticeably when it's running. I think it will last very well. Good engineering I think.

In my application I am using it in a upstairs windows to pull air through the one room upstairs in my old New England cape style home. Essentially as an exhaust fan. I used some eye hooks and a bungee cord to hold it tightly in window. With the fan on low I can be in the middle of the room and feel the air flow distinctly. When it comes to moving air I'm very impressed. Noise level, not as much.

In conclusion, this box fan moves more air than any other I looked at locally. On low it moves much more than my old fan on high! But it's noisy for a bedroom or living space. Even when on low. Construction is very good and I think it will last years if not decades. It's much more compact than other box fans I looked at. I

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars. No half stars on Amazon so I'm giving it 4 stars. It's an impressive box fan but even on its lowest setting it's is pretty noisy.

UPDATE 9-Aug-2018:
This fan has continued to exceed my expectations. It really moves a lot of air. I rarely want to use it above the low settings, but when I do it delivers moving air thought my attic bedroom and cooling it down from the day's heat (this is an attic room!). Yes, it is noisier than my previous fan. It took a little while but I'm used to it now and no longer concerns me, at least on low.

Considering how much air this fan moves I have reconsidered the noise level and I'm not upgrading my Hurricane box fan to 5 stars. I'm even more pleased than when I wrote the original review and raising my ranking to 5 stars. It's an impressive fan.
