Hurricane Classic Floor Mount Box Fan w/ 3 Quiet Speeds, White, 20" - Corded Portable Electric Air Cooling Unit w/ Powerful 2400 CFM Airflow for Home, Garage, Office, Bedroom & Basement

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. II'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.

This is a basic, inexpensive box fan that has one job to do and does it well - it moves a lot of air in a hurry. It has three settings: fast, very fast, and extremely fast. I use the fan to move cool air into my non-air-conditioned house in the early morning hours during the summer and then shut it off when the outside temperature rises. It does a great job of cooling off the house quickly.That said, it is a stationary and very stable box fan. It doesn't swivel up or down nor side-to-side. It's somewhat loud in operation, though not excessively so given the high fan speed at which it operates. So far it has been very reliable in its operation.I'd recommend it and would buy it again. It represents a good value for the money.

Very trim and light. Powerful and effective. Slightly louder than I expected but overall a very good fan.

Great fan! Lightweight. Not very quiet even on the low setting. Works very well.

This fan is super durable. I have had it for a long time, running it on high all day every day since it came. It still does a great job cooling the room, circulating the air well. There is a normal level of noise you would expect from a fan but it is not obnoxious at all.

Quality is great. Appears to be very durable. Three settings. Runs quiet. Really pushes the air around. We use it on our back deck. Makes it very comfortable out there.

Great fan but kind of loud.

the box and the fan looked fine. but the fan blades hot the inside of the frame. I returned it and they had the nerve to charge me a restocking fee HALF the price of the fan--over $21!!!I am VERY dissatisfied and would not but a product from them again. I would suggest NOT buying the product as if it comes defective they will not back up their product with a full refund.+++UPDATE+++ after I complained they did refund the remainder of my money. so increasing to three stars to give the benefit of teh doubt. I am still not going to order an replacement as I am not confident
