Tornado 12 Inch Outdoor Rated IPX4 Water-Resistant High Velocity Metal Industrial Wall Mount Fan For Commercial, Industrial, Residential, TEAO Motor 3 Speed 1650 CFM 6.6 FT Cord cETL Safety Listed

Has an enclosed motor which is important for barn environment due to hay and dust. Weather and water resistance also important. Have 4 in our stalls. Puts out am good amount of air. Looking to buy more

I bought this fan to circulate air in a greenhouse, and I wanted it to be connected to our home automation. After experimenting, I discovered that the electrical box on the fan would just barely fit an Enbrighten Z-Wave fan controller inside and still have room for the fan's capacitor. After some work, I got it to fit and work excellent. I have the controller connected to the medium wire on the fan so it can run at extra-low speed for light, nearly silent circulation. It works great. Out of the box, I really appreciated the build quality. It comes with a power cable with an electronic safety, which is nice, but the safety switch resets and disconnects power to the fan in any power loss to the safety switch. The fan is properly grounded, and a separate ground wire connects the box to the motor. The fan has two bolts on the sides for tensioning the movement of the fan's angle, and it includes two plastic knobs to adjust it, but the knobs do not fasten to the fan. They came loose with twist ties around them. It would make more sense if they could be fixed to the tensioning bolts, and I suppose they could be adhered somehow.

Fantastic fan! Powerful, quiet, sturdy and, water resistant… You can put it outside on your patio or deck. I highly recommend this product. This is an unsolicited and honest review

This fan really performs! We have it installed in an open air outdoor kitchen and can feel the airflow from every point. Three speed options are especially nice. Mounting was easy and the fan is relatively quiet, depending on the speed selected and volume of air being moved.

I just put up two of these, they seem well-made and work great. To the person who said these are "held together with zip-ties," that is not correct. The zip-ties were only used for packaging. The fan feels very sturdy. As for the GFCI plug, if you plug these into a hard-to-reach or switched outlet, the plug has to be reset every time you plug it in or turn the outlet power back on. Others have said the GFCI is "very sensitive," but what really seems to be the case is that the manufacturer used a GFCI plug containing what's known as a "self-latching circuit." What this means is when you "reset" the GFCI, electricity flowing into the plug powers a relay that "latches" the circuit in the on position. When that power is removed, the relay turns off, "unlatching" itself. Subsequently, the next time you plug in the GFCI (or switch your outlet on), the first thing you have to do is press the RESET button (turning that "latching relay" back on). Don't take this as professional advice, but if you're already plugging this fan into an outdoor GFCI outlet, it's probably OK to cut off the included plug and replace it with a weatherproof plug from the hardware store.

I love this fan, but do not like the GFI plug because I can’t operate it with an automatic timer; when the timer goes off, the GFI must be reset. On the bright side, the Lo-Med-Hi switch is a physical switch, instead of electronic. That feature is harder to find nowadays. For my needs, the low speed setting is all I require in my three car garage. Furthermore, the sealed motor looks like it will outlast me, for sure. Brackets are simple and strong. Use vibration resistant nuts and bolts.

Bought these for our engine room on a yacht. They do a great job moving the air to help keep the engine room cooler. Very easy to install, we have them ceiling mounted.

Time will tell on these. I ordered 4 of these fans and had inconsistencies. 2 of the fans seemed new, but the boxes were clearly opened and reclosed. I also had 2 of them with broken pull chain handles. These were being swapped out so not too much of an issue but I still shouldn't have received them broken. For their size, air output is ok. I will say they were much quieter than I expected.
