I bought this fan to use it for a make shift air filter with 4 air filters stuck together. I also bought a Chinese knock off.. This fan is so much better it's not even funny. The fan fell out of a window I had it in from a big gust of wind. I thought for sure it was busted or some of the slots in the grill would be broken. It was completely fine. I had the knockoff get blown out of a window as well, and it was totally screwed. The grill broke into a bunch of pieces, so not I have that out at my cabin where I plan to jury rig some kind of screen over it so my kids don't mess with it. This fan is built to last, and it moves a ton of air even on the lowest setting. I will say though, it's pretty loud, but I don't mind that, I need it to move air...

Chose this box fan after seeing a youtube review of Corsi box fan filter builds, and after decades of more generic box fans, this one is a revelation. It feels much more powerful and effective at moving air than any other box fan I've owned. It's seems little louder at high speed, but the noise is worth it.

This fan moves air. Its loud but i like the white noise due to tinnitus. Built better than any box fan i bought in a few years. Reminds me back in the day when things were built well.

Thought I was purchasing a new product, but the label on the package clearly states Returned Merchandise. I don't even know if it made it back to an Amazon warehouse for an inspection before being re-packaged.It's only day 1 so I can't speak to longevity, but I purchased this to compare with a Lasko Cyclone Power Air Circulator that I picked up at Target. TLDR; the Lasko works better for my use (in an apartment), but I do like the Air King.I live in AZ and I'm working at home due to the COVID pandemic. I'm home almost all the time and it's currently July. 2nd story apartment with concrete/brick walls, a large kitchen/dining/living space with a high vaulted ceiling, and no ceiling fans. There are only 3 air vents in the entire apartment and they pump out ice cold air, but there's just not enough coming out. AC runs 24/7 at the lowest setting and the temperature averages 82-84 °F from about 10am until 2am. Blinds and windows are closed almost all the time. I need something to help circulate air, that I can run while watching TV, cooking, sleeping, etc.I purchased the Air King to circulate air through the large living space. It does this very well, but there are some draw backs.1) It's loud. There are 3 speed settings, whereas the Lasko has 4. The Air King on high moves more air, but it's louder on all settings. As far as volume is concerned, the Air King on 2 is about the same as the Lasko on 4.2) As expeced, it's industrial. I believe it will last a long time and take a beating in this heat, unfortunately, it's missing one small detail. There are no feet, so if it's set on a slippery surface the fan speed will slowly move this across the surface. I thought I would leave it on a TV tray table at the end of the room to get it off the ground, but it vibrates right off. I will need sticky tape or friction pads.3) Compared to the Lasko, there's no features. No remote, no digital timer, and there is no base that allows you to tilt it. I knew this when I purchased it and I'm indifferent to the lack of digital controls - I was excited to plug this into a smart outlet so I could control it with Google. Unfortunately, after using it these missing features make a big difference - especially the lack of tilt.Ignoring the Air King's speed setting of 3, the Lasko feels like it's pushing out a similar amount of air, does so with less noise, can be tilted (or wall mounted), and has a remote. On the highest settings the Air King noticably pushes more air.Both box fans push far more air than my standard oscillating fan. If I was using this in a garage, on a worksite, or outside, I'd take the Air King every time because it feels much more durable and pushes more air on high. That being said, to circulate air in a large, hot, AZ apartment I'll take the Lasko every time. The features and noise are a good trade-off for the slightly reduced air flow.

From afar this thing just looks like a normal box fan. The knob to turn it on is basically identical to most box fans and the hardware (screens, cord, handle, screws, etc.) don't look like anything too special, HOWEVER, take a closer look and you see this thing really is commercial grade. It is slightly larger than a normal box fan and BARELY fits in my standard size window and is almost twice the width of a standard fan. The electric motor in this thing is HUGE and powerful. Most importantly, this thing really moves a lot of air. I use it to vent my entire apartment by having it blow out of one window so fresh air can come in through all my other windows. For this purpose it is great. Even on low this thing is powerful. On high it sounds like an airplane taking off!! Do not expect a "whisper quiet" experience, as this fan is very loud, especially on high. Not annoying, but still loud. However on the low setting, it is about as loud as a normal box fan, so totally acceptable! Very happy with this purchase! Replaced my AC system and saved me a ton on my electric bills.

AirKing is the same company as Lasko. In comparing this to 20 Lasko Box fan I bought at Walmart. It is heavy duty, the motor and outside frame are built heavier for sure, but the handle, and switch is the exact same as the cheap Lasko. The grille covers add so much resistance they are very inefficient. If you take the grills off you can instantly see the stress releived to the motor. Is a huge difference. The fan blade is very flimsy. This to me is where the most improvement could be done. Its very small and leaves alot of rooms for a larger metal fan blade that would drive more air with less noise. The Noise, it does move air, but to be honest for the noise it creates it better. Its crazy loud even on the lowest setting.I would not buy another one, infact I would trade it for another 20 dollar Lasko just for the reduction in noise alone. Regret buying I really thought this was going to be a nice fan. The frame is heavy duty and thats really the only thing heavy duty about it. Ohhh yea and for the volume of air it moves vs the noise vs the electricity it uses its not efficeint at all. Garage sale item.

A los 15 minutos de haberlo encendido comenzó a oler como a solvente y resulta que era el motor, cuando lo toqué por atrás se sentÃa súper caliente, entiendo que el motor se calienta ya que tengo varios (de otras marcas) pero ninguno emite ese olor tan desagradable ni se calienta tanto. De verdad no lo recomiendo

Does the trick. Makes a LOT of noise, but we use it to create white noise so our kids don't wake each other up in the evenings, so works great for us. Moves a lot of air.
