iLiving Wall Mounted Variable 14 Inches Speed Indoor/Outdoor Weatherproof Fan, Industrial grade for Patio, Greenhouse, Garage, Workshop, and Loading Dock, 2473 CFM, Black

When I put in my new grill gazebo I did not realize that its aluminum roof would gather heat during the day, making the inside pretty warm. I started researching outdoor fans and the iLiving was the best I found, either at the big box improvement stores, or online. This fan is terrific. I got the 14" and all three speeds are useful. The strongest is such a strong blast I normally use the middle setting. It comes with a long pull chain that is easily snipped to the size that works best for you. Let me answer some questions you may have: How long is the power cord? Six feet so you may need an extension like I did. For the best match, be sure you get a three plug round black cable in typical 14 gauge. I really like the inexpensive one from Woods also available on Amazon. It's a perfect match. Be sure you get an extension cord for outdoor use. What hardware is included? / How to attach the fan? There are two holes on the steel bracket that comes attached to the back of the fan. It's easy to install. I bought some nuts and bolts on my own that best fit the metal frame I was attaching it to. One hole is larger than the other so two different sizes are needed. Two healthy sized wood screws are included but I needed a nut and bolt for my use attaching to metal. Does it swivel? Yes, you decide if you prefer side to side or front to back. Because I needed to orient the included bracket horizontally, it swivels front to back for my use, or perpendicular to the bracket. (See my picture with fan attached to gazebo side.) if you need it to swivel in all directions, depending on your available space for hardware, you will need to pick up an additional bracket such as an L bracket. Is it noisy? Just the sound of the wind it makes! Really well built, solid and no rattles. Can it work on a timer? Absolutely! That's how I use mine, plugged into a pool/spa type of timer that lets you choice hours you wish it to be running. It also works fine with newer smart timers that work of phone APPs, etc.

We bought two of these to help cool off our back patio that gets a lot of sun. We live in San Antonio so if you know anything about this area it gets hot! I mean really hot. We mounted them on each side of the patio entrance and because of their power and the amount of air volume they work great at moving the air. The temperature drops around 10-15 degrees when they’re running. They have three speeds and oscillate enough to cover the entire area. We’ve had them for a few years now and they are super durable and the size is perfect for our 19 foot by 13 foot patio. Great value for your money.

I installed these fans on our outside bar, and thank the Lord my son recommended them. It can get very hot and humid during the summer, but these fans make a huge difference. They move a lot of air, keep the area much more comfortable, and even help keep the mosquitoes away.

I’m using this fan in my backyard to repel mosquitos, which it works great for. I’m happy with how much air it puts out, and it oscillates decently. Seems durable enough so far but time will tell. The only issues I have is that the instructions aren’t very detailed, and the tilt position set screw is useless. Installation was easy until it came to the set screw. It isn’t long or sturdy enough, so I ended up having to drill a hole through the other side and stick a bolt through to lock it in place. This would be a 5 star item if that screw wasn’t such a pain.

We installed this in my greenhouse to keep the air moving on my orchids. It was easy to put together and mount above the door. It did take 2 people, 1 to hold in place while screws were installed. Works great, I have never turned it higher than the lowest speed. Noise wise, nothing excessive, you definitely hear it but not horrible.

Loved them, hit two. Super quiet

There are no pros regarding this fan. From the start, the mounting bracket provided no provision to keep the fan support from rotating on the mounting bracket. It hangs from a single hook in the middle, allowing the fan to pivot like a single hook picture frame would. This is in spite of the fact the mounting bracket has two screw holes far enough apart that they can't both catch a stud (my previous fan had three mounting screws laid out so they all had purchase in solid wood), necessitating the purchase and installation of a drywall anchor. The fan support is made of super lightweight metal that feels extremely inadequate to support the heavy fan motor and cage. When I mounted the fan, the bolt that holds it to the fan support arm had to be tightened way more than I felt comfortable with to keep the fan from sagging; I fully expected the plastic part of the fan motor that sits in the support arm to snap before it held its position. Instructions were awful and I had to remove the back cage and rotate it 90 degrees before the front cage would align properly using the hook on the top and the screw on the bottom. Once that was aligned properly, I found the hook on the front cage was too skinny to fit over the frame of the back cage and enjoyed fighting with it for several minutes before I finally got it on far enough that I could stretch the cage down to get the bottom screw in. I fired the fan up to find there was essentially zero airflow once I was more than 3 feet from the fan; see my video showing the plastic sheet hanging limp three feet from the front of the fan on high. And no, the blade was not on backwards, as you can see in the video, placing the bag behind the fan does result in it being sucked against the cage. The lousy mounting equipment would make this a 3-star fan but the fact that it doesn't blow air makes it absolutely worthless. My old 16" fan cost 1/3 the amount, installed in 1/4 the time, and could be felt on the far side of my two-car garage. And here I thought I was upgrading with a bigger fan!

Works well for our outdoor gazebo. We take it inside during winter. Would recommend.

I use this fan to ventilate our covered BBQ area. Very happy with the purchase. Extremely quiet on low speed, and only a little louder (but very powerful) on high. Clearly a very well built commercial quality fan.

Excelente ventilador, silencioso y produce bastante aire. después de instalarlo rápido pedí otro mas ya que me gusto mucho.

I used this as a fan in our outdoor gazebo. Had to make a custom mount for it, but it was otherwise plug and play. Has three speeds, at the lowest it’s relatively quiet. At the higher speeds it’s noticeable, but certainly not loud. Would recommend it for anyone looking for a compact outdoor fan.

Bought this for our outdoor gazebo. Moves lots of air, keeps the patio cooled down. Hopefully it lasts over time, but would probably buy again even if I get just a few seasons from it.

Sería ideal que fuera control remoto
