Tornado 20 Inch Pro Series High Velocity Oscillating Waterproof Outdoor Wall Mount Fan For Industrial, Commercial, Residential Use 3 Speed 5250 CFM UL Safety Listed

Great fan!! Moves a ton of air! I feel Tornado makes a commercial fan at a residential price. Buy

The first fan worked so well I bought a second one. But... the details matter for installation to get the most out of the product. I have uploaded some photos and a video to help. If you are considering getting the 20" model, a few things you should know: 1) Check the box contents carefully. The fan blade set screw tends to vibrate out during shipping and can be loose in the box. Check the box carefully, as some reviewers said it was missing, but it was likely at the bottom of the box under a cardboard flap. 2) The installation instructions are weak at best. Assembly is pretty self explanatory, but fan blade orientation matters... a lot. Please refer to my pictures, but the set screw side of the fan blade should be towards the motor (back of the fan). Or else the fan moves virtually no air (which other reviewers also complained about). 3) Fans are a bit noisy on High mode, but for my garage I needed air flow, sound impact was secondary. I can turn the music up over the fan noise regardless.

Great air flow. Use it in my garage. Attached to 2x4 in wall. The mounting bracket is designed for studs embedded in the wall. To attach using lag bolts, you have to install the middle hole first then the top and bottom.

Doesn’t come with the bolts needed to attach to anything. Electrician coming today to run electrical and I don’t have what I need to attach to the wall. Disappointing

I wanted to like the fan but couldn’t. It moved air well and was not too noisy. But the cheap plastic bracket that is used to adjust the fan angle facing position is terrible. After mounting it on the wall we wanted to change the angle of the fan. After loosening it and pointing it down, you only have 3 fixed adjustment points. You can’t just pick an angle you want it to point. After adjusting it a couple times to find an angle that would work, the cheap plastic bracket wouldn’t stay tight enough to keep the weight of the fan from sliding down to its lowest angle. I couldn’t tighten it enough without breaking it. The bolt to tighten is a shoulder bolt seated in a soft plastic bracket. It just kept sliding down and blowing air towards the ground.

I would have given it 5 stars except the directions were lacking and it didnt come with mounting screws, one trip to the hardware store and $1.50 later, problem solved. It's pretty straight forward to assemble. Other than the fan blade. The tightening screw goes towards the rear motor compartment rather than towards the front. I found this out after reading another review, simple fix, take off the front cage, flip the blade and put the cage back on (I posted a picture of proper blade screw placement). It's a powerful fan, I thought low was high. It's not super quiet, but I can still hold conversations with it running.

Great fan, easy to install, looks like it will last a long time.

Purchased this fan a year ago. It is installed under a roof, with minimal exposure to rain. It has rusted. Pictures included.
