John P Linnane: This fan definitely moves a lot of air. I installed it in my upstairs guest bedroom and this pull air throughout my townhome which is about 2,000 SF. I had to turn it off in the middle of the night because it was getting too cold in my house. Great to use if your night time temps and humidity are low. This works great during Minnesota spring and fall seasons.

JteamazonJteamazon: The fan is rated to move 3560/3120/2510 CFM. So at its slowest speed it is still moving more air than my former 20 inch box fan could on its highest speed. At high speed it seems to move even more air through my house (2,200 sq feet/two story) than I was getting before running two 20 inch box fans at their top speed. I have it installed in an upstairs window (exhaust) with a downstairs window open to pull cool air in. Standing at the bottom of my stairs I can feel the air moving as it's getting pulled up to the second floor and out. It's not a toss your hair around breeze, but with two 20 inch box fans before I couldn't feel the air moving at all.

Lowes suggests a whole house fan able to move about 4400 CFM for a house my size. This gets my close enough without spending over a thousand dollars on equipment and more for labor to wire and fit a larger whole house fan through my ceiling and venting up into my attic space. I'd buy this again in an instant considering that alone. I recommend it if it it's a good fit for your windows.

Noise level: not bad considering the work it's doing. You wouldn't want it cranking in the room your watching tv in for sure.

sarah_yummy88: I love this fan..people wrote it made too much noise..but nothing unbearable only when you put it on the max settings. It cools tje room down fairlywell.its not an air conditioner But it one of the best fans...I did not have any motor issues yet..like that sound others reported...it easy to mount and stay very sturdy..no issues here except the price is too high for a fan might as well get an air conditioner with that price..

T.H.: Works really well. Vents entire house as advertised. Low setting is very quiet.

Amazon Customer: It has metal skirts and its noisy and rattles. I also have a 16" which is a lot quieter but less rugged built.

Mrs. Gee: I grew up in a small house with no central air conditioning and our only means of cooling the house was a 25" Air King box fan, circa 1960s. By the time of my parents last move that original fan went missing, and although it was super ugly and dirty, dented, missing carry handle and all its buttons, the speed controls worked great as long as a screwdriver was nearby, and it was mighty morphin powerful! But was it loud! People who have bought this model 9166, complain about its loudness (and it is loud) have no idea how loud those old metal box fans used to be unless they owned them; but by comparison this baby is nearly silent. However, this fan doesn't begin to compare to anything on the market today, especially something that could be picked up at a local big box store for a comparable price or less.

I purchased this fan in May 2016 on the recommendation of my father who has been happily using his similar Air King model (version previous to this) for the last 10-12 years without incident yearly from mid-Spring through early Autumn. Prior to buying I read every single 1-3 star review and agonized for days over the decision to blow $150 on a fan! A fan! (I really wanted to...
