Made Cheap and It’s Out of Balance,
I just installed it on the wall in my shop. The cheap plastic and the tiny motor were the first clues. Installed it wobbles like it has one fan blade missing. I thought I was buying a ‘name brand’ fan that I could expect 5 or more years of service from. I doubt this fan will last 1 year.
The Air King brand used to mean quality. No longer.

|Excellent Fan,
I usually read a few of the best ratings but ALL the worst ratings before buying a product. I did so when purchasing this fan. So when I read about the poor quality and/or noise level issues in some ratings, I thought hard before purchasing anyway. But since there didn’t seem to be a good alternative for my need, I went ahead with the purchase.
My experience, however is 5*. The fan is quiet, smooth, and moves a LOT of air. It’s as if I got a different model than the 1* rating customers received. We use ours for our garage. Mounting was a breeze … 2 holes mounts a simple bracket on which the fan hooks/hangs. The fan oscillates with the push of a button on the motor housing (typical functionality) and also tilts down if you remove a quarter-sized plastic screw cover to expose a phillips adjustment screw. But best of all, there is a pull cord that hangs down from the fan which allows you to cycle through High-Medium-Low-OFF settings without climbing on a stool or jumping up to reach the controls (yes, we have ours mounted near the ceiling and we are not blessed with natural born height).
Bottom line: a great fan for mounting on a wall, especially up high … quiet, smooth, adjustable, and MOVES air.

|Deception at its BEST!,
This Fan shakes and vibrates on the high speed extremely violent. Using it on “Low to Med Speeds” are somewhat acceptable with less shake and vibration. I should of returned it when I read another reviewers mention the same issue on the Air King Site Reviews. Be advised the fan blades are 16 inches the only thing that’s 18″ is the Flimsy Air Plastic Fan Guard….which is the source of the vibration and problem. I am not a Fan Manufacturing Designer, but wouldn’t it make more sense to do the the inner fan guard in metal then in flimsy plastic if your trying to fool the buying public? And not to try to pass on a smaller Fan as a 18″ buy employing a bigger Fan Guard?? Air King really,” What Were You Thinking” when you manufactured this fan for the American market passing it of as an 18″ Fan when in all actuality its a 16′ fan with an over size guard? Maybe the excessive shaking serves a purpose….Like a visually larger fan with NOISE due to the big Grill!!! Don’t buy this worthless junk. I’ll never use mine past the Medium Setting, which is still bad, but I can always use it to advise my visitors and friends what a the Great “Air King” is doing to the view of the America Production/Design! A Smaller Fan blade unit with a smaller motor and an over size Rear Plastic Fan Guard with a Metal Front Grill to add to the illusion. …..Damn Shame.
