VEVOR Portable Utility Blower Fan, 12 Inch 585W 3198 CFM Heavy Duty Cylinder Axial Exhaust Fan with 33ft Duct Hose, Industrial Ventilator for Ventilating Workshops, Confined Space

Powerful, can’t beat the price

Big fan, big air movement. Does exactly what I baught it for! Well made. Got some heft too it. Seems like it will last a long time. 10/10 happy with my purchase.

Excellent build quality. It moves a lot of air very quickly. On or off, no adjustable speeds. Pretty loud.

I read all the reviews, and almost passed on this blower. However the price was right, and if I had back luck, I could send it back. Here is what I found. Packaging / damage: Duct was double boxed, and the blower was padded with EPS foam blocks. Arrived with no damage, and a nice paint finish. Duct: The duct is actually half the weight of the whole (heavy) package. Adequate materials, good spring, should last a while. Blower Housing: Real Steel, good welds, decent handle, hardware is tight, but check and re-tighten as needed. FAN: made of substantial polymer, and balanced. Six blades, turn at high speed. Yes, it blows the correct direction now. Cord: heavy cord about six feet long. It has a strain relief molded into it. The strain relief is held by a steel plate, and won't come out, under normal use. The plug incorporates a safety contactor. You must reset the contactor each time you plug the blower into electricity. If the power is interrupted, while running, the fan will not just restart when the power is restored. You must push the reset after the power is restored. I think, but do not know, it may also be a GFCI (?). Motor: The motor may be the weak link. It is physically small , and takes some time to get the fan up to full speed. This kind of motor is known as "Air Over". That means the air the fan moves, also cools the motor. Result is, you cannot restrict the air flow. If you do, the motor will overheat. I hope it has a thermal protection switch, but I did not look for it. Performance: The blower by itself, moves some high velocity air. You could use it as a leaf blower. Air Volume is pretty good without the hose. The static pressure could be higher however. When you add the hose, the air volume goes down significantly. I bought the long hose, but buy the short hose if it suits your purpose, because more air moves through a shorter hose. Keep the hose as short and straight as possible. I do not think the motor is totally enclosed, so using this as a dust blower will reduce its life. There are fan guards at both ends of the blower, but small pebbles cold get sucked through them, and damage the fan blades. Outside, maybe put it on a square of plywood, rather than the ground. Main Question is, how long will the motor last, because everything else seems solid. Oh, and yes, it is loud. Not unexpectedly loud, because it is a high speed fan / blower. Putting the duct on it helps a little.

This thing is a work horse and keeps my spray booth well ventilated!

I work with a lot of demo and drywalls so this was the perfect addition to team to get all the excess dust out of the home that we are working at.

This fan it pretty bad at everything it does.1. it blows air at the edges of its body at the intake. This results in some heavy air turbulence, and a very unclean environment.2. it randomly shuts off, and will turn back on after a while.3. the ducting blows off easily, and MUST be taped on.4. it is loud, and has bad motor whine.

The media could not be loaded. Just bought it so I can’t really comment on the durability but I have purchased other fans like this one. This one was the cheapest and came with the duct so I am Skeptical about How well it would work and the quality, but it actually moves a lot of air. I would definitely buy again! If there’s no update review then that means the Quality was great too
