BILT HARD 6500 CFM 24in. High Velocity Industrial Wall Mounted Fan, 3-Speed Oscillating Heavy Duty Air Circulator for Commercial Use, Garage, Warehouse, Factory and Jobsite - UL Listed

Only time will tell, yet the Bilt Hard 24 inch oscillating fan has been helping to cool my 790 sf garage for a week now and I am impressed with it for the cost. If this fan holds up, it is a true value. Puts out volumes of air movement on low with medium being more air with minimal increase in noise. Low and medium has no vibration. I keep it on low as the air flow is more than sufficient, even with SC heat. High is a wind storm and creates fan grill cover vibration. The noise level is high on low/medium but not overly so for a 24 inch fan. The motor is quiet. For me it's that comfortable white noise that helps me sleep . The fan spreads the air movement across most of the garage space helping keep humidity lower in the total area while cooling me off at my workbench. On/Off and speeds are controlled by a pull chain on the fan. My experience with pull chains is that they tend to be the weak link on an appliance so I added a wireless outlet plug and mounted the transmitter at the door to the interior of house. No wiring needed and only $6.99 through Amazon, see pic. Now the pull chain is only to change speeds. The wireless on/off at the door is just convenient. The fan description says mount on a concrete wall (not Drywall). If you are an experienced DIY person drywall should not be an issue. I mounted it to a double stud (corner framing of garage inset from bay door opening). The fan is heavy and the mounting bracket is heavy steel so you need solid support for the lag screws. The steel bracket would crush the drywall when you tighten to the wall studs without solid backing between the drywall and steel bracket. I didn't have 1/2 x 4 wood lying around, yet had a piece of 3/16 x 8 piece of hardboard. I cut it into 2 equal pieces and glued them together to create 3/8 x 4 solid backing between the drywall and 2 inch wide steel bracket. You will need longer lag screws than what are supplied as they are meant to be mounted flat to concrete without passing through 11/16 drywall. I used 3/8 x 3 lag screws left over from framing our wood deck and they provided deep penetration into the studs. I believe the fan support is better than it would have been through concrete using the supplied concrete anchors and shorter lag screws. However, I would not mount it to a single stud on any wall that is shared by an interior wall. You may get a constant hum/vibration from a single stud that people in the interior room would hear. As with any DIY project, your end result should be safe to use and operate. If you're unsure don't do it. Get one or two 20 inch AC single position fans (they are not direct drive motors and could be noisier). The 20 inch mounts differently and I believe you could mount it between 2 -16" OC studs using a 2x4x36 as the actual support between studs.2 Year Update. Fan is still going strong and is in constant use 10 months of the year. Great Fan

These work great, really move the air in the shop and are not too loud. Customer service was great. I ended up buying a couple more, and may get more.

Easy to put together and Mount in carport. Puts out awesome breeze.

UPDATE: My initial 5 star review is below…I dropped my review from 5 stars to 1….I bought my fan April 1 2025. Loved it. Now HATE IT!!! While running the fan cuts off. Wont stay running longer than 2-3 minutes at a time. I noticed when you wiggle the cord the fan will cut back on. So theres a short in the cable somewhere up towards the motor or inside the motor where the cords attached. Also while the fan oscillates as it swings left to right the fan movement stops and stutters in place along the way. I called the number provided in the paper work and got no answer. I emailed the provided mail box with no answer. So after digging further into past reviews I noticed a lot of issues with this fan dying quickly or just being bad out of the box. It seems the only way to get a replacement is to send the fan back on the customers dime…I checked and it looks like $195 to send back which is more than I paid for it! My fan is paramount to running my business. The shop Im in has AC but a fan is a dire necessity due to the heat created in my shop. I was looking to buy several more of these fans for my shop but now Im glad I didnt. I might be out $182.74 but they are loosing out on way more money I would have spent on good quality fans.Original Review:So far I love this fan. I love how it oscillates. It is all metal with no plastic everywhere Ive looked. Its easy to assemble and the directions pretty clear. It was missing one small bolt washer and nut but I found one in my jars off nuts and bolts. I have very little room in the shop where I hung it on the wall and its just the right size not to be in the way. It has three speed settings and the noise really isnt very bad at all.

Not bad. Pretty strong. A bit expensive.

Excellent fan, therefore, I bought three of them for my 50X40 ft. garage and they work great.

The media could not be loaded. So far, I’m impressed with this fan. I’m handicap and cripple a little bit tough for me to mount but with grandson‘s help I got it mounted. It’s not real smooth on its oscillation, but it sure puts out the air. Everybody talks about how much noise it makes. I don’t notice it so much just a fan noise. It’s not that bad.

We have a similar fan from a few years ago that cost more than this one. It is still working. This fan appears to be well made with good materials. We installed it in about 45 minutes.We use it to blow air over our horse stalls to keep flies away. Noise is not a concern. It does make noise and if yoiu want a bug-free romantic evening on your patio this might not be the best choice. (You can always lather on repellent.)The instructions are a little skimpy and one of the diagrams shows how to make the fan stationary or oscillating. The drawning is tiny and the difference is the plasement of an arrow about 1/8" apart. It is kind of like puzzles where you look for the differences between two nearly identical pictures. ]It is up and running and the horses are happy.
