Air King 24" 1/4 HP Quiet Oscillation W

purchased for the nursery at my church...works great and everybody loves it..It is very powerful yet very quiet. It is heavy and as a result is a bit tricky to install. I attached an 8" by 18" piece of 2x8 lumber to the wall using tapcons and then attached the fan to the board using lag screws.While no cheap if you want a large, high volume fan that is quiet and is not going to quit this is the one....

Air Kings are made like a tank. Read “Steve’s” review from 2012, because he is spot on. Easy to install, and does the job. It is an industrial fan so it being quiet is relative. South Louisiana or muggy climates, it’s a must. Anchor bolts not included. Enjoy.

Upon unboxing I first noticed the box states assembled in the US, the box for the motor states made in China, and then the sticker on the motor states assembled in the US. That is quite a tongue twister, but I assume it means that they assemble the endbell in the states. (A nearly pointless value add that allows then to claim the fan was “Assembled in the US”.)With that gripe out of the way, the problem I have is the utterly horrible mig welds and weld placement that are used to attach the mounting components to the stator (case) of the motor. The beads are ropy at best, show signs of porosity, and on the 90 degree t-joints there are welds that completely missed the joint or were so far off that there is very little penetration. The lap welds were not much better. For a $350 fan that is really unbecoming.Secondly for the cost, and to advertise as a “reduced noise fan” having riveted fan blades is another letdown. Those should have been either a one piece design, or welded on.Aside from the complaints above, I have it installed and am happy with the oscillation feature and cfm output. Vibration isolation/damping is what I would call average, definitely not impressive. This is my second AirKing fan, and I had no complaints with the previous one. I may look elsewhere for the next.

These fans look great. They were not difficult to install on my wall. I will say that they move a ton of air on high. The fan motors are quiet but the fan blades themselves create a lot of noise when on high.

Installed the fan in my garage, love it!

I mounted this fan in my garage to circulate the hot humid air and it is working as supposed to. It helps since I live in Florida where the summer time is unbearable. The downside of this fan is don’t has remote

Within 30 days of installing the chain broke at the main connection. Second AirKing Fan to do this.

Seems solid, well-made. Easy to hang on concrete wall. Wish it had a remote, though. Be sure to use the thickest lag bolts available for concrete mounting. Largest toggle bolts if MUST be drywall mounting. Screwing into studs w/lock washers best (for vibration absorbtion) IMHO.
