Pelonis Box Fan 20 Inch – Adjustable 3 Speeds For the Perfect Noise Level for Sleeping – 4 Blade Technology Provides Powerful Airflow to Beat the Heat – Sleek Design, Lightweight, Durable, Black

I recently picked up this new Pelonis 20 inch box fan from Amazon. My previous box fan was a Lasko model that had been purchased many years ago. The Lasko box fan served me well over a long period of time, however the motor was pretty much shot after so many years of usage.I live in the California high desert and in the summertime it gets very hot at my elevation of 2,500 feet. A 20 inch box fan works better for cooling than the smaller sized portable fans that I have. This Pelonis fan provides more air circulation than a standard 20 inch box fan which I find very useful for my exercise routines inside the house. All I have for home cooling is a swamp cooler which is not as effective as an air conditioner.This Pelonis fan is quiet on the low setting and at this setting it's suitable for nighttime bedroom use. The high setting is loud and so is the medium setting. Considering the above average cooling power that this fan provides, it's understandable why the motor would be a bit noisy on the higher settings.There is no carry handle on this Pelonis model, and the control knob is mounted to the frontal area of the fan. My last Lasko box fan had a handle and speed controls mounted on the top, which is standard for most box fans. The reason this Pelonis model has no handle is so that it can be placed for a window installation. This also explains why the control knob is mounted in the front. I went over the instructions and they say do not use the fan for widow installations due to problems with rain, so in the instructions they contradict themselves considering the fan was engineered for window installations.A standard economy 20 inch box fan will usually run about $20 dollars, however this Pelonis box fan is considerably more than that in purchase price. In the hot desert climate that I live in it was a wise decision to spend the extra money for a box fan that has a more powerful motor and greater cooling capacity than the other economy box fan models that are in the $20 dollar price range.

I love it. It is very loud, but I use it to cancel out noise while I sleep during daylight hours. It has excellent airflow and gives off a great breeze. It has a solid build and is the average box fan size. I would buy it again if I needed another one.

Keeps the room cool, and you didn't have to assemble anything. It was smaller than anticipated, but it's still very effective. However, it is OBNOXIOUSLY loud. My roommate hates it, and finds the sound grating, but if my door is shut they don't hear it as much. I like it as background noise to sleep to, since it is rhythmic, but otherwise it does get irritating.

Works great and compared to the other ones, its decently quiet as well. Dont expect a fully silent fan though. On the 3rd speed ,it does make some noise but so do other similar fans.

The media could not be loaded. Pros and Cons of the Box Fan2 PROS:It’s safe!The grating protects the nose of my curious cat (He’s the 7.5 pound star of the video!) from the moving blades. A small finger can fit through, though, so supervise young children if they are near it while it’s plugged in. Its light weight means I don’t worry I will hurt my clumsy @$$ by dropping it if I carry it room-to-room.It’s cooling!Given fans MOVE air rather than change temperature, my goal was to use the fan on low setting during winter and high setting during summer to suck temperature-controlled air from the living room (where the electric space heater and air conditioner are) to propel down the hall to other rooms. The fan said, “I’m not like other fans that adhere to physics. Screw science!” Within 20 minutes on the low setting, it cooled my hallway down 2 degrees according to my home’s thermostat while the heater was on. I expect it would have cooled further if I had left it on longer at a higher speed. This fan will do well cooling a space in summer even though it doesn’t help circulate heat in winter.2 CONS:It’s costly!$45 full-price is expensive for a plastic box fan with 3 speeds and no other features. It’s like a snobby restaurant that charges lofty prices for disappointing small food portions. Fortunately, I bought my fan used at half-off from Amazon Resale, and it came clean in working condition.It’s loud!Like most fans, it can be hard to hear a live person or recorded show while sitting near it on high speed. (The video features the low setting, so triple that noise in your mind, or watch videos in other people’s reviews where they go through the settings.) It’s better to leave it on the other side of a room while it’s on high unless you’re doing a silent solitary activity, like sleeping, gaming, or reading. Alternatively, sit near it on purpose while people are in the room if you want to tune them out!CONCLUSION:The safe and effective box fan is worth buying at a discounted sale price, but it doesn’t have enough features to warrant purchasing at its high full price.

This Pelonis box fan is the perfect combination of sleek design and powerful performance. Its clean, modern look fits beautifully in any room, while the large fan blades deliver strong, refreshing airflow. The simple control knob makes it easy to switch between multiple speeds, and the lightweight build means it’s easy to move wherever you need it. Quiet, efficient, and stylish—this fan is a must-have for staying cool in the summer!
