Simple Deluxe 12 Inch 3-Speed High Velocity Heavy Duty Metal Industrial Floor Fans, Black

Words can’t express how happy I am with these fans! I purchased the set of 2.Our rented apartment is just under 1k sq ft and has wall AC units. Running them brings the electric bill sky high and does little to indoor temps because of excessive humidity that the wall AC units can’t seem to control. Since covering up and refusing I use the AC wall units, I’ve looked into so many options. I avoided fans because of the insistence that fans don’t cool spaces. (Given my experiences with various home fans, this was true.)After searching some industrial fans and seeing reviews claiming actual cooling effects from these, I figured why not? Our apartment has been 80 degrees all week with no reprieve during 60 degrees evenings outside. If nothing else, maybe the humidity could be addressed.Within 5 minutes of easy set up and turning the fans on high, the apartment feels liveable again. If you’re like me concerned about the qualitative data, all 3 thermostats I use across the apartment all showed a 1 degree temperature drop in those same 5 minutes.As for sound, yes “like a small aircraft taking off” does accurately describe the *sound*. (They are literally propellers moving at industrial speed.) But the volume is a far cry from that of an airplane. Rest assured that the decibels are safe and low enough for comfort.I highly recommend giving these a try for increasing air flow and cooling down home spaces.
