Where would you use this fan the most in your shop or garage? On the floor, a table, or somehow mount it to the wall?

Looks like it would be a beast at the camp site this summer.

I'm bringing this fan to work with me to keep cool. I'm gonna need a bigger van though because I'm running our of room with all my Milwaukee tools.

Sounds like a good plan, Ron! I'm excited to see Milwaukee expand into this large size fan.

I got this about two weeks ago. I love it. I also tried Rigid and Ryobi and this is hands down way better. Not having to loosen knobs to adjust and having the switch in the front makes all the difference. I also feel like this can take a lot more abuse than others. Having the battery on top instead of in the back increases the suction from the back. The Rigid is rated at 400 more cfm and this pulls more air from the back. Price is $250, but it is worth just for the impact rated and durability over its competitors.

Thanks for sharing that info. I haven't had a chance to see the Ridgid fan yet.

It might be worth it to keep a cool this summer.

I could see this as a great thing for camping or tailgating. If a campground doesn't have hookups you need to run a generator at specific times and the rest of the time you are left with no AC. Running that on low with the big battery you would easily stay cool on a warm night.

Yes, I agree. I recall a few times camping in a tent and it was so hot and humid. This fan would've been perfect.

Hey mark I just thought of what to do see if you can get a wind guage to have a proof of what it blows and put the guage to the small m18 fan to

Great idea! I was looking at those for testing leaf blowers, but they don't go that high. They would work on fans like this though. I'll add that to my list of things to do.

I bought one of these last week for my work - i work in an auto shop. Its definitely expensive - $250 normally but since I got it off a tool truck, it was $350. Its expensive but its 100% better than my old pedestal fan or my 2 blower fans that i cant change th3 angle. Plus, the air spred? From the milwaukee fan great too - its really wide so you dont necessarily have to have it directly aimed at you. I do wish they had a cheaper option with just a plug in, not a battery, and maybe a mister addon would be nice. Use a m12 or something for it 😂

Dude STAY out of the tool trucks, they are going to make you poor. Perfect example you paid an extra $100 just to have the fan a little sooner, instead of saving a little each week until you got it. Those guys are just like a rolling credit card company, stay away, I promise you'll be better off.

I've compared the other 2 M18 blowers, but not the new one you're mentioning. It looks like a nice option at only 54 decibels.

Is this fan like a bigger version of the small one because the small one is a beast. I'm very curious because you can only take ones opinion on air. My definition of a good amount of air might be different than yours. I can't feel the air through the video

@MarkThomasBuilder

The original M18 fan definitely moves air so you feel it. This one is a nice upgrade from that. Hopefully the streamers blowing in the timelapse and the sawdust test help to show you the power of the wind. I'm not sure what else I could do, but I'm open to suggestions.

@@MarkThomasBuilder thanks. I've had bad experiences though. I had the small Milwaukee before and someone had a vs video between the both and he told me the Dewalt blew more amd I ordered it and was displeased. The specs had more cfm but the force of the air is more out of the Milwaukee. I was just wondering if this new one was a larger of the small one cause the small one is a beast

@MarkThomasBuilder

The design on the new 18" fan is slightly different fan design than the other Milwaukee ones, but it does move the air very nice. I can't seen any issues that you would have with this. The hybrid design is better too, because you don't need to rely on storing an AC adapter. It just uses an extension cord.

@weldonpinder7295

@MarkThomasBuilder what I should've asked from the start is does the air move more directly at you or broadens out from the sides. That's where the cfm deception kicks in because if a fan has a higher cfm than another I'll be like ill get that one but I'm not concerned about cfm

they needed to put the plug right on top. why would I have to bend over everytime

About time they caught up to Ridgid and Ryobi ffs. Milwaukee is so far behind on so many tools compared to Ryobi and Ridgid that it's patnetic. Knowing Milwaukee this is likely way overpriced too.
