Very cool, not cheap, that’s Milwaukee. Good motors and fans are not inexpensive. Get what you pay for.

Love this fan. Use it inside my house to circulate the air and also used it when I went camping last week! Great to have inside the tent, no heat at all

Legit looking at it for camping .

I have one and can attest…. Fan is awesome and worth it

If I was in the Milwaukee platform instead of DeWalt & FLEX, I’d say it’s worth $250. It looks like a great fan. Nice/helpful review.

$250.00 seems about right for Milwaukee. The fan is sweet! Plus it’s from big Red. Gotta get one!

worth every penny.

I love mine. Been using it with a 6ah. Relatively quiet and pushes out a whole lot of air.

I got this for work last week. I work in an auto shop. Its awesome. Not super loud, evem on the highest setting, alot of movement. I just leave it plugged in. I just leave it in a corner so i habe some room to walk around and whatnot. I paid more than the 250 but honestly, its worth it.

How strong is it ?

Torn between this fan,got Milwaukee batterys. Or new Ryobi 40v fan would need to use my battery inverter.

box fan with a top off...nice

Question, does it drop speed on all 3 settings on battery power or it drops only on max? Might be because the power supply is pushing 20-21volts and battery sits at 18V after a few minutes of use after full charge.

It drops speed on all settings, but it is easiest to hear on video on high. I believe your idea on the power supply is correct.

Handle should've come with a rafter hook

Could u test the Ridgid 18" and Ryobi U could have a "FAN OFF" 😅

You know I think ur the man to ask...been subscribed to ur channel forever. I'm a mobile forklift mechanic...I work out of a 2023 promaster...I want this fan however it's so damn big. You think it's worth going through the trouble of storing it vs the old m18 which is much smaller ? I guess I could store it on the passenger seat...lol

If by old M18 fan you mean the 9 or 10 inch model, yes, I think this is worth it. If you need air, this fan will move it. Build a box and store it on the trailer somewhere. Maybe the ceiling? The old one is less then 25 percent of this one IMHO. But it is larger. If you want air movement and can figure it out, do it. You are who this is meant for.

@@WorkshopAddict …..thanks brother

Are those red dividers in the barrel for aiming the air in a straight direction because some of the barrel fans push the air in a open direction. The small m18 fan is like that it blows a ton of air like a perfect straight direction because of its design

@@WorkshopAddictis there a fan that just focuses the air in a straight line or point? I work in a huge warehouse so i dont care for room circulation. I bought a 1600cfm 10in fan from home depot and i could not feel the air at all even at about 15ft away. Seems that fan was best for a room.

Battery Question: There a good number of negative reviews on the 12 amp Milwaukee battery. That's my only concern about this fan. I want the longer run time with the more powerful battery but it doesn't sound reliable. Would you comment on this, please?

How would you compare this fan to the old ryobi 18 inch fan

You mean the latest 20'' they released with the rugged wheels? That one is about 6,300 CFM on high. The previous 40v 14" aircannon is 2,000 CFM.

Tough sell when a basic corded fan can be bought for 1/4 the cost. Cordless is nice for short periods in unpowered environments. Not charging the battery while on corded power is a huge miss.

Apparently, you do not live/work in the ever sunshine State of Florida, because if you did, you wouldn’t flinch at the cost. 👍🏾😂

Milwaukee is exausting the m18 battery platform and are depending on the 12ah and high current forge way too heavily. Makita did the dual battery 36v forever ago, and then made the new one battery xgt platform, dewalt made flexvolt, and metabo hpt has multivolt. Flex is 24v so out the gate they have 20% more voltage to play with. Even tti's own ryobi went 36v on their big stuff. If milwaukee is going to stick to m18 they need to make a lot more dual battery tools, thats how makita got away with it for so long. Im suprised they didnt manage a dual voltage battery, there must be a hard limiter in the architecture of the m18 that prevents it from doing voltage swapping like flexvolt or multivolt

3400 CFM......Hmmmmmm a little disappointedI keep MY EGO 56V 18" Misting Fan (5000 CFM)

1year warranty for $250😂

250USD 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And they can't incorporate a slow charger in it...

I’ve been impatiently waiting for your review on this product since its release, excellent review as always. 👍🏾🫡
