Bad item. Don't buy

I don't recommend this fan. When it worked it was great. After a few months maybe 16 hours it has a bad control switch and will not stay on

I have bought 6 fans to use in the kitchen of my restaurant. Get a few months of use and the fan blade breaks on them constantly.

Good fan but limited. Would not purchase again.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fan is ok. Disappointed they took away the plug in option on previous model which limits the versatility of this one. If I knew that I would not have bought two recently. If you don’t have a dedicated battery and the ability to charge it - ie if the power goes out - then you cannot use the fan. Makes no sense why they removed the option for plug in / dual system.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Short lived
on October 13, 2023
Posted by: NCR86
from Virginia
I’ve had this fan since July. I’ve only used it a handful of times. I keep it inside and has never been left in the weather or abused in any way. It ran fine for the first couple months and has now started shutting off after only running for a few seconds. I tried multiple fully charged 20v batteries but that is not the issue. The fan motor is faulty and does not work properly. I have just sent in email to Dewalt to see if they can remedy this issue. Fingers crossed
