*update 2*Moving to 5 stars.It's great in my garage and outside with my rabbit hutch.I'm buying another, although the price jumped up.****update 1*We ended up tilting it up and to the right of what we would otherwise center with, in this case, the bed. When we did that, there was markedly better air movement. When we centered the fan on the bed it was gentile, but the periphery apparently is stronger than center. My previous fan threw lots of air straight on, this one doesn't once you get 8' or so away, it is then is best felt on the sides.It may stay a bedroom fan for now, after all.-----For outdoor usage, I don't know, but presume it will work well. This may be where I move this to.For indoor use, I have not tried as a garage fan yet, though that will be the next place I try it.I bought this to use indoors, as I enjoy lots of air moving when I go to bed.Up close, this fan moves a lot of air, and it feels markedly cooler than not in front of the fan.However, when I move back 8 to 10', it's more of a gentle breeze. I see curtains moving (not wildly, but gently) and I know it's moving air, but it's not forceful or even sort of strong.I played with the angles to see if that made a difference and only recently noticed, while standing directly in front of the fan there appear to be dead zones where I can't feel the air, but feel it very strongly a few inches to the side.So it appears to create a vortex that I haven't figured out how to live up so that I get maximum air flow in the bed.Because of this, I'll be switching back to my vornado which seems to throw more air in a directional way than this does.That said, I think this moves more air, altogether, in the room than the Vornado, but it moves it in places that are irrelevant for my desired needs.The build quality seems good and the manufacturer has answered questions saying it can be an outside fan.If it doesn't work as a garage fan, I'll use it outside, as it'll probably fill the needs I have out side, perhaps for our bunnies in their hutch or on my deck.It is not overly loud to me even in the highest setting. It's not quiet, but it's not louder than you'd expect a fan pushing lots of air to be. It has not bothered either my wife or me when going or staying asleep. The sound sounds like pushing lots of wind rather than a loud motor.

I’ve been really impressed with the CLIVING 20” Floor Fan (Model ILG8F20). It’s lightweight but powerful, providing strong airflow that cools down a room quickly. The build feels sturdy, and it’s easy to move around as needed. Great for garages, workshops, or anywhere you need serious ventilation. Definitely worth the price!

good air flow even at lower speed but a bit noisy

Great fan. If you’re someone who likes a good fan for white noise to sleep with, this one is awesome. Very good sound and moves a lot of air.

It certainly moves a lot of air and seems well made, but do not plan on having a conversation anywhere within about 30' of it. I can see it being useful in a barn or a greenhouse, but it's pretty useless for a porch or patio. I had already disposed off some of the packaging before I realized just how loud it is, or I would have returned it. As it is, I'll just keep it in storage in case I have a flooded space that I need to dry out.ETA: As it turned out, this was more useful than I had anticipated. I had to do some work (alone) in the basement on one of the really hot days, and this fan was just the trick for keeping it cool enough to function. As if that wasn't enough to make me eat my words, I then had my water heater catastrophically fail and flood the basement. This fan was, in fact, perfect for speeding up the drying process once I got all the water out. So I'm adding back a star. It's still too loud to be used as a porch or patio fan, but it kicks butt as an industrial fan.

This is a great fan at a good price. It works great and it moves lots of air!

the fan arrived at my house on the may 2 which was 4 days earlier than it was suppose to, looks good and has plenty of blowing power, great for my garage

I looked at about 8 different fans before settling on this one. I have hot flashes and absolutely cannot sleep without a fan and A/C on at night. When I say this fan blows air, I mean it! Even on the lowest setting, it's blowing my sheets and comforter off me. I have no issue with the noise level because the sounds helps me sleep.
