I bought this fan for two reasons: Firstly for mosquito control, it works quite well on a calm day. Secondly, cooling down in the garage when working with cars, trucks and agricultural machinery in summer. The fan works best in the garage. I have a 36" Lakewood and another 42" fan. When there is a breeze outside, the fans do not work well or at all. They don't move as much air as I expected. Some of the grilles reduce airflow and I feel like the fan blades need to be at a higher angle. We value MADE in USA! I wish Lakewood had built a 48 inch fan.
