Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lakewood HV-9 3-Speed 9-Inch High-Velocity FanCustomer Review: Lakewood 9 Inch Fan Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent fan ... I now own 3 of them. They are small, compact, and most of all, very quiet.
Customer Review: Lakewood HV9 Summary: 1 Stars
A screw came out of the fan while the blade was spinning. Very dangerous. Thank God the blade was almost stopped but if it had happened at full speed, God only knows what could have happened. (I bought it from Rapid Supply, in Rye, New York, and they won't take it back.)
So I took out the four grille screws and replaced them with 'zip-ties' and the fan works like a charm. But you may have to cut the ties when you clean the blade (it is quite sharp!) and replace the ties (I call them "zit-pies"(!) (joke)) the fan works well; just remember to take those dangerous screws out and replace them with those 'zip-ties'.
Customer Review: POwerful, fully metal, some noise Summary: 5 Stars
This product was also sold in Walmarts about two years ago. These are powerful, all metal fans. On high they move a surprising amount of air, but they also generate some wind noise. You will need a screwdriver to take the fan apart to clean it, but they are COMPLETELY worth it. At my job the company has no ability to run decent HVAC systems. It is either 62 or 80 degrees. Everyone has heaters and fans. During the summer it go very bad and I ended up bringing three of these in to work because people couldn't believe how powerful they were and they fit on desks.
I've bought 7 of them for myself and others. Some have been running for the last two years without failures. I even use them during the winter against the radiators to evenly distribute heat around a big living room.
Customer Review: Unbelievable-especially for the size Summary: 5 Stars
The breeze that comes out of this fan is super-especially for its size. Will easily service a medium size bedroom.
It is high velocity and "blows" away larger turbo plastic monster fans.
Customer Review: Will this be the last fan I need to buy? Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the HV-9C, (C for chrome, it is made in black as well) about two years ago. It has been a great fan so far. I have had it turned on low all this time, (except for cleaning) and had not a bit of problem out of it. I needed a fan to use in a small extra bedroom (10x12) just to keep the air circulating and create a little bit of white noise. This fan does all that and it was the right price for me.
A local store had several fans out on display (running) and the HV-9C by Lakewood sounded nice and quiet. I didn't ever remember hearing of Lakewood before, but they say they have been in business for sixty years. I see why, my fan is built well and I expect it to last for many years.
I do clean it every now and then. I just vacuum the dust out of the grill and start it back up. I imagine one day it may need a bit of fan oil like some of my other fans but for now it is fine.
The HV-9C does just what you want a fan for, move air, but maybe just a bit better than most of the others out there.
