Portable Fan Offers Quiet Operation

The Black Jack portable fan from Big Ass Fans is designed for versatility, with a 6.5-ft (2-m) frame that fits through interior doorways. The fan features a 25-ft., 7.6-m power cord that plugs into any 110-V power supply and draws only 7 amps at top speed, the company says. It is capable of moving air as far as 120 ft. (36.5 m), and a gearless direct-drive motor keeps operation quiet. Its variable-speed control enables fully adjustable airflow. Indoor/outdoor wheels with rubber tread can be locked to keep the fan in place, and its steel frame and cage make it suitable for a range of environments. The portable fan is also wet-rated and can be hosed down for easy cleaning.
