It will put out much more air and is MUCH quieter. I have this one and absolutely love it. It was $50 at Sam's http://laskoproducts.com/fans/model_4900.html They don't carry the same one anymore, but they have a similar one, http://laskoproducts.com/fans/model_4900.html Lasko also makes the little yellow Stanly one, but I think that one is overpriced for it's size.

My friend has a cheaper home one and you can basically shoot a jet stream of air wherever you want and it travels, his room wasn't big enough to fully test the distance air laser is a good way of putting it.

It is like an air laser. Pretty quiet too. I have a regular vornado and it does direct air amazingly well. It is like an air laser. Pretty quiet too.

You can swing a real industrial fan for that kind of scrape. But I am really excited about the prospect of needing a fan in my workshop. C'mon Spring.

Even better a box fan is easy to throw a paper filter on to act as a simple filtration system. Does this direct air very tightly to dry floors or something to that ilk? I don't get a $100 fan for use in the shop. Don’t get me wrong I like a good tool, and the vornado has a great set of features, cleaning, power cable management, tilt, etc.

When I saw they made a fan/heater I bought one from OSH for about $80. It works well. I noticed the Special Effects department started using them a few years ago.

Makes work in a tight space a lot more bearable. This thing pays for itself the first time you’re in the garage under the car and it’s 85-90 degrees. Makes work in a tight space a lot more bearable.

They aren't cheap but they are worth it. I’ve had a smaller Vornado fan for several years and it’s held up very well. They aren’t cheap but they are worth it.
