Mighty Mini
Rating by : Erik Johnson "Not a Noob Not an Expert",

Made of that impossible to crack molded polyethylene like the big commercial units. Not high impact plastic. Starts out as a baby with a small whine or faint scrape. (I have two of these). They get quiet when the burrs wear off the squirrel cage inside. Move a LOT of air, mine are 3 years old; so MANY uses.
They'd be worth at least $100-120 to me if I knew how awesome they are.

Awesome little air mover

This little baby puts out more air than all the mini squirrel cage type fans we have ever tried. Super light, small, fits anywhere and does a great job. Cheapest out there too as far as cost goes, but the most well put together air mover for the mini type. Great job Shop Vac!

Only rated blower of this size/price

So, it's July 1st and air conditioning goes out for part of my office. The part which happens to contain the servers & telecom gear. Building maintenance looked at the unit, contractor looked at the unit -- it needs to be replaced...but given the July 4th holiday, it's not going to happen for at least a week.

Hence, my purchase of these blowers. I'm using these blowers to move air from areas which have working air conditioning to areas where the dead air conditioner is located. So far, so good. Was 86F in the warmest office, now 78F and comfortable. I'd imagine after a few more hours it'll be even closer to normal.

Noise levels: High is louder than acceptable for any great length of time in an office. That said, it's only wind/air movement noise with no motor whine whatsoever. Not an objectionable noise, but it's definitely there. Medium is far quieter and still moves a good amount of air. This is the speed we're leaving them on. Even our most ADHD employee hasn't yipped about the noise on medium.

Air movement: Excellent on all levels. It truly pushes air a long distance compared to traditional axial fans, like box & table fans. Even 20+ feet away I can still feel it strongly.

Durability: Time will tell. I'll certainly post updates if/when they happen. The housing is made of a nice thick-ish polycarbonate in high-vis yellow, so no extra caution signs are needed. It's someone's own fault if they happen to trip over it.

Size: It's difficult to tell from the photo, but these are substantially smaller than the commercial units, about half the size. Those put out anywhere from 2000-4000 CFM of air vs. this one's 500 CFM, but bigger isn't always better. Bigger = noisier and in an office, the higher CFM would cause papers to fly everywhere. This little guy can be stored just about anywhere and doesn't weigh a ton. It does put out far more than the Lasko models I've seen in the various stores.

In previous times, I used to keep a few old central AC blowers around for work like this and just soldered/welded some chicken wire over the various openings to keep fingers out of danger. This looks far better and is overall quieter. Certainly safer!

Update: 1 month later
Still 5 stars. After 2.5 weeks, the AC was finally replaced at my office. Wrapped the cord up on this little guy.... then the rains came and started seeping in through the floor joists. Back in service this little guy went again, this time drying carpets. Great little blower. I'm very glad we've got a couple in our maintenance inventory now.
