It's true you get what you pay for, whether it's cars, tv's or air. The Maxxair 4000 delivered maximum blowing capacity for a flooded basement. After returning home following a 2 week absence during subzero conditions, I was greeted with a broken supply line to the ice maker. The water had been leaking for days with over 3" of accumulation in our new log home's basement. We hadn't finished drywalling the basement and water was dripping off the ceiling like a rainforest. I rented 4, 1250 cfm units from the local rental agency until the 2 Maxxairs arrived 2nd day delivery from Amazon. I had the 4 rentals lined up on the wall directly below the broken line and the wall was still dripping wet after after 31 hours of blowing 82 degree air. Within 48 hours of using the Maxxairs the entire basement walls, ceiling,&floors were completely dry with no warping! The cost of 4 rental was just a bit more than the total cost of the 2 Maxxairs. Since the purchase, my neighbors used them for quick drying paint and I've leased them twice through word of mouth for other unlucky homeowners with waterdamage.

This blower really moves plenty of air. It seems well made as the housing is roto-molded polyethylene. It's a bit heavy though due to its large size, but what do you expect for a fan that moves this much air? The cord on it is actually 25 or 30 feet long (description says it's 10 feet long). After searching the net extensively, I came to the conclusion this blower was the best breeze for the buck. No other high output fan came close to the price of this one.

The intake grilles are plastic and the output grille is wire. The squirrel cage inside is stamped steel (as are most). There are 3 speeds and the only downside to this thing is that even at its lowest speed it's sometimes too much air for what I'm doing. I use it to ventilate my shop for welding fumes among other things.

Overall, an excellent buy since it's got Free Super Saver shipping (and I'm in Hawaii to boot!) Cost to ship this thing would be very high otherwise.

I bought this fan over 3 months ago. I got it within the time frame as promised. I turned it on and found it blowing things across the

floor. WOW. This fan is crazy. The fan is everything I hoped it would be. I did have a problem with the fan 3 months after I got it, the switch control

would not work. One phone call to customer service, and BAM!!!!!! problem fixed. They shipped me a replacement fan, and did it in one day. IF YOU EVER WANT

TO DEAL WITH A REAL COMPANY, THIS IS THE ONE. PROFESSIONAL, POLITE, AND THEY STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT.

THANKS AMAZON.

Honest reviews on MAXXAIR HVCF4000 4000 CFM High Heavy-duty Carpet and Floor Drying

This unit clearly moves a lot of air. However, the first unit I received had an off center squirrel cage blower and vibrated horribly, particularly at low speed. I had to spend $80 sending it back to the manufacturer who promptly replaced it with another unit under the warranty.

The second unit also has a vibration caused by a visibly off center blower. It was not as bad as the first one, but was not satisfactory. I wound up using a Rigid blower to dry a flooded basement, which is lower capacity, but which ran smoothly on all speeds with no vibration.

I was most disappointed with the MaxxAir PB 4000. Many dollars invested for an initially poor result. Update: The second unit was just replaced under the one year warranty and the manufacturer paid the return freight. The service level of the manufacturer has been outstanding. The manufacturer's customer representative was most helpful as we worked through this. I have now been served well by the manufacturer and am satisfied with the current replacement product.

not for use as a foam machine!!!! If you want to have foam pick the airfoxx or the maxflow. The angle is just too difficult.
