Axial's are almost a MUST have for commercial work.More stuff to consider like, do you primarily do residential or commercial?

If it is a little slow at the moment, I have my girl working on it tomorrow.
Dri Eaz claims 885 CFM on the Velo. Phoenix has a similar model called the Airmax and claims 925 CFM both say they use 1.9 amps. These units benefits are their size and space saving storage but they only produce about a third of the CFM as the other style air movers. Axials work great for high CFM 3000-3700 at low amps (2.6). They are great for dying higher up a wall; better than a snail fan in that respect. Snail fans (2400- 2700 CFM ) are good for floating carpet or floors but many have greater amp needs than an axial. The low profile fans, or radial as Phoenix calls theirs, seems to be a niche product. If you want CFM pick the appropriate snail or axial for the job. If all you're concerned with is space then get a low profile unit. I've being drying a long time and I personally look at them and wonder WTF? Just MHO but not mine alone. I spoke with one of the major manufacturers top rep (won't embarrass them by using a name) and they couldn't believe their company bothered making them.what about the velo fans how do they work? how much cfm?
