Garage wall fan

Updated: October 2026

A bedroom fan will not do a shed, and a loud metal head will not do a bedroom. You are looking at a garage wall fan for a workshop, a home gym, or a small shop. In this amazon.co.uk set that job is three metal rows: the RAM 18 inch at £60.99, the Air Pro 20 inch at £89.99, and the AVUXOR 20 inch at £149.99. The [wall fan comparison](/hub/portable-heaters/wall-fan) holds the table. The Products Compared editorial team used the listings and HSE guidance. We did not measure a gym.

A garage fan is a different head

The domestic size on this shelf is a 16 inch plastic head around 40–50 W. A garage, gym, or shop in the same set is an 18 or 20 inch metal head at 7–9.2 kg. Noise figures are claims, not a test beside your bench. The RAM 18 inch states 45 dB. The Air Pro and the AVUXOR state no noise figure. The Health and Safety Executive says fans do not add fresh air. A closed garage with a running engine, or with solvent in the air, is not a job for these recirculating heads. Plug order is the wall fan buying guide. Who should skip a row is on best wall fan UK.

RAM 18 inch

The RAM 18 inch is £60.99, 4.3 from 30, with metal blades, a pull chain, and 7 kg. Reviews mention a home gym and a 14 by 14 ft shed, and they call full speed loud. The model text says SN-B458 BS PLUG and the connector field says a two-pronged plug, so read the photos before you trust the model code. The field says indoor and there is no IP rating. If the two-prong field is what you see, this is not the default UK mains garage fan.

Air Pro and AVUXOR

The Air Pro is £89.99, 4.4 from 35, a 20 inch metal fan at 7 kg. Reviews say the bracket can be a floor foot, and that high speed is too noisy to sleep beside. Wattage, voltage, and the plug are not stated. Check the plug in the photos before you drill. The AVUXOR is £149.99, 4.0 from one UK review, with 230 V, a 3-pin plug, and 9.2 kg. That supply line is the clearest of the three. The wattage field says 113 W and the bullets say 17–103 W. The indoor field says indoor, a special feature says waterproof, and there is no IP code.

What not to buy for this job

Leave ZOIZ, Lemoistar, and the Honeywell out of a mains garage. ZOIZ is a 7 inch 12 V and USB-C fan. Lemoistar is 20.3 cm with a 12 V field. The Honeywell is an 11.3 inch desk fan, and UK reviews say it does not sweep. A 16 inch fan whose title mentions a garage is still the smaller product. Swiftair is 1.9 kg of plastic, and the RAM 16 inch voltage field says 120 V. If you might still want a fan you can pick up, that trade is wall fan vs pedestal fan. Fixing 7–9.2 kg is on how to mount a wall fan.

Common questions

Which fans in this set are for a garage or a workshop?
The RAM 18 inch, the Air Pro 20 inch, and the AVUXOR 20 inch. All three are metal and 7–9.2 kg. Each still has a limit: a two-prong field on the RAM, no voltage field on the Air Pro, and a single UK review on the AVUXOR.
Is an 18 or 20 inch metal head too loud for a room next door?
Treat it as loud on full speed unless you have stood next to it. The RAM states 45 dB, which is a listing field, not a gym test. Air Pro reviews say high speed is too noisy to sleep beside. The AVUXOR states no noise figure. A 16 inch fan at a lower speed is the more cautious buy next to a bedroom.
Does the RAM 18 inch have a UK plug?
The model text says BS PLUG and the connector field says a two-pronged plug. Those lines conflict. The voltage field says 240. Check the photos, and skip the row if the plug you see is not a BS 1363 plug or a compliant conversion. One review says it blew every fuse, which is a return, not a second experiment.
Can the Air Pro stand on the floor as well as the wall?
Yes, according to the bullets and to UK reviews that say the wall bracket doubles as a foot. That lets you aim it before you drill a 7 kg head. Wattage, voltage, and the plug are not stated, so the floor option does not answer the supply question. One wall-fixed review says it blows only one way.
Is the AVUXOR waterproof enough for a damp shed?
No IP code is stated. Waterproof appears as a special feature, and the indoor/outdoor field says indoor. That is not a damp-shed rating and not a bathroom rating. The supply line, 230 V and a 3-pin plug, is the clearer reason to look at it, and the review count is one.
Do these fans bring fresh air into a closed garage?
No. The Health and Safety Executive says fans do not add fresh air. They move the air already in the room. A recirculating wall fan does not meet an extract-to-outside requirement, and it is the wrong tool where an engine or solvents are running. Open a door or use proper extract if the air itself is the problem.
What should I check before drilling a 7 to 9 kg head?
The plug in the photos, a wall that can hold 7 kg or 9.2 kg, and whether the lead will reach a socket. Do not hang the RAM 18 inch, the Air Pro, or the AVUXOR on plasterboard with nothing solid behind it.
