does this fan have a built in speed control,if not which one works best?

No, it has no speed control built into it. I haven't added any control to the fans that I run, I figure one more thing to break. I do have a control on a shop vac that works well that is made by VenTech, sold by Amazon believe it or not. It is rated for the amperage you are dealing with and it works very well. I would consider it, but there are very many options. Hope this helps. Dan

The fan does NOT have a speed control though I believe they sell one (separately) now, however it is butt ugly so depending on where you place it that may or may not work for you. I tried several variable speed switches that are for ceiling fans but none of them worked; it was either on full speed or off.

CFM is the best on the market. The problem is that the speed control is LOW quality. You will need to cut off the speed control, and add a cig. lighter plug with fuse. I had 3 fans-speed control broke on ALL of them in just a few months!

It has 3 speed settings, as well a timer button, sleep button and oscillate button. It also has a vertical slider in the upper part of the fan that can change the direction of air flow (up/down)

Yes it does. Our fans are under a patio roof and were hard wired to a circuit in the house. The electrician cut the chains short, because our fans came w/remote controls, which we have mounted (holders were included) right inside the door. If we ever wanted to go back to manual, we would just add a chain extender...again, yes it would control on/off and speeds. Love our fans. We did not remove blades in winter, and they survived the stormy winter we had. The fans are great for insect control, too....no flies or mosquitos when they are on, even the low setting.

no I do not know the RPMs of the fan speeds but I do know that you cannot adjust the speed of the fans there are two buttons on the back that controls the on and off switches of the fans one controls the four small of fans and then one controls the large fan in the middle I hope that has been helpful

Yes. There is an on/off switch on the back of the fan, at the top, with 3 speed settings as well.

When I installed this fan I was looking for maximum air flow since it is in a large vinyl shed. It is a one speed on or off unit. The original instructions, as I recall, did not lead me to believe that it would operate with a speed controller, but to be certain would check with the manufacturer. Though this is not a complete answer to your question, hope it helps some what

I set my fan on max and then removed the chains from it as this controller works great at controlling the speed of the fan from low to high. It has 4 speeds instead of the 3 most fans come with.

This is just a fan. It has a dial to adjust the speed and it can be adjusted to blow any direction you need.

I use a PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) to control the speed. How this works it will pulse 12v at a set interval, set by a dial, and that is how the fan speed is controlled. This is what i used to control the speed RioRand Upgraded RRCCM6NSPC 150W 6V 12V 24V Reversing Switch Adjustable DC Motor Speed Controller PWM BUT to truly answer your question no, by it's self it does not run at variable speeds.

No it does not. I ordered a three speed fan switch extra which costs $18.00 but works great and is easy to install. I have two fans in my room thyat work together and this switch controls both.

The fan came with one 6 speed wall control unit. I had to purchase the remote control unit (which I use much more than the wall control unit) separately. Hope this helps.

it has a off/on and rheostat. but wont control my fan speed. on high all the time. the one I bought was the kbmc-13bv. the one I need is the kbmc-13bvns. they said the 13bv would work but it does not

Fan speeds low, medium, high and oscillation button and of course on/off button. I don't have this fan anymore to look at it but I don't remember it having that feature. Also if you look at a close up of the picture it shows you the buttons.

No, But it is common to purchase a speed controller for a fan such as this.
532225
Yes, it does. You can turn the oscillation on and off independently from the fan speed.

Yes it has 3 speed setting standard high, medium and low. This fan is great.
