Air King 9218 vs TPI F-18-TE

Comparing the Air King 9218 and the TPI F-18-TE 18" high velocity fans.

CFM Ratings, to be taken for whatever they're worth, which probably isn't much (high/med/low):
Air King 9218: 3,190 / 2,970 / 2,660
TPI F-18-TE: 5,750 / 4,700 / 3,200

I did neglect to compare one item during the video; the location of manufacture. The TPI is made in the China, and the Air King is 'assembled' in the USA. While some portion of the assembly is taking place here in the US, I do believe the majority of the components being assembled are made in the China. While the purchase of the Air King does support some kind of manufacturing here in the US, which is very important, it will not yield the full quality of made in USA from the past, which the advertising tends to make you expect.
