Specs cited from Manufacturer source ↗

The Air King 9016 is a light, quiet 16-inch commercial wall fan that oscillates 90 degrees. Air King lists 1,510 CFM on just 87 W and 51 dBA on high, which makes it the quietest documented wall-mount fan in the catalog.

No product photo is available for this listing. Use the cited specifications and current seller listing to confirm the exact configuration.

What works

  • 1,510 CFM on high from a 16-inch head
  • 3 speeds, down to 1,190 CFM on low
  • Oscillates to spread air across a wider area
  • 1/20 HP motor on standard 120 V power
  • Low noise rating: 51 dB(A)

What doesn't

  • Short 6-ft cord; plan the outlet location
  • Short 6-foot cord
  • Small 1/20 HP motor; this is a commercial-grade fan, not an industrial one

Who it's for

Good fit

  • Offices, break rooms, restaurants and retail counters that need quiet, sweeping airflow
  • Small workshops where people talk over the fan
  • Walls that can't carry a heavy industrial fan: it weighs 8.25 lb

Look elsewhere if

  • Garages, warehouses or hot shops that need thousands of CFM
  • Locations far from an outlet, given the 6-foot cord

Why it stands out

Most wall fans in this catalog are built to blast air across a shop. The 9016 is built to be lived with. Air King's model table lists 1,510 / 1,380 / 1,190 CFM at 51 / 47 / 42 dBA. That is the lowest published noise of any documented wall-mount fan here, and it draws only 87 / 70 / 57 W. It also oscillates 90 degrees, or you can lock it in a fixed position, so it spreads air across a counter or seating area instead of hitting one spot.

It is light and simple to hang: 8.25 lb, 18 x 14.38 x 22.63 inches, with a 1/20 HP, 120 V motor, front rotary and pull-cord controls and a 6-foot cord.

What to know before you buy

  • Power: 0.80 A on high from a standard 120 V outlet. The 6-foot cord is short, so mount it near an outlet or plan a proper extension.
  • Mounting: at 8.25 lb it needs far less wall than a big industrial fan, but still anchor it into studs or solid masonry.
  • Noise: 51 dBA on high is quiet by industrial standards, and fine for customer-facing spaces.
  • Airflow: 1,510 CFM suits personal and small-room comfort, not heat removal in a shop.

How it compares

  • Air King 9020: a 20-inch industrial wall fan rated at 3,670 CFM on 184 W and 62 dBA. It moves far more air but does not oscillate. Choose it for workshops.
  • Air King 9518: an 18-inch industrial wall fan at 3,190 CFM, 180 W and 67 dBA, with a 9-foot cord and no oscillation. It is the louder, stronger middle option.
  • iLIVING ILG8E18-15: another 18-inch wall fan that iLIVING rates at 6,360 CFM on 168 W in its manual. Pick it when airflow matters more than quiet.

Bottom line

The 9016 is the wall fan to buy when people have to work, talk or eat beside it. For shop heat, choose a 20-inch industrial model instead.

Verdict

Buy the 9016 if you want quiet, oscillating wall-mounted airflow for an office, shop counter or break room. Skip it for hot shops and garages; the Air King 9020 or 9518 move about twice the air, at a noticeably higher noise level.

Before you buy

Installation and buying checks

Use these questions to verify the exact configuration. Linked facts are cited; unlisted details stay questions.

  1. Mounting and support

    Does the planned location suit the listed wall mounting, with the required support, clearance, and service access?

  2. Clearance and handling

    Do the listed physical details leave enough clearance for installation, adjustment, and service?

  3. Electrical match

    Does the documented electrical information match the planned supply? Confirm the installed unit’s nameplate and installation instructions before connecting it.

  4. Airflow at the job

    Is the listed airflow rated at an operating point that matches the job after placement, obstructions, and system resistance are considered?

  5. Location requirements

    Does the site require an environmental rating or guard? Neither is listed here.

Put 1,510 CFM in context

The Air King 9016 16-Inch Oscillating Wall-Mount Fan has a listed airflow of 1,510 cubic feet per minute. The table compares this rated volume with example room volumes. It does not measure fresh-air exchange, air speed at your body, or room coverage.

RoomSizeNominal room volumes / hourNominal pass interval
One-car garage22 × 12 × 9 ft · 2,376 ft³38×1.6 min
Two-car garage22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³23×2.6 min
Workshop40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³6.3×9.5 min
Warehouse bay100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³1.1×53 min

A circulation fan does not by itself replace indoor air. Exhaust airflow depends on a makeup-air path and system resistance. Use installed outdoor airflow for ventilation calculations.

Formula: airflow × 60 ÷ room volume. CDC explains the ventilation form of this equation; here the input is a catalog rating, so the result is a volume comparison.

Operating estimate

What could it cost to run?

This uses the listed 87 W power draw. The example below assumes 8 hours a day, 250 days a year, at $0.16 per kWh. Change the assumptions for your utility rate and schedule.
