Is 8,300 CFM enough for my room?Compare this fan

Specs cited from Product manual ↗ · Manufacturer source ↗Photos: Amazon listing ↗ · refreshed Oct 31, 2026

The iLIVING ILG8MF30-83 is a 30-inch drum fan with a full three-speed airflow table in its manual: 8,300, 6,200 and 5,550 CFM on 260 W.

What works

  • 8,300 CFM on high from a 30-inch head
  • 3 speeds, down to 5,550 CFM on low
  • Tilting head to aim the airflow
  • 1/5 HP motor on standard 115 V power
  • 1-year warranty

What doesn't

  • Not rated for outdoor use
  • Low speed still moves 5,550 CFM, so there is no gentle setting
  • No weight or cord length published

Who it's for

Good fit

  • Garages, shops and warehouses that need 30-inch drum airflow on a household outlet
  • Buyers who want documented CFM at every speed, not just a high-speed claim
  • Dry indoor spaces where you aim the drum up, down or along the floor

Look elsewhere if

  • Wet areas, rain exposure or anywhere an outdoor-rated fan is required
  • Removing heat or fumes from a building, which calls for an exhaust fan

Why it stands out

Plenty of 30-inch drum fans publish one number: maximum CFM. iLIVING's manual for the ILG8MF30-83 gives all three. It lists 8,300 CFM on high, 6,200 on medium and 5,550 on low, plus the electrical side: 260 W and 2.3 A on 115 V from a 1/5 HP motor at 1,100 RPM. You know what you are getting at every setting.

The hardware is classic drum fan. The listing describes a steel housing with formed channels, a powder-coated finish, a roller-bearing direct-drive motor, push wheels, a grip handle and built-in thermal protection, and says it is UL listed. iLIVING's own page adds a 360-degree rotation feature for aiming the drum.

What to know before you buy

  • Power: 2.3 A from an ordinary household outlet. No cord length is published, so measure the run to your outlet.
  • Speeds: the steps sit close together. Low still moves 5,550 CFM, so this is a big-air fan, not a gentle breeze.
  • Noise: the listing claims below 70 dBA on high and below 69 dBA on low. Those are the seller's numbers.
  • Location: the title mentions patios, but the manual says not to expose the fan to water or rain and not to use it in wet atmospheres. It is not outdoor rated.
  • Weight: not published.

How it compares

  • Air King 9230: a 30-inch pivoting floor fan with 7,400 / 6,360 / 4,980 CFM, 255 W and a manufacturer-published 75 dBA on high. It moves a little less air, but Air King backs its noise figures and lists a 10-foot cord and a 48.3 lb weight.
  • iLIVING 36-inch drum fan: rated 16,000 CFM on 250 W, with a brushless DC motor and stepless speed. Step up to it if the space can take a 36-inch drum.
  • iLIVING 24-inch drum fan: 7,700 CFM on 220 W with two speeds. It trades a little airflow and the medium setting for a smaller drum.

Bottom line

The ILG8MF30-83 is a well-documented 30-inch drum for dry garages and shops: 8,300 CFM on high and a full three-speed table from the manufacturer. Keep it away from rain and wet floors. Pick the Air King 9230 instead if you want manufacturer-published noise figures.

Verdict

Buy the ILG8MF30-83 if you want a 30-inch drum with published airflow at all three speeds for a dry garage or shop. Skip it for damp barns, washdown areas or open patios, where the manual rules it out.

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

    What mounting method and hardware does the exact unit require?

  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

    Do the documented location and guard details match the conditions and rules at the installation site? Check the manufacturer instructions for the exact configuration.

Put 8,300 CFM in context

The iLiving ILG8MF30-83 30-Inch Drum Fan has a listed airflow of 8,300 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 ft³210×17 s
Two-car garage22 × 20 × 9 ft · 3,960 ft³126×29 s
Workshop40 × 30 × 12 ft · 14,400 ft³35×1.7 min
Warehouse bay100 × 50 × 16 ft · 80,000 ft³6.2×9.6 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.
