    Wall mounted remote controlled fan

    I’m looking for a wall mounted fan that can be tipped upward to create air flow in the winter (to move heat around) and downward in the summer. Bonus if it can be plugged in and remotely controlled. Amazon has a lot of possibilities but surely someone here has done the same thing.

    Anyone have experience with Bauer shop vacuums? The 6 gallon size is exactly the size I want. I would rather have a Ridgid but I'm looking for a taller and narrower vacuum body instead of the shorter and wider body of the Ridgid. Thanks
