Good to see these high velocity fans haven’t changed a whole lot and still are nice quality, i’d just pitch the blade for more air movement/less noise. The resetting thermal protection is extremely rare in fans nowadays thanks to corporation greed getting bare minimum grade motors for the lowest cost. 5ft cord is ridiculous
The newest high velocity fan I currently own is a liquid HP 18 with the Blue paddle blades and the Pepsi style logo it's a pretty decent fan me personally I've kind of been one of the steer clear of the newer stuff
I tried it twice. Both times, it overheated and turned off in less than an hour. Back to the Home Depot, it goes. Yes, I could have lubricated the bearings, but it doesn't feel right having to service a brand-new product.
I would just stick with putting a 3733 in the window because it's soo powerful and moves 8000 CFM. That's more than this fan! Chinese manufacturing is amazing.
@@JordanU or 12inch utiltech "lowes" i recently bought, to unlock the full potential of both exmaples just take apart the fan and motor and do quick lube job. any modern fan pretty much dont come with lube, so if you decide to buy either just do quick lube job. on the lowes buy the whole blade model not the 1/2 blade model, on the true living there only 1 model
That's energy saving for you. A weak motor can only spin a shallow pitch blade at higher rpm to move air. Old high-power shaded pole motors were connected to deeper pitch blades that moved more air with less noise. Compare this fan to a 60 year old fan and you'll see the difference.
@@BlackPill-pu4vi The pitch of blade vs rpm has nothing to do with whether the motor is shaded pole or another type - that is just the overall design of the fan and those designs have gotten cheaper due to race to the bottom in manufacturing quality/cost. Energy savings in general do not make equipment lower quality, cheapening products does. You can have lower rpm with a greater blade pitch with a psc motor no problem. Psc motors have more torque, are more efficient and produce less waste heat. the only advantage of shaded pole is being cheaper to make quality being equal and not needing a capacitor. Shaded pole draws far more current for the same hp output and amp draw reflects that. The energy savings come from improved efficiency for same output hp.
@@Jon-hx7pe I didn't go into sufficient detail but, I didn't intend to claim that the pitch or rpm of the blade had anything to do with the type of motor. I said that the POWER of modern fan motors was weaker than the old fans of the past for energy consumption reasons and they had to use shallow pitch blades and high rpm to partially compensate. I mentioned the larger shaded pole motors only as a contrast. They used a lot of power but, the manufacturer specified them to be more powerful, regardless of how it was done. The old fans had deeper pitch and moved a lot more air. My 1950's Westinghouse box fan outperforms even the 20" industrial air movers of today.
