Cool video I used to have one of these when I was a kid but I ruined it by running the bearings dry - then it would only work if I left a pool of oil in front of the front bearing with some strategic tape. Good ass fan I wish I was smarter back then haha
Nice experiment, I too thought the more vintage wide style blade would work the best. It’s odd why they phased it out in favor of the blade that’s on it now. White noise?
I'd guess it's some kind of marketing gimmick, or perhaps that blade has much less drag so they could use a weaker motor to save a few pennies per unit.
The newer blades have less plastic overall, therefore making it much cheaper to make, its sad only a few fans now have the old wider blades, some lasko fans like the 16 inch has this old style wide blade
Love the blade swapping videos bro, keep them coming very interesting to see the difference they make in air flow
Thanks for letting me know.
good video comparison bro i enjoyed the video and all the different blades you swapped out
Thanks bro glad you enjoyed it.

That's pretty cool... I am a fan collector
so?
Thanks for letting me know.
Do you still have the Ance stand fan what about you switch the blades on that fan
I do.
Can you change the blades on that fan
If they wanted to make this a desk/pedestal fan, they could’ve made the base heavier
The base is plenty heavy.
I like it
OK
