    Something that never fails to confuse me is the difference in reputation when it comes to KDK. If you read the description, KDK is (or was) taken as the cheap version of National and Panasonic. While over here in Latin America, KDK is seen as the "Premium Fan at no cost". Basically, after Panasonic saw HUGE success on the F-5609L, they.... Left Colombia and never came back 😂. I have NEVER in my entire life seen a newer model from Panasonic in Colombia, It's insane. When they left though, KDK saw an opportunity and TOOK IT. They basically risked people thinking they were knockoffs and going bankrupt here, but instead people took them as the "superior" fan. While I was checking fans in display out, I saw something that caught my eye. Hunter fans (the "premium" fan of north America) were priced at around 250 USD and up, while KDKs were being sold for around 75 USD. The difference in air movement? Well, a Hunter fan being more than double the price of a KDK, blows as much air in high as a KDK in speed 2. Now, believe me when I tell you this, if someone even remotely considers having a fan in their house here, they already have eyes on KDK. E V E R Y O N E has a KDK fan in cities with hot stuffy climate. I think the only 2 cons of having KDK fans here would be 1: No reversing your fan and 2: Bearings. We can discard number 1 because we have no seasons so if you go to a hot city, is stays like that all year round, and why do you need a fan in a cold city? Anyway, is KDK still the cheap Matsushita nowadays? Nice video too!

      I guess it all comes down to how people perceive the brand when it first entered the market. KDK has always been 2nd class to National - Panasonic in my country. Both brands have always been available here, and KDK always has the lower price & slightly lower quality. My theory as to why KDK is very popular in Latin America is because they are the only ones that sell good quality fans for a lot cheaper than other brands. You gotta admit, their ceiling fans from late 90’s & early 2000’s is very iconic, that’s why the design still remains basically the same till this day in Latin America, while Indonesia got a complete design change for God knows why. Sorry for seemingly ignoring your recent comments by the way, for some reason most of your longer comments ended up in the spam folder, I’ll have that fixed for you.

      @@TheFanUniverse Yeah, The N56YG has been in the market for a really long time, though they don't sell the white version (N56LG) which is what is the newer B56X5. They sell M56LG instead, which has also been a really great hit, so much so I barely see N56YGs anymore. I don't know if it's people not wanting to buy new fans or what, but I see wither really abused B56X5 (as seen on some of my recent videos, too) or in some extremely rare cases, new fans. KDK really just saw that no fan maker other than Panasonic were here, so they hopped right in, and for some reason Panasonic stopped selling, even closed down repairs for the existing fans. Hunter also sells here, but since the dollar right now is skyrocketing, they are EXTREMELY expensive, for example, a Bridgeport (one of Hunter's base models, barely blows air compared to a KDK) sells for almost four times the price of a KDK, so it also affects that KDK doesn't sell in north America, which means it's price won't get affected (or barely affected) by the dollar rising. Something else I've noticed about these KDKs, is that they honestly never break down, sure they might be yellow and droopy but the motors still runs. The other day in a hotel, I saw one with droopy blades, dropped canopy, yellow, wobbly and somewhat broken, and the bearings made a HORRIBLE grinding noise. When I asked the staff about it, they use it so much that the people that hear it don't even care, and that they will replace it when it stops working. I felt so bad but also so surprised the motor hadn't given up already, and just to get an idea of how bad it was, It probably was comparable to your 1994 National when you had first gotten it. Blades looked flushed into a toilet multiple times, sticker wasn't even there, etc. I think the only thing that was semi- good about that fan was the capacitor, and honestly I wouldn't even be surprised if one day it just fell down. About the comments, It's fine! I just thought you were busy, and didn't think much of it. Thanks for the clarification though! :D

    I wonder why KDK Indonesia didn't just straight up import the B56XK. I'm In the Philippines, which pretty much imported the B56XK as well, and I've seen a few around already. Pretty confusing since we also just import our Matsushita ceiling fans, and it didn't seem to affect sales much either. That KDK logo looks one of the Sketchiest I've seen.

    (Done Editing)
    Considering that KDK and National/Panasonic divisions are both Matsushita brands, I wonder why KDK didn't have access to the F-560A1, and had to resort to contracting a Chinese company to make the WZ56-1 for them. Was it like this for KDK's other ceiling, table, or other fans?
    Here in Malaysia, our KDK and National/Panasonic fan models have been using materials and parts from the same factory for more than 40-50 years. Up until the mid-late 90s, the quality of both divisions' fans were pretty much identical, but National started cheaping out more, and nowadays (Malaysian) KDK is better than Panasonic. A large majority of KDK and National fan models were completely identical (except the brand names, logos, colour choices, or motifs depending on model, age and type of fan). We've always had Matsushita motors and Japanese electromechanical components (except for the 1st iteration KDK KY15P and National F150YM ceiling fans which used Malaysian capacitors).
    Anyway, back to your WZ56-1. I like that the blades are sturdier than the F560A1, the airflow advantage, and the ability to buy one new in box, but the blade mounting (and rest of the fan) is a letdown. Especially the undersized motor, 2.5uf generic-brand capacitor, the KDK logo, and the crappy controller material and mould.
    Also love your long detailed descriptions and video content!

    • @TheFanUniverse
      @TheFanUniverse  3 роки тому +2

      I think this fan's a one time only case. KDK did have their own versions of the F-560A1 in the UAE and other countries, but as I said, they're not made in Indonesia, and importing them would make their price as, if not more expensive than the privately imported F-560A1. I think the reason why they decided to get cheap Chinese imports is just so they have time to build a new assembly line for the 2nd iteration WZ 56-1, & F-EY144. Perhaps they hoarded these in the factory to lessen the number of these fans in circulation, and thus the chance of getting complaints for the horrendous quality, & reliability.

      Where are they normally made? and what's the differences between 1st and 2nd iteration WZ56-1?

    • @TheFanUniverse
      @TheFanUniverse  3 роки тому +1

      Most National era fans here are made in Indonesia's capital city of Jakarta. The differences between the 1st & 2nd iteration from what I can see, are the speed controller, the shape of the blade tips, and the blade width. I haven't been able to get ahold of the 2nd iteration model, but as soon as I do, I'll make a comparison video.

      And if you get ahold of the 2nd iteration WZ56-1 I bet that the 1st iteration will still have better quality. Also is there a WZ56 without the -1 at the end?

    Hi there! I have the same fan. but I have a problem, You see my fan's blades are bent very badly I removed them and gave them to a fan electrician and he fixed it. I fixed it to the fan and after some time the blades are bent again... Is it the blades that are too heavy?

    • @TheFanUniverse
      @TheFanUniverse  2 роки тому +1

      It could be from metal fatigue. Once the blades are bent, the metal is weakened. If you bend them straight, chances are the weakened metal will bend down again
