Which one would you recommend woozoo globe or vornado 660. woozoo globe currently is AUD $74.99, and vornado 660 is AUD $179.99 in Australia. Vornado 660 is pretty much 2.5 times more expensive than woozoo.
After doing a lot of research for my own personal needs, i can say the world needs a Project Farm video for dehumidifiers Edit: there's some real dumb in the replies, feast upon it those who come later
The designs and durability of dehumidifiers have changed over the last 25 years. Currently I use a Medea brand and regularly clean it with a mix of soapy water and vinegar when the filter light blinks . Longest lasting one so far and I drain directly into a 5 gallon bucket
I bought one of those mini dehumidifiers (Amazon) because of a leak I had in a carpeted closet that also holds my water heater. I needed it after getting all the water I could out with our carpet cleaner machine. The biggest issue was the heat it put in the closet. It collected the moisture out of the air & carpet but with the closet door closed, the temperature in there was 5 to 10 deg hotter than just outside the closet. You may say it was the water heater heating up the closet but it wasn't. For example, I have a weather station set up with the sensor in the closet and it says inside and outside the closet are the same temp in normal situations. Dehumidifier is not running of course.
I’ve absolutely no need for a fan. And yet there’s something soothing about watching on Sunday morning. Just good objective data. No one trying to sell me something. Your videos are comfy to watch. Thank you very much.
I believe if the EPA did this test the budget would be 10 Million just to design the tests. Project Farm is budget friendly and gets 5.5 stars out or 5.
I have had that exact Lasko fan for about 10 years. I bought it on a whim because at the time I was living in an apartment with no a/c. Without exaggeration, it has run every night of those 10 years helping sleep either by cooling or providing white noise. Thats over 29 thousand hours, all I've ever done is clean the dust off the blades a few times a year.
I really love how you always give your pick for the best of the best no matter how expensive but then also give the best of the rest that’s more affordable for the average person.
Just a heads-up for those looking to buy the Hurricane: it seems the model of Hurricane in this video is no longer made or sold. The new model (which looks exactly the same as the one in this video) has different air flow, velocity, power, adjustable height, and oscillation specs. Overall, the new model appears to be weaker than the old one, though it does state that it uses less power. The link in the description goes to the new model, not the one in this video.
I’m always amazed as to how you figure out to test all these different items. Your channel is like a better consumer reports. I always look here before I buy an item. I have a suggestion for a future product to test and that is camping chairs For 250 pound plus individuals with bad backs. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I know the Vornado didn't finish very high here, but I still would buy another if my ever breaks down. I have owned some of the cheaper ones, and they do not last as long as my Vornado.
In Georgia they are selling a WooZoo dual oscillation globe fan for $39. That would be nice to test. It has a 5 year warranty and has performed well for me so far.
I had a Vornado tower fan from Walmart that failed within the warranty period after nightly use. Something happened with the speed controls. Luckily they are easy to work with for warranty, but they'll ask you to cut the cord on the old unit. I rewired the old unit after sending them the pic of the cord cut and tried to fix the speed controls but couldn't.
Thank you for being one of the only people on UA-cam to give the distance you placed the sound meter from the sound source! Most people don't know how quickly sound drops off in the first 6 feet. We can now accurately compare how loud our fans are compared to the ones you tested.
The previous owner of our house left behind a dehumidifier which died after about five years (about 2000). Fortunately it had a standard fan that worked with the compressor removed. I build it into a simple wooden frame and metal grid and put it on some old rubber feet from a washing machine. That fan will not die-I love it!
@@bryanmathew2079 Vornado also makes 24V DC fans that have similar power use characteristics (their "Energy Smart" line) which are less expensive than Dreo.
Maaaaan…get out of my head!!! I’m literally sat here with my dusted up Lasko fan, browsing Amazon looking for a new stand fan for my bedroom…and HERE YOU COME TO SAVE THE DAY! Ordered a new Hurricane fan to keep me cool and stifle my tinnitus.
If your fan is one of those brown or blue bladed vintage units, definitely keep it and get it serviced. It's superior to nearly anything on the market today
I want to add, I had a Vornado fan break after a month. I called the company and they replaced it for free. I got it in a couple of days and their customer service is second to none.
I had one stop after two years. I believe they have a five year warranty. I contacted them. They had me upload a picture of the power cord cut right at the unit. A new one arrived three days later. They call them air circulators. I can keep my thermostat two or three degrees warmer and use the Vornado in the room I am in. Also works well in the horizontal position in the winter to circulate warm air. Great company, for sure.
My vornado is still going after 7 years. Using it right now at low it circulates air in room very well. I bought their space heater too, heats my 31' 5th wheel to 65deg with 35 deg outside even on low. I'm sold in their air circulation
For under $100 the Lasko High Velocity Blower (4924) is the best fan you can buy... in my opinion. It's a tower fan and not in this video, so I'd be interested in seeing how it'd compare.
The fan I have has been in my family for as long as I can remember (I'm almost 70) it has an Oil Cup I give it a few drops of oil every summer. It has a wooden frame and still works great 👍 thx for the great video, Todd !
There is an Indian brand of fan called Remi-Cool that has bearings lubricated by large oil-retaining felt pads, and it has caps you can remove to uncover tubes through which you can add more oil without needing to disassemble the motor.
Not just effectiveness but cost. Tide works great, for example, but costs a lot. I use Ariel detergent which is basically the same Tide powder formula in a cheap bag. The stuff is crazy good and cheap as can be. I have gallons of Costco liquid paid for but it just can't compare for effectiveness or cost.
@@ProjectFarm Please include unscented laundry detergents. Also detergents without brighteners, which are forbidden for military use (they glow like crazy under night vision+IR). I guess maybe that's two separate classes: 1) regular detergent 2) unscented & no-brightener detergent. Who knew washing suds could be so interesting? Project Farm rocks 💎
As an owner of a dreo fan glad to see my purchase is so highly rated. I can confirm that on the lower settings it is quiet. That was the major factor for purchasing it as i didn't want a noisy fan for calls. I do sit fairly close to it so cfm isn't that big of an issue for me but even on the 3 setting i can feel the air flow on the otherside of the living room about 10-15 feet away.
In my opinion this is exactly what youtube is for, you can't really find it anywhere else. I can't even describe how grateful I am this channel exists :)
I've had mine running almost every single our of the day for over 2 years. Still works great. I refuse to believe Amazon Basics fan is better than Vornado.
@@Janzer_My teenage son has run his pretty much nonstop for a similar length of time. They have a five yr warranty. Had one fail after 2 yrs. Contacted them. They requested I upload a picture of the circulator with the power cord cut right at the unit. A new one showed up 3 days later.
@@sonicmastersword8080 probably a customer return. Retails stores throw away lots of perfectly usable stuff that's not worth the hassle for them to process/ship/resell. I've also started checking dumpsters and found several things with only minor or cosmetic issues.
We've used a lot of Lasko tower fans over the years. After having a Dreo humidifier, we took a chance on a tower fan the same price as the one you tested, and the wife (who has to sleep with a fan blowing at her) loooves it. The smart feature is a bonus but the fan itself is killer. Sound is hardly noticeable, the auto function acts like wind that speeds up and slows down, has timer, and you can change how much oscillation it has (30,60,90 or 180 degrees). But her favorite feature is the display is ambient, so when the lights are off it's dark instead of glowing in your face all night.
I got a box fan at Dollar General a few months ago after moving in to a new place.. It was SO slow even on the highest setting. I think they cheaped out on the motor. My neighbor gave me one from the 90's and it pushed tons of air, even though the blade and box were the same size. Not all fans are equal!
There are videos comparing the current Lakewood box fan to the equivalent Lakewood from the 1980s. The new fans are nowhere near as well made. That's the quick summary.
A few years ago my grandparents gave me an old metal bladed box fan they had bought brand new at K-mart back in 1971, and that thing is an absolute powerhouse! It even has little spouts to add oil to the motor because believe it or not products used to be designed with repair in mind
@@alexsmith5584 If I could, all of the appliances I own would be older and built to be maintained instead of thrown away. It's so hard to find good old stuff nowadays though
Todd thanks for all the product testing and comparison you do for everyone. Back in 2015 I purchased a 16" oscillating fan from CVS $19.99 and it's still going strong. I clean it twice a year. Price wise things have changed, a lot. Keep up the good work..
My 280ss has a manufacture date of 1999. I still use it every summer. Only thing Ive had to do was fix the cord a couple years ago, but still running strong. I also have a newer 633DC and love the DC fan motors. Having an adjustable power knob is so much better than being limited to 3 speeds, and turned all the way down its so quiet you have to be close to it to hear it at all.
To keep inline with the fan testing, you should test blower fans as well. Growing up in Florida, whenever we lose power bc of a hurricane, my wife son and I each keep corded blower near us to keep the hot humid air moving around us. They're not quiet, but they do a great job keeping us comfortable and don't have a high amperage draw on the genetator.
Amazon Basics. Had it for 3 years and I love it. Best remote with every option you need. Nice heavy base. Metal enclosure. Only flaw...I wish it had an easy release fan cover. i like to give it a good cleaning every year. GREAT fan GREAT price. Glad to see it did so well in this review.
My tinnitus agrees with you. I've had great luck with the Vornado. 5 yr warranty and great customer service. Had one go out after 2 yrs. They requested I cut the power cord at the unit and upload that picture. 3 days later I received a new air circulator.
Need to do a box fan showdown. Add the Air King 9723 to the list. It’s not the quietest, but the sound it makes has the best low hum - great for sleepers who like to sleep with a fan.
I bought the Amazon Basics one about 6 months ago and have been very happy with it. The remote works well and as we dont run it on high, it is quiet enough that I forget its on. Glad my choice came out so good on your tests.
My mom bought 2 small Vornado fans about 20 years ago. One of them died about 9 years later. I inherited the other and it is running right now. Not only does it have the best air speed, you can direct it with precision. If you don't want it to blow at you, it can blow near you without disturbing your documents.
If it helps anyone, we have a 7 year old Pelonis on a screened in porch. It stays there 365 days per year (including winter). I can have a phone conversation with it right behind me on the low setting, and the only thing the person I'm talking to can hear is the sound of the air passing by. Now, if they could just make them like the 74 year old fan I have in my home workshop. That will probably outlast me by years. Thanks as always.
Pelonis makes an excellent 20” Box fan! I use several in my workshop, with filters attached; A poor man’s air filtration system! 😆 Filters help the fans last longer. They have been up for over three years now, and run 24/7/365!
I bought the Amazon basics fan based off your test Todd, and have used it now a for a few days. Absolutely thrilled with my purchase! I wanted a fan that moved a lot of air but was quiet and this ticked both of those boxes. Thank you for all the hard work you put into testing all these products, as it has saved me countless hours of research.
My Lasko fan has been running for dang near 10 years now without turning it off. 😂 The trick is to keep the fan from accumulating dust on the motor and rear.
Always enjoy your videos. I have a couple of old Patton fans. They are about 18 to 20 inch in size. They are all metal even the blades. No frills to them and not the quietest but these fans move a lot of air even on the low setting.
Just for your information, most fans use a shaded pole motor and they vary the phase angle thus achieving different RPM under load. This is why you see mostly the same power usage on low and on high. The strator produces the same amount of magnetic field (thus requiring the same amount of power) but if the phase angle is too high it will have less torque. Less torque means lower achievable RPM under load. As an experiment you can remove the fan blade, and the measured RPM in all speed setting will be the same. The DREO one running from DC and it most likely has a BLDC motor + inverter.
I have both Dreo and Vornado fans. For the price, Dreo has made me happy with their smaller oscillating fans on low speed, but for higher CFM, I really like the more energy efficient Vornado "Energy Smart" line that allows you to control the speed with about 100 different levels of power. The Dreos we have are super easy to clean, Vornado a bit more of a pain.
I have the Amazon fan, worked great for about a year until it decided to start oscillating all on its own and there was no turning it off. Even when you powered off the fan, it just kept oscillating. I even unplugged it waited like 30 minutes and as soon as I plugged it back in it started oscillating and I haven't turned it on yet. I ended up disconnecting the oscillating motor since it was obviously separate from the fan motor unlike the manual ones. The fan features still work and I still use it for now.
I'm a fan! Don't know how you keep it up, but lot's of fun, as always. Hope you and yours are well and you can continue to keep us smiling. Cheers Mate!
I remember the old metal blade box fans that we put in the windows when we were kids. Didn’t have any A/C and those fans murdered anything that came in their reach!
I still have one of those things! I just give it a bit of 3-in-1 electric motor oil every year and it probably moves at least twice as much air as the new stuff (and it’s actually quieter too lol)
Portable AC comparison would be great! I'm sure a ton of people caught in the begging of the summer every year would stumble on your videos and be very appreciative. Also I just want to say I enjoy your videos and the work you do a whole lot, Thank you!
I think a fused plug is an important safety feature for a fan. Might stop a fire if the fan over-amps. I chose the Lasko AirFlex 2-in-1 20" box fan, which mounts an easily removable 20x20x1 HVAC filter right on the fan. The extra deep feet limit its usefulness as a window fan, but it looks better than a bungie holding a filter on a regular 20" box fan (which I also have) - plus the motor is designed for reduced air flow (when the filter is in place). Thanks for another thoughtful and useful video! Always look forward to what goodies you have in store this week. :)
The whole house stopped what they were doing to come watch the lastest Project Farm vid. Way more in depth than i thought fan reviews could be. Results were very different than what i was expecting. Amazing vid, keep up the great work!
Great video, PF! I will say as someone who dealt with a 102° home for nearly a month in Florida, AIR CIRCULATORS are a life saver, and a large one / multiple can replace AC at least for a room. Fans have a larger area of effect, but air circulators (thank god for Vornado) move so much friggen air that it cools the entire room well, although good luck with any loose papers 😂
5yr warranty, 10yr I believe on some of the new eco models. Great customer service. Had issues with one after two years. Contacted them.They had me cut the power cord right at the unit and upload that picture. I received a new one 3 days later. Can't beat that.
Another excellent review and timely - my 10+ yo Lasko oscillating fan died last week, and I was frustrated reading reviews on Amazon. Packaging is the most common frustration. Your data is always very helpful and appreciated 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
My Hurricane oscillating fan arrived today. Surprised they (Amazon) ship in the raw retail box, but arrived in decent shape. Nut/bolt for attaching head unit onto post was loose in the box, and nearly missed/lost, which I think you also mentioned. Happy so far, and appreciate your perspective 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
~~Satisfied w/Pelonis 40" tower fan goin on 3yrs now&cost less than one you tested. When tested it was like 425cfm on low. Cleaning is bit more intricate than normal fans though. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO SIR.
I"m a "fan" of the Honeywell HF910C 18" fan. It doesn't come with a stand (also can't tip over) but it really delivers. It moves a ton of air, is relatively quiet (CFM per dB) and has what I consider a "medium" price. On a hot day I use it to rapidly cool the house after the sun goes down by sticking it in front of a screen door.
Excellent comparison! All I ever get for new fans are Vornados. I keep a DC circulator and a Transom window fan on pretty much 24/7 for the dogs. Electric bill is easily under $100 and they also have excellent customer service/warranty people. Their space heaters are nice too, heats up the room quite fast.
From the headline, I thought you were testing the biggest fans of the 'Project Farm' channel, and I was offended for not being included in the test! 😀Another great video, thank you so much. It would have been interesting to see a Dyson fan in the mix.
After all these years of testing, I am always amazed by each new video! One needs to look no further than Amazon Basic or Hurricane for good fan at a good value.
For a better part of the power consumption tests, the power monitor was switched to milliamp setting and you were reading it off as watts? You would have to multiply the milliamp reading by the voltage to get the wattage? At 120 volts: Amazon Basic 411 mA 49.32 W 518 mA 62.16 W Lasko 610 mA 73.2 W 818 mA 98.16 W Aigostar 459 mA 55.08 W 500 mA 60W Simple Deluxe 386 mA 46.32 W 410 mA 49.2 W Pelonis 524 mA 62.88 W 668 mA 80.16 W Dreo 49 mA 5.88 W 322 mA 38.64 W Vornado 584 mA 70.08 W 959 mA 115.08 W
I noticed this as well. But without a actual volts measurement these corrected calculations could be off by 20%. hopefully PF has the voltage recorded at time of testing or can retest the fans were affected.
Same. We’ve had a Pelonis DC motor fan for about a year (different model from the one in the video) and only use it in the summer. The fan itself is ultra quiet at low speeds but when oscillating, in the past few months it’s started to rattle and clunk - maybe I wouldn’t notice if the motor was louder. I tried tightening up everything but it didn’t help.
@F0XD1E I don't think I ever been in a situation where I disassemble a fan and found anything other than plastic gears. And for all I know, this saves pennies.
Sitting outside in Houston, TX on July 30th, I had three fans blowing on me. Since fans inevitably get replaced, you better believe I paid close attention to this review. Great job!
@@_RiseAgainstbases on a mixed reviews, I agree it's a bit difficult to choose the brand. The DEKA battery I mentioned, as for now is in my Mazda Protege 5, been about 3 yrs, I ski all my life and visit high elevation areas in winter season (had 2 front Toyo winter tires). Mornings about 10 degrees this battery cranks up the car without a hesitation, also to note, I use this car on my part time gig delivery work, many stops and go scenarios here, speaking about the facts, I recently tested my battery with specific tester before the long trip and still showed 95% total capacity with a good cranking. Would put DEKA on the list to buy, hope this helps ✌️ P.S make sure your serpentine belt is in good shape, no cracks and adjustments is within a specs...
I bought a Pelonis in 2017 and it's still going strong. We've been using the fan almost every day/night even in the winter. we love the white noise and the powerful breeze it provides. No hiccups but they do need cleaning like all products and lube if you want it to last.
Can't wait to see the results! Project Farms=BEST consumer channel out there with on point top-notch testing! And what a super cool guy! I bet he'd be an awesome next door neighbor!❤❤
I started buying Vornado desk and room fans back in 1987 after burning out the motors on several cheaper brands. I had no AC in the house in San Antonio in the summer, so I lived with the fan blowing 24/7. The Vornado never melted down. Back then they were easier to clean than today's models, but I still get them when they are on sale.
This one really blew me away! I've been a fan for a long time and I love how you make product testing look like a breeze! Okay, okay I'm done! Tower fans are what I use the most because they can fit under desks. Also desk fans are pretty popular too, Lasko has a pretty popular 15" dual rotating fan and the Sharper Image AXIS 16 is very interesting as well.
I must say that I'm a fan of this channel. I'm blown away by the quality of the content. A breath of fresh air as opposed to the mindless drivel of lesser product reviewers. Curious about smaller 10" - 12" fans. The more compact type without the stands and oscillating parts. The sound of a fan is a soothing thing to me at night. Summer, Winter, I don't care, I NEED that sound. So the super quiet ones are not what I would go for. Pedestals and oscillation are not high priorities for me either. What I really look for is that is should not make any loud 60hz hums or if it rattles. Any kind of ticking, pinging or rattling and the summbich might go out the window. Another thing is resonance. Mains power is not perfectly smooth and can peak or dip. At any point in the fans speed range, whether by setting or fluctuations in power supply, if it resonates or begins any kind of throbbing sound, it too stands a chance at a 2 story, one-way ticket to the lawn. I like metal fans (wait, I AM a Metal fan..🤘🎸) But they risk being the worst at the resonant vibrations, since the blades can actually start singing or ringing out a steady, annoying tone akin to a tuning fork. As well as the metal parts of the shroud and grille tinging and rattling if not solidly fastened together. Good fan: Manual control with real switches/knobs. Smooth operation. Compact. Steady white noise. NO rattles, hums, tings, or ringing. Switch accessible on the front is a bonus. Metal construction is a bonus. Bad fan: Shaky, vibrates the table or vibrates itself off the table. Digital crapola. So weak that it blows nothing. Rattles, rings, hums etc. But that's my opinion.
I'm a shift worker, and a noisy fan helps my sleep, so looks like the Pelonis is a great fit for me. Thanks for the test we didn't think we needed, but grateful you did!
I absolutely love your channel. It has proved to be very useful when I'm looking for a product that you've taken the time to test. Thank you for your efforts to find the best product for all of the jobs around the house and barn. 🙂
Very useful. I have a Comfort Zone ($17) that has operated all night every night for six years and counting. I had another identical unit that smoked and died after 20 minutes. (!) I have two 18" Holmes, both of which slowed down considerably after two seasons, and required disassembly to clean and lubricate the bearings to restore their work ethic to original.
PF, you read my mind! My Lasko standing fan broke last week, and now I'm in need of a new one. Bought a GooLoo jump box, Lexivon torque wrench, Seafoam, and a bunch of other stuff based on your reviews. You're costing me a lot of money lol.
@@ProjectFarm PF, can you do a GDI test? Find out if stuff like CRC intake vale and turbo cleaner actually work? I own a Mazda3 with 25k on the clock, and it's a GDI engine and I was wondering if something like CRC is worth doing for preventative measure to avoid walnut blasting in the future.
My Vornado ran on high 7 years straight before starting to squeek to where I couldn't repair it. Vornado gave me a discount on my new one. 3 years on high into my new vornado and its going strong!
Thank you again for another comprehensive and informative video. We have three Amazon basics fans and they work great with no issues. For the price you can’t beat the performance.
Purchased the WOOZOO globe fan from Costco and it is the best one I’ve used. Huge upgrade from Vornado. Very quiet and powerful, oscillates U+D & L+R, and it’s fallen off of my bed once or twice without any damage. Bought three at $40 CAD.
Great review as always! Thanks Todd. I’d love to see tests on the following: 1) laundry & dishwasher detergents 2) waterproof electric razors 3) electric tooth brushes 4) updated rechargeable batteries
strong second for a video on dehumidifiers. maybe also window AC units while you're at it - you could even make the latter two different ones, for window units and then 'portable' units (the ones with the hose). love your stuff mate.
I used a Vornado for 8 years without issue, constantly on high every night for white noise. Replaced with another Vornado and it's doing the same thing for another 8+ years. Best fans I've had.
Great video! These new fans feel pretty flimsy, so it's good to know which ones have a quality feel and which ones will hold up under a tip over. Also, it's good to know which fan tips easier! Noise is important to know as well as how much air the fan moves and how much electricity it uses! For a future video idea, can you compare window air conditioners and also those portable rolling air conditioners with the big hoses. Your hard work is appreciated!

Which one would you recommend woozoo globe or vornado 660. woozoo globe currently is AUD $74.99, and vornado 660 is AUD $179.99 in Australia. Vornado 660 is pretty much 2.5 times more expensive than woozoo.
After doing a lot of research for my own personal needs, i can say the world needs a Project Farm video for dehumidifiers
Edit: there's some real dumb in the replies, feast upon it those who come later
Thanks for the suggestion.
The designs and durability of dehumidifiers have changed over the last 25 years. Currently I use a Medea brand and regularly clean it with a mix of soapy water and vinegar when the filter light blinks .
Longest lasting one so far and I drain directly into a 5 gallon bucket
Oh, you mean that 'newfound technology that turns air into water' technologies that news articles LOVE to try and clickbait people with? 🤣
I bought one of those mini dehumidifiers (Amazon) because of a leak I had in a carpeted closet that also holds my water heater. I needed it after getting all the water I could out with our carpet cleaner machine. The biggest issue was the heat it put in the closet. It collected the moisture out of the air & carpet but with the closet door closed, the temperature in there was 5 to 10 deg hotter than just outside the closet. You may say it was the water heater heating up the closet but it wasn't. For example, I have a weather station set up with the sensor in the closet and it says inside and outside the closet are the same temp in normal situations. Dehumidifier is not running of course.
Second this
We're all YOUR fans! 😎✌️
Thank you very much!
Boooooo! Take your like.

Hey Gus, You beat me to it! 👍
@@131313user Are You, well, it is Ok, no worries
I’ve absolutely no need for a fan. And yet there’s something soothing about watching on Sunday morning. Just good objective data. No one trying to sell me something. Your videos are comfy to watch. Thank you very much.
My pleasure!
Me either but take it away from my girl and the world would seem like it's coming to a end😂
@@BloopTube Main thing most fans die from long-term is the bearings wear out (usually sleeve). Had to tear down quite a few and clean and lubricate.
I don't even live in the US, still watching him is a pleasure.
I believe if the EPA did this test the budget would be 10 Million just to design the tests. Project Farm is budget friendly and gets 5.5 stars out or 5.
I have had that exact Lasko fan for about 10 years. I bought it on a whim because at the time I was living in an apartment with no a/c. Without exaggeration, it has run every night of those 10 years helping sleep either by cooling or providing white noise. Thats over 29 thousand hours, all I've ever done is clean the dust off the blades a few times a year.
Thanks for sharing!
Box fans next please. Thank you so much for all your hard work, you are literally a national treasure.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Or the round guy that sit on the floor!!
@@cm.5023 i love my box fan! Use it in my window or for background noise! Cools my room off fairly well!

Thanks!

@@RefugeeOfModernity bro you really expect him to buy 100s of different fans that are just slightly different?
@@fetusman2248 or at least give an in depth explanation as to why he picks the fans he does choose to test (and advertise...)
Just a heads-up for those looking to buy the Hurricane: it seems the model of Hurricane in this video is no longer made or sold. The new model (which looks exactly the same as the one in this video) has different air flow, velocity, power, adjustable height, and oscillation specs. Overall, the new model appears to be weaker than the old one, though it does state that it uses less power. The link in the description goes to the new model, not the one in this video.
Ah the ol bait and switch.
Appreciated thanks
"Oh no! Project Farm's got his hands on one, we better take that model off the markets, just in case"
@@cocodojo 🤣🤣
@@cocodojo More like bait and switch criminals. Give 'em the chair!
I’m always amazed as to how you figure out to test all these different items. Your channel is like a better consumer reports. I always look here before I buy an item. I have a suggestion for a future product to test and that is camping chairs For 250 pound plus individuals with bad backs. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! Thanks for the suggestion.
Costco sells a $50 vornado that I have used and abused for years and it has been relentlessly reliable and durable.
Thanks for sharing!
Same, it's a beast. Mine has 3 speeds though and it's about 120 watts on high.
I know the Vornado didn't finish very high here, but I still would buy another if my ever breaks down. I have owned some of the cheaper ones, and they do not last as long as my Vornado.
In Georgia they are selling a WooZoo dual oscillation globe fan for $39. That would be nice to test. It has a 5 year warranty and has performed well for me so far.
I had a Vornado tower fan from Walmart that failed within the warranty period after nightly use. Something happened with the speed controls. Luckily they are easy to work with for warranty, but they'll ask you to cut the cord on the old unit. I rewired the old unit after sending them the pic of the cord cut and tried to fix the speed controls but couldn't.
I've had Vornado's for years. They basically last forever. Definitely worth it over cheap Walmart specials.
Great information! Thank you
I dunno, vacmaster. My little el cheapo Walmart box fan has served me reliably for well over three years now, and I keep it running during the summer.
@@ProjectFarm no problem
@cavalierliberty6838 Most of my Vornado fans are 7 to 10 years old. They've been on road trips, fallen of dressers, and keep going
@@VacMaster1991that's the brand of humidifier I have and it's made in the US
Thank you for being one of the only people on UA-cam to give the distance you placed the sound meter from the sound source! Most people don't know how quickly sound drops off in the first 6 feet. We can now accurately compare how loud our fans are compared to the ones you tested.
You are welcome!
The previous owner of our house left behind a dehumidifier which died after about five years (about 2000). Fortunately it had a standard fan that worked with the compressor removed. I build it into a simple wooden frame and metal grid and put it on some old rubber feet from a washing machine. That fan will not die-I love it!

Lol! Glad to help
WHAT, I can't hear you.
If your fan is one of those brown or blue bladed vintage units, definitely keep it and get it serviced. It's superior to nearly anything on the market today
@@TheMatsushitaMan it isn’t. It’s a cheapo $29.97 “walmart” Lasko fan.
@@TheMatsushitaMan totally agreed!
I want to add, I had a Vornado fan break after a month. I called the company and they replaced it for free. I got it in a couple of days and their customer service is second to none.
I had one stop after two years. I believe they have a five year warranty. I contacted them. They had me upload a picture of the power cord cut right at the unit. A new one arrived three days later. They call them air circulators. I can keep my thermostat two or three degrees warmer and use the Vornado in the room I am in. Also works well in the horizontal position in the winter to circulate warm air. Great company, for sure.
Thanks for sharing.
My vornado is still going after 7 years. Using it right now at low it circulates air in room very well. I bought their space heater too, heats my 31' 5th wheel to 65deg with 35 deg outside even on low.
I'm sold in their air circulation
Nice ad there bot
Can you imagine if Project Farm tested customer service? He'd age faster than a president.
For under $100 the Lasko High Velocity Blower (4924) is the best fan you can buy... in my opinion. It's a tower fan and not in this video, so I'd be interested in seeing how it'd compare.
Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for supporting the channel! I really appreciate it!
Maybe the best fans were all the subscribers you earned along the way. Thanks PF!
Such an underrated comment.
❤
That is a brilliant comment!
The only reason I came to the comment section was for a fan pun.... Congratulations you're the only one I saw. 😅
The fan I have has been in my family for as long as I can remember (I'm almost 70) it has an Oil Cup I give it a few drops of oil every summer. It has a wooden frame and still works great 👍 thx for the great video, Todd !
There is an Indian brand of fan called Remi-Cool that has bearings lubricated by large oil-retaining felt pads, and it has caps you can remove to uncover tubes through which you can add more oil without needing to disassemble the motor.
Nice! You are welcome!
I libe my fans every summer. they never broke
Back when there was American quality and pride in workmanship.
Please do a video on the effectiveness of different laundry detergents!
Thank you for the video idea!
Yes Iv been using the detergent sheets I love them.
Thats a good one.
Not just effectiveness but cost. Tide works great, for example, but costs a lot. I use Ariel detergent which is basically the same Tide powder formula in a cheap bag. The stuff is crazy good and cheap as can be. I have gallons of Costco liquid paid for but it just can't compare for effectiveness or cost.
@@ProjectFarm Please include unscented laundry detergents. Also detergents without brighteners, which are forbidden for military use (they glow like crazy under night vision+IR). I guess maybe that's two separate classes: 1) regular detergent 2) unscented & no-brightener detergent.
Who knew washing suds could be so interesting?
Project Farm rocks 💎
As an owner of a dreo fan glad to see my purchase is so highly rated. I can confirm that on the lower settings it is quiet. That was the major factor for purchasing it as i didn't want a noisy fan for calls. I do sit fairly close to it so cfm isn't that big of an issue for me but even on the 3 setting i can feel the air flow on the otherside of the living room about 10-15 feet away.
Thanks for the feedback.
In my opinion this is exactly what youtube is for, you can't really find it anywhere else. I can't even describe how grateful I am this channel exists :)
Thanks so much!
I got a brand new Vornado out of a Bed Bath and Beyond dumpster during Covid. Best fan I've ever owned.
I've had mine running almost every single our of the day for over 2 years. Still works great. I refuse to believe Amazon Basics fan is better than Vornado.
Vornado does engineering design in Andover Kansas. SO they at least give lots of attention to overall design and long life.
@@Janzer_My teenage son has run his pretty much nonstop for a similar length of time. They have a five yr warranty. Had one fail after 2 yrs. Contacted them. They requested I upload a picture of the circulator with the power cord cut right at the unit. A new one showed up 3 days later.
Why would they throw that out?
@@sonicmastersword8080 probably a customer return. Retails stores throw away lots of perfectly usable stuff that's not worth the hassle for them to process/ship/resell. I've also started checking dumpsters and found several things with only minor or cosmetic issues.
We've used a lot of Lasko tower fans over the years. After having a Dreo humidifier, we took a chance on a tower fan the same price as the one you tested, and the wife (who has to sleep with a fan blowing at her) loooves it. The smart feature is a bonus but the fan itself is killer. Sound is hardly noticeable, the auto function acts like wind that speeds up and slows down, has timer, and you can change how much oscillation it has (30,60,90 or 180 degrees). But her favorite feature is the display is ambient, so when the lights are off it's dark instead of glowing in your face all night.
Thanks for sharing.
I got a box fan at Dollar General a few months ago after moving in to a new place.. It was SO slow even on the highest setting. I think they cheaped out on the motor. My neighbor gave me one from the 90's and it pushed tons of air, even though the blade and box were the same size. Not all fans are equal!
Thanks for sharing!
There are videos comparing the current Lakewood box fan to the equivalent Lakewood from the 1980s. The new fans are nowhere near as well made. That's the quick summary.
@@LatitudeSky completely agreed. I should've known when it weighed absolutely nothing
A few years ago my grandparents gave me an old metal bladed box fan they had bought brand new at K-mart back in 1971, and that thing is an absolute powerhouse! It even has little spouts to add oil to the motor because believe it or not products used to be designed with repair in mind
@@alexsmith5584 If I could, all of the appliances I own would be older and built to be maintained instead of thrown away. It's so hard to find good old stuff nowadays though
Todd thanks for all the product testing and comparison you do for everyone. Back in 2015 I purchased a 16" oscillating fan from CVS $19.99 and it's still going strong. I clean it twice a year. Price wise things have changed, a lot.
Keep up the good work..
Thank you!
I can't come up with stuff to test. I'm so glad your viewers are so much smarter than I am. Thanks for all you do
My pleasure! Thanks for supporting the channel!
@ProjectFarm worth every penny
I ended up buying the Hurricane base on this video. I've been very pleased with it so far. Thank you for your thorough reviews!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Just ordered a dreo yesterday! Glad it came out on top
I love my Vornado fan. Been working for over 10 years and runs almost constantly. No issues.
Was not cheap, though.
Thanks for sharing!
My 280ss has a manufacture date of 1999. I still use it every summer. Only thing Ive had to do was fix the cord a couple years ago, but still running strong. I also have a newer 633DC and love the DC fan motors. Having an adjustable power knob is so much better than being limited to 3 speeds, and turned all the way down its so quiet you have to be close to it to hear it at all.
Vornado does engineering design in Andover Kansas. SO they at least give lots of attention to overall design and long life.
@@Inbal_Feuchtwanger Yeah I have been told newer models arent quite as good but the classics were well designed and built to last.
To keep inline with the fan testing, you should test blower fans as well. Growing up in Florida, whenever we lose power bc of a hurricane, my wife son and I each keep corded blower near us to keep the hot humid air moving around us. They're not quiet, but they do a great job keeping us comfortable and don't have a high amperage draw on the genetator.
Amazon Basics. Had it for 3 years and I love it. Best remote with every option you need. Nice heavy base. Metal enclosure. Only flaw...I wish it had an easy release fan cover. i like to give it a good cleaning every year. GREAT fan GREAT price. Glad to see it did so well in this review.
Thanks for sharing.
After testing all those fans, Todd is definitely now the coolest guy on the farm!
Thanks! Lol
For me, I want a loud fan for white noise. For a loud fan I think I’m going to go with the Pelonis.
Thanks for the test.
My tinnitus agrees with you. I've had great luck with the Vornado. 5 yr warranty and great customer service. Had one go out after 2 yrs. They requested I cut the power cord at the unit and upload that picture. 3 days later I received a new air circulator.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
I want white-noise AND a roaring breeze; Hurricane for me.
Need to do a box fan showdown.
Add the Air King 9723 to the list. It’s not the quietest, but the sound it makes has the best low hum - great for sleepers who like to sleep with a fan.
We need a folding hand fan showdown also
I just got an airking wall mount with a 1/6hp motor in my bedroom. It does the job! It says for commercial or industrial use only on the back. 😅
Would also love to see a box fan showdown 😊
Should also include the DIY box fan air purifier (with a MERV13 filter) vs actual HEPA air purifiers.
@@fartman10284I attach a 20" furnace filter to the back of my box fans. Give it a spritz of waxy furniture polish to improve filtering.
I bought the Amazon Basics one about 6 months ago and have been very happy with it. The remote works well and as we dont run it on high, it is quiet enough that I forget its on. Glad my choice came out so good on your tests.
Thanks for the feedback.
I have a Holmes oscillating fan I bought in 1994 for $27 at KMart. On high, it moves a lot of air but is loud! 30 years old and still going strong.
Thanks for sharing!
Don't ever throw it away.
My mom bought 2 small Vornado fans about 20 years ago. One of them died about 9 years later. I inherited the other and it is running right now. Not only does it have the best air speed, you can direct it with precision. If you don't want it to blow at you, it can blow near you without disturbing your documents.
I bought mine and unfortunately it died after a first hot summer here in 2023. Smelled like something burn
Thanks for sharing!
If it helps anyone, we have a 7 year old Pelonis on a screened in porch. It stays there 365 days per year (including winter). I can have a phone conversation with it right behind me on the low setting, and the only thing the person I'm talking to can hear is the sound of the air passing by. Now, if they could just make them like the 74 year old fan I have in my home workshop. That will probably outlast me by years. Thanks as always.
You are welcome!
Pelonis makes an excellent 20” Box fan! I use several in my workshop, with filters attached; A poor man’s air filtration system! 😆 Filters help the fans last longer. They have been up for over three years now, and run 24/7/365!
We have a Pelonis DC oscillating fan. It’s super quiet but the oscillation mechanism started to rattle after less than a year of use.
@@Sashazur Great fan because it’s so quiet
I bought the Amazon basics fan based off your test Todd, and have used it now a for a few days. Absolutely thrilled with my purchase! I wanted a fan that moved a lot of air but was quiet and this ticked both of those boxes. Thank you for all the hard work you put into testing all these products, as it has saved me countless hours of research.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
My Lasko fan has been running for dang near 10 years now without turning it off. 😂 The trick is to keep the fan from accumulating dust on the motor and rear.
Thanks for the feedback.
And keeping the cage and blades clean of dust makes a huge difference.
The test we neeeded !
Thank you very much!
Yeah maybe a bit late though
unfortunately, 3 weeks late. but it's closer to the right time than most would be.
I haven't seen the video yet but I'm already a huge FAN. And it comes at a great time
Thank you very much!
Always enjoy your videos. I have a couple of old Patton fans. They are about 18 to 20 inch in size. They are all metal even the blades. No frills to them and not the quietest but these fans move a lot of air even on the low setting.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Just for your information, most fans use a shaded pole motor and they vary the phase angle thus achieving different RPM under load. This is why you see mostly the same power usage on low and on high. The strator produces the same amount of magnetic field (thus requiring the same amount of power) but if the phase angle is too high it will have less torque. Less torque means lower achievable RPM under load. As an experiment you can remove the fan blade, and the measured RPM in all speed setting will be the same.
The DREO one running from DC and it most likely has a BLDC motor + inverter.
I have both Dreo and Vornado fans. For the price, Dreo has made me happy with their smaller oscillating fans on low speed, but for higher CFM, I really like the more energy efficient Vornado "Energy Smart" line that allows you to control the speed with about 100 different levels of power. The Dreos we have are super easy to clean, Vornado a bit more of a pain.
Thanks for sharing!
I have the Amazon fan, worked great for about a year until it decided to start oscillating all on its own and there was no turning it off. Even when you powered off the fan, it just kept oscillating. I even unplugged it waited like 30 minutes and as soon as I plugged it back in it started oscillating and I haven't turned it on yet. I ended up disconnecting the oscillating motor since it was obviously separate from the fan motor unlike the manual ones. The fan features still work and I still use it for now.
I'm a fan! Don't know how you keep it up, but lot's of fun, as always. Hope you and yours are well and you can continue to keep us smiling. Cheers Mate!
YES!! Worth the wait todd! So happy to see you do this at last!
Thank you very much!
I remember the old metal blade box fans that we put in the windows when we were kids. Didn’t have any A/C and those fans murdered anything that came in their reach!
I still have one of those things! I just give it a bit of 3-in-1 electric motor oil every year and it probably moves at least twice as much air as the new stuff (and it’s actually quieter too lol)
Yeah they would not die we got one out of a dump . Took it home oil it up new cord worked for years in the garage. Till it got crushed.
I had one that ran 24/7 behind my wood stove in the winter. Lost track of how many times I revived it with compressed air and some oil.
As I type this right handed with 3 fingers ..... I totally agree with you !! 😏👍🏻
HA yep
Happy to see your video on only fans is still the quality content we rely on. Thanks Todd!
I see what you did there lol - underrated comment!
Portable AC comparison would be great! I'm sure a ton of people caught in the begging of the summer every year would stumble on your videos and be very appreciative. Also I just want to say I enjoy your videos and the work you do a whole lot, Thank you!

Ive been in the market for a fan for a while, thanks for your videos!
You're welcome!!
Thank you! 🙏 Your channel needs to be in the Hall of Fame!
Thanks and you are welcome!
I think a fused plug is an important safety feature for a fan. Might stop a fire if the fan over-amps.
I chose the Lasko AirFlex 2-in-1 20" box fan, which mounts an easily removable 20x20x1 HVAC filter right on the fan. The extra deep feet limit its usefulness as a window fan, but it looks better than a bungie holding a filter on a regular 20" box fan (which I also have) - plus the motor is designed for reduced air flow (when the filter is in place).
Thanks for another thoughtful and useful video! Always look forward to what goodies you have in store this week. :)
Thanks and you are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
The whole house stopped what they were doing to come watch the lastest Project Farm vid. Way more in depth than i thought fan reviews could be. Results were very different than what i was expecting. Amazing vid, keep up the great work!
Thanks!
Great video, PF!
I will say as someone who dealt with a 102° home for nearly a month in Florida, AIR CIRCULATORS are a life saver, and a large one / multiple can replace AC at least for a room.
Fans have a larger area of effect, but air circulators (thank god for Vornado) move so much friggen air that it cools the entire room well, although good luck with any loose papers 😂
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
We have several Vornados. Some we've had for many years and none have disappointed.
Thanks for sharing!
Vornado does engineering design in Andover Kansas. SO they at least give lots of attention to overall design and long life.
5yr warranty, 10yr I believe on some of the new eco models. Great customer service. Had issues with one after two years. Contacted them.They had me cut the power cord right at the unit and upload that picture. I received a new one 3 days later. Can't beat that.
Another excellent review and timely - my 10+ yo Lasko oscillating fan died last week, and I was frustrated reading reviews on Amazon. Packaging is the most common frustration. Your data is always very helpful and appreciated 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
My Hurricane oscillating fan arrived today. Surprised they (Amazon) ship in the raw retail box, but arrived in decent shape. Nut/bolt for attaching head unit onto post was loose in the box, and nearly missed/lost, which I think you also mentioned. Happy so far, and appreciate your perspective 👍👊🇺🇸🤘
~~Satisfied w/Pelonis 40" tower fan goin on 3yrs now&cost less than one you tested. When tested it was like 425cfm on low. Cleaning is bit more intricate than normal fans though.
KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO SIR.
Thanks, will do!
I"m a "fan" of the Honeywell HF910C 18" fan. It doesn't come with a stand (also can't tip over) but it really delivers. It moves a ton of air, is relatively quiet (CFM per dB) and has what I consider a "medium" price. On a hot day I use it to rapidly cool the house after the sun goes down by sticking it in front of a screen door.
ISWYDT 😉👍
Prefect timing... now i can go buy one.
Thanks for sharing!
I've had fans, but now I only buy blower fans, specifically lasko blower fan. Moves air so well.
Thanks for sharing!
LASKO cyclones are the best!!
Been using a Lasko tower fan for well over a decade, it just won't quit!
Excellent comparison! All I ever get for new fans are Vornados. I keep a DC circulator and a Transom window fan on pretty much 24/7 for the dogs. Electric bill is easily under $100 and they also have excellent customer service/warranty people. Their space heaters are nice too, heats up the room quite fast.
quite ironic, my wife just burned out the motors on two of ours back to back in a bad outlet less than a week ago, thanks for the legwork!
You are welcome!
A project farm video to enhance the sunday evening? Its like christmas mornin'!
Thank you very much!
From the headline, I thought you were testing the biggest fans of the 'Project Farm' channel, and I was offended for not being included in the test! 😀Another great video, thank you so much. It would have been interesting to see a Dyson fan in the mix.
Thank you for the video idea!
Funny comment! 👍
a dyson would be nice but he woupd have to compare it with similar fans because obviously its gonna beat all sub 100$ fans by a long shot haha
After all these years of testing, I am always amazed by each new video! One needs to look no further than Amazon Basic or Hurricane for good fan at a good value.
Thanks!
For a better part of the power consumption tests, the power monitor was switched to milliamp setting and you were reading it off as watts? You would have to multiply the milliamp reading by the voltage to get the wattage?

49.32 W
518 mA
62.16 W

610 mA
73.2 W
818 mA
98.16 W
Aigostar
459 mA
55.08 W
500 mA
60W
Simple Deluxe

322 mA
38.64 W
Vornado
584 mA
70.08 W

115.08 W
I noticed this as well. But without a actual volts measurement these corrected calculations could be off by 20%. hopefully PF has the voltage recorded at time of testing or can retest the fans were affected.
A problem I've had with newer fans is deterioration of the oscillating function after continuous use over a year
Thanks for sharing!
Same. We’ve had a Pelonis DC motor fan for about a year (different model from the one in the video) and only use it in the summer. The fan itself is ultra quiet at low speeds but when oscillating, in the past few months it’s started to rattle and clunk - maybe I wouldn’t notice if the motor was louder. I tried tightening up everything but it didn’t help.
Probably cheap plastic gears wearing out.
@F0XD1E I don't think I ever been in a situation where I disassemble a fan and found anything other than plastic gears.
And for all I know, this saves pennies.
Sitting outside in Houston, TX on July 30th, I had three fans blowing on me. Since fans inevitably get replaced, you better believe I paid close attention to this review. Great job!
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
Best car battery brand! Won't be easy but soo helpful
Was tested on this channel, scroll down vids, I believe a couple years ago ... ✌️More than 10 yrs I use DEKA battery, very reliable, would recommend 👍
Facts@@otarsulava
@@otarsulava just watched it. Only really tested cranking amps and CCA. So I'll reiterate. Best battery brand! Won't be easy but soo helpful.
@@_RiseAgainstbases on a mixed reviews, I agree it's a bit difficult to choose the brand. The DEKA battery I mentioned, as for now is in my Mazda Protege 5, been about 3 yrs, I ski all my life and visit high elevation areas in winter season (had 2 front Toyo winter tires). Mornings about 10 degrees this battery cranks up the car without a hesitation, also to note, I use this car on my part time gig delivery work, many stops and go scenarios here, speaking about the facts, I recently tested my battery with specific tester before the long trip and still showed 95% total capacity with a good cranking. Would put DEKA on the list to buy, hope this helps ✌️ P.S make sure your serpentine belt is in good shape, no cracks and adjustments is within a specs...
Can you test out portable air conditioning units.?

I bought a Pelonis in 2017 and it's still going strong. We've been using the fan almost every day/night even in the winter. we love the white noise and the powerful breeze it provides. No hiccups but they do need cleaning like all products and lube if you want it to last.

@@awholelotofnothing6456 Fantastic😁
I started buying Vornado desk and room fans back in 1987 after burning out the motors on several cheaper brands. I had no AC in the house in San Antonio in the summer, so I lived with the fan blowing 24/7. The Vornado never melted down. Back then they were easier to clean than today's models, but I still get them when they are on sale.
Thanks for sharing.
This one really blew me away! I've been a fan for a long time and I love how you make product testing look like a breeze! Okay, okay I'm done!
Tower fans are what I use the most because they can fit under desks. Also desk fans are pretty popular too, Lasko has a pretty popular 15" dual rotating fan and the Sharper Image AXIS 16 is very interesting as well.
Thanks for sharing.
I must say that I'm a fan of this channel. I'm blown away by the quality of the content. A breath of fresh air as opposed to the mindless drivel of lesser product reviewers.
Curious about smaller 10" - 12" fans. The more compact type without the stands and oscillating parts. The sound of a fan is a soothing thing to me at night. Summer, Winter, I don't care, I NEED that sound. So the super quiet ones are not what I would go for. Pedestals and oscillation are not high priorities for me either. What I really look for is that is should not make any loud 60hz hums or if it rattles. Any kind of ticking, pinging or rattling and the summbich might go out the window. Another thing is resonance. Mains power is not perfectly smooth and can peak or dip. At any point in the fans speed range, whether by setting or fluctuations in power supply, if it resonates or begins any kind of throbbing sound, it too stands a chance at a 2 story, one-way ticket to the lawn. I like metal fans (wait, I AM a Metal fan..🤘🎸) But they risk being the worst at the resonant vibrations, since the blades can actually start singing or ringing out a steady, annoying tone akin to a tuning fork. As well as the metal parts of the shroud and grille tinging and rattling if not solidly fastened together.
Good fan: Manual control with real switches/knobs. Smooth operation. Compact. Steady white noise. NO rattles, hums, tings, or ringing. Switch accessible on the front is a bonus. Metal construction is a bonus.
Bad fan: Shaky, vibrates the table or vibrates itself off the table. Digital crapola. So weak that it blows nothing. Rattles, rings, hums etc.
But that's my opinion.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm a shift worker, and a noisy fan helps my sleep, so looks like the Pelonis is a great fit for me. Thanks for the test we didn't think we needed, but grateful you did!
You are welcome!
I absolutely love your channel. It has proved to be very useful when I'm looking for a product that you've taken the time to test. Thank you for your efforts to find the best product for all of the jobs around the house and barn. 🙂
Very useful. I have a Comfort Zone ($17) that has operated all night every night for six years and counting. I had another identical unit that smoked and died after 20 minutes. (!) I have two 18" Holmes, both of which slowed down considerably after two seasons, and required disassembly to clean and lubricate the bearings to restore their work ethic to original.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
PF, you read my mind! My Lasko standing fan broke last week, and now I'm in need of a new one. Bought a GooLoo jump box, Lexivon torque wrench, Seafoam, and a bunch of other stuff based on your reviews. You're costing me a lot of money lol.
Thanks for sharing!
@@ProjectFarm PF, can you do a GDI test? Find out if stuff like CRC intake vale and turbo cleaner actually work? I own a Mazda3 with 25k on the clock, and it's a GDI engine and I was wondering if something like CRC is worth doing for preventative measure to avoid walnut blasting in the future.
My Vornado ran on high 7 years straight before starting to squeek to where I couldn't repair it. Vornado gave me a discount on my new one. 3 years on high into my new vornado and its going strong!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you again for another comprehensive and informative video. We have three Amazon basics fans and they work great with no issues. For the price you can’t beat the performance.
Thanks for sharing.
Your video reviews are the best Todd. Out of modern fans the Vornados are the best
I have the shorter version of the Dreo. I absolutely love that thing. The ways in which you can program it are amazing. And it is super quiet......
Thanks for the feedback.
Purchased the WOOZOO globe fan from
Costco and it is the best one I’ve used. Huge upgrade from Vornado. Very quiet and powerful, oscillates U+D & L+R, and it’s fallen off of my bed once or twice without any damage. Bought three at $40 CAD.
Thanks for sharing.
Great review as always! Thanks Todd. I’d love to see tests on the following:
1) laundry & dishwasher detergents
2) waterproof electric razors
3) electric tooth brushes
4) updated rechargeable batteries
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestions.
@@ProjectFarm you’re very welcome =)
strong second for a video on dehumidifiers. maybe also window AC units while you're at it - you could even make the latter two different ones, for window units and then 'portable' units (the ones with the hose). love your stuff mate.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I used a Vornado for 8 years without issue, constantly on high every night for white noise. Replaced with another Vornado and it's doing the same thing for another 8+ years. Best fans I've had.
Thanks for sharing.
Great video! These new fans feel pretty flimsy, so it's good to know which ones have a quality feel and which ones will hold up under a tip over. Also, it's good to know which fan tips easier!
Noise is important to know as well as how much air the fan moves and how much electricity it uses!
For a future video idea, can you compare window air conditioners and also those portable rolling air conditioners with the big hoses.
Your hard work is appreciated!
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion.
I am a fan of fans. We have at least one in every room in our home. Thanks for this comparison. Well done.
Thanks and you are welcome!
