What's the most durable electric fan?/Electric Fans Talk

[Alpha_One]

Panasonic and KDK are very good. Yung bentilador na gamit ko ngayon matanda pa sa bahay namin.

As for the plastic used for the blades, I actually find the current "flexible" fan blades to be much more durable than the old "makunat" plastic on our older fans (brittle and easily broken). Metal blades are no doubt durable, but they're also very noisy and dangerous if there are little kids in the house - hence they're more suited for industrial applications. Not that there's any shortage on spare blades - yung bentilador ko dito pangatlong blade na niya ata ito heheh.

*ess: Ionizers are worthless. They just create harmful low-altitude ozone and do not do much in actually cleaning the air. A CRT TV screen attracting dust serves a better "ionizer".

Our old fans are from Standard and 3D..But I had a bad experience with the 3D deskfan "coolwind series" that I bought last year. After about 4months its rotor is already stuck-up!ang tigas nung blade pag iniikot and it emits a high-pitched sound..tried a DIY approach by disassembling the motor part (dahil na rin sa asar) and put some oil, but to no avail..never bothered to bring it back to the shop to avail of its warranty..pag kasi mga "small" things parang too much hassle ung magke-claim pa warranty (imagine the thought of carrying a good-as-junk material)...now i stay away from the 3D brand..i tried the Cool Air brand from ACE Hardware..so far so good..that's why I already have 2 units..got the 1st one on-sale (trial lang) and the 2nd unit on a regular price..
