Fans - Wtf Is It With Wall-mount Fans??

[tattoojim]

My air king locked up on me was making that buzzing sound that electric motors make when they are powered but can't turn and the thing was hot as hell. Had it for around 6 months

Just give it a lil boost to get going , then just don't shut it off lol

Tried messing with it but I could barely get it to turn my hand, she was bound up somehow

I was just messing bro..Just trashed a stand fan last week, that had a issue when it stopped lol

Glad you've had luck with them, I bought one and it didn't last so I just use the disposable ecoplus

I have 11 airkings that are going on 4 plus years without a hiccup,a few floor mounts and the rest wall mounts.The only real issue ive had is one doesnt oscillate 100% in one direction after i smashed my head into it but its really no big deal.

Is it just me ? I replace Chinese made fans every 24 months whether they run or not due to fire safety concerns. And I replace my timers yearly.

I do live in a condominium with lives at risk.

Air kings work the best for me.

Yep, quite a bit more expensive but I have yet had one fail on me....

Only 4 reviews but, they're all good. Nothing about longevity though, guess you'll find out.

WD 40 and electrical are no problem though.

Here's a neat little factoid. WD stands for Water Displacement.

Eons ago in another life I used to work in the Oil Industry, the Geophysical side of it anyway. We did 3D seismic surveys to determine where to drill for oil. Anyways, we had boats that sank will millions of dollars of instrumentation on board and was able to salvage things by breaking them down, rinsing everything with distilled water, and then spraying it all down with WD 40. Crazy shit.

Back on to target conversation. I ordered a Lasko fan the other day on ebay and the switch was broken on it, so the seller refunded me. I contacted Lasko to see if I could get a new switch and they said I would have to order the whole motor assembly. Cool thing about that though is they make Air King and I found out that I can get the motor assembly for my wall mounts for like 40 bucks. :-)

Lasko makes air king?Ill be damned,good to know.
