1980s Mitsubishi compac vs 1970s Mistral Gyro-aire 12” box fans: Which is better?

[@Theutmostgeek]

im suprised that the mitsubishi is newer then the gyro aire. thought it was the other way round based on the design.

I didn't see that at first but I see what you mean by the mitsubishi looking older. Also pifco sold a box fan that is very similar to that mitsubishi in the 1980s as well
