20" Fan Harbor Freight vs Walmart Mainstay

[@1VaDude]

Fair comparison.

[@DK_427]

Just what I need. The 20” HF is one sale for $39.99 now.

[@AZTMCS]

Yes $39.99 this week :) (thru 8/17/23 with coupon)

[@trafficknpounds3427]

Yea about to go one now

[@slapchris3152]

I missed it 😔

[@AZTMCS]

Bummer - it will probably be on sale again someday...

[@davidzeringuethefanman6292]

Nothing compares to older fans I have a bonch of older high velocity fans like Lakewood and patton

[@kevrides5706]

Thanks for the info!

[@TheCSRTech]

Looks very similar to the Commercial Electric and Maxx Air fans at Home Depot for about the same price. But to do a real comparison you need to put a Kill-O-Watt meter on the fans and use an anemometer ($15 on the jungle site) for objective measurements.

[@AZTMCS]

Good points.

[@Eevee_kwh]

Nice review! I’ll be picking up the HF one for my garage. Thanks

[@AZTMCS]

Cool, I think they were still on sale.

[@rellmonger7935]

Kool, Thanks for the info

[@N8Burn]

thank you for this video 💯💯💯

[@AZTMCS]

Glad to do it. Thanks for watching. Note that I've added another version with more data.

[@BrandonMeeks-d2u]

It doesn’t come with a mount though?

[@AZTMCS]

Niether of these two have any holes in the base. To mount it to a wall takes a single hook that would allow the base to sit flush on the wall. The fan can be rotated up 90° to blow straight out from the wall. The Mainstay offers more adjustment angle in this application (past 90°).

[@shampoomaster5787]

I just bought a hypertough fan from walmart 7000 cfm and it does come with a mount

[@AZTMCS]

Both of these would mount the same way as the Hypertough, but the hook is not provided.

[@WILLIAMEARLE-sf6vy]

Clean the blades on the main stay. Clean blades blow more air.

[@AZTMCS]

I think the blades were pretty clean on the Mainstay, but do agree that dirty blades will affect performance. Thanks for watching.

[@malibustacy3606]

Could I install misters to these fans that would "reliably" spray vegetable oil on the contestants of a bikini tickle fight and oil wrestling event we're having to raise money for charity.

[@AZTMCS]

Anything can be attempted, but no guarentee on the result. Try at your own risk. You may want a stronger fan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5_MkJyEhtx6q9U

"I'll Do iiiiiiittt!!!!!

[@AZTMCS]

If that was tried here in Phoenix, the contestants would be cooked.

[@Joey.Shields]

Do it bot..

[@Phone-sh7jg]

I guess it just comes down to which factory made these in China.

[@AZTMCS]

For sure these two at least come from China, but they do perform differently. I might get another brand sometime (when on sale...) for more comparison. Thanks for watching.

[@rickyt6343]

Harbor freight fan is actually made in Vietnam and with a coupon you can get it for 39.99

[@Phone-sh7jg]

@@rickyt6343 the Viet Cong are very friendly bunch, like Thais. Unlike, the enemy communist China.

[@AZTMCS]

@@rickyt6343 Interesting, I couldn't find the origin on the fan, and didn't have the box anymore. So I admit, I assumed China. Thanks.
