Mainstays SFC1-500B 20" High Velocity Floor Fan | Initial Checkout

[@KingShadStarSeed9]

I lovvvvve loud fans they help me sleep soo well. The sound soothes me

[@jace_Henderson]

This has a great noise for sleeping for me. I love that deep whooshing hum on a fan. Idk if the hyper tough 5 blade 20in fan has the same noise though.

[@JordanU]

I like the sound of this fan as well, but it's far too powerful for me to use in the bedroom.

[@land094]

Am I the only one that like the sound

[@JordanU]

No.

[@LemontTheFanMan]

wow what an Powerful fan Jordan sounds like my new air and vie air 18" models also my polor air model can't wait to see you serviced it soon good video bro i enjoyed it

[@JordanU]

True it does seem like those two you have, they probably all come out of the same factory in the China.

[@LemontTheFanMan]

@@JordanU Yes they do just under different brand names lol

[@heroknaderi]

I bought this fan at Walmart a few years ago. It eventually died tried to fix the motor but seems the windings fail easily imo Bit it’s very Powerful 👍😎

[@JordanU]

Not good.

[@tinawhite4605]

I need wire diagram for on off switch.

[@XiiOMARAxp]

Would it be too loud to have in the living room ?

[@JordanU]

You'd have to turn up the volume on the TV, but it's not intolerable.

[@MrMrdavis98]

Nice fan, for it to be from Walfart and "made in the China". What do you think of this vs the TPI fan? From a quality standpoint, I'm sure the TPI trounces this one, but what about from a performance standpoint? They both seem to be rather noisy, and with not much variation of speeds between the 3...

[@JordanU]

I'll have to use them side-by-side at some point. I'm sure this one isn't as powerful as the TPI, but it doesn't seem like it's that far off either.

[@specsbundy1392]

are the blades metal?

[@JordanU]

Yes

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Good initial checkout video bro on the mainstays 20" high velocity floor fan model SFC1-500B It is made in china these were sold at Wal-Mart for about $45 to $50 the pitch on these blades are not terrible it also has a decent size motor I love the start-up sound on these fans and they move a lot of air

[@JordanU]

thanks.

[@KingShadStarSeed9]

@@JordanU hello sir. Do you think these are better than the lasko high velocity 20 inch? I love the sound of your fans they the sound puts me to sleep

[@JordanU]

@@KingShadStarSeed9 I don't know, I've never worked with the Lasko model.

[@KingShadStarSeed9]

@@JordanU OK thank you for responding. I ended up ordering the iliving floor fan.

[@fantime2061]

Hey cool fan can u do a comparison video of this fan with the 18 inch TPI fan and maybe that Lakewood HV 21 fan

[@JordanU]

I will do some comparison videos with this fan.

[@fantime2061]

@@JordanU ok thanks

[@Alco16-251F]

I think 5280 cfm is under rated. It moves A LOT more air than that! I would definitely say this beast moves AT LEAST 6000 CFM of air .

[@JordanU]

It has a high velocity to it but I don't think the volume is all that much. I don't trust the CFM ratings provided by the manufactures, they're all over the place and don't seem accurate or credible.

[@solomonburgess8196]

You could use that as a wall fan or a floor fan or a garage fan it made in China and it still a powerful floor fan. And its blow a lot of air and that’s a nice floor fan. But the fan Motor needs oil so it can run faster as a good as new like a good floor fan.

[@JordanU]

I know.

[@BesthanddryerakaWDA]

Rebadged HDX fan. In my opinion low speed could’ve been a bit more gentle. Low speed sounds like a super table fan on the medium speed and high speed on high setting for the super

[@JordanU]

HDX, like Mainstays, is just a name. These are sold under quite a few names. I agree, the low speed is too fast and there's not enough difference between the speeds. That's how most of the fans are today.

[@BesthanddryerakaWDA]

@@JordanU The low speed on this fan is the medium on a Super desk fan

[@JordanU]

@@BesthanddryerakaWDA That doesn't make sense.

[@BesthanddryerakaWDA]

@@JordanU I meant to say the low speed on this Mainstays feels like the medium speed on my Super 12” desk fan

[@GrandTheft60116]

I bought a 2018 Mainstays Oscillating 16 Stand Fan and it makes gap Oise and I returned it to Walmart

[@JordanU]

That doesn't make sense.

[@GrandTheft60116]

@@JordanU Sorry about that

[@srini9653]

Thanks for the review. Through this video I have learnt it is quiet powerful but noisy though. Still on my shopping list just beause it is metal not any cheap plastic. One for the life I guess!!

[@JordanU]

Air King makes some metal fans like this that are a fair bit quieter, but you're also paying several times more.

[@Alco16-251F]

That is a very nice fan, nice video buddy.

[@JordanU]

Thanks

[@deeivy777]

Thank you for making this video. It helped me make a decision before buying it, instead of buying it to find out how loud it is.

[@JordanU]

You're welcome.

[@kylepersaud9525]

That's a really nice fan thanks for the video bro

[@JordanU]

You're welcome.

[@colmmagner3465]

Loud as a jet plane on low!!

[@JordanU]

It's too fast and loud on the low speed for my preference.

[@DuckboyTheDuck]

cool new fan

[@Sonic_X_Freddy_Lover001]

I like your profile picture. I remember watching Breadwinners when I was a little younger.

Thanks

My grandmother has one from 2017 it’s very powerful though and very well balanced

[@davidzeringuethefanman6292]

But I got it back

[@JordanU]

Thanks for letting me know.

[@ironclads3023]

I cannot not agree more, stuff made in China is tremendously horrible I'd rather have something made in Japan for my fan collection. I have a vintage toastmaster box fan and that very old box 1950s box fan that I found in the dumpster, when I cleaned it after having it in my garage for a couple of months I looked underneath the fan and it said made in the USA , it just shows how vintage fans are better then modern pieces of crap fans are.

[@JordanU]

The 1950s produced some of the best quality box fans ever.

[@jamesgreerii786]

I have a high velocity fan

[@JordanU]

OK

[@Barnabas45]

I avoid made in China whenever possible which is Impossible!

[@JordanU]

I try to as well, which usually means buying something older.

[@theericfreeze1493]

Ive tried to avoid these

[@JordanU]

Why?

[@theericfreeze1493]

@@JordanU i always was uncomfortable with the grills on this fan. I have not seen one before so don't take my opinion to far.

[@JordanU]

@@theericfreeze1493 They're not nearly as sturdy as the grills on a TPI or the old Pattons, but they're strong enough to be safe.
