2:04 Sorry for the necropost! I have the same fan under the brand name "Commercial Electric" from Home Depot. There is a resettable fuse in this fan. I proved this by increasing the pitch of the blades beyond what the motor is designed to handle, causing it to overheat. It turned off for a few minutes then turned itself back on. Also, these are ball-bearings and not sleeve bearings (I tore the motor apart). Hope this info helps.

[@JordanU]

That's very surprising to me. These seem kind of cheapy made.

[@sccpsteve]

​@@JordanU The only downside is that the capacitor that came with the motor in my particular fan, presumably due to years of use judging by the dust accumulation, has drifted and read 13 uF. Considering the amount of dust on your drum fan, I highly recommend that you test it and replace it if it is drifted, which it probably is. Also, the wiring is not secured in mine either. Furthermore, the cross braces holding the front of the motor up is OEM. It came with my fan too. Feel free to let me know if you would like more info about the drum fan.

[@zackdepalma6184]

Mine runs 24/7 in the summer and it is still working like new and I had it for 4 years now and I never oiled it or anything

[@JordanU]

That's good to hear..

[@sccpsteve]

Sorry for the necropost. There is no need to oil the motor as it is a ball bearing motor. The best you can do is apply grease to the ball bearings.

Tag sales rarely take place where I live. Except the occasional annual neighborhood garage sale thing.

[@JordanU]

That's a bummer..

[@FSM_Reviews]

@@JordanU Trash finds aren't as uncommon as tag sales in my area, but are still pretty rare. Like today, I was taking a walk in my neighborhood and came across a Lasko tower fan poking out of a trash can. I also happened to spot a little CD and Radio boombox in someone else's trash can. And by trash can, I mean something like this: images.homedepot-static.com/productImages/6f485c4a-3012-4f3e-b7c2-dc7e9d8abe7e/svn/toter-commercial-trash-cans-79264-r2968-64_1000.jpg

Cool fan I bet that fan would be nice on a hot summers day. Is that oreck xl in the background the one you got the other day.

[@JordanU]

Yes it is..

[@JT-rc7vx]

Mine has a rusty blade and makes a ton of noise and moves nearly zero air. The blade is literally seized to the shaft so off to the junkyard it goes

[@vacexpert2020]

I've got the Commercial Electric version from Home Depot and it's no slouch when it comes to air movement, I'm sure Billy Trew would disagree but it blows a Lasko 3733 out of the water, no contest

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

What's the difference between maxxair pro and just maxxair?

[@JordanU]

I'm not familiar enough with MaxxAir's product line to know, but my guess is the Pro models are probably better quality or intended for more commercial applications..

[@vacexpert2020]

@@JordanU Pro is more targeted towards contractors, vanilla MaxxAir is more targeted towards consumers who want more air movement than the likes of a Lasko 3733, only difference is color scheme and price, though this exact fan is sold at Home Cheapo under the "Industrial" electric brand, or it was last time I was at a Home Cheapo

The blades look like a whole house fan's blades!

[@JordanU]

Perhaps some of the newer whole house fans..

[@r1ckastl3y86]

@@JordanU the blades on my whole house fan look nothing like the blades on this drum fan. It is a big and heavy well made blade and it has a motor 10 times bigger than the motor in this drum fan. That is because the whole house fan is a very old one and is made with actual quality. It is at least from somewhere in between the 60's and 70's.

[@JordanU]

@@r1ckastl3y86 You should record a video of it.

You saying that the motor on an old house fan is as big or bigger than this drum fan.

plz reply. what is the rpm of the motor?

[@JordanU]

plz reply? I don't know what the RPM is, the specs are probably listed on the Maxxair, or another retailer's, website.

[@vacexpert2020]

@@JordanU I would guestimate the RPMs to be 825/1075, that's pretty standard for that type of fan

These aren't the most well-made fans out there, I don't think it would take too much to cause damage.. I'm surprised to see something like this at a Goodwill..

Thailand is not China, TAIWAN is China. Big difference. So that motor is probably much better than a China one. That wiring above the tag didn't look too great... That slow speed is way too fast for my preferences, but I'll forgive it in that it's something that's meant to move a lot of air rather than a comfortable, quiet breeze. But something this big should have at least three speeds. Maybe it's a more budget model.

[@JordanU]

Perhaps I should have gotten out a map before the video.... I still don't like that it's made off shore, but at least that gives it a little more promise.. I don't care for that wiring at all,, those connections should really be at least secured to something, if not enclosed in a box.. I'll investigate it when I open it up for cleaning and servicing, if there's enough slack for that to get near the blades, then a re-wire will be performed.. I share the same opinion.. I saw another video of this fan and it seemed like the slow speed was a lot slower.. I read somewhere that low is rated at 2,800 CFM and high is 4,000, so our perceptions are accurate.. I think your theory is correct, it's not meant for small areas or personal comfort where control over the air is desired.. It's meant to move a lot of air though a large area.. I don't think this is a budget model.. I have another MaxxAir fan, and it doesn't bear the Pro label.. So if anything, I'd wager these are the higher-end of their productions.. I looked at a number of other models, all the way up to the 60" versions all only have 2 speeds.. Ironically enough though, my non-pro MaxxAir has 3..

[@vacexpert2020]

@@JordanU Probably just cost more, I've seen identical fans sold under the Commercial Electric brand, typical of modern fans, except TSC Countyline, those aren't branded under a bunch of names and are actually half ass decent

I was looking at these, but settled on a 22" 3-blade model with a 1040 RPM motor. Quieter.
