Weiye (Skyri) 17” USB Mini Ceiling Fan | Unboxing

Today we’re checking out a generic 17” USB mini ceiling fan. Over the years I’ve been seeing many videos on these types of portable ceiling fans on KZbin, so that got me into purchasing one to evaluate if they’re any good. My first impressions are pretty good overall. The fan does stir up a steady breeze and it’s fairly quiet. The quality is still questionable and only time will tell how well this little fan holds up. Thanks for watching!

yes so cd👍

[@midnight94387]

Finally a ceiling fan I can afford

[@TheSuperFanMan]

😂

[@TheBigern22]

I bought 2 for my efficiency apartment since its older and doesnt have ceiling fans. They work great...cheap yes but they work great

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Nice! Yeah I found this to be a decent fan. Mine has been running frequently since I bought it and so far I haven’t ran into any issues.

[@davidjd123]

thinking of buying one for my tent.

[@Sirawesomej904]

Is the blades soft enough to touch while spinning? I don’t want any head’s chopped off.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

The blades are semi-flexible plastic. I wouldn’t worry about getting injured by them, though they’ll probably startle you if you accidentally touch the fan when it’s running.

[@wesleysceilingfanjoint5255]

I might get one of these for a canopy tent that is covering our patio

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It might be too weak for outdoor use, since the natural wind will easily overpower the fan.

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

The only thing I hate is since these have dc motors, they have a SUPER FAST spindown and I want these to have at least a 1 min spindown time other than that it’s the best mini fan out there

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Right, it has a lot of magnetic resistance that causes the short spin down. It would definitely be neat to have an AC mini ceiling fan that takes longer to spin down.

[@richardruiz7055]

What was your height of the ceiling? Normal Apartment ceilings are 8 feet high.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It’s about 9ft in the storage room where I hung the fan. It hangs down about 10” from the ceiling.

[@coled5090]

Neat, I like these mini fans and it's nice we can finally find them online to buy. That little model you made is very cool!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! I agree. They used to be harder to find and buy before. Curiousity got the best of me so I bought this when I saw it on Amazon.

[@Kristian____Forest]

I'm definitely gonna get one

[@McPanaikinOsu]

The fan is same as my Kyzuku, however, my Kyzuku is AC 220V when yours is DC 5V USB. I think the Kyzuku is OEM of Weiye. I think this is an alternative of a mini ceiling fan that in area doesn't have the power cord, instead you can plug in to USB port.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Cool, thanks for the info!

[@Connectitthefancollector]

It is better than I thought it would be

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I agree! All things considered, it seems to be a decent little fan.

[@williamworth2746]

I got it Amazon portable ceiling fan as well to hang over my aquarium

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Nice!

[@TheBehemothHyper]

My request is for you to show all the ceiling fans on your house. Including the mini ceiling fans! Please and thank you!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Sure thing! I can certainly do that. I’ll aim to film one during the summer break because the summer sun brings the best lighting for ceiling fan videos. Also I’m still just starting out my ceiling fan collection so hopefully by the time I record it, I’ll have a few new additions to the house :)

[@TheBehemothHyper]

@@TheSuperFanMan other then that room in the basement, your bedroom and your sisters room. Does any other rooms in your house have ceiling fans? If not, you should add more!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Not yet, but I will definitely be adding more in the future.

[@MatthewHenson.]

Hi recently I saw a fan on a TV program from the 1950s and the fan vas oscillating in a vertical plane as well as horizontal in a circular motion. Do you have any fans like this?

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Hi! I personally do not own a fan like that. Here’s one example one from another KZbinr. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4S8faV4p9mfsLs

[@MatthewHenson.]

@@TheSuperFanMan thank you very much

[@deandretan55]

Fans like that are common in Malaysia Indonesia and the Philippines.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yep! Seen many videos on these kinds of fans from those countries.

[@tvaquarium69]

I really like the fan but Mine got ticking or knocking sound. It loud. Don't know anyway to fix it or need some w40

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Is the sound similar to 8:38 in this video? If yes, it’s the motor’s stator fins rubbing against the rotor. The internals seem cheaply made so things don’t precisely line up the way they should. I was able to fix mine by opening it up and gently bending the stator fins to stop the rubbing. It was a very tedious task and the fan’s plastic motor casing suffered some minor damage from prying while opening. If it’s another sound, some WD-40 might work, though it will likely be a temporary fix. Unfortunately these fans are not designed to be easily serviced.

[@tvaquarium69]

@@TheSuperFanMan yes But it probably 10 time louder

[@Archie.9005]

These types of fans are really common across Asia, but their AC instead of DC and could only consume around from 8w to 30w of electricity

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Indeed, I’ve seen some videos from Asian KZbin users of similar AC mini ceiling fans. They’re pretty much non-existent in North America though.

[@Archie.9005]

@@TheSuperFanMan you should do a teardown vid of it tho, I'm kind of curious too on what's inside the motor

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I might be able to do it with one of the recent mini ceiling fans I got, but unfortunately not with this particular fan. It’s annoyingly assembled with hidden clips that aren’t designed to be undone. The ones I got recently however, have screws holding the motor together, so I should be able to take it apart and perhaps make a video when I get a chance.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

Great unboxing video on the generic USB ceiling fan that cost $23 I'm surprised that the blades are not broken however it feels brittle

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks!

[@vishalkanwar1524]

What type of motor is used inside, is it DC brushless????

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I believe it is DC brushless, though I’m not fully sure. I heard somewhere that it could be some sort of an AC motor, hence the reason why some of them run on line voltage.

[@Dave_en]

Too small fan, probably for shop counter or study table. But in india people are innovative. They manufacture small size high speed ceiling fans in low cost that operate directly from the mains supply. Its portable too. It hardly costs between $5-10. Ceiling fans range starts from $15 and goes upto several hundred dollars.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Neat! Seems like there’s a greater diversity in fans in India. I sure can’t say I’ve seen ceiling fans that inexpensive around here, other than these kinds of mini DC ceiling fans. I agree, a fan like this has fairly limited applications.

[@Dave_en]

@@TheSuperFanMan There are many poor people in india. To cater their needs, inexpensive ceiling fans are manufactured by small local companies (mostly operated at home or rented place). But they are dangerous because they hang low and operate at 720, 900 and 1400 RPM. I know a man whose fingers almost got chopped off while he raised his hand to wear his shirt.🤣🤣🤣 I prefer around $20 regular fans as they are more durable and justifies its cost. Rest are sophisticated designer fans mainly preferred by looks and meant for the elite class. They look good in expensive hotels and palaces.

[@khmam]

Does that mini Canarm even work?

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It sure does! I made a video on it years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXzShqineN2NarMsi=8hhKIrGPDH7xvipW

[@Joe.mama.123]

can you show how you hook it

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Sure! There’s a follow up video I made of this fan. The mounting system I used is shown at the 3:56 mark in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2fKfGqcoNdmr5I It’s just a Velcro strap tied to a ceiling joist support.

[@revistytrains]

I wish they were more common I know that Indonesia has a lot of mini ceiling fans

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yep these types of fans are more commonly found in Southeast Asia.

[@revistytrains]

@@TheSuperFanMan Sad :(

[@expgretaillegacy]

Can you hang one on a command hook?

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yes depending on how the command hook is attached to the wall/ceiling. As long as the fan blades have clearance from the nearby wall, it can be hung from a command hook.

[@expgretaillegacy]

@@TheSuperFanMan ok thanks!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

No problem!

[@FBG_Cory]

How much was yours mine was overpriced for the quality it was 22$

[@FBG_Cory]

The blades bend completely down on mine

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I believe I mentioned the cost at the beginning of the video. It was $23, which is definitely too high for a small plastic fan.

[@FBG_Cory]

@@TheSuperFanMan yes my 12v ceiling fan was a high cost aswell it was $23 it is my channel picture at the moment

These fans probably cost a few dollars at most to manufacture lol. The markup is so steep.

Nice unboxing. Unfortunately my Beacon Hill is probably not going to be hung for quite a while

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! Why is that?

[@thefanobsession5253]

@@TheSuperFanMan So, I was trying to adapt a remote to it to be a bit creative with it and since it has one of the older mounting systems, l let it hang by the hook on the side while I did the wiring, and after I did I tried to align it probably so I could swing the canopy up and it slid off the hook and fell, hit the bench l was standing on and two of the blades snapped off, luckily I took the glass shades off and the blades mainly took the blunt of the fall and I might try to order a new set of blades from Hunter but idk if they still sell the Beacon Hill because Home Hardware was the only place I knew where you could get them and my local Home Hardware stopped selling them

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Aw that’s unfortunate. I don’t think the Beacon Hill is in production, but new 42” Hunter blades might still fit.

[@TheFanUniverse]

Comparing it to the mini ceiling fans we have down here, it looks great quality wise, but price wise, your's in my opinion is way overpriced, you could grab a fullsize 56" industrial ceiling fan for 23 Dollars lol. Pretty interesting to see that most mini ceiling fans in offer in the US is DC powered.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I’m definitely with you on the price! I wouldn’t say it’s worth more than $10 at the most. In North America, $23 won’t buy you any industrial ceiling fan lol. Even the cheapest are above at least $50. I’ve seen a handful of AC mini ceiling fans being sold in North America but you’re right, most tend to be 12V DC, or sometimes USB powered.

Ye sab bana ke Flipkart me do ham le lenge

[@Starrmyeighty8]

Really? Not to be rude ,just straightforward. Those things on the blades are sure going to prevent it from working , or not make it go fast enough or be as efficient as it could be... come on now !! say things that would really give us a chance to make an opinion on it that would probably cause us to say it’s not worth it. The fact that it is not the best balanced or whatever you want to call it as it spins does not stop it from working or performing out of all the things that you brought up It is not fair to who manufactures it...in this way I would still buy the unit to try it myself but I would never put this in a video because it is tedious and unnecessary to the working of the product...and takes up time just to film. I am usually a very positive person and nice at that , but this video really gets me because now I watch lots of them on things I will buy or how to do something or whether things are worth it but when I watch one of these and you’re not giving me the specifics that make a lot of sense or let me know if it will work efficiently or not waste my time... usually when people watch videos they want to know right away what’s wrong with the item or what’s good with the item and get their information to either buy it or not in about 5 or 10 minutes. We don’t watch these videos as movies , we watch them as little ads and go to the next subject or whatever else we do on KZbin. Just wanted to express this because you are good at this.... this could improve the videos that you make. Just saying. I don’t make these but if I do I will try to be as exact or specific as I can and get on and off as quick as I can so others can benefit with my videos. By the way I will be buying a unit like this that has a remote control and I’m sure it will work ... OK I will put it in an RV not a camper but I’m sure it will work for the reasons I want it. Thank you for the video. Sometimes a plain viewer can help with a suggestion .... if it doesn’t , then that’s OK but if I subscribe it will be because you don’t waste my time with useless information as things from the mold that are on the blade and not perfect. Etc....that’s it.. good luck with your videos and giving me the chance to State my opinion.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I can definitely see that this video may feel drawn out and over-explained to people who are expecting it to be a concise review. I primarily make videos with a “show-and-tell” attitude, so I express my thoughts on the product from my perspective as an avid fan collector. Most videos on my channel don’t prioritize the crowd who want quick, information-packed videos. However, there are videos that I specifically make that are intended to be informative reviews, which are titled with “... | Review” at the end. Just as a background: I have many fans in my collection, ranging from newly introduced air circulators, to century-old antique fans, so I’m picky with every little detail when I check out new fans. Older fans were purely mechanically built without the use of computer CADs or robots, yet they were built with precision and had perfectly balanced blades that were manually balanced statically and dynamically. So in contrast, seeing poorly constructed and balanced fans of today that were made with the convenience of modern technology really bug me, so I often point out stuff like that when making videos. Obviously non-collectors will have a different view on this, thinking it’s just a cost saving measure, and it’s fine if the fan simply works and does what it should do. I’m assuming this is why you found this video to be not your cup of tea. That being said, I still appreciate the constructive feedback.

[@Starrmyeighty8]

Great reply explanation. Now I can see why you said what you said.. Understandable.. This is how we learn. Thank you for the note. I hope you succeed in finding your dream fan as a collector. Haha. And I will and have found the one that works for me. Take care...
