Despite the classification, I love how simple & classic it looks!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Same! That's something I like about industrial ceiling fans. No frills fans that simply do what fans are supposed to do.

[@JayCity]

That's one smooth fan! The spin down took quite a while!

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Indeed! The bearings are quite good on this fan!

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

The buzz is interesting because I remember these new ones being rated for solid state. Maybe this predates that

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Don't all fans buzz on solid state, whether they're rated for it or not? I can't think of a fan that runs silently on solid state controls.

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

@@TheSuperFanMan Dan Spiffy tested a few that are almost silent. And a community center that I used to go to had old SMC K56’s (like, early 80’s I believe) that were dead silent on solid state.

I've seen this 220V-240V 50Hz version of this fan because I live in Indonesia, and this fan was officially sold in Ace Hardware. Being an so-called industrial ceiling fan, the pricing was ridiculously high than actual industrial ceiling fan (e.g Maspion MCF52-110), which was costs less than these. When I visiting Ace Harware in Indonesia, these fans are sights my eyes.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Cool! Pretty cool that Westinghouse branded ceiling fans are being sold over there too. I imagine the imported name plays a role in the higher price.

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

A lot of the local-brand industrial-looking ceiling fans are actually not industrial rated. Like the Asahi fans in the Philippines that are for “household use only”. Westinghouse industrials in other countries are actually industrial rated unlike in North America. They go a lot faster too. In North America they are targeting the low-ceiling residential and commercial market with these (North America has strict rules on the height of fast industrial fans).

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

Though yeah, these seem overpriced compared to Maspion (which are also industrial rated I believe), and especially the Krisbows, which are basically SMCs and will blow any Westy industrial out of the water (except the 60” ones they sell in LatAm)

[@TheFanUniverse]

I think we sit at opposite ends of the table in regards to ceiling fans lol. I remember you once said that my decorative ceiling fan videos are a seldom seen eye refresher for you, while the opposite is true for me. I'm happy to finally see more industrial ceiling fan content from you hahaha. I guess our market really dictates what type of ceiling fans rule the market & that reflects deeply on our tastes

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Haha yeah I guess we always want to see the unseen! I like industrial ceiling fans too, but I just don't come across them often compared to residential fans.

[@mrfanman9209]

You just can’t beat the sound of of a three blade ceiling fan

[@TheSuperFanMan]

True! They tend to sound more powerful than fans with higher blade counts.

[@althafadillatailsfan7480]

Look so shiny and brightly Nice!!!👍

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! Gotta love that gloss paint finish.

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

4:34 Used to be patented by Leading Edge. Expired in 2016 so more companies are using it

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Interesting to know!

[@shivamgandhi5779]

You should install the Canarm solid state on the wall

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I thought about it, but I’m keeping the wiring non-permanent in that room, so I think it’s best to have that inline junction box for speed controls.

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

Overall this performs better than I expected for the N.American market ones. I remember some of them being very slow. Yes compared to “real” industrials, these aren’t that great, but definitely seem decent choices for low ceilings, where you can’t have true industrials unless you have a guard on it

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I agree! I've seen some videos on these that run unusually slow. Hard to tell if those were lemons or just older versions that had different specs.

[@katthefanenthusiast5793]

@@TheSuperFanMan The switch from true industrials to the commercial/“industrial-style” Jax fans was recent so I guess they’re still playing with specs

[@sivaranjanis596]

Neat fan. Honestly, it looks cool and the quality doesn't seem too bad. Performance as you mentioned is comparable to any residential grade fans, but the term "Industrial Look" is a bit misleading though.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I very much agree. I see these fans quite often in commercial buildings, even though they aren't actually rated for those applications. The industrial appearance probably deceives a lot of people.

[@WadiFilmsxx]

Ive been waiting for a vid of this fan since the 2023 fan collection! Great fan it looks EPIC BTW congrats for 27k subs

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Thanks! Glad you liked it! I had a feeling many people would be interested in seeing a video on this fan.

[@WadiFilmsxx]

Btw video idea, please make a vid on all ur super fans (smc and not smc) pls 🎉​@@TheSuperFanMan

[@TheSuperFanMan]

That’d be a huge video production. I’m not sure if I can make it happen but I’ll definitely keep that in mind! :)

Thanks!

Nice! I have that one too. Happy belated birthday!

[@shivamgandhi5779]

You need to get some Envirofan industrials and Canarm industrials

[@TheSuperFanMan]

100%! They’re on my to-find list.

[@carlostavaresjr958]

Canarms discontinued their industrials. Can't find them anywhere, unless you know a source.

[@coled5090]

Are these the same fan as the older Encon Industrial model from the 90s from before they switched to the Westinghouse name?

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I'm honestly not too sure. Is Encon still around? This does look very similar to the Encon model so perhaps it is the same fan, or at least it's a derivative of the Encon.

[@coled5090]

@@TheSuperFanMan Encon was bought by Angelo Bros at some point around the early 2000s, and changed the name to licensed from Westinghouse. Many models were carried over so I wasn’t sure if this is one that happens to still be made. It does look similar.

[@RMFZ]

This ceiling fan should honestly just be treated as a residential ceiling fan, it doesn’t seem to fit in the “industrial” group. I’m assuming that’s what they mean by “Industrial Look”, it looks like an industrial ceiling fan, but it actually isn’t.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Yep that's exactly what I was thinking. I looked at the specs and instruction manuals for this fan and couldn't find any mentions of it being suitable for commercial or industrial applications. The website just says "ideal for lofts and great rooms," so I'm nearly certain that this indeed is a residential fan.

[@charliethemoth1294]

Its pretty nise to see it btw do you have any rare ceiling fan? Because im just a fan collector. Sadly i dont have a lot.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I have a few ceiling fans that could be considered uncommon, yes. Still gotta make videos on those. Nothing wrong with not having a lot of fans! It’s not the number that matters when it comes to hobbies.

[@scottbrockman5883]

Just watched this on KZbin for the first time in the 3 days since it was made and put on KZbin. I was used to seeing these industrial ceiling fans in buildings, malls, and grocery stores. The gym where I used to work out for 7 years had 2 of these ceiling fans in the room where they have their "spin" classes. I'm still trying to figure out if gyms have air conditioning on full blast, mainly between 60- 68 degrees in some rooms and some have ceiling fans and run them along with the air conditioner they should run the ceiling fans on medium and low speeds on downdraft instead of high speed because it would make it even colder and create a "wind chill effect" and also it would make it a little harder for people like me with little to no body fat or insulation to either stay floating in the water or swimming pool or to keep from freezing in the Winter or sweating in the Summer. Aside from that, I like these ceiling fans with fewer blades, 3 or 4 blades than the newer ones with multiple blades, 5 or more blades 🙂👍🙏💒🤟🎄⛸️⛄️❄️♨️🎅.

[@TheSuperFanMan]

I have to agree! The fans help the HVAC system so the facilities don’t have to crank the heat or the AC up nearly as much. I also like the look of 3 or 4 bladed fans. We see 5 blades way too often lol.

[@JFC2007]

Cool

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Indeed!

[@user-sf9fm5oh9m]

What is with those tightly space to grills on your Older fans such as your 90s ?

[@user-sf9fm5oh9m]

90s Supers

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It was a safety standard for electric fans sold in Canada. Last from about the late-1970s to the mid-1990s.

[@user-sf9fm5oh9m]

I just want to know why they made it like that

[@TheSuperFanMan]

It was to prevent young kids from sticking objects or their fingers into the spinning fan. Average fan grilles still have enough spacing for little curious fingers, pencils, etc, to go through, so by making the spacing very small, it essentially eliminated that possibility. It does reduce the fans performance too, but surprisingly not too significantly.

[@hitachifansandmore]

lol this fan is a fake it's faking being an industrial

[@TheSuperFanMan]

Pseudo-industrial!

[@RRegents]

​@@TheSuperFanManPretty much all home center "industrials" are pseudo-industrials, as if the ball-and-socket mount did not already give that away! They are really only fit to be home garage fans.
