no cheap plastic here.
this is much nicer than any of the cheap plastic fans i've bought in the past.
this hunter fan is very high quality and i believe it will easilly outlast me whereas the lightweight plastic fans get thrown away every three years.it features a slide switch vs a push button
it's nice to find an all metal fan, as these fans are much more powerful than a plastic fan of the same size.
we purchased two of the black, and they fit in with every other piece of furniture we have without standing out like the old white, plastic fan we had.
product linethis a very sturdily constructed fan, the plastic grill is nice and thick,the control knob is also nice and sturdy and easy to turn.the fan is very quiet and moves quite a bit of air.
you have to unscrew the plastic screens, wipe the fan blade, hose down the screens, and screw them pack on.
i noted that with the fan running i could feel air being sucked in from outside around the sides of the fan so i've made a clear plastic shroud to block these areas for greater efficiency.
all have plastic feet to help stabilize it front-to-back so it stands better from the force of air bring forced through.
i did have trouble installing the plastic feet onto the fan.
nothing like those noisy, chrome-and-plastic, throwaway things you buy at the mal-wart.
it is very quiet which i think is partly due to the all metal construction of the fan - no plastic so it does not jump around.
this fan is beautiful and it's nice to have something solid and made out of actual metal rather than cheap plastic.
also it doesn't seem to build the dust like the plastic fans do which is a major plus b/c you don't have to clean it as often.
the drawback to this is that it's kind of noisy, which i expect is because it's all metal, as opposed to plastic, which most fans are made of.
this fan may be solid plastic but it is, nevertheless, solid.
finally, you'll need to run the fan for a good hour to get rid of a weird plastic odor it emits due to its packaging.
the fan blades are plastic, but well enough made so the low setting is not objectionable at all.
my only compaint is that it does not fit flush in my window, as the plastic "arch" on the top of it prevents the window from fully closing.
the honeywell hw-628 twin window fan appears to be designed primarily for wood window frames, and not plastic sliding windows, like those in my apartment.
i love its design, its made of black hard plastic with a long deep base that makes the fan nearly impossible to knock over.
it's made out plastic so it's light weight.
18" plastic blades nice moves air..
re build quality being poor - yes the plastic is thinner than a vornado or bionnaire.
no plastic fan cover with this one...all metal.
the yellow one was perfect, the blue fan had some imperfections on the blue plastic base.
the grill is metal not plastic like most ofthe fans now days.
only drawback is how cheap the plastic is- i don't expect it to break, but you can tell it is manufactured very inexpensively.
this is made of plastic which cuts way down on the noise.
the one fan we kept is great though, i am just not sure i would buy something this big that is also plastic online again, the shipping is expensive and the risk of it breaking is too high, i will go
not flimsy, plastic construction feels fairly durable.
you can easily spend $40 on a cheap plastic fan, but it will surely not be as powerful ,nice looking, quiet, or long lasting.
it looks much nicer than those cheap plastic fans and i suspect will last much longer.
(plastic blades will flex and your cfm will drop.) yea, it's noisy at full speed but i've got some light weather stripping that'll be perfect to significantly reduce the vibrations.
there is a decorative plastic cover, which i find perfectly acceptable as it doesn't affect the performance in any way.
fan body", but i got mostly plastic.
i haven't owned a metal fan in my entire life - just the plastic box fans.
the only difference is that these are made from plastic rather than metal - but the controls are much easier as you are forced to put the fan in the off position before you can change the direction
my only wish is that it would have been metal rather than plastic.
looking for a window fan that provided more airflow than the small double fan style that is so common now.its not built as sturdily as large window fans used to be, and is made of mostly plastic.
the fan is solidly constructed with sturdy plastic side panels and a easy to turn on/off speed selection knob.particularly nice is the exhaust feature on this fan,which cleared a smokey kitchen in
this grill is plastic, which we all know doesn't last forever.
vornado used to make metal products; this is plastic - a bit disappointing.
sturdy plastic, mixed with a metal foundation, has been beat up and dropped and hit, and still looks brand new.
body plastic quality is cheap.
i thought the plastic and faux wood might look cheesy but it really was the classiest option at this price.
i put a shim in between two pieces of plastic and it solved the problem.
i have to admit i wasn't that crazy about the plastic look but it's growning on me.
when i turned it on, it worked, however, the air which it expels has a distinct 'cheap plastic' smell to it, i don't think it's a health hazard, but it does annoy me a bit.furthermore, when i set
i could do without all the plastic, but this fan did hard time last summer and hasn't let me down this season.
but, after just 2 weeks of use, the motor apparently burned up --- i had it on the lowest speed, and came into the room to a noticeable plastic-electrical smell, and the blade was barely turning.
i was afraid i would find just a bunch of broken plastic inside but it was in one piece and works just fine.
it's all plastic - fan blades and everything else.
one can, however shave the plastic notch off and remove the back grille which otherwise prevents this fan from rotating downwards.
pros: air is moved like a wind tunnel! cons: all plastic, kind of weak construction.
pros: longevity even with constant use, price cons: mostly plastic parts the bottom line: well worth the price!
the flimsy plastic grill is really the problem.
it is made of plastic but both of mine fit together perfectly.
for the price it blows away the plastic competition.
and metal fans do work better than plastic ones, in my opinion.
the only patton i could find was this plastic "jet engine" looking 20" with cvt technology - i thought great, patton quality in a new look.
the two halves of the cage are held together with plastic zip ties.
holmes has specialized in the production of crappy plastic fans for years and when i heard they had bought out patton i expected the worst and sure as shootin' this fan is crappy.
i have dropped it once, the plastic guarding the led bulbs was scratched a little, but the fan is still fine.
tip - defuse the lens by placing a plastic shopping bag over it, cut out a hole for the lens and spray with clear (frosted window) spay paint, let dry and remove bag.
mine has the same plastic carabiner clip the other reviewer complained about, but it's fairly beefy and i haven't had any problem with it.
made of plastic--cheap carabiner style.
well gee, what can you expect from a battery operated plastic fan for use in a tent?
you can add plastic attachments that makes this fan stand higher in a window and cover it all.
i couldn't figure out how to open it all the way but was able to open it about 35 degrees, like a clam, and remove the plastic cover that shields the circuits.
the bionaire doesn't have the cheap/flimsy plastic-y feel fo the honeywell.
the fans are covered with soot, as are the plastic vents.
