Our 3D broke earlier than our Hanabishi fans

How cheap is cheap? A new costs more or less P1k kasi. When I turn it on using the low setting it sometimes takes 30 secs to run. But if I use high it turns on agad

you can easily revive a dying fan.
simply have the rotating part of the motor and/or its bushings, replaced.
it's cheap.

Again, if it's not a mechanical problem (lubrication, bushing, crud build-up, etc.), a sluggish fan is caused by a defective run capacitor. For desk fans, stand fans, or residential exhaust fans, depending on where you get the part, the capacitor costs P30 to maybe P50 each.

Avoid using the fan and have it repaired or replaced.

i have always been a fan of KDK, even as it's on the expensive side. they're the only one with the slower 4th speed. nakaka-inis kasi yung 3-speed models ng ibang brand, dahil masyadong malakas pa rin ang buga ng hangin. i point the fan directly to me kasi...

Just bring it in to your nearest electric fan repair shop (you usually can tell by the dozens of fan blades on display). If you try turning the blade with your hand (with the power turned off) and it doesn't rotate freely then tell the repair guy the bushing might need replacing. If it rotates freely yet when you turn it on the blade rotates slowly, then tell him it might be the capacitor.

If the repair guy thinks you know how electric fans work, the less na tatagain ka sa presyo ng singil.

Worst case sa electric fan is kelangang i-rewind ang motor.

In any case, ask for an estimate first then compare it with how much a brand new electric fan costs.

Malayo layu narin ang narating ng teknolohiya ng electric fan ng Pinas hehehe Asahi DC 6080 na inverter ang nabili ko sobrang baba ng wattage pag ginamit mo, 15 watts parang naka number 2 ang fan speed nya sa mga normal AC stand fan. Meron pa syang sensor sa fan blade cover, pag hinawakan ng mga bata kusa itong mamamatay hehehe

^ Made in Japan ba Asahi brand na inverter type fan? Not sure kung Asahi is a local brand or an import brand.

I have an Union desk fan na almost 20 years na! Still runs and using it right now. I recalled back then i was a kid that we bought this fan used not brand new from an electric fan repair guy na malapit samin. That was back late 2003. The Union's plastic body was already deteriorated and brittle.

May Union fan din kami before that was older than the Union desk fan that I am using. That was a stand fan before and then the whole stand and body broke. It was my sister's electric fan for several years until she moved to her husband's home. The motor's housing was missing only left was the grill and the fan blade. Even the controls was missing too so the fan runs at full speed. The age of that fan (1990's era) was same as my age. Unfortunately that fan broke its motor when I was cleaning it and decided to sell the electric fan to a repair shop. umusok yung motor when I was testing it. Nag tampo ata

We also have cool air brand (same manufacturer ng union which is maclin) na fans na nakainstall sa masters bedroom and a newer Union fan installed at the sala upstairs. those are 8-9 years old. still going strong.

In my room has a black & decker that was given to me as a christmas gift by my cousin back in 2017. again gumagana parin. although my complains with that fan was slow fan speed even in number three it was like set in number two. That was resolved by bringing the electric fan in the repair shop by replacing its original capacitor with a new one and then it improved the fan speed in number 3 at the proper speed!

The newest in our electric fan fleet was a 3D stand fan with a manual knob timer. bought 2 years ago in SM appliance center. No issues and problems.

I have a Standard mini industrial fan as well. also given to me as a gift but it was not being used by several years as a result it was rusted the grille and the motor. Still the motor needs some TLC.

Meron din akong Mitsu Tech brand stand fan that I bought in 2015 at SM hypermarket. It was discounted at the time. It broke the oscillating mechanism after 3-4 years of use. I replaced it with a 3D stand fan that i mentioned earlier.

Local brand ang Asahi appliances at locally manufactured fans nila pero may konting galing China.

Union naman locally manufactured at nageexport pa sa Middle East.

Wag na wag bibili ng unknown brand na sina-sale ng SM at linalagay sa harap ng stores or grocery nila. Disposable mga yun, naka 3 na kami at wala pang 1.5years bibigay na

Wow! I thought it was Japan! I like Asahi, that's my fat lab's fan and it's super durable! Considering na mabilis madumihan dahil sa fur niya at gabi lang nasasarhan yun fan. Yung Standard pumangit na quality

bakit nakasulat 35 watts?

On topic, Panasonic is the best brand for me. Malakas ang hangin without so much noise at yung oscillation niya mabilis.

Panasonic also. A bit pricey but you get what you paid for. [emoji106][emoji106]

From personal experience, 3D or Standard. Me ilan kaming nabili na tumagal ng 10+ years. That said, me ilan na ring pumapalyang industrial fans dito sa office, lightly used at that.


My recent experience with Hanabishi is not so good: one of the stand fans parang humihina ang andar, and an undustrial floor fan i bought last year won't run na.(sakim kasi sa 5 year warranty)

slightly OT: mas efficient ba yung fans na me plastic blades vs. metal ? My guess is that plastic is lighter, hence easier to turn.

I just bought my dad a Westinghouse industrial stand fan for his shop. Tuwang-tuwa dahil ang lakas na kahit no. 1 pa lang yung fan speed. Of course, natuwa din sya sa build quality.

[Wh1stl3r2]

Our Panasonics last a long time, around 6+ years at least. Asahi & Hanabishi motors slow down at around 2-3+ years. IMHO there should be a law preventing companies from using Japanese sounding names. It gives the illusion of quality that just isn't there. Not sure about Westinghouse quality but they sure look better than the others.

try camel or hanabishi, mas malakas hangin
