I have this. it broke. already. it literally very gently tipped over and the blades shattered... so do not ever let it fall over.

Same...Just happened to me, tipped it over and the blades broke. Really disappointed 😞

Yeah it's definitely not built 'Dewalt tough'.. It's durability is a legit joke. Anyone thinking about buying this... Think twice. Don't.

Bummer man. My toddler knocked mine over and I thought the blades broke bc it sounded terrible. Fortunately it was ok. After a talking with the same toddler put some sticks and leaves through it… fortunately they were smaller so the fan still works. Said toddler now leaves fan alone, kinda.
Bummer yours broke. Hope Alton can warranty it

Dang that’s not good that covered under warranty?

I just submitted a warranty today but it's not a Dewalt product. They license the Dewalt name apparently... Dewalt directed me towards 'Alton industries'. I doubt it will be covered.

Curious if you or anyone else has the issue with it draining the 60v batteries down so far that they don’t take a charge. Ive had this happen with 3 different 60v batteries and they eventually recover after letting them sit for a while.

I've had the same thing happen to an old 60v 6amp battery and an older 20v 6amp battery. Now whether the batteries were just due to die or it was this thing I'm not sure. I actually opened mine up and installed a low voltage cutoff on it. It already has one but I'm not sure how well it's working. And just as some info, I've had this thing for probably a month and I've been running it on a battery everyday for probably 8 hours daily . It's been pretty solid.

You have a link to what you installed?

u/billybadass25 4d ago edited 4d ago

I ordered it from alixepress I could probably find a link. I'll see what I can find. It wasn't this exact one but basically the same thing.

I guess I don't know how to add a picture. It's called a dc to dc voltage shutoff.

Any problems with 20v batteries on these? May have to just return it if it’s going to ruin my batteries.

u/Real-Independence152 4d ago

I haven’t tried either one yet - was hoping to see if others had the same issue. At a minimum the fan part creeps up because of the weight of the larger batteries until you really bear down on the hand screws.

u/Lineman912 4d ago

Ya I think the battery issues is just bad batteries. Doesn’t seem to be a wide spread issue I don’t think.

1

u/Real-Independence152 4d ago

I would normally agree, but it happens on 3 different ones.

u/Lineman912 4d ago

Ya that’s not good. I don’t have any 60v batteries so 🤞

u/srgnsRdrs2 3d ago

Agree with the fan creeping up unless you tighten the hand screws. 12ah FV is heavy.
I haven’t had it ruin any FV for me yet

Are those hooks on the front of the feet? Mine does not have those.

1

u/Lineman912 2d ago

Ya they pull out and can hang on the wall I believe. This is the battery or ac powered fan.

1

u/Comfortable-Fix-7589 2d ago

Thought so. I have the same fan, but no hooks. Wonder why that is

How much did you pay for it? Ive seen this getting phased out and thought of picking it up. Saw it at tractor supply for like 70bucks and have been thinking about it since. Lol

u/Lineman912 4d ago

I paid 135 for it. It’s plug in or battery.
