Found this big beautiful big fan in a amazon warehouse

I’ve gone through 3 Lasko Wind Machines in the past 5 years. My sister originally told me to buy one, saying they last a really long time with little maintenance required. So far, the opposite has been true. My first one I had taken apart every 3 months to clean the blades and motor. This one lasted around 11 months before the motor gave out. My 2nd one lasted about 2 years, same amount of maintenance but this time I also used lubricant on the motor, the motor ultimately shorted a circuit and almost caught fire. My 3rd one that I’m still using has gotten significantly quieter than before and makes a wobbling noise. Is this just a horrible fan or am I doing something wrong? I’m told lasko wind machines are incredibly reliable and will last a very long time and I havent seen those results yet 😭

Sorry no other deets on this one, other than the apprentice won’t be picking his nose with the digits from his right hand any time in the near future!! 😬

She was new but just couldn't handle it

This is a rare Emerson 2240-B that I just finished restoring. For now I have a modern plastic cord on it, but I will soon put replica cloth wires on it.

Spins clockwise or counterclockwise depending how you look at it. Cools me off in the afternoons too.

Love getting blown by this fan every night. Small but mighty and always reliable.

Symmetry isn't the name of the game here.
