Floor Fan Rotates But No Air

I have an oscillating fan that is running on the highest settings but even right up in front of it you can barely notice air moving.

Floor fan rotates but no air.

Now it s like the thing is literally not blowing any air at all. If that s not an option grumble a bit and spend the extra money to buy something like a vornado that will not suck for sure. The blades are spinning fine and while there is a bit of dust in the cage it s not nearly enough to block the flow of air completely. I got a super cheap tower fan to use at work and air rockets out of it.

The air movement feels like it is the same for the overall height of the fan not including the base. It is not unusual for the bearing that the fan blade unit turns on to become so clogged with debris that it cannot turn. Without a properly functioning ac when summer temperatures rise into the 90s and 100s you are not just uncomfortable indoors it can actually be dangerous for humans and household pets not to mention potentially harmful to your appliances and electronics. Quiet enough and the volume of air it moves is impressive.

Note that this is a function of design not price. But it s not blowing air out the other side either. I ve seen 50 100 fancy looking fans that barely moved any air. Okay the fan is great.

Problem is my fan has slowly stopped working. I need a fan on me to sleep not just the noise but the breeze as well. At first it was just a gradual thing barely noticeable. Not only does an electric fan blow air in the direction in which it is facing it also circulates the air in the room.

I like that because other fans tend to be top or bottom heavy for air movement. But this adjustable pedestal fan is slim enough to not take up a lot of floor space in medium to large rooms. I say quiet enough because there are other fans that are just as quiet. Its height can be adjusted from 41.

In fact if you put a piece of paper in front of the fan it almost seems to be sucking it in. When the sun is out and temperatures are brutally high homeowners know that it s critical to have a working air conditioner. Most pedestal fans have a fairly large footprint.
