My experience with FANTASTIC FAN Endless Breeze is that I am FORCED to settle for a top of the junkheap EXPENSIVE product. There are none better and most a lot worse.
The motor is a JAPANESE product. Irreparable.
Riveted. Rivets are unique. So are the brushes and the motor manufacturer refuses to sell anything but complete motors.
The last three fans including warranty emit a high pitched squeal that offends my 90% deaf ears. People with regular hearing cannot tolerate to be in the same room with the squeal. The manufacturer smiled and sends complimentary fans that squeal even worse.
I have been getting a JUNK product. Period.
But there are no other competing products.
A new motor costs 80% of the cost of a complete new fan
I am supposed to be satisfied with this?
And now we have a fresh crop of double-digit IQ radical congresspeople in Washington who can't pour p*** out of a boot with directions on the heel?
David, you might want to look in the marine world for good quality fans that are intended for use in boat cabins. As I understnad it, they're quiet, just sip 12 volt current, and you as you might have guessed ... it's expensive.
I'm really paranoid about product quality. When I shop for something nowadays, I start looking for the most expensive version of it and maybe, or maybe not, work down (in price and quality) from there. I like to buy it right so that I only have to buy it once - in the long run it's cheaper that way.
P.S. My Endless Breeze Fantastic Fan in the RV does make a bit of a "mechanical sound" that is noticeable mostly on it's highest setting. I attribute that to it's brushless motor (with me knowing nothing about brushless design limitations) ... but maybe that has nothing to do with it. Are brushless motors inherently more noisy?
