Burning Stuff 979: Lasko Box Fan

[@canadiangunner0190]

"They don't make em like they used to" is a cliche phrase but man is it ever true in a lot of cases. My grandfather has been using the same Monarch Aire box fan since the 1970s without any issues, yet this modern fan breaks after a summer or two.

I own a Mathes Cooler fan that was made during the 1940's and even with quite a bit of cosmetic wears like rust and thick dust on the wood of the cabinet, it still runs strong so it's true indeed.

Industry standards are absolutely terrible now

[@samsimington5563]

I never really realized how flammable fan motors are

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

I wouldn't be burning all that plastic though..

You should have turned it on while it was on fire to see how long it would last.

[@TexarRailroadFurnace]

The fan motor was broken, even when plugged in

[@WhiskersPlaysGames]

Texas Railroad Furnace Oh, well at least that means it was not a waste.

@@WhiskersPlaysGames mate it’s like £20 fan get over it 😂

[@HuskyDog88]

@@TexarRailroadFurnace Couldn't you fix the motor, make it like new? Or replace the motor with another better one?

[@TexarRailroadFurnace]

@HuskyDog88 Repairs on the fan was not possible. Because of its value in store, it was best to be replaced
