Thanks for the replies. I suspected na hindi nga kasing ganda ng usual design.

How about box fans? Traditional propeller blade but no oscillating "head".

I think most of the local well-know brands are fine... as long as they have a local service center:

3D, KDK, Standard, Asahi, Hanabishi, Imarflex, just to name a few.

I've had our Asahi tower fan repaired at their repair center. They replaced the oscillating motor assembly plus cleaning and everything only cost under P200.

And here's a tip, when shopping for a fan, the shape of the blades matters.

The banana-type bladed ones may look nice and modern but they're noisy for the amount of air they provide. On the other hand, the older-style, wide-bladed models might look out-dated, but they're relatively more quiet and throws air farther than the banana-type ones.

Reviving this thread. Seems they don't build fans the way they used to anymore. We have 1+ year old 3D and Westinghouse, 2 Panasonics and a 2 year old KDK bite the dust. I don't plan on going to get them fixed any time soon. Maybe after the pandemic.

Now choosing new ones from Asahi, Standard, Sharp and (sigh) Panasonic. Are the Sharp ones ok? Asahi is ok for me but they seem to vibrate quite a bit more. Panasonic seems expensive for the now shorter service life. Standard I haven't had in a while, are they still good today?

Very happy with my Sharp electric fan. Quiet, strong airflow, discreet design that matches my home aesthetic:

Got a couple of this fugly for a while now. It's how a fan should blow. Low is enough. The high, I can't even remember having to switch to.[emoji106]

This is actually my first choice. I like the aesthetic too. Simple and clean look. I just don't remember Sharp having made electric fans before. Hopefully these will last long like their other appliances.

I have the smaller one. That's the one that broke early. Liked the look of it too, but that one probably had the worst ratio of noise to wind speed.

How old is yours?

Oh, really? Bought these a while back, some 3-4years ago, if a recall right. Both on daily duty into the wee hours. One to cool the PC, the other, us.[emoji4] I don't mind the blow noise. Had enough of them fancy plastic ones that die young. I still see the Matsushita Stand Fan in the old ancestral working. No one builds that way anymore.[emoji852]
