Official House Fan Thread

[TrinbagoMan]

I am trying to get a house fan. Either a wall fan or a tower fan. I bought a wall fan from Yip's in POS but it did not last. Recommended brands and stores with good prices are welcomed.

I learnt that nothing lasts like a Lasko. My 2 cents.

[Ted_v2]

Lasko cannot be beaten, tried a few but always ended up with a lasko.

Box fan for most movement of air

Lasko

Lasko dawg. The remote controlled ones kinda flaky tho

PriceSmart has that Lasko standing fan you have pictured there

[ruffneck_12]

Boy I had to jumpstart my lasko with a drill the other night

End up having to scrap it at 11pm to oil it up with coconut oil because it never get serviced in over 5 years

(Had to use coconut oil because all the WD finished )

[hindian]

Coconut oil dont get sticky and slow down the fan after a while? I does use a drop or 2 of transmission fluid or wd40 or if things really bad, pull the dipstick from the car and use the drainings from the stick to lube it up and yuh cud check yuh oil level as yuh dey one time lol. But Lasko ftw...

[ruffneck_12]

I used proper oil the following morning

It just had to last enough to get me through the night

[Ted_v2]

Not me and that oiling nonsense na.
tried wd40 and in the middle of the night i smelling it burning.

[De Dragon]

Lasko FTW! I have some Lasko making some years now. I tried one of those metal ones once, sheit was blowing bed sheet off and ting, but noisy like wow!

[PapaC]

Good Lord i hope one day they make a Lasso that doesn't make that incessant whirring noise.
Love the fan but sometimes it too loud to put it on the highest speed.

[pugboy]

lasko wind machine ground fan from pricesmart
use it in my pain cave
plastic housing easier to clean than the metal grill types

[*KRONIK*]

If u not on a budget OP...airking has some very powerful wall mounted fans.

But cater around 600 for 1

[pugboy]

those might be too powerful and noisy for home use

[G-DUB]

machine oil works well

[Daran]

Good luck with your 2016 Fan Death goals.

please do, also is this the "fan place" on the left of the WMR when heading West? I normally see big Big Ass Fans, wasn't aware there were smaller ones available

wd is a light oil so it would be more prone to evaporation

Coconut oil dan

In Aruba's airport (or was it Curacao), they use Big Ass ceiling fans in the check-in area.
They were about 20-30 feet in diameter. I'm not sure if they're still there, as that was about 5-8 years ago.

Actually..its a domestic fan..
But at high speed it can serve as a commercial unit

Lol

[Spitfir3]

I use the tower one. I like it

[Black Scorpion]

If you're buying Lasko standing get the 16" not the 18", to me the 18 is sluggish.

The Lasko i use is made from two 16" lasko fans and 20 yrs old. One had a broken stand and the other the motor was sticking. This was back when the height had no adjustment.

[TrinbagoMan]

Thanks. Will first check out the fan place in St James. Then Pricesmart

[De Dragon]

Never understood the remote Lasko concept. Mebbe if yuh bedridden or something, but to me is lazy man ting.

[Ted_v2]

Nuh rly na.
imagine if whole night you rolling and cant get comfortable. When you do, finally u hear a mosquito buzzing around you or you start to feel warm.

Remote ftw.
