Floor Fan Rotates But No Air

It may not be an air purifier but frankly that feature on my 400 fan didn t seem to make any difference in air quality anyway speaking of air quality the rest of the fan gets high.

Floor fan rotates but no air.

Problem is my fan has slowly stopped working. Not only does an electric fan blow air in the direction in which it is facing it also circulates the air in the room. At first it was just a gradual thing barely noticeable. 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.

But this adjustable pedestal fan is slim enough to not take up a lot of floor space in medium to large rooms. In fact if you put a piece of paper in front of the fan it almost seems to be sucking it in. Most pedestal fans have a fairly large footprint. It is not unusual for the bearing that the fan blade unit turns on to become so clogged with debris that it cannot turn.

I like that because other fans tend to be top or bottom heavy for air movement. Note that this is a function of design not price. I say quiet enough because there are other fans that are just as quiet. Another way to describe electric table fans is as circulating fans.

Now it s like the thing is literally not blowing any air at all. 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. Quiet enough and the volume of air it moves is impressive. 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.

I ve seen 50 100 fancy looking fans that barely moved any air. Fan blades gather a tremendous amount of dust and debris that then settles behind them away from the force of the air. I got a super cheap tower fan to use at work and air rockets out of it. When the sun is out and temperatures are brutally high homeowners know that it s critical to have a working air conditioner.

Its height can be adjusted from 41. The air movement feels like it is the same for the overall height of the fan not including the base. But it s not blowing air out the other side either.
