Cheap Lakewood brace-blade box fan

Happy Thanksgiving, paisanos! I hope you've enjoyed a BIG Thanksgiving feast!

Anyway, here at my auntie's house, I'm just recording this China-made POS cheap Lakewood brace-blade box fan and I'm telling you, this modern box fan is nothing but junk! I did not run it on however because of slight collateral damage to the back grill and of course, I'm aware the top switch knob was missing as well, but whatever. On my final note: GET A USED VINTAGE BOX FAN! THEY LAST LONGER THAN THIS MODERN JUNK OF TODAY! Thank you.

Does America even still make box fans, with Lakewood gone down the drain, taking the P-25 with it?

@LNERMallard: Mmm, not anymore. They are most likely manufactured in China... They're first manufactured in China and then they're shipped to the U.S. to be assembled. You mayt even see the label that says, "Made in the USA." However, just because the label says "Made in the USA" doesn't mean that is TRULY made there. Some parts including the motor itself are made in China.

OH MY GOD ITS A FAN.

@vacuumlover1: I think you mean, "It's a China-made garbage!"

I have my own video of one of these now. Check it out. I tell everyone on this video my thoughts of these fans. And you're right. They are junk.

[baul104]

Absolutely. I--one time--even saw EmersonCollie's video on "Death to a cheap box fan." It just goes to show you that China-made box fans are not worth keeping or saving--even if they're on the curb for pickup...

@baul104 thats great. Why fans? Why? What do FAAANS accomplish? Atleast with vacuums you get results and satisfaction. :l

@kagome122885 and the only good modern day brand is Vornado. Their premium models are still made in USA.

The early braced bladed fans were decent and they did blow a decent amount of air. The modern day (2007-2008) braced bladed box fans were "Made in China" junk. They actually reduced the fins on the modern day bracers and thats why their airflow is so bad.
