Since purchasing it, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQuBMI30VhO6fDed6NOsYftsoNa8x0UZ5 this fan is a trustworthy companion during the hot nights in Texas for me. The sleep mode is really quiet and gives you smooth wind to cool down. At full speed the fan is quite noisy but also very strong.Only weird thing is that if there is a draught from another fan, the sleep mode would speed up occasionally (getting a bit louder, probably to level 2 out of 4). This never happened so far when I used only this fan though.
YOU found a way much easier way to clean this fan compared to other videos where they took apart the whole fan to clean & made it far more work …👍👍👍 great job!😉😉😉
QUICKER not BETTER! This can short the board used for the buttons on top. As well as the motor can get damaged and whatnot from the water. Take it apart and everything will be fine.
@@ElevatorWasher5000that’s why you let it dry. It will not damage anything as long you don’t turn it on when it’s completely wet. Air is wet too, remember that.
It depends on the fan, her fan probably has the control buttons covered and since the motor is on the bottom it doesnt get wet, because she put it upside down so basically, its safe. Now, not all fans are like that so you have to check first.
You didn't take it apart there's no way to get at the parks that you cleaned without disassembling it. Also all the important controls are at the top and cannot get wet so you didn't show how you take them off so they wouldn't get wet. I also don't recommend cleaning any electric product with water you do not have to use water and on top of it you are not going to get everything off by spraying it with water not even with a high pressure water system. It is best to disassemble it brush all the dirt out vacuum it and if there's anything left behind use a soft brush to get at all the other debris not mentioning the oil that sticks to the blades that the water will not eliminate. Someone that follows your instructions is going to ruin their fan and have to buy a new one. Most stand-up fans allow you to with the fan part out of the machine after disassembling the correct way.
I did all three of my puremate tower fans like this, let then dry, sprayed WD40 on the wires and motor, they are like brand new, the trick is, live in a hot place and let dry, change the angle of the fan every now and then so there is no chance of water sitting anywhere, cheers Zmh Hdez you don't realize how much time you saved me
Thank you!!!!! It worked!!!!! Initially I thought it didn't work after half day of drying up under the sun. But there are still water at the bottom (upside down) ... so we shaked the water off ... and it didn't fired on. Next day, I guess it's finally dried up, and I thought I would try again and IT WORKED!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SAVING OUR TIME!!!!!!!
Thanks I been watching videos and all the other ones did the unscrewing that is just too much time consuming and then I was doing that air can that cleans computers but that fully doesn’t work well at all so I’m definitely going to throw that in the shower put it upside down and let the water flow with bucket or whatever it takes I have an apartment thank you so much. God God bless you.❤🎉😊🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗🤗🤗
I did this with my fan before seeing this. Even got the motor wet without knowing but I let it dry for like 2 hours and it works fine. I think the key is to just make sure it dries before you plug it back in.
I took the back off, and put the extension hose on my vacuum and let it suck all the dirt/dust out, took a towel and wiped over and screwed panel back on👌🏽10mins
This is the best video I have seen for cleaning my fan. At first, it looks scary but it really works! My fan is the cleanest it has ever been! Like new! Muchas gracias! Fácil, simple, y no toma mucho tiempo!
*Love the size and it fits perfectly in a corner but **Fastly.Cool** the whole room. Really like how you can auto adjust how long you want the fan to be on. It is quite but highly effective.*
After spending hours poking the blades with cotton swabs, I gave up and tried her way using my water flosser. I thought I totally killed the fan but after drying, it came back alive! Mine is Toshiba tower fan.
Thank you, one man took the whole engine out, I can't do that, another video used an shop vac, but it was still dirty in the corners, I want mine very clean, you made it easy! Tha ks for sharing.
@@tiC12668 $70 fan? I wouldn’t spray it with hose. It only take an hour of your time to unscrew and assemble to make it right. The motor arent covered and they are exposed when they get wet problem will show or cause fire. I know lasko brand they made it easier to disassemble.
I’ve taken apart my fan the other day. Your taking a big chance spraying water through the inside. There are wires throughout whole tower from the top going down to the bottom where motor is! Be careful!!! Also it’s good to open it correctly so that you can spray the fan with WD40 on the bottom after you’re done cleaning it!
It's true. It completely works we were going to order a new tower fan but then I decided to check TH-cam on cleaning then and cane across this video. Since we had already agreed to buy a new one I decided what the hell I'll give it a try. After letting it dry for a few days just to be sure. We decided we didn't need to buy a new one because this one blows like it's brand new again.
Um...you CANNOT soak the control panel, it's ELECTRIFIED!!! DO NOT try what she did unless you remove the control panel assembly up top first. AND...the fan, even upside down, the motor is halfway between the lower housing and the actual fan blade housing. In short...B A D I D E A.
um you can just let it fully dry like 1000% dry and it will work but for my easy home tower fan idk on how i should dry it like should i dry it flat? down? or straight idk
@@lapque I have taken these fans apart on a yearly basis for cleaning, and I can tell you that the top control panel has the circuit board that is a pretty good place to hold in water, and you could never be fully sure it's dried once moisture gets into it. It can be disassembled and the fan drum can be washed in the tub. If you opt in for taking a hose to it, lay it flat when doing it, and avoid hosing down any part of this fan you see from the front grill that does not have an open area on. Everything below is electrical, and that also is a huge risk as water getting into that won't dry out for a long time. Honestly, if you really want to clean your tower fan without disassembling it, get an air compressor or one of those hand held air blaster guns you can get on Amazon cheaply. That will clean out all of the dust without putting you at risk for an electrical shock, or destroying the fan due to it being shorted out. Here is the one I bought. It works very well, but you have to keep an eye on the lower foam filter while using it because it clogs up quickly and can burn out the gun. Easy to clean out though, which makes this an almost zero maintenance tool. It will blast all the loose dust and hair out of a tower fan, but you might want to do this outside and wear a dust mask as it really kicks up a dust storm. Hope this helps. www.amazon.com/XPOWER-Inflating-Detailing-Performance-Eco-Friendly/dp/B086WRHRSJ/ref=sr_1_18?crid=1ZI12QZ2XF086&keywords=air+compressor+duster+electric&qid=1662399433&sprefix=air+compressor+duster+electric%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-18
great video, the other videos show people using a vacuum or a shop vac but that doesn't get out the dust bunnies inside like the water does. and if you have sat there with tweezers like i have after using a shop vac to still find huge dust bunnies than this is for you
Alternative method that takes 10 seconds and that I use on all electronics. Electric leaf blower at low speed a couple feet away. I use the same method to clean Gaming PC's that cost thousands of dollars. With those make sure to elevate them on a table or something so no pebbles get blown into the electronic parts.
I was so excited to try this when I realized mine has an LED display on the top so i cant spray it with water. Turns out it wasnt an led display. Just a panel with lights and displays functions. I used her water spray technique. It's a miracle. Im ever so grateful 🙏
For all you techies crybabies seems like this woman does this every time she cleans her fan. Eventually all things fall apart with or without water, let her have her fun!
Omg I love you!! You saved the little bit of sanity I have left. Wish I saw your video before I took apart my first fan. Thank you so much, you're a genius! 😇👍
Stacey Alexis next time , even if you put it apart is not clean well enough .. before I tried washing that’s what I did and I wasn’t happy so I came up with the idea of washing it and it worked .. so mine I washed at least 3 times a year .
If you have air compressor its the way to go. Dont be lazy using the water hose that can ruin those motors and screws. A cheap tower fan just go ahead use the fire hydrant it will look brand new. 😂
I have a trashpick cascade just like the one you have. It works fine and even has the remote! But it is as dusty as all out get out. I figured the previous owners did not want to take it apart to clean it, nor pay somebody else to do it. So they left it by the dumpster. I already vacuumed the slits on the outside of the machine. And I duct taped a straw on the end of a crevice tool to get inside to vacuum the squirrel cage. That helps, but will take a lot of time to get all the dust out, But using water to clean out the machine like you did? I’m not sure if 45 minutes of sun drying or even heat air drying is enough to get all the moisture out. Me, I would spend at least a couple hours heat drying it, and then let it sit inside(or out in the sun) for 24 hours before plugging it into a GFCI outlet, I have done that plenty of times with trashpicked appliances that I have found on rainy days over the last nine years. It is very important to get all of the moisture out of those delicate electronics, such as those that are found at the top of the machine, which you had upside down.
Awesome way of cleaning the fan the only problem that you have to have concern with it’s electrical now what you should have added was a whole day of dry in the sun because you do not want any electrical opponents to be wet when plugging his fan back in but I agree by turning the fan over it’s not going to get the motor wet but however the way the fan was The electrical opponents to turn the fan on will get wet
P B Yes , main reason why I tried cause those videos still didn’t give me a full clean fan , so I took a risk and did it like that and it work... Thank you
ours didn't work after first day (there were some water at the bottom still) ... it didn't work. But next day, when it's finally dried up, it worked :)
This is a straight up dangerous thing to do. Water and electricity like this DO NOT MIX SAFELY. Aren't people taught basic stuff like this anymore? Aside from safety concerns you'll likely ruin the fan. This lady means well but she's ignorant. Reminds me of back when electricity was first introduced, people were electrocuting themselves or burning down their homes on a regular basis because they'd do things like this.
It’s up to you , don’t do it if you don’t want to , no one is forcing anyone here , people are free to decoy to do it or not . It’s a personal choice, but honestly if you let it dry for at least 4 hours in a sunny day nothing will hapoen
Maybe just leave it plugged in running while you dump a water hose on a electrical appliance next time 🤔. Don't do this use a shop vacuum or a leaf blower to blow the dust out. She trying to ruin your shit or get you electrocuted
Hi Loretta, is up to you , I did it cause I am asthmatic and clean fan is so important. When I did it the first time I took my chances but I was going to get a new fan regardless. I did it and I done it so many times in my fan already and it works perfectly fine after is dry off. I love to see how clean it is.
@@zmhhdez7511 Clean is great but your asthma won't be so great when the controls short out and your house burns down. And what about all the dirt that got washed up inside to the top, again with the controls? But it's okay because you were going to buy another one anyway? Sheesh. On the basis of common sense I think this is a bad idea. Taking the fan apart is more work but on the other side you'll have a clean fan that still works, won't still be full of dirt, and no fire hazard.
Done it over 20 times same fan , never had any issues nor short cuts… so it won’t cost much to buy a new one rally , but why if works ? I still have it looking new … will be uploading another video soon
tower fans pulled those dirt off the air which is like a "bonus" air filter "effect". manufacturers of such fans should make it easy to dismantle and clean and maybe enhance the "filter" effect with maybe metal fins and ionization
I like the idea of cleaning the tower fan with water, especially since I don't have an air compressor or a leaf blower, but I do have access to a hose at the community garden in the park across the street. It does seem risky to allow water to get into the electronics, so I think I will remove the top piece of our Seville Classics (Costco) fan. The electronics are attached to this top piece. The top piece can be separated from the fan by taking out two Phillips-head screws, although there will still be a wire joining the electronics to the fan. (I'll have to be careful that I don't put any stress on the wire at any time during the whole process of disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly.) Once the top piece is off, I'll put a plastic bag around it and seal it around the wire, with tape I suppose. This should prevent any water from getting onto the electronics. Then I'll carefully stand the fan on its head with the plastic bag (containing the top piece with the electronics) lying on the ground close by, still connected to the fan by that short wire. Now the fan can be cleaned with the hose. If I'm careful not to splash water upwards, the motor should stay dry, and if I've done a good job of sealing the plastic bag, the electronics should stay dry. When I finish cleaning the fan, I'll give it enough time to dry so that no water will be there to drip onto the motor when I put the fan right side up and pop the top piece back on (after removing the plastic bag, of course). So to make a long story short, I propose to: 1. Remove the two screws that hold the top piece on. 2. Remove the top piece which has electronics attached. 3. Put it in a plastic bag. 4. Seal the bag with tape around the wire. 5. Stand the fan on its head, bag on the ground beside it. 6. Hose it clean. 7. Let it dry. 8. Put it right side up. 9. Take the bag off the top piece. 10. Put the top piece back on and secure it with the two screws.
The electronics are in the top, the motor was in the bottom of mine. And the cable runs through the base and is a little exposed where it goes into motor. Cable going up has shrink cable to protect it
Good tip! But I wish I should have paid extra attention to the end of her video or she should be honest saying that her method would kill the light and the setting function. I tried her way and now all the buttons on my fan are not working. Exactly same thing in her video, pay attention, when she turn it on, the lights of her fan are not on (ex: the power light) and I bet her fan can not oscillate or using the power button at all (that's why she has to use the remote control even though she standing right next to it). Take away is before you try this quick and easy method to clean your fan, make sure you have it set up the way you want permanently (ex: speed 2, oscilate yes) and then rinse water like her. The fan end up till working but the setting you had before now fixed and no longer be able to adjust nor use any buttons. My fan now is just plug in directly to turn on and plug out to turn off.
I will do an video soon , turn it on by pushing the actual bottom, either way it works so no sure what you are saying. If it doesn’t dry all the way , you might at the beginning the brooms give you trouble as some have mention , but once it dries in her own it goes back to normal. Next video coming soon... look not saying it will be perfect sometimes I believe depends how old is the fan. I did one super old and it work, but the remote no longer work , but the lady was happy that it was clean even if she had to turn on by hand.
I cleaned my tower fan the method you suggested. After cleaning when dried, I plugged in, fan was directed. electric penel gone, means no button is in function. Where are you located. I wish to you this fan free. " Little knowledge is dangerous" Bilal Qureshi Calgary, Canada
This is the fastest & easiest way to clean a tower fan.....but i would no recommend this. The circuit board will be damage and the metal gear holding the fan inside will rust, always remember electronics circuit and water dont mix...
Don’t get the top part wet where the buttons are, but I just got through cleaning mine and it looks absolutely brand new. Just a slight high pressure in the front and back and you should see all the dog hair that came out.
pavy415 no worries , mine is not big either ... the first I did was outside my apartment that many other tenants started to do the same ... so you need very little space, but most definitely you need a hose.
Please be careful doing this. I know you mean very well and it’s awesome you are trying to save others time with this method, but in Hindsight it is REALLY bad for the fan. No matter if it’s a manual controlled or electronic controlled like in the video, the water and any of the components in the fan will rust and cause it to fail even quicker. If you can, take it apart. If you can’t, might as well throw away or donate and buy one you can take apart.

Wow, great tip! Other YT videos suggested taking apart everything, looked like a mess. This also looks the most hygienic way to clean as well.
P B Yes , main reason why I tried cause those videos still didn’t give me a full clean fan , so I took a risk and did it like that and it work... Thank you
Yeah you can clean it like this if you want your fan to break water isn't supposed to touch electric powered things
OMG!! Finally someone to help me clean my Costco fan!!!! Thank you!!!!! Thank you for your help!!!!
Grecia Flores Thank you , let me
Know if you do it how it went
Hahaha man. I did this I guess the wrong way. My fan stopped working
Costco has the fan on sale for $19.99 from time to time. Then they go back up to $29.99
It probably needs lub; just saw a video for that.
ours didn't work after first day (there were some water at the bottom still) ... it didn't work. But next day, when it's finally dried up, it worked :)
Are you stupid of course it stopped working it's water and your putting it in electric components smh
This is a straight up dangerous thing to do. Water and electricity like this DO NOT MIX SAFELY. Aren't people taught basic stuff like this anymore? Aside from safety concerns you'll likely ruin the fan. This lady means well but she's ignorant. Reminds me of back when electricity was first introduced, people were electrocuting themselves or burning down their homes on a regular basis because they'd do things like this.
It’s up to you , don’t do it if you don’t want to , no one is forcing anyone here , people are free to decoy to do it or not . It’s a personal choice, but honestly if you let it dry for at least 4 hours in a sunny day nothing will hapoen
Just take out the screws and vacuum. Mine is newer model had like 12 screws and i only put 4 corner screws back in for next time and its still sturdy.
Wow. Thank you so much for the tip
I had this tower fan at home
I certainly wouldn’t hose mine down!
Thank you!!
I pulled my tower fan apart screw by screw only to find this video right after
Maybe just leave it plugged in running while you dump a water hose on a electrical appliance next time 🤔. Don't do this use a shop vacuum or a leaf blower to blow the dust out. She trying to ruin your shit or get you electrocuted
Now you got the electric panel wet so the functions are gonna explode or short out.
I tried it and it worked so well I have to get a new fan! 😅
Even though the motor in at the base but the operating switches are on top, won't water go in that? I'm feeling nervous to try this experiment 🥺🥺
Hi Loretta, is up to you , I did it cause I am asthmatic and clean fan is so important. When I did it the first time I took my chances but I was going to get a new fan regardless. I did it and I done it so many times in my fan already and it works perfectly fine after is dry off. I love to see how clean it is.
@@zmhhdez7511 Clean is great but your asthma won't be so great when the controls short out and your house burns down. And what about all the dirt that got washed up inside to the top, again with the controls? But it's okay because you were going to buy another one anyway? Sheesh. On the basis of common sense I think this is a bad idea. Taking the fan apart is more work but on the other side you'll have a clean fan that still works, won't still be full of dirt, and no fire hazard.
Done it over 20 times same fan , never had any issues nor short cuts… so it won’t cost much to buy a new one rally , but why if works ? I still have it looking new … will be uploading another video soon
What have you got to loose? Makes great sense especially in hot climates where things dry so quickly! Thnx
Thank you 😊
tower fans pulled those dirt off the air which is like a "bonus" air filter "effect". manufacturers of such fans should make it easy to dismantle and clean and maybe enhance the "filter" effect with maybe metal fins and ionization
I like the idea of cleaning the tower fan with water, especially since I don't have an air compressor or a leaf blower, but I do have access to a hose at the community garden in the park across the street. It does seem risky to allow water to get into the electronics, so I think I will remove the top piece of our Seville Classics (Costco) fan. The electronics are attached to this top piece. The top piece can be separated from the fan by taking out two Phillips-head screws, although there will still be a wire joining the electronics to the fan. (I'll have to be careful that I don't put any stress on the wire at any time during the whole process of disassembly, cleaning, and reassembly.) Once the top piece is off, I'll put a plastic bag around it and seal it around the wire, with tape I suppose. This should prevent any water from getting onto the electronics. Then I'll carefully stand the fan on its head with the plastic bag (containing the top piece with the electronics) lying on the ground close by, still connected to the fan by that short wire. Now the fan can be cleaned with the hose. If I'm careful not to splash water upwards, the motor should stay dry, and if I've done a good job of sealing the plastic bag, the electronics should stay dry. When I finish cleaning the fan, I'll give it enough time to dry so that no water will be there to drip onto the motor when I put the fan right side up and pop the top piece back on (after removing the plastic bag, of course).
So to make a long story short, I propose to:
1. Remove the two screws that hold the top piece on.
2. Remove the top piece which has electronics attached.
3. Put it in a plastic bag.
4. Seal the bag with tape around the wire.
5. Stand the fan on its head, bag on the ground beside it.
6. Hose it clean.
7. Let it dry.
8. Put it right side up.
9. Take the bag off the top piece.
10. Put the top piece back on and secure it with the two screws.
The electronics are in the top, the motor was in the bottom of mine. And the cable runs through the base and is a little exposed where it goes into motor. Cable going up has shrink cable to protect it
Good tip! But I wish I should have paid extra attention to the end of her video or she should be honest saying that her method would kill the light and the setting function. I tried her way and now all the buttons on my fan are not working. Exactly same thing in her video, pay attention, when she turn it on, the lights of her fan are not on (ex: the power light) and I bet her fan can not oscillate or using the power button at all (that's why she has to use the remote control even though she standing right next to it). Take away is before you try this quick and easy method to clean your fan, make sure you have it set up the way you want permanently (ex: speed 2, oscilate yes) and then rinse water like her. The fan end up till working but the setting you had before now fixed and no longer be able to adjust nor use any buttons. My fan now is just plug in directly to turn on and plug out to turn off.
I will do an video soon , turn it on by pushing the actual bottom, either way it works so no sure what you are saying. If it doesn’t dry all the way , you might at the beginning the brooms give you trouble as some have mention , but once it dries in her own it goes back to normal.
Next video coming soon... look not saying it will be perfect sometimes I believe depends how old is the fan. I did one super old and it work, but the remote no longer work , but the lady was happy that it was clean even if she had to turn on by hand.
Goteeeemmm llls
gracias por mostrarnos una mejor manera
Evelyn Calzada - Me es un placer !!!!
I wasn’t expecting the tan to work after putting water on it.
Now only my remote wil work buttons won’t but it’s blowing a lot better!
Oh wow, who knew there was such an easy way to clean this without taking it apart. Cant wait to try it!!!
Yes just tried !!!
I think the side ways will be better
I cleaned my tower fan the method you suggested.
After cleaning when dried, I plugged in, fan was directed. electric penel gone, means no button is in function.
Where are you located. I wish to you this fan free.

This is the fastest & easiest way to clean a tower fan.....but i would no recommend this. The circuit board will be damage and the metal gear holding the fan inside will rust, always remember electronics circuit and water dont mix...
I’d think people would want to turn it on it’s side because all the dirt and water will now go to the top where the buttons and lights are.
Why are they using water with electricity components in the first place ?
@@Speedyx485 Because they're not thinking.
Don’t get the top part wet where the buttons are, but I just got through cleaning mine and it looks absolutely brand new. Just a slight high pressure in the front and back and you should see all the dog hair that came out.
Air not water right?
I just did this and my tower fan is ruined now. We had a DREO wifi tower fan that worked great until I did exactly what was shown in this video.
You the best 🥳
Doesn't matter if water wet the buttons?
The button on the top doesn't get ruined???
It plainly states in the owners Manuel not to get the fan wet or place it in direct sunlight. Two strikes for you
I just took my Lasko tower fan apart and saw there's circuit boards at the top so water is a no/no!
Thank you so much 💜
i just ruined my tower fan following ur instuctoins, the electrifcals actually on the top, and while hosing down water it ruined the electricals :(
THANK YOU!!!
99 percent of us do not have that big ass back yard lol
pavy415 no worries , mine is not big either ... the first I did was outside my apartment that many other tenants started to do the same ... so you need very little space, but most definitely you need a hose.
I wish I had a yard... even a small one.
Please be careful doing this. I know you mean very well and it’s awesome you are trying to save others time with this method, but in Hindsight it is REALLY bad for the fan. No matter if it’s a manual controlled or electronic controlled like in the video, the water and any of the components in the fan will rust and cause it to fail even quicker. If you can, take it apart. If you can’t, might as well throw away or donate and buy one you can take apart.
I don’t agree with you , but you don’t need to do it if you don’t want to … I done my fan several times and I haven’t had any issues with it.
Wonderful. Going to throw mine away. Thank you
Ok I am
Sorry
I would've taken it if you shipped it to me lmao
Why are u throwing it away ? Did it stop working ?
You're a dum* a** for trying it
I fucked up my fan after I did this .. now it don't work
Thnk yu❤️
Dont. Just dont. Dangerous method
Seems like eventually it will screw up the control buttons on top of the fan.
Thank you
I wouldn't be doing it the way she did it thats for sure water and electricity do not mix
Tried this and now it doesn’t work 💀 there goes 100$
It is not a good idea to soak electric appliances.
Do you submerge your toaster in the sink?
Do you wash your hair dryer in the washing machine? No.
I tried the process but it ruined my fan now I can’t turn on. Don’t lesson to her
That looks easy! Thank you
I sure didn’t think you could put water on a tower fan
Don’t unless you want it to bresk
Great thanks!!!
I would never, ever do this
