I still have a 14 inch Patton fan and it was bought new for $40 us at the Home Depot months after I was born, it’s a real high velocity fan unlike the new ones from the big box stores.
Nice! I bet it's a special fan in your collection since you've had it all your life. I agree that the older Pattons were real HV fans.
@@TheSuperFanMan My family has a Commercial Electric 20-inch pedestal fan. We keep it in the hallway to keep the area cool. It looks just like the fan on the right, except the blades are straight, not curved.
The Patton fans just look beefier and better built. I have two older Pattons with the blue blades, a 14” and 18”, both I bought second hand at local swapmeets. Despite the age and a little rust, they are both beasts.
Absolutely! The 90s Pattons were the last of the good high velocity fans. They just keep running. A bit of steel wool might take care of the rust on your fans!
Thank you!
Just like everything keep your old Patton fan and enjoy the good memories. I just received my new 18-inch version on Amazon, price just under $100. It is basically the commercial electric fan with a Patton label. and made in China. It has the same exact hooked fan blades and small motor that the commercial electric one has. I think Patton now is just another label from a generic manufacturer.
I believe the recent Pattons are made by the same manufacturer that produced fans for Sunbeam and Holmes. Sure, they may not be the same as older Pattons, but I honestly think the newer Pattons are still alright.
I went to Home Depot and bought the commercial electric 18 inch fan for 54 dollars plus tax, the Patton fan was nearly identical. The Home Depot fan was better balanced and no negligible difference in airflow. This might be a good future video comparison for you to do. I think most brands we grew up with and loved have become generic resellers riding on a once great brand and laughing all the way to the bank.Thanks, best wishes.
Oil port?
Patton wins
100%!
Been a while since you’ve gone a comparison! The Patton is obviously better.
Yep! Old but gold!
@@TheSuperFanMan Patton: EAT MY DUST!
Commercial Electric: Aww, shucks!
Good comparison video of these 2 high velocity fans bro
Thanks Luis!
would you happen to know the blade pitch on the patton fan's blade?
Also the Stanley yellow high velocity fan on Amazon I consider it to be ranking in between the patton and the commercial electric in terms of quality and performance.
Yeah it does seem to be more substantial than the Commercial Electric. It is quite a bit more expensive though, so it makes sense.
@@TheSuperFanMan I just learned yesterday that because of the devaluing of our currency through inflation partially caused these really cheap modern fans to be built today. Because if the same vintage box fan for example that costed $25 in 1980's money, it would now cost $60 in today's currency for the same quality.
What would be the difference between a 3 blade and 5 blade design? Both being 20 inch floor/work fan.
It would depend on the blade geometry. If the blade shape is completely identical, more blades generally would mean more airflow. But in most cases, each blade on a 5 blade fans is skinnier than on a 3 blade fan, so they often don’t move more air and are noisier.
I’m a fan a collector and I want more fans but I don’t have room for them.
patton is going to blow that over for lunch the commerical electric is decent for modern day fan but nothing like the old patton
That's not even a fair fight.
iLIVING ILG8F21 has a 3.0A motor that is the same size as the one in the Patton.
I think it can fight the Patton to a draw.
It’s supposed to be a comparison between two highly popular high velocity fans, one from recent years and one from the past. Whether they match in performance or not wasn’t the intended goal of the video.
@@TheSuperFanMan Fair enough. That said, it would be great if you can get the iLIVING ILG8F21 to compare with the Patton. Some commentors claim that you can't get a high velocity fan that is as powerful as that Patton anymore and I don't think that that is true.
I do agree with that. Along with the iLiving, TPI has some high velocity fans that would probably perform at Patton’s level. But pretty much anything sold at big box stores won’t.
oh it's patton rematch time
Hmm maybe with the Honeywell HV-180?
The three speeds on the patton are real speeds, the three speeds on the modern fan are not real speeds. They are like high, high 2 and high 3.
So true!
@@TheSuperFanMan Yea I never understood why they made the fan like that with three speeds not that spread apart
Patton I think it 110watts. Commercial electric is probably 90watts
The Patton would be 312 watts, and 162 watts for the Commercial Electric. You can multiply the current to the voltage to get power in watts. So for the Patton: 2.6 amps x 120 volts = 312 watts.
@@TheSuperFanMan oh nice that motor would be great for a industrial 30” drum fan
Yep! Generally 120V fans draw about double the current 220-240V fans draw. For example a fan rated for 240V 0.2A, would likely have a 120V equivalent of 0.4A or so.
The New fan has too much similarities in speed
Yep, that’s one of the main drawbacks. The speed is more like high, higher, highest, rather than a proper low, medium and high lol.
