i had the same issue with mines when i got it back in 2018 gave it some oil and it now it works so much better but for a cheap fan given where its made it now has a decent spin down time good video and i enjoyed it bro
Good video bro on the comfort zone high velocity fan that needed servicing and a couple of drops around the motor and on the front as well as the shaft with cooling fins on there these high velocity fans use their cheap lubrication I really enjoy the sound of this fan when is at the highest speed and start-up sound is fantastic which is one of my favorites
I just saw an Uncomfortable zone industrial floor fan that was recently bought being used in one of the MBTA subway stations. For many years, the TPI and Dayton floor fan’s would be the only ones there. I’m considering putting notes on the old TPI and Dayton’s saying to keep them and take care of them as they will outlast any modern fan of today. They are particularly nostalgic for me as I’ve seen those exact fans as a kid, and I’d hate to see them go.
Sadly the maintenance crews in most places don't care anymore, and the people higher up don't care because most of them buy into these energy efficiency schemes and would rather replace than repair. So many of the fans I remember seeing a decade or two ago are gone now which is really a bummer.
A new fan here. (See what I did there)? Nowadays I like to shop at thrift stores and whenever I see a Holmes stand fan I’ll plug it in and if it runs I’ll buy it. Sometimes for half price if it’s a Monday. Bring it home, take it apart, clean it up and oil it too. I have the same exact oil bottle but it’s running low. I notice that you use 3 in 1 oil. Would it be ok to refill it with the 3 in 1? I think originally it’s sewing machine lubricant, right?
I have the same kind and it ran great for a few months.Now when I turn it on low it is running much slower and if I turn it to med. it slows down more than the low.It is so slow now on med. that it almost stops.
I noticed that the Bering in the fan is made out of steel and not brass which is not a smart thing for china pride fan because they are not prelubercated the brass Berings have really tiny holes in them to prelubercate the brass fan what I do to a dry brass Berings is I use a container and put the dry Bering in it and use the same oil that you use for fans and pour it in the container and wait for a day or two before taking it out and then you got a prelubercated fan Bering. I did the same thing with that vintage fan I found in the dumpster where it had a locked Bering and now after doing the oil soking the Bering it now runs good and video 👍🤠
Just tore apart the one i stooped months back. Put it back together and it's making a nasty rattling. Going to open it back up tomorrow. Thanks man.

True it's made in the China so you can't expect much, but it really shouldn't need to be oiled right out of the box!
@@JordanU and same with mines and now like i did with the last one i'm going to give it oil in the front bearing only and see what happens
@@LemontTheFanMan Hopefully that will help but ultimately I think both bearings need to be lubricated.
@@JordanU that's true I'll do the best i can for i don't split motors lol

Nice video…really appreciate it!!
Thanks
Would you say that this unit is comparable in performance and build as the Air king you already have of similar size?

You can refill it with the 3-in-1 blue can. But I wouldn't mix the two, let it run out completely first.
Nice video
Thanks.
Nice. I havent had to do this yet, but now I know for future maintenance. The instructions weren't very clear about what to do.
The instructions will not underscore this process; they want you to discard and buy a new one when anything goes wrong.

It probably needs to be oiled as seen in this video.
Thn once you/ya gt bggr, the ptch gts flttr. It’s usually the smaller 1nes tht hve a dot ptch
Could you work on the Larger comfort zone fans. I had a leg come off real loose out of nowhere.
I don't have one.
I like it
OK

But is it better than a box fan?
It's not better or worse, it's a completely different product.
i like it
OK
OK

OK
Probably jst a lght weight blde or so/smthng lke tht
hello
Greetings.
Hi
/smthng lke tht
That's why vintage fans are better. You shouldn't have had to go through all that work with a brand new fan. Bogus!
I agree!
These are probably the worst HV fans sold today. Very poor design.
What makes you say it's so bad? It's no Lakewood, but I think it's pretty decent for something made today.
Todays fans are so cheap u cannot even compare it to the fans of the past
I know.
Dpr, nt dot/wht ws put🤦🏼♂️😤🤦🏼♂️
