Lol, We have them in New Zealand branded Mistral, Theres a video of mine with its original box on my channel, And in America they are branded "Windmere"
I also got one of these little things a few years back. considering how small it is, I think its a pretty good performer but then again my one doesnt have such warped blades like yours. Compared this to a fellow collector's fan from the states and it seems our versions have different motors from the american models but thats probably due to the voltage difference.
I do think the warped blades make quite a big difference since this one has underwhelming performance, the blades were worse when I first got it but at some point i'll try to deal with the rest of the warping. The different motors make sense since the voltage difference between here and the states is over 100 and running a 120 volt motor on 230 is not pleasant. Also I do believe these are common in the states but I rarely see 230 volt models about
@@Connectitthefancollector yeah these 230v ones in this style that were almost identical to the windmeres arent common at all. More often then not, you only find the pifco ones with the different motor housing.
Sorry I got it wrong this fan was made by paragon industrial they made fans like this for pifco and windmere the 6 inch and bigger fans from the late 80s to mid 90s under the windmere brand were manufactured by kuo horng
@@mrfanman9209Most do yes. Certain ones like the galaxy ones do have some good pitch. Although those small fisher price fans amhad ok pitch from what I remember

Agreed. It is awful pitch, it was worse when I got it lol
@@Connectitthefancollector yeah but most 7 inch desk fan have poor blade pitch
