A very similar thing was going on with the Lasko 3733's when the petal blades first came out in 1999. Some fans had the full size motor like the one you have from 99-00, and some had the small made in china motor. I think for the most part most of the fans had the full size motor and the ones that had the smaller motor were the minority, but there was no way to tell what motor the fan had by looking at the box. It was all luck of the draw.
In Indonesia, we have a brand that makes different but same fans too. That brand is Miyako. Their newer pedestal fans are sometimes powerful, sometimes very weak, even though it's the same model.
Iv found that the ones with the larger capacitors move more air. Im sure when Lasko assembles these they just have a big box of motors they put in there..
If you still have the slower one could you make a video of it showing close up detail of the blades? I think the reason its significantly slower is that the blades have excess plastic on the edges leaving them slightly wider than normal. I recently had a 2019 and it ran the same as the slower one in this video and i discovered it had excess plastic on the blades.
I have a couple these same fans with the smaller capacitors. Both are burn out. Do you think I'm safe to install larger capacitors? Specifically these specs (ones I found on Amazon): 450V AC 50/60Hz Run Capacitor 2-Wire Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors for Ceiling Fan Motor Start Run 4uf CBB61-4
If the fans no longer run, I suspect it's probably a thermal fuse issue or a bearings issue. While it's certainly not impossible, I've never seen one of these with a capacitor failure. When replacing a capacitor, the voltage and frequency should be equal to or greater than the original specifications. The uf (microfarad) specification should be the same.
Hi, I am a blind person, so I don’t know what brand of fans they are, however, I can hear fairly good. It seems as though, like you said, one draws more power than the other fan. LOL.
LOL Wow bro one is simply better then the Other its a Lakso freak show the one that has the Startup Sound that's your for sure. good video I enjoyed it
This reminds me of the similar situation I found at my school. They have those cheap contractor ceiling fans that you would typically see at a very large Goodwill Flea Market in the cashier area. "to be honest, I don't know what they are, but you would probably know as I describe them. They look like white Hampton Bay Brookhurst ceiling fans without light kits, and they have those canopies that are secured by two screws at the bottom where the ball socket is usually exposed, supposedly what you would see on some 1980's Craftmade ceiling fans." Anyways, I compared the ceiling fan that is in my math class, to the other ceiling fan that is in my reading class. They were both on high speed, BUT the ceiling fan that is in my reading class was MUCH slower than the ceiling fan that is in my math class. Where did the good quality go? I can't believe this is real life. *I am extremely sorry for the fact that this comment is very long and messy. I am not trying to spam.*
In these box fans the capacitors are different values, the ceiling fan situation is a little different.. They're a case of the capacitors being very poor quality and drifting.. The quality is gone, and most likely it's just going to get even worse, which is sometimes hard to believe.. A lengthy comment does not make it spam; this was a story relevant to the video..

#2 has a surprisingly pronounced startup sound!
Indeed.
Sagitta is the manufacturer of the higher quality motor from what I have seen in Lasko fans.
Thanks for letting me know.
They aren't same of 2nd box fan Lasko and 1st box fan!
fan #2 moves a lot more air than fan #1
OK
Oh wow
What?
Seems like the weaker fan should be returned. That's what i would have wanted to do.
I think that would be unreasonable.
If they're not the same, they must be different!
Lol true
True bro.. Thanks for such a deep insight..
you haven't been on to chat can you chat .. lol
Yes, I'm on now..
home depot sells 2 box fans- The Lasko 3733, and the Lasko B20201. The "weaker one" is the 3733.
The two in the video are labeled the same..
In Indonesia, we have a brand that makes different but same fans too. That brand is Miyako. Their newer pedestal fans are sometimes powerful, sometimes very weak, even though it's the same model.
My church has the weaker one, and it barely moves any air.
It's a shame how inconsistent quality control has become..
Jordan U i agree
Excellent video! The 2nd Lasko Box Fan moves more air than the 1st box fan! Definitely not the same!
True..
Fan #1 is not Q.C. passed.
There is no QC with these anymore.
Iv found that the ones with the larger capacitors move more air. Im sure when Lasko assembles these they just have a big box of motors they put in there..
They definitely do.. I'm guessing they just pull whatever parts happen to be cheapest at the moment and put those in..
I like the slower ones because speed wise they run like the vintage ones which is why i find the slower ones interesting
I prefer the slower one because it's not as loud.
LOL. That is pretty weird, That they are the same fans, however, different advanced internals.
Indeed
Ive got a lasko cool colors purple box fan and it has a bigger capaciter
The capacitors are different.
I know.........
I used to have a 3733 with the big capacitor. Trust me those motors get hot FAST!!! lol
That's not good.. Will be interesting to see how long they last..
The high speed on fan #2 is higher-pitched than fan #1. I can hear the difference.
OK
😳
I have a sneaking suspicion that the more powerful fan is a Lasko B20200.
These two fans are the same model..

The difference is within the capacitor; the blades are the same on these two.
well fan #2 has a bigger capacitor and the fan #2's windings are spaced out more than fan #1
OK

@@JordanU thank you
Can you do a video between your 1999 lasko box fan and your new lasko box fan
Not sure when I'll have a chance to record it, but I can definitely do a comparison video at some point..
That the same fan Jordan!!!
Hi, I am a blind person, so I don’t know what brand of fans they are, however, I can hear fairly good. It seems as though, like you said, one draws more power than the other fan. LOL.
They are Lasko fans..
Lamarcus Brown I am blind to
LOL Wow bro one is simply better then the Other its a Lakso freak show the one that has the Startup Sound that's your for sure. good video I enjoyed it
Lemont The Fan Man Bro yeah this is suprising for even the copper on weaker motor is less and the powerfull motor has a lot of copper
So even the motors itself minus the capacitor are slightly different
Glad you enjoyed the video..
Seems like fan #2 has significantly more torque, if you will, than the other one.
Correct.
I like it
That's nice..

You would probably know what fan I am taking about as I show you this:

Jordan U - Also, I've uploaded another video & this time, it'll be my 1st fan video because the video goes to you.
OK
