20" Fan Harbor Freight vs Walmart Mainstay

Quick look at the Central Machine 20" shop fan and a comparison to the Mainstay 20" fan I got at Walmart last year.

    In Arizona summers mine are running for about 8 hours continuously. I haven't had issues with either one. I don't have any pets though. Thanks for watching.

    Looks very similar to the Commercial Electric and Maxx Air fans at Home Depot for about the same price. But to do a real comparison you need to put a Kill-O-Watt meter on the fans and use an anemometer ($15 on the jungle site) for objective measurements.

    Niether of these two have any holes in the base. To mount it to a wall takes a single hook that would allow the base to sit flush on the wall. The fan can be rotated up 90° to blow straight out from the wall. The Mainstay offers more adjustment angle in this application (past 90°).

    Both of these would mount the same way as the Hypertough, but the hook is not provided.

    Clean the blades on the main stay. Clean blades blow more air.

    I think the blades were pretty clean on the Mainstay, but do agree that dirty blades will affect performance. Thanks for watching.

    Could I install misters to these fans that would "reliably" spray vegetable oil on the contestants of a bikini tickle fight and oil wrestling event we're having to raise money for charity.

    Anything can be attempted, but no guarentee on the result. Try at your own risk. You may want a stronger fan. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6KdwcuHgdqtpdY.html

    For sure these two at least come from China, but they do perform differently. I might get another brand sometime (when on sale...) for more comparison. Thanks for watching.
