Review on 🌀 TPI F12-TE 12-Inch Diameter Single Phase Industrial Workstation Floor Fan - 120V by Cynthia Smith

I think this is a very underrated fan. The build quality corresponds to the quality of fans from the 1980s. The motor has oil ports to lubricate the bearings, which I haven't seen on a fan in at least 20 years. The engine is big, powerful and quiet. The blade is balanced. The stand is stable and the guards are reliable. The stand has large rubber feet. The cord is significantly longer than most modern devices and is grounded. The only downside of this fan is the small difference in speed. I would prefer the low speed to be half what it is. The fan generates very strong wind at all speeds and is also relatively noisy at all speeds due to the short range. However, this is just the sound of blades cutting through the air, a very pleasant sound in my opinion. No engine hum, clicks, vibrations or other annoying noises. You probably won't forget it's on, but it's easy to ignore in the background. It's quite heavy, although I take that as a plus, others may find it uncomfortable. qualitatively it's the Air King 9212. The Air King has a better RPM range and uses ball bearings instead of a hub, however the blade is poorly balanced resulting in excessive vibration. The build quality of this TPI fan, specifically quality control and consistency, appears to be superior to the Air King. This is an expensive fan but worth every penny. Performance and build quality are top notch. With regular cleaning and a few drops of oil I see no reason why this fan won't last as many years as it once did.
