Hopefully these ones become successful and available everywhere. Very cool

This device was love at first sight. It works better than expected but their life spans are 3months. A wonderful summer fling.

Ours have lasted way longer than that.

I never got the reverse pitch on socket fans. More likely to unscrew themselves. I wonder if it’s just hard to get the manufacturer to make them “normal” pitched since most portables and mini ceiling fans go clockwise

@TortureBot Жыл бұрын

I see what you guys mean by the reverse pitch, but did you notice the illustration on the box shows normal pitch instead of reverse like the actual product is in reality?

@Emanfan96 Жыл бұрын

I’m honestly considering putting one of these in my bedroom closet. I was thinking of installing my Monte Carlo Micro 24” fan and hook it up with a plug sucker thing but it would barely fit and probably not move much air. This on the other hand I can see doing a better job due to the size.

@stevebouherrera473 6 ай бұрын

I think maybe you must substract the center element from the air flow calculations. Isn’t a lot, is only about 7%. So final flow could be about 1200

@dspiffy 6 ай бұрын

The correct way to do it would be to measure the entire surface area of the fan, including the center, then average the readings. But we do some fans that are 5' and larger and you have to be on a ladder. We decided just to simplify.

I just tried one and it’s good for it’s size but I returned it because you can’t change the fan direction to get the downward air flow, the light is good, I tried it under my back porch roof overhang.

These are about 15.8 inches I measured mine when I first got it

@katthefanenthusiast5793 Жыл бұрын

You see that sometimes if the factory uses the metric system, so it’ll be “in between inches”. Some “56 inch” industrials are closer to 55 because the factory used 140cm instead of exactly 56 inches

It's cool it's just most places this isn't a very good option...it would have to be a small room to cool good and if you need light and a fan in like a workshop or something you could buy a box fan and a brooder light and put a regular bulb in it and save 10 bucks

@stanleyjamestricesr.9091 Жыл бұрын

I am not very pleased with the Bell * Howell Socket Fan! The fan was installed in our master bathroom and did not provide us with any coolness! The light was sufficient for the space since there is an alternate light in the same space! I would not recommend this particular socket light to anyone! Typically, ceiling fans have a button that allows you to push air upward or downward. This was not an option and possibly the key to forcing down cool air…. On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest, I would rate this socket fan a 1. If not satisfied, the customer should have the option of returning this item within 10-14 days of purchase for a full refund!

That's really weird to avoid an otherwise good product because of one word in the commercial.
