I haven't been posting much here recently because I'm busy with school, but here are a few fans I've bought so far this year. Got another 200J back in January, the day before picking up my Original I saw this one on FB marketplace and couldn't pass it up since it was only a block from my house and the price was reasonable. Attachment DeletedDuracraft DT-50 in hunter green Attachment DeletedI believe these oscillators predate the Holmes Blizzard line. The blades are actually dark blue, but the lighting isn't good.

Nice finds. I was given one of those Duracrafts at Fan Fest this year. Mine is gray though with green blades.
Those Holmes fans came out in the 90s I think. I remember seeing those recently at Walmart under the Sunbeam name. Plus back in summer 06 they had Holmes in orange, green, etc.

Here's a few to kick off the summer: Robbins & Meyers Breeze All Attachment DeletedI've wanted one of these 12" Holmes stand fans for years, and I finally got one. However, the oscillator does not work. Attachment DeletedFinally, a 16" desk fan branded "Daytron" I don't know who this is made by, but I like the classic 90's design. Attachment Deleted |

Nice finds. The daytron is interesting. It kind of reminds me of an Advantage or Aries branded fan with those vents in the badge. But usually the vents would be facing down instead of up.
Those little Holmes peds are neat, they came in other colors too.
That R&M is very nice, I bet it's quiet!

I saw one of those Holmes fans at the Habitat not too long ago, I passed it up because they wanted 20 dollars for it.. If it were one of the more exotic colors, I probably would have gotten it..
The Daytron fan is quite odd.. I do wonder if that was intended to be a knockoff brand.. It is reasonable quality?

I haven't used it much yet, it's definitely quieter than a box fan on high, but louder than most desk fans. I'm not sure how I feel about the Daytron yet, the grille vents reminded me of a Windmere. |

Really like that R & M. The hassock fans of that era had beautiful design.

Those Tatung fans are pretty powerful..
Is the Hawaiian Breeze fan any good?

I have the 12" version as well, I feel like the 9" is just as powerful, it is currently at my grandparent's house so I can't do a side by side comparison at the moment.
