It's got a spinner motor, but Dan Neuman has tested it on YouTube and he said it's pretty good, has a big motor.Yes I think it was meant to compete with the Original, but doesn't exactly compare to it. I own a 2016 Original with a 212x20 motor in it, and it's pretty powerful. I'd like to test one of these, but just can't justify spending nearly $400 on it for that purpose.

I loved the concept, there hasn't been an Original competitor for so long nor was there really a market for one. They took a gamble with this one which was awesome. And y'all know I LOVE Kichler, I've worked with more new products from them over a short period than anyone else and they're so good. But the Fryst was already discontinued this year, if anybody wants one they're on clearance for as low as $130.

That's too bad it's already discontinued. I know Rejuvenation makes a similar fan, but it's a GE vent fan that has a big spinner motor and cast iron housing, not sure if it still is made.

Seems under-powered, the website says it pushes around 6,000 CFM and doesn't even break 200 RPM.. I'm sure it's a well made fan, but I wouldn't pay $130, much less $400, for that performance..

I may try and get one, but it'd have to be as good of a deal as I got on my $40 Kichler outdoor fan I got 2 years ago on clearance.

A 4 blade version of that fan would look pretty timeless in my opinion, even if they only had it in brushed nickel and aged bronze or oil rubbed bronze.
