I was wondering when Footprint Vent Fans got started and are they more popular than ge vent fans? Probably the very early 1980s with manufacturers such as Ritz. I don't think they're more common than GEV fans, as GEV fans were more common.

G events are definitely much more popular I always assume that the footprint vent was supposed to be a more modern twist on it kind of like how the Delta ii vents were.
I always figured Ritz must be the original designer to it and then the imported Murray Feiss copies seem to make it the most main stream before the lower quality stuff started to reproduce it

I believe the last footprint vent ceiling fan was Litex Ellington, which was then re-designed to have Builder's Best vents, and moved to "Ellington" brand when Litex started "Ellington" brand. Though Ellington still seemed to have Close-Up hugger which was a footprint vent hugger even after Craftmade bought Ellington, and it was discontinued shortly afterwards. Also there is a footprint vent fan with a flywheel and pretzel brackets as shown in this video, too bad he just replaced the whole fan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mqNermEUt0

I don't think that the Close-Up had FPV when Craftmade bought Litex. That FPV fan with a flywheel is really cool. I wonder what brand it is? Although it's probably just a large spinner motor with a flywheel attached to it.

Remember when Jordan bought a GE vent Seasons only to get Panama vent instead? Also I did remember seeing a picture of Close-Up with footprint vent on Craftmade website. But then again, maybe they just used old photo.

I guess the only way to find out if Bala still sells an FPV fan would be to buy one, but I'm not going to shell out money just to find out.

Cool. I do like some of them but I prefer Ge vent Ceiling fans. At least they don't have the evil eyes.
