Fans in the trash :(

[Hunter Summer Breeze]

Just today I spotted 2 ceiling fans in the trash. One was brass and had a four arm lightkit probably 1980s. I couldn't see it well because it had been disassembled and was lying in a box.

But what I REALLY wish I could have picked up was a white Hunter Summer Breeze that is just down the road from me, it is just laying in the sand oddly enough not near a house. Almost like someone just threw it out the window there and drove on.

Would you guys like these? The first one is in town and I don't know if it will be gone in the morning, but the Hunter I could get now. Trash pickup is tomorrow.

I really want the Hunter for myself I always liked the Summer Breeze model but my wife would kill me! Unless I had a very good reason like hang it in our room. If it works.

Do you guys think they are worth picking up? I've always been unsure because they never usuall have the hanging stuff with them. Idiots!

Why not jsut pick them up? Summer Breezes arent collectible but, hey, it's free. The other one could have been interesting. Just toss it in a trunk.

I always pick up *any* free fans the parts are always useful.

And please post your name, not a fan model name, in the "name" slot.

The brass one was gone this afternoon, I should have picked it all up when I drove by this morning.

Summer Breeze is still there our trash collection comes in the morning. I imagine it runs, they are guarranteed for a lifetime, right? The blades might need work. Not sure if they are all there. I assume it is a 80s/90s fan?

The older ones had 20 and 25 year warranties, I dont know if you have to show proof of purchase or if your address has to match those on the registration card. Sometimes they can be real anal about such things. If you can get by all of those little things the warranties still should be good.


I never liked the Summer Breeze. For an inexpensive (recent) import fan it's quite good quality, I just dont like them. I come across them all the time, they sell for $25-40 at Habitat. I do look for the older ones-- 48", old style switch housing, etc.
