nah ive never thrown anything into my fans, for that reason too in fear of them breaking, especially because for our older fans parts are very hard to find.

Speaking of throwing things in fans, my friend got a hotel room with a Hunter Summer Breeze Plus in it. little to say there was beer involved, someone threw paper plates and a pillow into it and one of the blades snapped off. then a matress got thrown down the stairs, and that was my sat night in a nutshell LOL Friends dont let friends drink and use ceiling fans.

I remember one time I threw some paper balls and one of my stuff animals at my Litex and all it did was hit it that's about it. Nothing snapped off and I guess my hugger was tough to tolerate that.

I've never messed with the crappy fans, if I have any I don't want, I sell them. BTW, Windmere is still in business making portable fans. I don't know about ceiling fans, the only ones I ever saw were Windmere 42" huggers. When I was very young and growing up in New Jersey, I would always look at the mid-week drugstore-type flyers and cut out the fan pictures. Back then, if memory serves me right, the stores in question were Genovese (now Eckerd), Caldor (now extinct), Woolwoorth's (now operating only in Australia), Bradlees (now extinct), Ames (now extinct), Channel (only NJ, and now extinct), Rickel (only NJ, and now extinct), and K-Mart (in limbo as to whether or not it actually exists). I remember looking for box fans, like the regular old 20" 5-blade 3-speed white deal-i-o's. In the mid-to-late 1990's, many of the companies (first Lasko, then Lakewood, then Holmes, then on and on) started phasing out the old boxy designs and went with more rounded, streamlined looks. Instead of the old moose-antler blades, they went with "more aerodynamic" styles. I liked the older look, so I cut out all those pictures. I also looked at the oscillating desk fans, and I remember seeing a lot of Galaxy and Windmere models. Now, by my recollection, the ceiling fans consisted almost exclusively of three specific and distinct styles: 1) 42" and 52" UGLY ASS 4-blade huggers with the 3-light fixture, similar to the Hampton Bay "Chatham" 2) 42" spinners, looking identical in motor vent style to the original Hampton Bay "Grayton"-- and like a Grayton, the blades mounted to the bottom of the motor, as opposed to the top which is the standard with spinnersand 3) 52" 5-blade GE-vent fans, most of them with exceedingly cheap stamped-metal paper-thin irons that you typically see only a top-mounting 4-blade spinner. This fan, cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300078939938, most closely shows what I'm talking about--although the irons are much nicer When I lived in South Carolina in the late 80's I remember cutting a similar thing lol. I used to cut out of BigLots, Revco, Wal Mart and Roses flyers and stuck the fan pics in a note book. Have no idea where that book went. Happy days!! I throw sock and things at the fan but I'd never throw anything that would break it. That's just bloody stupid!!

I enjoy drawing the faces of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, etc., on napkins and feeding them into my whole-house fan. My attic must be littered with them by now.
But I don't throw stuff in ceiling fans.

When I was little, I used to throw pretzels and various other food items in my fan. I later replaced that fan with a spinner motor Hunter, and sold the other said ceiling fan at a garage sale for like 5 bucks. I never bent the blades on it, though. It was actually in pretty good shape.
