The little Torcan is so cute! Yep that other little boxer looks like an Eskimo. The SUPER picture seems to be mirrored, so it's probably inclined to look weird. I see you got used to Toshibas in this thread. That would make sense for the Super because everything is reversed from the order it's supposed to be. The speed buttons and the brand logo too. |

Oh yes, I forgot to go back and mention that gorgeous Toshiba.

Oh yes, I forgot to go back and mention that gorgeous Toshiba. I thought it was because you were like ''Ah yes another Toshiba. They grow on trees in Quebec so there's nothing to be impressed of''. Ahaha! That's nothing. Imagine how it is in Japan where they are from. Even Thailand and Egypt have a great diversity of Toshibas. Here I've only see models with theses style of blades and it's always the same exact blue. I never saw the Crystal Zephyr version. |

That’s in remarkable condition for its age! We have this brand here too, nothing spectacular. They still sell these in the stores here, or at least they used to not that long ago. A common problem with these is people tend to report the motors start to fail after only a few years. But while they’re working I’ve heard they’re ridiculously powerful. That’s a strange looking piece, never heard of that brand before. |

I'm starting to think that the reason that people complain about the motor in Seabreeze Turbo-Aire stops working is because dust gets caught near the motor and affects it but also because the bearings start to need oil. It' probably a combination of the two. Theses fans are not made like regular fans at all and can be difficult to disassemble for some people. I've been able to disassembled mine quite easily to clean it. They are extremely powerful and the airflow on low feels like the airflow of regular fans on high. It's a residential high velocity fan that is actually quite. It's probably the quietest fan with the high velocity grade. I got one in April 2013 in very good condition for a very low price. ada19851985.proboards.com/thread/7625/seabreeze-turbo-aire-30-cm |

Most people don't bother to take things apart and clean or oil them anymore. I'd like to get some some day, but I don't want to spend the money on a new one. If one shows up at a flea market or something, I'd definitely get it. |

I have a 30 CM version of this, but its green. This is one of the better replicas I’ve seen. Do these move a good amount of air? The grills is so thick on those, how does the air even get through that? I like this one, good price too. This has the really tight grill also, are there different safety standards in Canada which require that? |

From the late 1970's to late 1990's, grills on fans were finger-proof. They were previously too spaced and sometimes the spokes were flexible. The air still passes without any problem. It's funny how everyone always worry about the air not passing.
Those gray Windmere have the same grills in the States too from what I've seen.

Another one with the grills so thick! I've never heard of that brand before either, its probably just a cheap store brand from somewhere in China. Those have clear blades? That's a neat design. I've seen some SMC desk fans with that same pointy blade set. Did SMC and Super have any connections? Not fond of electronically controlled fans. Prone to failure... That is one interesting exhaust fan. Would that be permanently mounted in a wall or ceiling? |

The grills of theses Windmere are the same in the States.
Yes, Seabreeze Cool-Sweep have clean blades. The first one in the early 1970's had two metal blades.
It's possible that Super used SMC parts or the other way around. Theses are regular blades for a Super of that age.
That Vent-Axia fan just like Xpelair exhaust fans would be mounted in a wall or in a window.

I just looked it up on the Google and saw that some of the Windmere fans here are in fact like that. I think Holmes made fans with that style grill for a period as well.
