Bearings on the NIB fan are perfect, long spin-down and no noise. This one doesn't seem to have any warm-up differences either, it runs the same no matter what.

It was probably me . . . I consider any ceiling fan with metal blades to be industrial/commercial unless the blades are metal for a decorative purpose. You're a bad influence. Hehe! A lot of people still call most of fans with a vertical ornate housing ''Emperor'' even if they are not SMC and Emerson Universal Series are often called ''Blender Fan''. Industrial is a little bit different. I thought about calling them this way before this forum even existed plus some companies such as Encon and Westinghouse literally called them like this.

Well, I was something like 12 years old! There were no other vintage ceiling fan resources on the internet, and I had to name them SOMETHING. Pretty cool that a lot of the names are still being used almost 20 years later, especially "blenderfan" which has NOTHING to do with what ANY manufacturer called it.

Bet that was a pretty exciting find! One of my favorite SMCs.
