Continued from the other thread . . . Which do you prefer? Airmaster: youtu.be/m5EFq4AOA2sNutone Proline: youtu.be/2M5LodLzYU0Or other? if you vote other, you MUST reply with a specific fan choice that I either have or can obtain easily. |

So far there's no hope for the Airmaster!

I'm not gonna help the Autumaire. I prefer the NuTone. It's brown like you wanted at first I believe and a four blader often wins over a three blader for me. That's my taste. How did you acquired the NuTone?
I would encourage to install a quiet three or four speed control but in this kind of room it might not be a problem at all to have a buzz and it seems this one is particularly quiet for a spinner on a variable speed control.

As much as I like the Autumaire, I'm going to have to say the NuTone as well...

It's pretty much silent. It buzzes EVER SO SLIGHTLY but the buzz cant even be heard over the sound of air moving, much less all the other buzzing in the room. I checked a few different 4 speed controls and none of them went slow enough on low. Maybe I'll make a video of that. |

I'm surprised, usually theses control makes fans spins quite slow on their lowest setting even on a fan of that size. |

Moreso when it's a real powerful motor, or you have two or more fans on the same control.

That's a variable speed control, not a four speed control.

You know what's interesting, is it SHOULD be exactly the same speed at the beginning of BOTH Autumaire videos. It's the same control on the lowest setting. Sometimes if other loads are on the same circuit it can affect the low speed of a variable speed control, but the only other things on this circuit are a 24v transformer and a 120v relay. Maybe the bearings loosened up with time?

Maybe the bearings loosened up with time? Well that was a huge difference in speeds between the two videos considering there's almost nothing on that circuit. It really looked like they were not even on the same speed at all. I sometimes noticed some very slight differences on certain fans on their lowest setting but nothing like that. Sometimes I even wonder if it's not just an illusion since it's barely noticeable. A person not into fans would not notice it. |

I didnt notice the difference until you pointed it out, but in hindsight it is very drastic.
I'm going to go with, the bearings freed up as the fan ran for longer.
