I don't think that original is that old, but I could be wrong. Dan, do you have an exact date on that fan considering you can't see the switch housing?

the sears/emerson TOC is nice, definitely more powerful than the lasko version.

First of all, please dont quote the entire list of links in your reply.

I wouldnt call that GE fan a spinner, while it is top mount, it certainly doesnt have a spinner motor.

And as for the Hunter, I really dont know. Someone else might be able to date it from the tag. Brian? Adrian?

Pierce, I have to agree. The emerson versions have K-55's in them while the Lasko's have the underpowered spinner motors.

Let me make this clear: those Lasko fans are very good quality, and in fact have very good motors. It is my *opinion*that I have expressed in the past, considering the size/width and pitch of the blades, that the motors are slightly underpowered for the fan. I solve this problem by decreasing the blade pitch slightly in all of the Laskos I have/sell. Lasko also made some spinner fans with the same motor, these fans have different blades, and the motors work VERY well in those fans.

But an Emerson K55 (or GE or Fasco equivalent) will always be the better motor in any comparison, except possibly with a Hunter Original. That's a statement of opinion, but backed up by facts.

I've seen two of those fans. They have the TOC canopy and three speeds. It was a 42'' fan.

None of their spinners had the "palm-aire" canopy nor the TOC canopy. They all that that two-piece plastic canopy. You just posted a picture of one, white 48" with light, in my group yesterday.

what about the moss WF series? the housing doesn't spin like regular spinner fans, yet you call it a spinner anyway. That GE fan is almost the same as the WF series fans.

And I did see regular laskos with the TOC canopy, two of them in fact. They had that peice of plastic that covered the bearing, so they were laskos. Only their industrials and other similar spinner fans had that two-peice canopy, and most of the newer ones had that ugly palm-aire canopy. you obviously DON'T know EVERYTHING about fans. when I get pics Dan, don't be surprised.

Go ahead, Andrew, prove me wrong with pictures.

OR-- and I offer this option out of kindness, to save any humiliation on anyone's part (particularly yours)--

Read over what I said more carefully. Think about what you have said, and -here is the important part- think carefully before you open your mouth again. You'll realize none of your "magic Laskos", nor anything you've seen, contradict anything I've written. If you want me to explain it, I will, but you're bright enough to figure it out on your own.
