I saw this video before, and was pleased. I don't understand why they dont just charge at the fan with the sledge the whole time Very entertaining video. I especially like when they break and blowtorch the lights!

I'm surprised and disappointed you would support fan destruction regardless of the fan.

I don't mind cheap fans being destroyed, but I would never destroy cheap fans myself for few reasons. For example. If I want to install a fan in a shed, I would install a cheap one because I don't want high quality fans to be destroyed with the shed.

I'm surprised and disappointed you would support fan destruction regardless of the fan. What's really sad here is that we destroy these fans because they're low quality. In other words, it's their cheapness that bothers me and not their inevitable destruction. Think of it this way, Wal-Mart buys a fan from China for $5.00. They in turn sell it to the customer for about $20.00. Wal-Mart's objective is to make money (hence the huge price increase) so they buy the cheapest quality fans possible. This is a strategic plan because if the average Joe buys one of these cheap fans, he install it and, it's going break in a year. So, he buys another one, and the cycle goes on. Now guess what happens to these fans? They're now in the garbage and it's going to end up being smashed in a landfill regardless. Companies like Wal-Mart like it this way because people buy their cheap crap, and when it breaks and/or goes out of style, they have to buy more of their cheap crap to replace it. So what the guy in the video and Daniel are doing really isn't sad in itself, it's the fact that we've come to this level of cheapness in the first place.

Sorta like what Hunter and other brand names do nowadays.. Quality is the same as store brands.. Slap their tag on it, sell it for more than the same fan labeled Hampton Bay, just because people still think Hunter is better..
It's true what you are saying.. Make them only last a short while, so people will return and buy another.. This isn't something new.. This has been going on, say maybe 20+ more years now.. That's one reason why anything like the Original is 10 times more the price.. It will last muuuuuch longer..

In the documentary "The Light Bulb Conspiracy", they talk about how light bulb manufacturers intentionally make weak filaments so people buy have to more bulbs. For fans though, this only started in the past 12-years. Before it used to be that if something broke (flywheel, pull chain, blade bracket, capacitor or electronics) you would try every possible method of repair to get it working again. Nowadays, you can just buy a new "better" looking Hunter for half the cost of repair.

Nowadays, you can just buy a new "better" looking Hunter for half the cost of repair. Ceiling fans started getting noticeably cheap going back into the early 1990s.. Much thinner blades, made out of particle board.. Tuna can motor housings, Etc. Recycling started in the 1988.. And technically it started around that time.. I remember my mother buying me a five blade Hampton Bay Landmark in 1990.. We moved out of that house in 1991, when my mother got a divorce.. He moved out and we moved back in, in early 1993, and around that time the bearings started to seize up.. It got junked within 3 years of having it..
