Fun fact, they are significantly worse at moving air if they're dirty
I don’t run it for it’s ability to move air.
I run mine specifically so I can spend an hour trying to focus on a single fanblade to see if I can keep track of it
So true 😂
I have gotten in a rhythm of cleaning the blades each spring/winter when I stop it long enough to reverse the direction.
You learned that the hard way?
Yep. Because one time I stopped the fan, didn't clean the dust, reversed it, and set it to high. Dust flew everywhere. At least it was a learning experience lol.
You learned you had a self-cleaning fan, so you decided to clean it every time?
Lol! If I didn't have crazy allergies, I'd let the dust fly. Unfortunately, no such thing as a free meal.
You leave your fan running all day? Like you leave it running when you aren't even there?
Literally never turn it off. But it helps circulate the A/C for the dogs, so it's not uselessly blowing air around when I'm not there to feel it.
I also work from home, so it's less wasteful than it sounds. Any extra carbon emissions from running that ~50 watts is more than offset by me not commuting/sitting in traffic every day.
Fair enough, yeah that makes sense. 50 Watts isn't all that much
