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.

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?
- Admiral Patrick ( @ptz@dubvee.org ) English8•1 year ago
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?
- Admiral Patrick ( @ptz@dubvee.org ) English3•1 year ago
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?
- Admiral Patrick ( @ptz@dubvee.org ) English9•1 year ago
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
