Westinghouse 16” Pedestal Fan | Unboxing

Welp, I didn't think this video would end up being so long, but hopefully it's interesting enough! I recently saw a handful of new fan models for sale at Walmart, and this particular one caught my eye, a Westinghouse 16" oscillating pedestal fan. Five transparent blue blades on what appeared to be a basic pedestal fan... usually such features are reserved for more expensive DC fans nowadays. Westinghouse hasn't manufactured their own fans in well over 50 years, but who knew their name would return to fans once again? Of course, these new "Westinghouse" fans aren't remotely close to the true, legendary Westinghouse fans of the past. As for this fan, it's about what I expected from a new fan. Rather mediocre build and passable performance, but I do like the design of it. Thanks for watching!

120VAC 60Hz 0.375A 45W

It's very attractive, the black and blue💙 it has those extra touches that make it look nicer

[marlalandry]

This is the best fan I ever bought and I have had alot. The base is sturdy and I find the 5 blades give more circulation air flow. 5 stars.

Those blue transparent blades are so neat

[rsofficial]

That’s kind of neat to see a new fan with transparent blue blades. Just wish they looked more like the ones on the old Lasko/Galaxy fans.

When you put your camera up to the blades it sounded like a one of those air planes with propellers😆

So if you ever get around to taking the thing apart to lubricate it take some video I'd be interested in seeing what kind of bearings they're using.

I've always wanted to buy these fans but as I live in Brazil I don't know where to buy them (in this case which site) but they are beautiful in my opinion and much better than some here, congratulations for the video.. !

I almost got myself one of these but I decided to not get it because I really didn’t want to spend more money on another fan. This particular model looks to be made by the same company that makes Bionaire, Holmes, and Sunbeam fans. Last year Walmart sold Sunbeam fans similar to this one in Blue, Pink, and Green but the blades weren’t transparent.

Great video of the Westing house Pedestal fan! I bought a cheap Mainstay pedestal fan rap around switch for my aunt for that Super pedestal fan I have. It looks similar to a Walmart made fan like the Mainstays but better built. A lot of Five blade fans have that really cool wizzing sound. As u said it’s not a bad fan.

Are basic home pedestal fans that boring in Canada & the States? Seems like US & Canadian fan collectors tend to freak out whenever they see a basic house fan that have non monochromatic colours & more than 3 blades. It's interesting how in some markets manufacturers offer electric fans that are colorful & bright, and in other markets they only chug out fans that are all white

The blue blades are really cool. I just purchased a 12" floor fan from Ventisol that has yellow blades. I had never heard of that brand so I did a bit of research on their website. I feel it was a great purchase. It has a ball bearing motor that is guaranteed for 5 years! I have never seen anything like that. It moves 1560 cfm, which is great for a bedroom. It came out of the box ready to go and was totally balanced. It also has a long spin down time. For what I received I thought it was a good price at $45 US. Your knowledge and expertise of fans is amazing and I am wondering if you have had any experience with this brand. I can't find anyone on youtube that has a video about this particular fan. Thanks for all of your cool and informative vudeos!

I have no idea why keeping the 'Westinghouse' name alone even though Westinghouse Appliances division was acquired by White Consolidated Industries (WCI) and now known as 'White-Westinghouse'. Might this fan I called the 'Westinghouse' alone or the 'White Westinghouse'.
Despite that naming issues, I would to compete it with your vintage Mastercraft stand fan!

Not bad looking, I like the blue blades. It vaguely reminds me of the Rowenta fans, just vaguely. I have not seen any of these at Walmart here in the United States, or portable fans under the Westinghouse name here. I do remember we got a Duracraft/Honeywell 12" pedestal with the 3 skinny blades under that name, and Kmart used to sell White Westinghouse which I think was their exclusive brand which were mainly rebadged Duracrafts and SMCs.

I think many fans start with high, because it helps start the fan better. Also that five blades seems to have that whirring similar to my GE five blade desk fan, must be a characteristic of 5 blades. LOL

Kalo di Indonesia ini mereknya Pisces. Warna dan bentuk baling-balingnya persis banget mas. Dayanya juga. Mungkin pabriknya sama di Chinanya.

[FBG_Cory]

I've seen these at Walmart once but not since then!

[SUBSCRIBEtoSHAHRIYAR]

It’s been 6 months due to the Canadian cold I haven’t used my fan. Put it on today and forgot how to turn it on. 15:00 helped me turn it on haha just realized it was right there in front of me the whole time Lmao

[AMDRADEONRUBY]

I have the 18 inches Westinghouse fan with remote and yeah the guards and the rear looks suspicious personally I prefer fans with the clips on the front guard and not on the rear one nice fan

[angelasuccurro]

I bought one and I can’t get the pole out or figure it out. Maybe the actual pole is missing. Need help. lol

[mrjumaatsamian]

It looks like holmes and sunbeam stand fan and sunbeam is a brand from Canada


And the blade colour is like Hatsune Miku hair colour

[kssvenjardin]

I like that fan we dont have that in philippines but the blades are common.
