What you are buying is lifespan and build: aluminium blades that stay rigid at speed and do not become brittle, a metal body that survives knocks, and a copper motor that tolerates running all day. That maths works for a business where a failed fan means discomfort for customers, or for a household that would rather buy once. It does not work if the fan will run an hour a day in a bedroom — a plastic-bodied five-blade model is the sensible choice there. Practical notes: metal blades are unforgiving, so keep the grill secure and children away; check the base is stable on uneven floors; and wipe the blades monthly, since dust on metal blades reduces airflow just as much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the plastic-bodied 16-inch fans in the range, this costs several times more and is built to last years of daily commercial use rather than to move more air. Compared with the 18-inch stand fan, that covers a larger area at lower cost with a plastic body. Against a wall fan, this can be repositioned. Against an industrial drum fan, this is quieter and adjustable but moves less air.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it worth several times the price of a plastic fan?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf it will run all day in a business, or you would rather buy once, yes — you are paying for lifespan and build, not extra airflow. For an hour a day in a bedroom, a plastic five-blade fan is the sensible choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo aluminium blades move more air?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey stay rigid at speed and do not flex or go brittle, which helps consistency and longevity.
