Types Of Ceiling Fans I Don't Like

 

Anything manufactured today not including the Hunter Original, some Tat ceiling fans, and Dayton industrials.

Do I Collect Ceiling Fans: Yes Why: The same reason people collect objects, such as old bottles, dirt from different parts of the earth, coins, money, antiques, and who knows what else. It's called a fascination.

 

Why Do I Have A Ceiling Fan Website?

 

To join all ceiling fan collectors from around the world to one place. Also to take a look back on the history on household and industrial ceiling fans and how much ceiling fans have changed since the 1970s.

 

Ceiling Fans From The 1970s to the mid 1980s

 

Casablanca is the company that lead ceiling fans to become more mainstream on the market, and of course that's when imported companies became big. By the mid 1980s, almost every household in America had ceiling fans installed. The 1980s was the best decade, for allot of things such as, Ceiling Fans, Electronics, Vehicles, Video Game Systems, and of course who can't forget the music of that decade, New Wave, Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal, Hi Energy, Rap, House (Late 1980s). Don't forget the movies with great soundtracks. The 1980s was the beginning of allot of things such as, styles of clothing, the beginning of different formats and styles of music that are still in production today. Products prior to the 1990s were made to last, and if broken, were to be repaired, unlike today products are made out of very cheap material such as plastic and tuna can metal and costs the same to purchase, and if broken, meant to be thrown away. Ceiling fans today are much different, as the styles changed, which now people now go for. Allot of ceiling fans today are made to look like something other than a ceiling fan, for instance, UFO, Flying Saucer or Fern Plant, just to name a few examples. Normal imported ceiling fans today are junk, made out of very cheap material, and you will be lucky to get a few years use out of them before the bearings seize up or the motors go on them. There are still a few companies that manufacture high quality ceiling fans, such as Casablanca, Hunter and a few others, but today's styles and designs. We all know times were much different back in the 1970s and 80s.
