It's been a while since I made bunch of my YouTube fan videos of themselves, so it's time for explaining about those of my mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection. However, all of them had their own stories per each of those, which I ended up got rid each of them for good (except for one of them which it simply lost). Without further ado, let me list all of those aforementioned mini ceiling fans that I'm referring to, right away.
1. Another Elitesat FC-08-50 500mm
First off, you may recognize this exact blue Elitesat mini ceiling fan which I featured bunch of times on my YouTube channel already, but I actually used to have another identical Elitesat mini ceiling fan, and that one was my very first mini ceiling fan that I ever purchased in my life back in 2008, followed by this one. It worked similarly as this one, except it was slightly less wobbly compared to this one too... It initially used to mount in the living room of that house (and so for this one), but then I decided to move it in two different bedrooms of that house (and so for this one too). However, during the mini renovation of my childhood house where I used to born in there, I accidently forgot about where I temporarily saved both of these while both of them were dismantled from the ceiling (including this one), therefore I lost that one, which means this one was the only one that remained until one of it's own original blades broke off and lost. I had no clue about how come if I accidently lost that particular one, but I also feel sad for not keeping that with me.
2. Extend 700mm
After I purchased both of those Elitesat mini ceiling fans, I also purchased this one. It was also my very first mini ceiling fan that was larger than 500mm, although the color of it was roughly the same (albeit it was brighter). It worked perfectly fine, and it generated averagely the same amount of air delivery as both of those Elitesats were, except it was slightly less. Everything about it was okay until I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my childhood house, right after I used to mount it in the living room of that house first... Due to the intense heat of the kitchen itself, it caused all of it's own blades broke off so easily by itself. So that was basically it, I wasn't even able to glue it's own brittle blades probably due to they simply lost right when they broke per each of them while it was operating, which I also ended up trashing it later on.
3. Meet 500mm
Well, after roughly 5 years since I purchased both of those Elitesats and Extend, I finally purchased my very first mini ceiling fan that wasn't in blue color, which was this one. It did generate fairly good amount of air thanks to slightly steeper blade pitch that it had compared to those of my aforementioned blue mini ceiling fans that I purchased a while before, except for that one hiccupping problem while it was hanging in the living room of that house. This problem literally lasted until one of it's own blades broke off by itself. Due to the weird state of it, there was no way to fix it which I ended up trashing it later on, except for one of it's own blades which I used it on that remaining Elitesat there in those times.
4. Sivicom FC-08-50 (SV-500) 500mm
Not too long after I purchased that Meet, I also purchased this one simply because of how different it looked compared to the average mini ceiling fans that were available on sale in those times. Although this one was cheaper than that Meet, it worked perfectly fine without hiccupping problems, and it generated reasonably good amount of air with it's own original white blades (it's because this was the old version of it, meanwhile for the newer versions have turquoise blades)... During those times in my childhood house, it initially used to mount in the living room of that house. However, after I moved out from that house, it eventually moved into one of the bedrooms (which used to be my bedroom of that house), until I decided to pluck it with me and mount it in the kitchen of my previous house, and then one of the family's relative's replaced it with the Oshaky in that exact room of my childhood house.
During those times in my previous house, it managed to last for approximately 6 years before it stopped working suddenly by itself. Well, after it stopped working specifically like so, I let my dad to take it down, but for some reason he decided to do so by passing it's own motor to the top part of the wood travers of the asbestos roof above that house's back porch, which caused the it's own motor housing got dented severely. Although I was able to salvage it's own original blades, but I was once used it as a horizontal windmill by removing some parts of it's own synchronous motor, except I used Jiamei blades on it. It was all that fun until a random squirrel that came from nowhere accidently dropped it while it was hanging, which caused all of the Jiamei blades that I equipped on it got destroyed to bunch of small mosaic pieces, right when it got impacted to the concrete. Due to the state of it after that exact accident, I ended up trashing the motor itself later on.
5. Bright-G FC-08-50 (BG-500) 500mm
Some of you may recognize this exact Bright-G mini ceiling fan that I purchased specifically back in 2015, which I mounted it in the back porch of my previous house along with my other mini ceiling fans that I used to mount in there. Judging by the classic style of it, it was a new old stock fan according to one of the online fellow fan enthusiasts... As for the fan itself, it worked perfectly fine and generated fairly good amount of air. However, instead of keeping it with me like the rest of my mini ceiling fans that I'm currently own, I decided to give it away for free to my vocational high school in order to install it in the canteen of that school (don't ask me about how come if I did so). However, some of the senior students didn't able to connect it's own cable properly, which they ended up trashing it instead in that location, including about how come if they also destroyed those blades too. 🤦♂️
6. Bright-G FD-10-70E 700mm
Believe or not, this one was purchased initially by my dad in order to mount this in his main workplace first until it's own original blades broke off (which for that case, in order to replace one of the Jiamei mini clip fans in there)... After all of it's own blades broke off, he was able to find another nearly identical blade set that perfectly fit of it by simply glued all of them on it. Then, he asked me in order to bring it home from his personal workplace, and I decided to mount it in the kitchen of my previous house in 2021. It worked just alright, except it used to have all of that squeaking and grinding noises while it's operating until I was able to fix it by oiling it's own synchronous motor. Everything about it was okay until the time where I moved out from there in 2023, I had to take it down even with it's own daily beater condition that it particularly had (because my mom always turned it on while she used to cook in there). After I moved out from there, I was once attempted to remove it's own brittle blades out from it (and so for cleaning it), but I ended up breaking them instead due to the difficulty of me tried to do so with all of it's own blades that he glued into it. Due to the horrible state that it specifically had, unfortunately I decided to trash it away.
Before I wrap up this article, here are two random fans that were once existed but then I got rid of each of them later on, except I didn't purchase both of these in the first place (though one of them wasn't even from my collection anyway). So, both of those fans were:
- Unknown black-red oldie 500mm : This one was originally purchased by my cousin back in ~2005 (if I guessed that right), and it used to mount in one of the bedrooms of my childhood house before he and his parents moved into his current house (including this fan by installing it on his bedroom). It lasted for approximately 7 years before it broke off and replaced by that 500mm Shukaku SKU MF-50, however I was once able to pluck it from his current house and use it as a display of my mini ceiling fan collection in my previous house, even if all of it's own red blades were lost already. Due to the fact it was broken since then, I just got rid of it right when I moved out from my previous house.
- Jiamei JM-590 700mm : This one was originally purchased by one of my family's relative's from my mom's side in early of 2016 in order to mount it inside my grandma's bedroom of my childhood house. After she was deceased in 2017, my dad eventually used this fan in his main workplace, in order to replace his HTC industrial ceiling fan with it a year later. It lasted for few years before it stopped working by itself. I was able to salvage it's own blades, but unfortunately he decided to trash the motor itself later on.
Well then, there you have it for those mini ceiling fans that were once existed on my collection, but then I had to get rid each of them for good due to each of the reasons that I already mentioned above (except for one of them, which it was simply lost). If you have your own good old memories regarding to this particular topic, feel free to share your own story in the comments section if your memory serves it right. That's it for what I could particularly say about this particular topic, and as always, thanks for reading this exact article.
