Really liked this fan.  Robust and practical.  But unfortunately it did not last beyond 6-7 years--just died all of a sudden, and it wasn't the fuse.  Not Heavy Duty after all, and it wasn't used excessively either.  I was told it was out of warranty so I am SOL, and they will give me 30% off on a replacement.  I hope the replacement one will last longer than the previous one.  It is not a cheap fan.  

In my decades of living, I've never had a fan die on me like this one--I've had fans that have lasted decades, including one old Vornado (I have 4 other Vornados too).  All my other fans that I've ever purchased are still running.  My Aunts in Taiwan have had fans that lasted 60-to-70 years of hard continuous use.  

They just don't make them like they used to or have long warranties.   Not a good value proposition.
