I have that same Kmart K223. Only mine has a Westinghouse motor.

These are a bit lower quality compared to the rigid Galaxy and Lasko translucent colored fans.

I had a 1991-92 model, but it died because people in my family don't even take care of it. I am pissed off because these were really tough built fans! they last longer and more reliable than the shit they make today. They need to get their act together and stop caring about the money and bring a little bit of quality.

Are you going to keep it?

The k mart fans model number is "K - 223". Probably replaced the "P" for the "K" just to indicate it's from k mart. The first generation of these fans are from the 70s. with the second gen being the 80s and of course the third generation being around at the 90s. Maybe you should do a comparison of all 3 as no one had ever done that before. Also it's cool you finally got to see Tory the fan man in person as i've been watching both of your channels over the years.

What a very unique model. Looks great and deserves to be out in the open where it can be seen as it operates. The bucket full mechanism is something else though that makes this hard to use. I believe it may be some type of pressure switch as the air pressure betweens the bucket and the shut off switch increases its saposted to shut it off. However based on your test with it and seeing it do nothing to shut it off, this auto shut off mechanism has likely failed and a new system may be in order unfortunately. I think this type of mechanism was prone to fail on these units.

Awesome fan! I do want one to add to my collection but I am afraid they've gotten scarce. Good find!

If I could meet up with you, I'll give you a good quality vintage lawn mower. You've complained about not being able to find a good quality lawn mower and the modern one you have is prone to lots of failures. Are only recalls seeing three first generation Lakewood box fans one of them I'm unsure if it is plastic or metal in terms of blade material. The first one I remembered seeing was a top of the line Lakewood box fan in burnt orange that was at my middle school in the maintenance room that was the one I could not tell the blade material of. The second one I seen was a JCPenney branded one with a yellow square cabinet. This fan was located at a tractor museum. That museum had several notable fans including a transition model 200i with a braced blade. 2nd gen Kmart K223 box fan. A 1960s Lasko box fan a mid-2000s waterworks box fan with the five wing blade. The last one was a orange Lakewood s223 that was located in a horse barn at my county Fair. I was actually able to obtain this fan which was awesome because I first remembered seeing it several years ago and for like 2 years the fan was missing. My apologies if my grammar is incorrect it is really late at night and I'm about to go to bed.

Massey is an actual Chinese company and OEM, it's not a Walmart store brand. It has a website too. I think it rebranded itself PMX, then reverted to Massey and now it seems to have disappeared. But some of the knockoffs still live on. One of the more well known ones was sold at Big Lots under its Climate Keeper store brand. There was also one at Christmas Tree Shops (CTS, now defunct) under Nantucket Breeze, Ocean State Job Lot under Penguin, and Target under RE. Weird cord with the white stripe, looks like a cord for a television or stereo receiver.

That's awesome you finally got one. Looks a lot like the one I have from 1974.

Blade malfunctioned flew off killed papa

When I got my Lasko Galaxy 12” model, as I was cleaning the blade, I noticed that there was some sort of thin sheen of stuff that just wouldn’t come off, just like you showed. I wonder if that is some sort of reaction in the plastic or something that comes with age.

Mine stopped working years ago I bought it new that was before. I knew they had heat fuses.😢

When is the fan meet is it at fanimation? I was there once years ago.

Cool Fan

glad you was able to get that one from torythefanman i like the startup sound it also bro i enjoyed the video

I saw one of these at an estate sale and it was a bit faded and the low med high off badge was different.

This came from a flea market that's 2 hours away, I only get to it once a year usually. It is the biggest one I've ever been to. I had gone through 75% of it and found nothing. Just as I thought it would be a bust, I came across a booth with an acre full of junk that borderline looked like a landfill. It was so overwhelming I had to walk through three times to make sure I didn't miss anything. There were at least a dozen fans, all good and some rare ones, but many that we either had or were too far beyond repairing. On the third walkthrough, I saw this and an SMC TH-12 together under a table. The cord on this was sprawled out across the gravel and people were walking over it. I would've taken a picture but I didn't want to risk getting kicked out because I was not leaving without those fans. I brought them to the front to where there were two old guys running the thing. I asked how much, the first guy says $10 each. Outrageous. I asked $10 for the two which was still outrageous, and the guy gave me an attitude and says I had to check with the other guy who was talking to someone else. I waited for the other guy, and when he was done, without me asking, he told me $5 each. Perfect. (Oh yeah, and the first guy overheard that and scolded him for giving me a discount LOL.) I need to know who made these things as much as you need to know how to fix a warped plastic blade. These and the Duracrafts were the first fans I ever saw and are fully responsible for getting me started. It was tough giving this and the gray one away. Maybe you know someone with a blue Lakewood or black Hampton Bay HV for trade.

I'm surprised that this one is powerfuler because that Polaris box fan I have with the GE blade that's almost the same as this stinks. I think I am going to need to attend that auction.

I got one of these from a local dollar store that closed down. It had a cracked blade, so I took the broken blades off and replaced them with a metal blade set, effectively converting it into a pseudo P-23. Been working well for years.

feeean😂

I absolutely love that start-up sound definitely my favorites I can't wait to see more videos of this fan soon such as cleaning and servicing and balancing the blades soon bro

Compressor is a Tecumseh AE just like the Carrier Siesta and the White Westinghouse air conditioner. I can't imagine how the compressor mounts were damaged like that but sure enough it still works perfectly sans the fan motor.

It's fascinating to witness the evolution of ideas in real-time. This thread is a dynamic ecosystem of thought.🐱

How to block ur own house phone number

Oh wow that filter cleaning looks so easy!! Thank you for making this video!

Ah now i know who made these because we got badgeless and brand-name less too in Canada sold at Maxi and Cie Maxi and Loblaws in Quebec back in 99 i think with the same triangle near the speed buttons

As a beginner HAM Radio geek, this just tickles my brain in such a way that I immediately want to seek out one of these so I can mess with it.

Who’s worse, in your opinion? GE or Bell South?

10:30 me neither we had one from idect and its cr@p so we switched to a different carrier verizon and a vtech set the iconic one

I would certainly prefer the weather radios with the battery option as they can be taken to place to place without outlets and can function during a power failure

This reminded me of watching the original Flight of the Phoenix engine start sequence. They had a limited number of shotgun cartridges to start the engine. You guys should look it up on UA-cam...

My grandad has an 16" stand fan from cool breeze from 1988. I found it at yard sale for him a couple of years ago and except for being high hour the bearings are like in new shape. I did service it before I gave it to so hopefully it last and is way better then modern lasko he had. Calling the lasko a fan was to kind of word in my opinion as it moved no air and was very loud.

I agree with the length about the length of the cord it is ridiculous… And don’t mind these people complaining about you complaining I swear, under my breath and frigging and craggibg all the time when I’m working on something like this.

Does anybody have any idea where to get that switch control knob? I’ve tried several replacement knobs, but the set screw is always opposite the dial so it’s the opposite of the one that was originally on this fan.

I got the same plastic cap in the middle of the cage but there's no writing on it

Definitely a good vintage fan for bring only 20 years old bro the bearings are in good shape the spin down time is super long and I like the startup sound on high speed can’t wait to see you do a service video on it soon I enjoyed the video

Once the blades start to turn taking my spout and drown it in oil

The fan does have 2 spots where we can put oil on top.

Iowa pine tree? So you live in Iowa? 15:51

It feels like most fan collectors have experienced a cool breeze fan in their childhood. I'm still looking for that 12" one that you have.

I'm sure if you took the back cover off the motor, you would see a date code and other information. I have a 16-inch oscillating table fan, which I believe is more like an 18-inch homeline model. When I was recently servicing it, I found the date code on the motor toward the front. I think it's somewhere around 1951, so it's quite old. It's still working amazingly well for its age, which definitely shows that the old stuff that wasn't made in China was built to last.

ithere is one of these on facebook , good you made video on it deciding if i should get it

the design of these fans seems to be so common among late 80s/early 2000s. There seem to be a lot of 16 inch fans with that exact same base from all over the place. I remember the earlier ones from the early 90s/late 80s had 65w motors.

I like it

Glad you got this 16" Cool breeze table fan to your collection I can't wait to see the cleaning and servicing project video coming soon bro

Cool fan awesome video

Looks like a great collection fan not even yelling
