I have recently looked at replacing some air movers, due to the way drying has evolved over the last few years, it means using the old snail fans is not the way to go, they don't blow as much and they use way more power. I see the big 3 , which I consider dryair,ie gale force, phoenix and drieaz. they are wanting over $400 bucks for an axial airmover these days. I am just wondering how and why these cost way more money to make than a plain ole snail fan that cost $225 or in some cases less, I personally think the axials should be less money, they look more simple and easier to put together. air movers I think are likely the least profitable item for a supplier so its likely not them with the excessive markup its the manufacturer. anyone else noticed this and wondered WTF. $400 bucks a pop is just too damn much money for a glorified fan, I will buy used before I pay that.
