All it takes is a few levels of distribution, and you have $138 motors. You could always buy a pallet, stock and store them, ship them, and have $89 motors, it's your money to invest as you see fit.
Kinda like the carpet cleaner that spends .90 a gal RTU for a quality time saving chem, or he might spend .45 a gal RTU for a hohum product, it's his money to invest as he sees in providing the greatest ROI.
How much does an Air mover make a Restoration guy over it's lifetime? It's just a tool, shop wisely and do your best to provide for your company.

greenie your logic sounds well in good until you realize that THEY ARE ALREADY STOCKING MOTORS TO PUT INTO THE NEW AIR MOVERS THEY ARE SELLING!!!!!! grab on off the shelf and ship it out, infact it makes it so they can get a better volume discount for the new air movers drieaz is building. the fact is they don't want people replacing motors they want people throwing away the air movers and buying new, ie don't work on it infact lets make it so it can't be fixed, just like the newer drieaz santana models with plastic drum fans that have to be cutt off the shaft, you wanna talk about profit and all, buts lets be real honest seriously, an air mover probably costs drieaz about $30 bucks to make, distributors are likely lucky to be making $30 buck on the sale, drieaz is the one making all the cash.
greenie you of all people if I know anything about you, don't support products that are hard and or impossible to work on, which also means little proprietary parts
steve g said:[quote="Bill Bruders":34550l37]Quite frankly this is just a Chinese knock off of the Dri-Eaz Airwolf. These types of fans utilize a backwards inclined blade to produce static pressure for applications such as bouncy castles. We supply several companies that produce these types of products with the airwolf and have for some 8 years. In our ASD class we show how to use the airwolf for hardwood floor drying. The higher pressure is effective in pushing air through the grooves in the wood. As for general carpet drying applications these fans are not as effective as other designs because they don't provide nearly the same volumes of air or velocity require to really speed up drying.
