yes, it is metal and plastic structure, however the end result is very good, my goal was to get fuel economy on the highway consumption decreased by 50%. Now if you want a significant increase in power I would not recommend.

Yes this is a all metal fan single speed I consider this a quiet fan versus a plastic fan witch I consider to be junk. I hope this helps you I do like this fan it does move a lot of air for its size.

Plastic. They worked out pretty good for the cost, and they're holding up alright, but next time I'll just send the extra money and get the stainless blades.

The blades (both of them) are stainless steel as is the shaft connecting the blades to the underside rotor. All I can see, other than what I described above is plastic.

These blades are not reversible, if you need help locating fans that have reversible blades just let us know! :)

Yes, everything is metal. I have not seen any plastic parts on this machine.

Forgive me but the flapper housing may not be made of plastic, as I mentioned it was in my initial post. From the picture it appears to be metal. (My old vent fan's exhaust was made of plastic--I confused the two.)

No this fan has 5 plastic blades,but the wind that this fan puts out is so powerful you don't need metal blades. I would definitely buy this fan again. The low setting is all you need as the wind that comes out of this fan is really great and I have never even put this fan on the medium setting,and the high setting is just to much air coming out from this fan. I do not even have to use my Air Conditioner when I run this fan in the state of Florida. Saves on the Electric Bill which is. Big plus for this fan. Would buy this fan again when I need to buy a new one. Thank you.

No they are not metal. They are a hard composite plastic. They are very sturdy and sharp.

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

No rubber screws. I hoped they would, but they come with metal. However, the fans are very quiet unless I'm running something very intensive requiring max cooling. I'm very happy with them.

I wouldn't bother replacing the blades. I had two of these fans. They were great for moving air around until the blades snapped off while running at high speed. Thankfully the cage held them back and no one was injured. The garbage is the only place for them.

It is probably a strong plastic. Looks like gray metal. The most quiet fan and effective modern fan I have ever seen. If you are traditional you will not like it. I love it.

Blades are metal.. This fan is awesome, I haven't had a need to turn it past low... Medium and high put out a HUGE amount of air displacement.. Great buy all around.

As far as I can tell, they are plywood. They have a wood veneer (on one side) that's probably been attached with some sort of resin. The blades are hard & stiff, not like "just" plywood - so I'm figuring some resin or glue was used to wet the wood when it was put in a press to set the twist in the blade. No matter what they used to make the fan - they don't "look" like plastic (which is what I think you're worried about?)

Yes they can be there are screws that keep the fan blades attached to the actual fan. Hope this helps

The frame is metal; the blades and the blade housing are plastic. This fan is extremely loud, unless it is on low. Also, the piece that held the fan blades in place broke (also plastic), so I replaced it with one from an old fan that I had around that didn't work. That fixed the problem.
