How long dose the motor last on this fan before it dies if ran for 24/7 ????

Mine ran frequently for about nine years. Died two months before warranty ran, but they would not honor it as they go not from purchase date but from manufacture date.

Sorry. I got a defective fan and so returned it. Didn't run it for anywhere near that length of time.

The fan comes with a 1-year warranty. You do have to pay to have the item shipped back to the manufacturer, though.

There is an option to run the fan 24/7, but the ac part of it will shut down when it's reached the temperature desired on thermostat of the unit.

Well if it is over a year old and has been used weekly, it is at it's maximum life span. Mine lasted 1 1/2 years of light use and it quit. To my best recollection, the instruction manual said the motor is only good for 50 hours or so. Of course, nobody reads that fine print until they have problems. I stand by my rating of this blower as horrible. My first one only lasted 2 weeks and Lowes replaced it for free. Just not a good buy unless you're happy replacing it yearly for that price...

It depends on what setting. I most commonly refill mine every 24 hours. But there are settings that diffuse more slowly. I think it can run for 48 hours nearly. There are also settings that diffuse more quickly.I just read the other post. There are four fan speed settings and 4-5 mode settings including intermittent ones. Many more options than high and low. I just started mine to see how long it runs.

No. Save your money. I agree, my motor died also within 24 hours and I only used it sporadically. Wasn't the batteries either.

If it was working fine and then failed I'd get it replaced under warranty. Sounds like the motor or the fan itself is rubbing and now has completely failed - just a bad unit. But make sure nothing got inside it to bind it up. It should be under the 1 year warranty.

This fan is in it's second season in a small storage shed. During the summer it runs 18/7 as I have a thermostat on it. Shuts off when it cools. It is about the loudness of a ceiling exhaust fan. Best answer I can give.

We use these fans everyday, I have 3 of them. I've had one for over 3 years and still works perfectly!

Using fan by itself it probably last 20+ hours. Using both light and fan together. Probably 15 hours max.

The motor has a life span of 3000 hiurs. Kind of like a boat motor. You would have to run it a very long time to reach 3000 hours....

Got mine about a week ago and this thing blows canned air out of the water. The motor has a 5 year warranty on it and it's really the only part I would worry about breaking since it's really the only moving part

I don't know about the motor or the name, but I have had my fan for three years now and it still works. This is using it each night, and sometimes even during the day.

My original fan lasted 11 years. I've had the replacement for over 6 months and haven't had any problems.

Hello! Many models of fan make an initial noise with their motor for the first 24 to 48 hours as the oil inside the motor gets distributed. If it still makes a noise after that period, please definitely contact the seller you purchased it from for an exchange.

I am not sure but I ran it for 2 hours with load continuously at 75% speed, the motor was not even warm to the touch.
