The fan used to last for decades without breaking down. Why is the fan not working now?

Why do electric fans manufactured today break down within a year or two?

As far as technology is concerned, the technology now is much better than before.

Why can't we make electric fans last as long as they used to?

1. Enterprises pursue profits. This reminds me of the founder of Bull Electronics. He founded Bull Electronics at that time and made very good sockets.

People around him told him that if you make a socket of such good quality that users can use it without breaking it for several years or decades, then who will buy new ones and how to make money?

But the founders didn't listen to what others said and continued to make better quality sockets.

Instead, they sold more and more and became leaders in the industry.

Now look at the fan manufacturers, they are not taking the road of high quality, but the road of low cost and high profit.

Fans are very cheap, but soon break and need to be replaced with a new one.

Friends who have old fans at home can look at the materials used in the motors of the old fans.

The coils inside the motor are made of pure copper, and the casing and fan blades are also made of iron, which can be said to be very heavy.

In the past, old items had a special feature: they were really made of real materials and of very good quality.

On the other hand, current fan motor coils, which are slightly more expensive and high-end, will give you copper wire, usually aluminum wire or copper-clad aluminum, which is very different from pure copper!

2. The appearance and style of the old fan are not suitable for the pursuit of this era. The old fan was very heavy in the past.

It is inconvenient to move back and forth, and its appearance is iron, relatively ugly, and does not meet people's pursuits, so it gradually has no market.

In addition, the price is very high.

In the 1970s and 1980s, a worker's monthly salary was only 70 to 80 yuan, and a fan cost 200 to 300 yuan.

3. The diversification of modern life and the pursuit of high-quality life. Today, people prefer new things, such as bladeless fans and air conditioning fans, as well as advanced spray fans and variable frequency air conditioning fans.

No one likes a heavy, ugly old fan anymore.

All in all, it’s still about profit.

It's not that people today can't make a fan that lasts 30 to 40 to 50 years, it's that they can't sell it while they're making it.

All motor coils are made of pure copper.

I'm afraid no company will do this because the cost is too high.

The selling price is very low, so there is no way to make a profit, and if the price is high, no one can buy it.
