Reply to comment by samaramatisse in Lasko/Galaxy 3150/2150 12" oscillating fans circa 70s-80s. I've had the blue one for several years and just got the amber one to complete the set. Quiet, powerful, and efficient, they perform just as good as they look. by Xyspade

That's on purpose. The tip of the "petal" blades have almost no material to them, let alone pitch. This is because the motors don't have enough power to drive the blade if it were to move air across the entire area. The Lasko 20" box fans are essentially 12 or 14 inch fans.
