Best Electric Fans

Topsterguy · May 20, 2009, 01:02:47 AM

I had a Zirgo 16" electric fan give up on me last summer, and it rurned out that two other guys I know had the same fan go on them over a short period as well. I had it in the car, with a relay, for about 4-5 years. What's the opinions on the best / most reliable ones out there? Thanks!

I had a zirgo and was coming home up our dirt road herd a lat of racket and all I have was a hub all the blades came off. was only a couple of months old. No replacement blades, they are said to be balanced to the motor. went to spal. ED

I have had a Spal fan in my car for about 8 years, zero problems. I believe Spal is the best fan you can buy.

Cooling Components are good. They are much quieter than most.

I bought Cooling Components.

Put my vote down for Cooling Components, have one on my 40 pickup. It is relatively quiet and it COOLS. It's paired with a Walker Radiator and hasn't missed a beat.

Spal or OEM
