One of my most vivid memories from early childhood--probably pre-age seven--was one summer night when a box fan, which was probably not very old at the time, suddenly started filling the bedroom with smoke! It was almost certainly a GE; many years later I removed a GE window fan from grandpa's garage when we sold that house and was disappointed to discover that one of the windings was shorted. I know that there are many very early finger-chopper style desk fans that still run great as long as you keep them oiled, but it's been my experience that the quality with which later fan motors were built was lacking and they don't hold up.
