Then by all means please wrap all your electrical equipment with stuff that can catch fire. Just don't give your advice to others. That's my advice to you. You can fucking kill someone with that advice.

Best way to keep noise level of the fan down is to get a larger fan and turn speed down. It’ll move the same or more CFM while working a fraction of the noise level.
i agree, don’t wrap anything electrical. That’s just asking for problems.

how exactly can wrapping a fan cause a fire? anything carrying an electrical current is already insulate and earthed. The motor inside is kept cool by the air moving through the fan. Wrapping it can not change the temperature of the electrical components.

Motors can always burn out / have bad bearings. Over heat and cause a short

if it did burn out I don't think the blanket would change anything. I've had fans quit on me and none of them have ever gotten hot enough to even melt the wires

it's already got a casing housing the motor. The blanket won't change anything. The more expensive quieter fans are built with sound insulated cases. I'm just adding that on to the outside with the blanket. There are certainly electrical devices that you wouldn't insulate like amplifiers that need heat sinks but fans have cooling built in to them.
Anyway it works. I use cheap ass fans and sleep in the same room. lol

Wait a minute, you'd need to plain stupid to wrap something flammable around a fan I thought that would go without saying?
In the UK your hard pushed to find any household items these days that have self sustaining flammability.
And above all most semi decent fans have thermal protection circuits.

it's not possible for the internal parts to get hot enough to bother the blanket

More awful info by the master

yes they have thermal protection circuits. it's plugged into a board with overload and surge protection which is plugged into the house wiring running on another circuit breaker.

can anyone give some detail on what the risk is here?

I recently upgraded to the AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S4:
It's a little pricier than some others, but I am extremely impressed with this fan. The whole reason I bought it was because the fan I started with was loud enough to keep me awake at night. If you're looking for quiet, that's what this device is all about. It comes with a built-in manual speed controller that offers 8 settings. I keep mine on setting 4 and hardly hear it running at night. It also looks sleek and is very capable of moving air.
They also offer a more expensive version that has additional features (the T4). And, there is a 6" version of both the "base" model and the one with all of the bells and whistles (if you're using larger ducting). Those are the S6 and T6, respectively.
