New Blades for Air Breeze?
I'm familiar with the aftermarket blades that improve
noise
on the Air X.
Will these blades make a substantial difference on the Air Breeze?
Anyone actually change the blades on their Air Breeze?

I cannot tell if mine is noisier than most or if I'm more sensitive to the
noise
. I'd love to knock down the noise further.

Re: New Blades for Air Breeze?
Have you lightly sanded 10"- 12" of the end of each blade trailing edge. It dose make a difference. after time the trailing edge gets a bit tatty.

Re: New Blades for Air Breeze?
Ours made a slight whistling noise when new......I took 400 grit to the trailing edge of each blade to soften the sharp
parts
. No whistling now, just a whooshing of sorts.
