Why do Panasonic Fans have such a long life?
The Panasonic fans are designed to give the consumer trouble-free continuous operation for a minimum of 50,000 hours. In fact, the engineering target for these fans was to provide a fan with at least 100,000 hours of operational life, but they have only been manufactured for about 10 years, so we have not reached 100,000 hours of testing yet. In performance tests at the factory in Japan, fans have been tested after 40, 50, and 60,000 hours of operation and virtually no wear was noted. Several factors contribute to this longevity.
Panasonic fans are designed to provide continuous operation for a minimum of 30,000 hours. They are actually designed to provide up to 100,000 hours of operation, but most fans haven’t been around long enough to reach that goal in testing. Some fans, however, have reached 60,000 hours in testing with virtually no wear on their components.
