Kids & fans?

Question

Does anyone know of any box fans (or something like a box fan) that's safer around kids?

Answer 1

If you are worried about sticking little fingers in, either put the fan up high, or get some screen, it's pretty cheap, and wrap it around the fan.  Most of them are now made that the holes are too small to put a whole hand in and the blades are too far away to get the fingers to.  They are now also plastic and won't cut the fingers off, it might sting some, even make a cut, but nothing serious even if they do manage to get their fingers in there somehow.

Answer 2

Cieling fans, window air conditioner, attic fan

The point of fans is to blow air out. If they didn't have holes the air couldn't get out. I would say that you should angle the fan downward from higher up so they can't reach it.
