I have been using a Metal Fan in a G5 for the past five years now. It has had absolutely no issue at all. It runs just fine and sounds smooth. The performance is a lot better than when it had the Nylon Fan.
And yes VacCollector21, you do have to remove the brass ring to make the fan fit. But I think it’s worth it. The Metal Fan gives it more airflow, as well as make it sound a lot like an older Kirby. Which sounds awesome by the way. The only thing is you just have to be more careful with what you pick up. The Metal Fans aren’t as durable as the Nylon Fans. Oh by the way, I’m one of those YouTube channels you mentioned. superocd, The Hentria is a very cool machine my best friend built. I am getting it this year, and that will be very cool! You do have to snip the clip off the old Sentria bag and sew it onto a Heritage bag. Then just put it on the Sentria’s emtor. I hope this helps a bit. |
