Are the fan blades rigid plastic or are they the soft foam type of blade?

They are rigid plastic. Moreover, the fan speed isn't as good as what I'd expected.

The blades are rigid, but generally pretty harmless if you should brush up against them while spinning.

Breeze Mobile is designed to deliver a gentle breeze to you and area immediate around you very quietly. The fan blades is rigid plastic so it can deliver consistent air flow. It's very quiet to use in office cubicles, library and even in meeting rooms.

There is no wood on this fan. Blades are plastic or some kind of composite material made to look like wood. Our fans are mounted outside under a patio cover. Standard fan blades will droop after they absorb moisture. These obviously will not. This was one of the reasons we purchased three of these fans.

They are not. Those are the international blades. These are Solingen steel; they don't have the same stability of superior Henkels blades but are not trash.

They are a solid foam rubber. No air required, but nice and soft. Very good in my opinion.

They're slide on blades. They're exactly the same as the Gillette Trac II blades.

They are plastic but a high grade plastic. They do not feel flimsy in any way.

Fan blades, stand and guard are metal. Buttons and rear housing are plastic. Height adjustable from 3.5 feet to 5 feet. The first one I had quit after 3 weeks they replaced it no problem and the one I have now hasn't had any issues. Seems like a decent fan but it is not commercial grade.

Given their weight, I assume they are hollow plastic. Definitely not foam, but hard plastic.

When I saw the commercial for this I googled then started to research and the only thing that was different for me was I found some who said thefan blade was plastic and tend to break so I made sure the one I bought had a metal fan blade. I LOVE mine.

These blades are not reversible, if you need help locating fans that have reversible blades just let us know! :)

The piece that holds the blades together is metal. he blue plastic part simply covers the top of the "screw" that holds them together. They com apart easily and go back together easily and so far are very durable.

Plastic. They worked out pretty good for the cost, and they're holding up alright, but next time I'll just send the extra money and get the stainless blades.

Yes I believe it is a polycarbonate just like the non-removable blade models. I would say the plastic is highly durable but the electronics inside are not so I wouldn't advise hitting this thing against anything beyond a light tap to initiate the clash sound effect

I would say on my WHITE fan, that the blades are a man made product, about 1/4" thickness. The lack of "grain" should make them easier to clean, IMHO. And these fans are absolutely silent -- we love them.

It is probably a strong plastic. Looks like gray metal. The most quiet fan and effective modern fan I have ever seen. If you are traditional you will not like it. I love it.

The rotary blades are metal with attached rubber faces. The outer housing is plastic.

The base and motor housing are plastic as well as the height adjustment sleeve. The fan blades and housing are metal as well as the shaft. Adjusts from roughly 3 feet to five feet. I have noticed when extended to full height it tends to rattle and shake.
