Disadvantages

One of the major disadvantages of BLDC fans is that they are expensive. Even a basic model costs double the regular fans. As they could be operated using a remote controller, there wouldn’t be a regular. So, the AAA batteries in the remote need to be replaced at intervals. However, this need not be considered a disadvantage.
