Industrial Motors Compared: From a $24.99 Fan Motor to a $555 Variable-Speed Option

Four new industrial replacement motors compared by price and application, from a $24.99 fan/trimmer motor to a $555 variable-speed pump-style motor.

Last updated Aug 17, 2026

Quick take

Replacing an industrial motor usually starts with a part-number match and a performance spec. Price matters, but the real test is whether the motor matches the job in front of you. The four motors here span a wide price range, from $24.99 to $555. All four are new-condition motors, but each is aimed at a different job: a low-power fan/trimmer motor, a dual-speed 1/3 HP replacement, a part-number-specific replacement motor, and a more advanced option.

Price comparison

The prices place the YYF at the low end and the Century at the high end, with the D1092 and Broan-Nutone in between.

Product notes

YYF96-60-6 60W 110V 60Hz 1.0A Replacement Electric Motor for Fan or Trimmer

YYF96-60-6 60watt 110V 60hz 1.0A Replacement Electric Motor For Fan Or Trimmer

The YYF96-60-6 is the entry-priced motor in this set, and its title calls it a replacement for fan or trimmer use. It is a 60 W, 110 V, 60 Hz, 1.0 A single-phase induction/asynchronous motor with a 1250 RPM figure. The model YYF96-60-6 and MPN YYF96-60 are given, along with a country of origin of China. Choose it when the job is a straightforward fan or trimmer motor and the voltage and frequency match. The limitation is the modest 60 W output and 1.0 A draw, which keep it at the low-power end of the group.

D1092 OEM Direct Replacement Motor

D1092 OEM Direct Replacement Motor 1/3 HP 1675/1080 RPM Same Day Ship by 2PM CST

This motor is defined by its spec sheet: 1/3 HP, dual speeds of 1675/1080 RPM, and 115 V. It is positioned as an OEM direct replacement and pairs the NBK name with Fasco as the replaced line, so it can be a candidate when your original part carries that reference. The dual-speed capability is the concrete reason to choose it. The limitation is that the motor is built around a 115 V, 1/3 HP spec, so it is aimed at that voltage range.

Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor

Broan-Nutone 99080483 Replacement Motor, Broan

This motor is identified by part number 99080483 and carries an OEM Replacement Motor feature. Its listed length is 6.800 and depth is 6.400, so there is a physical envelope to check against your mounting space. If your equipment uses this part number, the direct part-number match is the reason to pick it. The tradeoff is that it sits in the middle of the price range, so it makes sense mainly when the exact reference matters rather than when you need a general-purpose motor.

Century Motor VGreen EVO 2.25 THP Square Flange Variable Speed Replacement Motor

Century Motor VGreen EVO 2.25 THP Square Flange Variable Speed Replacement Motor

The Century VGreen EVO is the only variable-speed motor in the group and also the top-priced one. It is a 2.25 THP square flange replacement motor with Material Iron/Plastic and a minimum pump power requirement of 2 1/2 hp. The MPN is EVQ225. Choose it when you need variable speed along with the square flange form, especially in a pump-style application. The limitation is the spend: it sits far above the other three motors in this comparison, so it only makes sense when the performance needs justify the top-of-range price.

Final recommendation by use case

For a low-cost replacement, start with the YYF96-60-6. Choose the D1092 when the replacement motor profile matches your existing motor. If 99080483 is your part number, use that motor. If the VGreen EVO is the replacement your system requires, that's the one to consider. Match the motor to the application and the price ordering becomes straightforward. If you can line up the motor reference with the original part, the choice is usually clear.
