Why do electric fans have the high setting first?

Asked by LostInParadise (31921points) June 16th, 2010

One of life’s minor annoyances. Does everybody else but me prefer having the high speed go on first, or is it just easier to manufacture fans that way? There is another variation that has the off position in the middle. Why can’t they just go from off to low speed to high speed?
