Looking to get a tower fan be see some really poor reviews on a few of them. Any suggestions?
I have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-2535-Space-Saving-Pedestal-Control/dp/B000RMJANY
I like it, but it’s too high. The brand offers a few form factors. I’ve owned this fan for at least 5 years, and have been running it non-stop for the last few months and it’s taken it like a champ.
Whatever is cheapest or better yet on sale at Canuk Tire or Home Hardware does it for me. Those can be nice in the corner of a tent or tight grow space and come in all sizes.
Most cheap fans are junk and the expensive ones not a lot better in my experience. I like to keep a spare or two on hand. Always seem to be tearing them apart and cleaning the bushings then lubing with 3-in-1 oil every few months until they finally pack it in.
I been using this one since about mid February , only 5 months but so far so good.
Doesn’t take much space you can see the right rear corner in this pic of my 2x4 tent.
It moves things nicely I haven’t had to use it on any speed besides the lowest it’s also fairly quiet , I’d have to go try the other 2 speeds to see how much louder it gets.
I have a sunbeam, bought it off Facebook market place for 10$ been working well for 4 months now.
Funny…i just looked on market place and there is one on there for $20 I think I’ll gove that a try
The sunbeam are good because they have a twist dial for everything, where as the more expensive all singing and dancing ones have micro switches and mini computers, that die quickly.
I get all my fans second hand of either market place or Kijiji.
I need to upgrade my fan situation, some of these tower fans look nice, anyone got updates? Or any fans to avoid?
Love this fan. Use it in my 4x4. Night and day air movement from the previous clip ons. Zero emitted light unless you change a setting. The lights auto turn off after like 20 seconds. Medium is powerful. I’ve never put it on high. Been using it a little over 8 months now.
Much appreciated!
