Clubs Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) You generally get what you pay for with these fans. I find it to be false economy to buy plastic fans and use standing or floor-mounted metal fans instead, although only the standing ones generally have the oscillating function. Those pole-mounted cheapish oscillating fans are horribly short lived. And it's usually the oscillation that packs in first.

stu914 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Look at MEACO fans, expensive but worth it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweettooth Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Duronic are good fans, I get the wall mount ones attach to a plank of wood and use U bolts to fix it to the tent pole, always replace them every 18 months to 2 years as they do just slow down and fail. wanna spend 50 quid minimum Edited February 29 by sweettooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu sleeper 20vt Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Circulation fans are imo one of the biggest risks we have in a room. They seem consistently shite no matter what you get. I think im running monkey circ fans,pole mounted but not moving. I've had em at least 3 or 4 maybe 5 grows Edited February 29 by stu sleeper 20vt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddam Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 The simple fact is most of these oscillating fans aren't designed to be run 24/7, even the expensive ones. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Mine must be the 2nd gen AC Infinity ones that work. Not cheap but they have come down in price since I bought mine. And I have them running about 15hr a day, turning them off at night which reduces humidity in the cupboard for some reason unknown.. I also find USB fans good value, and you can mount them anywhere, just avoid the ones with a battery. 5v very unlikely to melt the fan or cause a fire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbal Kint Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I ordered Typhoon from growshop,its standing one but its durable and gives out less noise ,it was 45euros i think but much better then shity ones i usually buy for a tenner. Tower fans can be hanged sideway if space is issue,all clip fans i got are weak or die soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweettooth Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 why not just use some of the standard air movers and hang a cew pointing different directions, I've got a couple of the ram floor fans now but hand them with bungees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
