My 2 active air wall mount fans in my sealed room shit the bed after 2 runs. Don't buy these things they are cheap pieces of shit, the oscillating part went 1st. Was looking for any recommendations for some wall mount oscillating fans that are good and will last. I might just get the industrial wall mounts at this point. All the plastic fans seems the same to me.

See if you can get some DC powered wall fans. Mine been going strong for couple years, expensive but quiet and use less power.

I've gone through Air Kings, Active Airs and Hurricane. Only ones that last more than 2 years where the Air Kings. Some of the Active Airs would go out in as little as 6 months. Hurricane was a decent brand.

One this I changed, and I feel make a huge difference is blowing pressurized air into the motor of the fan. I was surprised how much junk came off the motor. So far Air Kings are going on 2 years without issues but I've also been cleaning them very well between cycles, previous brands were cleaned but I never cleaned the motors like I do with the Air Kings.

Hurricane are junk, that’s what I have, I warranty the out at the shop for now. But I’ve tried the others over the years too with none of them lasting long. I have one now I got to warranty out between runs. Best thing about buying local.

I went through 2 of the commercial hurricane all metal ones in a year. My hurricane plastic 18” are still going strong. ones 4 years old and the other is 3 years old. Both have ran 24 hours a day since I bought them.

I’ll be sticking with those for sure.

Just had the 2nd Holmes 16" wall mount fan take a shit in less than a year. Same exact weak point on the oscillating parts when angled down. Installed the 3rd one that was a warr from the 1st fan. I could prob warr the 2nd as well but fuck it. They were a pain in the ass to deal with customer service wise. I bought 2 others from a different brand and will see how those do when this POS breaks.

I think I had used them for a space heater in the past so I gave them a go. Worst fans ever. The new ones I just got are Comfort Zone 16" oscillating wall fans CZ16WR. They even have remotes and were just short of half the price lol.

Well one of my tornado fans make a horrible grind sounding noise when pointed down I’ll see how long this one last. One of my hurricanes won’t stay pointed down. And I just brought one of those comforts with a remote

I’ve been using a floor standing oscillating fan i got from Costco in my tent. I took off the stand and just strung it to the side of with 2 ratchet ropes and have been working fine. haven’t had any mold or powdery mildew signs in the 7 tent grows I’ve done.
