    cheep ass fans

    I thought active Air was a decent company I bought 2 of their 16 inch wall mounted Oscillating fans , I bought them in Aug. one of them quit oscillating in Sept. and I just noticed the other one quit ,

    Has any one had better luck with some other Oscillating fans anything over a 6 month working period ,haha 6 months It should last 6 years

    You know Patton fans were decades long lasting until they moved to China. Now their fans are crap. I have discovered that the old blind Kung fu master from the Kung Fu TV series has a new job as China's sole quality control.

      You might go to a thrift store , and try to locate some older fans. They should be even cheaper since it is winter.

        OJH, I'd say go on Amazon and read reviews of the fans.

        That's how I decide on what to buy for lots of my grow stuff: I listen to what other buyers have to say. And if you look around, you might get ideas for what would work better in your grow room.

          Been there done that. Finding something not manufactured in China is very difficult. Have found some supposedly made in the USA, but the reviews on them are tending negative. I did pick up a high velocity Lasko which seems fairly good so far, but it is not oscillating. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

              Hey OJH, it's in the back of my tent right now an I can't read the name on it, but I'll find out today some time, it's got a bunch of different speeds on it, plus it's like 34inches tall, an not much larger than a softball at the bottom.very small footprint, but puts out lots of air. Damn, good fan.
