New Oscillating Fan with pole clip

[MrPNW]

Super reliable floor/tabletop oscillating fan. I ran it non-stop from October to March.

If you’ve got a broken Vivosun or Secret Jardin pole fan, folks are adapting these Blizzard fans to the clamps.

The number of Vivosun failures is huge. They removed the fan from amazon yet continue to sell it on their website. When I contacted them about getting one of the clamps they told me I needed to buy the whole fan. I told them its not on amazon and they confirmed that. So why sell all your other products there, but not the fan. Because it’s dangerous.

There’s a few videos on YouTube taking the better pole clamps and adapting them to reliable oscillating fans like the 8” Lil’ Blizzard. I have one of those (mrcanuck recommend) and its gone non-stop since october.

I think 90% of stuff from Amazon is not UL listed. Every Vivosun fan I have bought has had failures. Once i discovered one, I decided to check all my Vivosun stuff and most of them had shitty soldering issues.

I run them on a good surge protector and I have 2 amp fuse inline so if it so much as even try’s to over current it pops a fuse. I am an Hvac contractor. I am pretty familiar with motors and motor protection

The non UL listed ones freak me out. I didn't realize the vivosun one I bought wasn't. Hence why it's no longer in use.

I bought a couple of the ultra yield brand off Amazon an I have had one going night and day for the last month and so far so good. Bit they are not UL listed

I recently was looking at the growbud fans. They look pretty good. I have one of the Vivosun clip on fans. It's ok but I don't trust it and put in out of commission.
I replaced it with a 12" wall mount fan by Hurricane.

Let me know how the build quality is. I’ve been searching for good pole clamps for my existing hardware. If this is any good, I’ll probably order a couple of them.

I preordered 3 of these new UL approved fans from Growbuds in early January and they arrived today. It’s hard to find a clip on oscillating fan that doesn’t burn out. This also has the nice pole clamp that faces away from the front of the fan much like the vivosun fan’s clamp. That fan is not UL approved and got poor reviews.

I think I will test them in my shop prior to using in my tent. With harvest coming this weekend I don’t need any unknowns in the equation. Like burning 🔥 up my first grow.
