Every tower fan I’ve ever owned has been a piece of junk. Which is only a sample size of two but that was enough to put me off of the form factor. Pedestal fans are cheaper and more reliable but take up much more floor space. Anything bought at a big box store is almost guaranteed to have plastic gearing in the oscillator which will eventually start to make noise. No clue if there are “premium” brands that aren’t overpriced bougie bait but I am all ears if anyone has suggestions.
Dyson? Not sure how they are today but my old Dyson vacuum still runs really well so they’re doing something right. I know they make fans but I don’t know how long they last
I have 3 Dyson fans running right now (24/7), two are towers. One of those was a refurb, testing if they are worth their astronomical price. Had that one since 2016, no problems. Same with the other (newer) two.
I know they’re much pricier than a really cheap fan, but I wonder if they’re reliable enough to be cheaper long-term than buying replacements as the cheap ones break down.
Still, I’m glad to see a luxury brand is actually high quality for once and not just a fancy coat of pain on the same old disposable crap everyone seems to sell these days
