Yupp fans I've bought fucking suck, might as well buy multiple cheapos and set a few back
UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!I bought this 2 months ago. Been running perfectly. Time will tell tho.
It doesn't require a Smart controller as I don't have one.
Spider Farmer Grow Tent Clip Fan 6” with 7-Speeds, EC-Motor, IP-44 Protection, Auto Oscillating Clip on Fan, Powerful Airflow but Low Noise, Indoor Greenhouse Hydroponics Circulation Cooling Fans https://a.co/d/dtRha9C
2 AC Infinity Axial muffin fans with controller is about $35-40 on Amazon. They are 120volt metal frame fans like you would see in a server rack. I just hang them with wire or slip the bracket over the support bar. Plug it into whatever generic timer or Inkbird controller you want.

In a jam fans can sometimes be coaxed back into life.
A motor seizure is usually fixable with some wd40 and oil and they're good for another few months.
(Wd40 isn't oil)
The cable twisting back and fourth over a small area is always going to wear out, when/if it does it's easily fixed with a soldering iron and heat shrink.
The last fan I bought was December 2021
I'm still using it without any mending but I have changed the blade in favour of 3 blades over a 5 which was pretty noisy.
