I’ll start by saying that our mighty hatch fan has been in near constant use, but the cheap PWM speed controller gave up. I’m pretty sure a new potentiometer (the part that lets to you dial in the speed) would have fixed it, but for the price of a new controller it wasn’t worth my time. So I put in a new controller, same model. We’ll see how it does. The fan itself is doing just fine.
Our oscillating fans have served us well, some being four years old, but we did have two failures. One was probably caused by being dropped a few times. Again, in both cases, I probably could have fixed them, but at about $12 I just replaced them. I think we have nine scattered around the boat now, so for the price we still like them. I get them at Advance Auto , and if you purchase online and pick them up at the store you can usually save 20%.
