A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
I feel like I might be decently equipped to answer this. My house is older, I have no ceiling fans but I do like constant airflow especially sleeping.
I've went through a few models of tower fans and ran them virtually 24/7 and I think the one I have now has been my best choice.
I've tried a handful of vornado fans, months of use they begin getting louder, more noises start happening until the fan makes such noises that peaceful sleep or presence by them aren't possible.
Vornado fans were nice, until they failed from use.
My current fan is a Dreo. It's a tower fan but it uses a brushless motor which I didn't think any of my other fans had. It's been by far the quietest, which gives me confidence that it'll last much longer too.
Might be worth considering: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N3HKY79?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Thanks! That seems to be the consistent recommendation
