I have had pretty good luck with the Caframos. Best thing is the speed control lets you set them on quiet mode for bedtime. 3 of my 4 are doing well. One apparently has a high-pitched squeal that my wife and I cannot hear. The dogs and my son complain about it though. Some have guards on the bla

Caframo's seem to live substantially longer than others, and combine low draw with excessive amounts of quiet compared to many competitors. I've had some fans that lasted less than a week. If Wally is frequently running his 24/7 and they last a year, I'd call that exceptional service life for a
