$120 US dollars for 3 osculating fans ......Wow ......Mine cost me Cdn $4.99 - 30% seniors discount or about $2 US for each of my fans, some clip on some I bolt to the wall,,,,Look around at your local thrift stores, humidifiers, fans, pots, even light fixtures....I get most of my grow stuff second hand and I stock up when I see things I need....my wife keeps saying no more fans...lol I must have a dozen around here somewhere.

Let me see your setup to determine if it's more convenient and cost effective

I just paid $19.00 for shipping from Growershouse.com and won't do it again as my Bloom GN was on back order and I had to call to have them send the other 2 items now, one of which is cal/mag. Botnicare.

Funny how the box says designed in Canada.

Solid little units tho, wish it oscillated further.

I wish it oscillated a little slower and was a little quieter. Probably end up removing the grate cover.

You can cut the base off any oscillating fan and mount it to a clip. If you want to be fancy you can mount it to a pvc tee thats about .25in ID larger than the tent poles. Tap two holes into the tee and screw in two set screws now your height adjustable. More advanced. Mount with rubber gasket, tighten all screws with loc tight and spray your motor with a silicon lubricant, now its quiet. Fans cost ten dollars at walmart.

That’s what I did. Used 3/4” pvc. Cut to fit into corner of 4x8. Elbowed it together. Secured it to the tent post. Mounted the fan base to the PVC. Voila.

Set screws? Rubber gasket? Loc tite? Silicone lubricant? $10 fan? Yeah that's about $30 anyway you look at it.

Thats weird because I cant find anything on there website that says they manufacture in America. Thats usually a good selling point so you would think it would be plastered on their website. I did find this on Ebay

Click here: Growbuds fan link

If you scroll down to item description it clearly says manufactured in China. Just trying to clear things up.

Set screws should cost about nineteen cents a piece. Rubber square gasket is sixty nine cents. Loc tite check your garage. Or costs about two dollars. Silicone lubricant, again check the garage otherwise you're looking at dropping hard earned wagie bux of around three dollars. So I'm topping out about sixteen dollars. Now screwdrivers can run you about three or four hundred thousand dollars even at your local Home Depot but there are short term loan and screwdriver mortgage brokers on site at all times. PVC tee will run you about one dollar. So altogether were under twenty dollars per fan. With just one time capital investment on a modest screwdriver of three hundred thousand dollars.

There definitely is a difference in quality between similar products from China. Look at phones, they are ALL made in China, but an iphone is better quality then a 30 dollar tracfone from walmart. Both made in China.

I don't really know what isn't made in China anymore. America likes slapping it's label on anything. Look at HLG. All components come from China but they call it American.

Less than a dollar in gas. Ten minute time investment. Less time spent waiting for a fan. Time is money yo.

There probably won't be 1 manufacturing plant in the US by 2050 if we keep in the direction we are going.
