Secret JardinVersion 2.0 Oscillating Monkey Fan 20W Fits 0.63" - 0.83" Inch Grow Tent Poles

DO NOT BUY
Shipped stupid fast. Nice and sturdy, runs whisper quiet and oscillates super smooth. The 20W doesn't move a TON of air, but does a great job of keeping the heat off your plants and gives just enough airflow to make them "shimmer" in a 4X4 tent. I'll be buying a few more if it holds up through the next few months. Yes, it's expensive, but it is a unique mounting system that you won't find anywhere else, and the quality of construction shows.Edit:Oscillating feature stopped working after three days and now just makes loud clicks, as another reviewer mentioned. GrowStore offered a return or refund, but no details on how to return it. After several failed attempts to contact them, I was forced to file a claim with Amazon. Hopefully Amazon removes them from selling on here, their customer service is terrible!DO NOT BUYDO NOT BUY

Didn’t last 3 months, GARBAGE
Didn’t even last 3 months and the manufacturer won’t even respond and Amazon won’t accept it back at this point. Straight Garbage. Overpriced Chinese crap. Started making a loud clicking sound and just stopped.

don’t bother with this one
seems like a great idea for use where you need to clamp to a round rod and it does hold well and comes with an assortment of holding clips in various sizes.It’s too bad that the switch for high/low is so flimsy that it doesn’t switch very easily and feels like it will just break off if you try to change it.The oscillation part is a joke and every time it gets to the end of the sweep it just clangs and then goes the other way. The sound will drive you nuts and you just can’t trust it to keep working.Might have been better off with a floor mounted fan, but I just leave it on low and turn the oscillator feature off and aim it where i want it.A real disappointment for the price.

Poor Customer Service - Has defective switch that kinda works .... somebody’s bound to get defect!
Had to contact customer service and finally got a response for the defect they sent me (on / off switch loose that only sometimes work) .... anyways they said send back but I finally got the darn thing to stay in the on position and really didn’t feel like spending $10 to return a $30 item so I’m living with the defect. As far as fan power, smoothness and quiet it is good, just he darn switch is defective and apparently customer service, but this is just one review. I’m sure I just got picked out of the herd, it happens!

This Fan Blows!!!
Fast delivery. No instructions but it's fairly intuitive. Comes with two interchangeable clips to use with different diameter poles. I had to swap the one that came on it with the smaller one. Again, no instructions but easy to figure out how to unclip and reclip the smaller one. The cord could have been a bit longer but we made it work with our setup. Does what it says it does. Mounts to your tent pole and blows air on your plants. Would have given it 5 stars if it weren't so expensive. I have 24" diameter stand up fans that do the same thing and cost much less. This is a niche fan for a niche market. I think they would sell more if they dropped the price $10.

Do not buy this fan - I bought two and both broke in 2 days or less.
I bought two of these - and both broke. One broke in 48 hours, and the other broke in less than 12 hours.The design of this fan does not work in tents. Yes, it attaches to the pole, but it does not extend far enough off the pole. So, when you close your tent properly and the tent bows in (as it is SUPPOSED TO), it cuts the fan from oscillating. IN both cases (within hours), the oscillator mechanism breaks. I threw out BOTH my boxes so I can't return it - so I am stuff with two expensive fans that work, but no longer oscillate.The way the fan is designed is that it attaches to the pole, but NOT far enough off the pole so when you close your tent, it stops it from oscillating and you will hear CLICK CLICK. You'll fix it, but when you come back to your tent a few hours later, all you will hear is a loud CLICK CLICK CLICK and your new fan is broken.Happened to TWO fans - trust me - don't buy this fan. Good idea, horrible implementation because the rotate gears that turn it are simple plastic and will break very easily.

DO NOT BUY
DO NOT BUY THIS FAN!!!!! It’s loud constantly scraping on itself during oscillation keeps me up all night, and today it stops oscillating all together! AGAIN DO NOT BUY 10/10 suck rating.

Will never buy this product again from this vendor. Tried 0 stars, had to pick one star.
First fan showed up defective. Bent fan housing, but was able to bend it back. Upon using the product it squealed horribly while oscillating. Requested a return and replacement product. Showed up a day later than I was expecting (same as original order 7 days) and still did not work properly. Took 14 days total to realize I made a bad purchase on these. Making horrible noises when oscillating as the original sent fan. Will order Vivo Sun dual pack and wait the 14 plus days for delivery. Looking forward to 2 fans at the price of this one. At least this way I will know the product is good. BTW I tried both fans in every orientation possible meaning the tilt up/down. The only way I could get it to not make noise was to turn off the oscillation. Waste of time AND money. Will be sending both back.

Almost set my tent on fire
Bought this from this supplier in October of 2021. Used it for one grow and everything worked great. Went to use it for the next grow which just started last week. Two days in on new grow and I noticed the fan would slow down in the same spot of its oscillation and then would speed up as it moved on in its cycle. A couple hours later I opened the tent to check on things and noticed an electrical burning smell, and every time it cycled to that same spot you could hear the sound of electrical arcing. I unplugged and had a look and the power wire completely burnt through where it enters the main fan housing burning and scorching the frame and the rubber grommet the manufacturer installed I assume to prevent this very thing from happening. It’s bad enough this fan costs so much but to get 6 months out of it before it fails completely is ludicrous. And not to mention the hazard of setting my house on fire. Buyer beware

Versatility
Great seller, fast, quick response to my question, and a really nice oscillating fan, hooks up in minutes. If I needed more fans to move more air in a tent or small room, I would not hesitate in purchasing more of these Monkey Fans.

Best Lil Oscillation Fan
Tis’ not often I find myself paying through the ‘ol snot box, on the Jungle. Unfortunately this purchase found me coveting thy neighbours fan… Having to keep up with mine… I did unfortunately over-pay for this swinging little monkey. I would rate this fan 6 out five stars. Simply for helping me keep up! Thanks

Great idea but stopped oscillating after 3 months
The fan worked great for about 3 months, it has since stopped oscillating. I followed the direction, made sure the fan was level (no more than on a 15 degree angle when oscillating). The fan looks really good in my tent and is a great idea just needs a few tweaks. The actual fan sill work and I'm still using it, I would buy it again if it was;1. Cheaper2. More robust
