Air King Fans, Worth The Extra Coin?

[Treetroit City]

So I need to get a couple wall mount fans and am wondering if I should pay the extra to get the Air Kings.

My only experience to date is with a 6" clip on. I bought a cheap one and I bought an Air King. The cheap one lasted a year and the AK is still running smooth after a few years.

I see the 16" AK has a 1/20th H.P. motor while the Active Air 16" has a 1/50th H.P.

Can anyone recommend a good brand(other than AK) that will last?

I have a few of those 6" clip on fans they are great .
I also have a 16" wallmount airking . I think I got it for $50 . It was working fine until I bumped my head on it and it stopped oscillating . I contacted Airking and they said I needed a receipt in order for them to do anything . I didnt have one so I was outta luck . My buddy took the airking apart as well as an Ecoplus fan and was able to fix the Airking. It is still running.
I just purchased another Ecoplus $30

Don't spend the extra money. Totally not worth it. I bought one of the floor pedestal ones for like $80. At the same time I bought an identical cheapy from Lowes for $39. 6 months later, the Air King broke, the cheapy from Lowes is still going strong.
