Can you recommend a good brand? I’ve been on the fence for years because the review are all over the place

I bought one out of idle curiosity a few years ago. I don't think they make any difference - they don't pull enough air through.

fans are weird, the propeller design and material makes a lot of difference and so you can get some that claim to be the same wattage, measure at the same wattage, but that move different amounts of air

I imagine it only gets more complicated when you're trying to combine that with an unknown amount of power generated from an odd method

Don't bother outside of some very niche uses they don't really add much.
