^ Gets 4.5/5 stars, reviews don't look too fake to me as most of them do provide what looks like subjective info about the fan quality and noise, including comparisons to a Noctua model and their estimate of value.
The startling thing is how they're contrasting with fans that cost even more, while I'm still sitting on a partial box of brand new Sunon fans of the same size bought 18 years ago at MPJA for $1.95 ea and not a single one of those have failed, probably due to being dual ball bearing and industrial grade. MPJA had some really, really good deals on fans back then!
Anyway where I suspect a few reviewers went wrong with these Toughfans is mounting them horizontally which will cause drastically reduced life for any sleeve bearing fan even if it has some fancy marketing term thrown on like hydro, fluid, rifle, dynamic, doubleplusgood, vortextornadoninja, etc.
