Basic fan is just coil capacitor and wall rheostat controller are all the same. No matter what brand, the capacitor will normally go out first. This is due to voltage surge normally. It is less than RM10 part.

More complex one is using remote controller with or with or timer. This has more electronics and more chance components on board to fail including the capacitor above.

The 3rd type is the one with DC speed controller. More quiet, more precise speed control and I think more energy saving (well fan power is not much anyway I believe).

For me, the 1st type can just buy any brand. the 2nd and the 3rd one, chose any known brand. If the board failed, you can easily find on Lazada or Shopee for replacement board. It is usually < than RM100.

Now it is more about how much you want to send on it.

Are there ceiling DC motor fans with wall controller. All my remote controlled fans have failed controllers, not worth it imo but kdk/national rheostat fans still working well, capacitors also not changed for many decades, just need some silicone lube after decades.
