Aren’t basically all fans BiFL? They’re very simple devices, without much to go wrong. I’ve never had a fan, even base-budget home-brand department store ones, ever break, unless they fell over, or got hit enough to snap parts, but even BiFL things will break if you abuse them.
At most, the pedestal fans I’ve used wilt slightly, and that’s easily fixed by tightening the screw in the neck.
I’ve had fans with motors burn out. I even had an industrial fan meant for warehouses eventually start smelling like burning when it ran. So I threw that out. I wasn’t about to keep let it running and risk it catching fire.
I had a simple box fan break a blade from falling over due to its own power. A fan with better materials should be able to survive a short fall (and probably shouldn’t be able to blow itself over).
