A plastic fan (especially a cheap one) will only last so long in the heat of an attic. The motor will eventually lock up and and will lead to overheating that can possibly start a fire.

A lot of attic fans will come with a thermostat (they are also relatively cheap on their own) that turns off the fan on a regular basis.
Most people that put a regular house fan in the attic are not going to think to turn off the fan on their own. House fans are also not meant to be hard wired in, so most people will probably use an extension cord (which can also be a fire hazard in the future while laying in the insulation).
Besides the fire hazard. Long run times contributes to the electric bill in several ways. Fan wattage consumption is a small part. Depending on how badly your house is insulated, a fan running continuously through the night causes the attic to cool down faster. This can lead to humidity problems as it draws in cool/moist air that is absorbed into the insulation causing musty smells and mold. It can also remove the air barrier that a warm attic provides on chilly nights. As the delta between the indoor and outdoor temperatures broaden, your HVAC system works harder to keep the house in line, causing your bill to go higher.
All that is a long winded way to say that if you want to get a fan for your attic. Get the proper fan and controls.

I bought like 6 of them 6+ years ago (what a coincidence lol).
1/6 went bad, like completely died.
The other 5/6 have been going strong, all around my house in living spaces... I've got 1 as a TOWEL DRYER! (I laid it facing up under my towels, on a wifi switch, on a timer, to turn on at 2AM and 12PM everyday - Which is a few hours from my wife and i's shower time).
I've since replaced that (1) bad fan, and haven't really been disappointed since! Just make sure to open it up once a year, clean all the dust and debris, and relube the bearings (takes 5 minutes each fan). I let these suckers go on for (I believe) 2-3+ years before i serviced them, and even THEN? I didn't need to.... Just wanted to complete maintanence on them so they last forever.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, they do get FAIRLY noisy...
but I think the $10 HD Vornado deal? That thing is louder than this, and it doesn't move anywhere near as much air IMO. (I still have the other Vornado BNIB)
