There's also a thermal cutout in the motor, like all electric motors have. When these cut out, you have to unplug the device for some period of time for it to work again. If that part goes bad, then that might take soldering.
I can't speak to the "base hinge wearing out" issue except that I didn't see many complaints on that in the amazon reviews.
All in all, it's $7.50 for a desk fan, which is a good deal regardless of any possible issues down the line. I picked up two 2-packs.
I thought it was the motor, since it had been running for years, but the previous commenter gave me an idea that it might be a fuse, and I'll try fixing it.
Not meh imho, very cool product design, voting to be displayed in MoMA
Got mine in Office Depot clearance, maybe 15 years ago for $10

The TOP bot comment. 🏆
It's a $7 fan: Of course it's not going to last forever, be super quiet, or push a hurricane's worth of air around. Jeez....
