I've had terrible luck with oscillating fans, most use simple sleeve bushings which quickly fail.
I haven't tried the tower design, hopefully they're more reliable.
A few fixed fans can provide better airflow, more reliability, and less cost.

I just hang a few from the top corners of the tent and add another fan beneath the canopy as well once the tent fills.

I’ve used a pretty basic Honeywell tower fan in the corner of my 4x4s and now in my 8x4 they do the job. About 3 feet tall, oscillates nicely they’ve run mostly continuously for over a year now.
Damn near tripled in price since I got them though Honeywell HYF023W Comfort Control Tower Fan, Wide Area Cooling, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HIQZCA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KRC1PDXFZVTEYDD067NJ lowest setting is all you need in a 4x4. Got one on medium in the 8x4 now.

I currently have 2x honeywell 6" fans for ventilation in my tent. I have them each hung upside down (the bottoms of the stands have holes for mounting) and on ratchet cables (two for each), and I have one on each end of the tent. I have them angled across and down and I can adjust the height as the plants grow. They're each on a timer (smart plug) and alternate hourly to change up the air flow.
