The bearings are much sturdier as the fan is bolted to the motor, and the motor is a generic one meant to be used in any orientation. I personally bought [this](iLIVING 20" Wall Mounted Shutter… www.amazon.com/dp/B0BVY8VCNZ) one for my house to cool it in the summer and at half power, every open window in the house has a stiff breeze.

Thanks. I will look into that, but at that price 2-3 box fans over the summer would be a better way to go.

Anecdotal, but I ran a fan in that exact orientation for years with no issues. I used it for an overhead fan in a garage.
