Antminer 17-series was a letdown for many. But does that mean the S19 series is bad? I’m curious about which miners are the most reliable and last the longest. Any recommendations?

s17+ and t17+ are decent options.
Canaan's Avalons are pretty solid, especially the A9 models. They’re tough as nails. A10 and newer have fewer issues reported, but the PSUs are still a weak point compared to Antminers. much better reliability.
Seriously, those miners are just trash. Everyone knows it.
LOL, you made my day with that one!

Mineral oil tanks work great for cooling. They run smoothly without any hiccups.
Whatsminer has a good reputation too. I’ve had an M20 for over 2 years with no issues. Meanwhile, my S17 Pros have had almost every board fail. Just started running an M30S, it’s hotter than the M20 and S19 but seems solid.
