Properly built, properly installed ceiling fans don't vibrate. My $70 dollar ceiling fan from a big-box hardware store has no vibration whatsoever, even at maximum speed.

That's because it's new. The wobbling ones are not the cheap ones, they're just old. People buy a house and it has a fan and they never think about it just like you never think about a light fitting.

The one in my grandmother's house is probably around 50 years old, no one thought about it until it basically disintegrated one day and then we realized that no one has any idea when she bought it. Found a manufacturing date on a label.
