Some people will spend hundreds of dollars on BitAxe or variant, achieving less than 5 TH/s, when they could have a used miner with 10-20x the hashrate.

Of course that comparison ignores running cost, noise, and waste heat. Those are a big deal when picking the right miner for you.

There is no waste heat in winter.

Waste heat as in heat created that does not benefit the mining process. It is up to the user to decide what to do with that heat and how much is acceptable.

Fair

Noise might be the biggest factor. Then plug and play convenience.

A bitaxe cost single digit dollars a month to run. An s19 will cost $300 or more at average electric rates.
