seems like the only miners you can run at home are more of a toy then something you can make any real money with

The Sidehack USB sticks are a nice choice or possibly an old S3 those weren't to noisy. Everything from bitmain after that was way to noisy and draws to much to run on any normal home 110V electrical outlets

Problem is, for most, electricity costs make mining at home not worth it.
The only remaining reasons to mine at home would be to get bitcoins (at higher cost than from an exchange), or for the sake of mining, like a hobby for which you don't mind spending money without financial return.
