the price is fair, good quality, no noise, air blow strong and quite. it's good for bedroomi love it.

Yes, six and a half years ago I purchased this fan here on Amazon. I never considered posting a review of it before because, well--it's a fan. It spins around and blows air, as fans do. Then the other night, as I was researching some other electronic appliances for purchase and trying to figure out how well they hold up over time, it dawned on me that this Lasko product deserved a positive review that would hopefully alleviate concerns that others might have on buying such an item sight unseen.The fan was purchased to move the air around in a stuffy upstairs bedroom, while also providing white noise for sleeping. It excels in both respects, although I'd caution that one man's "white noise" is another man's "annoyance"--the unit is hardly silent, and if you plan on using the highest (of three) fan settings you're going to notice the noise. Even on the lowest speed I can see how it could disturb those who prefer dead silence as their background noise. For me this is a positive feature (I struggle to sleep without that steady drone), but if you value silence above all else this is ~not~ the right product for you.Set-up was easy and self-explanatory; I can say this with certainty even after all these years because it does require breaking back down for periodic cleaning. The unit is fairly bulky, particularly regarding the base plate which does a great job of stabilizing the fan even on high speed, but does so at the cost of taking up a sizeable amount of floor space. Fortunately, the included remote control (which has worked flawlessly since purchase with, to the best of my recollection, only two battery changes) means that the fan can be tucked into a corner without concern over being able to reach the controls, with the notable caveat that you cannot remotely change between oscillating and stationary.What I want to stress most of all, though, is that this fan has had ~zero~ mechanical issues over the six and a half years I've owned it. And we're not talking occasional use here, either--between keeping the airflow moving during the day and providing white noise at night, it has been running ~far~ more often than not over these years. During the summer the fan is generally left running (on high) for literally 5-6 MONTHS at a time--not "every night for months", but literally 24 hours a day, every day, for 5-6 months!! I'll be the first to admit that the construction ~feels~ flimsy when you first unpack and assemble it, but the results don't lie: this fan has been unbelievably durable. And not just mechanically, either--even after at least a dozen dis-assemblies for cleaning, the plastic clips which hold the plastic casing in place have held up beautifully as well (I distinctly remember thinking during the first assembly that there was no way those things would last--I was very wrong!).I cannot comment on how well the timer function works as I obviously haven't used it, and as alluded to the blades will pick up a good amount of gunk over time which requires regular wipe-downs (as any bladed fan will). Overall, though, if you're not scared off by the size of the unit and don't mind the steady droning of a fan while sleeping or going about your day, I cannot recommend this product more highly. If it ever ~does~ break down, I will gladly purchase another to replace it!

We ordered 3 of these. Let me start by saying I don't regret it and would order them again. This is a solid fan at a very good price.The assembly could have been easier. Personally, I had no trouble with it. But, what other reviewers say is true about the instructions being awful. My biggest problem with assembly was attaching the front grill to the fans, but that was very minor. It's just tricky lining up the tabs.The lights on it are especially bright at night. I ended up using a few layers of masking tape to dim them because my wife wasn't happy about it. (between us, I didn't care, not a big deal to me).The fan does what a fan is supposed to do and puts out plenty of air. The remote (the reason we got it) is just "LOL" as another reviewer put it. The remote has to be pointing STRAIGHT at the panel, with the panel FACING the remote. And the range is about 2 feet to be reliable. I mean, that's fine for a bed side fan that doesn't move but, eh ... You get what you pay for. It suits my needs. You just need to keep that in mind when positioning it.The fan is, as mentioned in other reviews, very light. That's great for moving it around. Also, keep in mind that weight isn't exactly something you need in a fan since most folks don't move tower fans around a lot or put them in places they can be knocked over. It doesn't mean that this isn't a quality fan. Just mobile. We have 1 fan in a spot that our 100lb dog crashes into a lot (he's dumb, but it's by his pet bed) and it hasn't fallen over yet.Now, my big complaint. This is important for people that sleep with the fan on all night. This is not mentioned in other reviews, either. And I KNOW it's not isolated because I have 3 of these fans (identical, same order) and they all do it. When the oscillating feature is used, there will be a grinding plastic sound every few seconds. What is annoying is that it's not consistent. We run these fans all night while we sleep, and sometimes it starts right away, sometimes it starts after 3 hours, sometimes it behaves and stays quiet. This has been happening since we first got them. No one night is like the one before. You have to be woken up and turn it off when it starts. Due to it being random, I have yet to be able to find exactly what's grinding in there so I can break it down and grease it or something. Irritating.I give it 4 stars overall, considering the price. Would have been five if it didn't randomly start squeaking while oscillating.

Easy to put together. Very few pieces. Works like it should. Nice fan with great side to side turning distribution. Plugged in and worked immediately. Does not come with AAA batteries for remote but I had some on hand. Looks good. Quiet and works good. Would buy again.

ez put together, 10 minutes, have cooling breeze. No tools required, working as designed.

My old Lasko fan finally gave out after nearly 22 years of excellent service. I'm sure if I had cleaned it out regularly, the dust build up wouldn't have killed the motor. RIP my old friend whose sound is sorely missed.In looking for a new fan, I saw this similar design and read many of the reviews to justify a purchase.This was a big mistake.This thing is plastic junk and NOTHING like the fan I recently lost. It's design ensures it'll be in a landfill in 5 years (if I'm lucky).To compare the two:Old: the only plastic parts were the base and the Lasko name plate, which snapped onto the metal grille.New: The only metal part is inside the motor, and you can bet if plastic conducted electricity, Lasko would remove the metal in the motor as well.Old: low setting produced a significant amount of air movement. The blade design was slightly more rounded and angled.New: the low setting is there simply to waste electricity. It barely puts out any air, likely due to the design of these plastic blades. The only noticeable flow I can feel is at the medium level.I do need to emphasize the fan is about 12 feet away from me, which was no issue with the old fan.Old: the noise level was soothing, peaceful, and easily put me to sleep as it was just the "whoosh" sound of moving air. On low, there was no noise at all.New: plastic garbage just rattles, clinks, and vibrates all night long. There's an audible "grind" sound as the blades struggle to push air. It's not coming from the motor, but the actual movement of air. Once you notice this sound, you'll always hear it and it's irritating.I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED so many people rated this plastic piece of junk higher than 1*.Lasko is a US based company which means profits come before customer satisfaction.This product is proof of their business model.For those of you who rated it higher than 1*, you have my sincerest sympathy of missing out on the quality fans this company used to make.

Bought 2 of these during a heat wave for a friend without A/C . Great quality and price!!!

I'm guessing for this kind of price this is the most 'basic' I can get out of a fan, so I'll say it's just an okay fan. It didn't match my expectations but I've lived in a country where fans were a basic, necessary commodity so now I realize maybe the standards are a bit different. It's a lightweight, easy-to-assemble fan, took me about 5 minutes to get it up and running. But because of how easy it is to assemble, it makes you wonder if it will stay upright without problems. The tube is just pushed into the base and requires not much effort to pull out so I was a bit afraid if it might fall once the fan starts running, but nothing has happened yet and it stays sturdy on the ground, and for that I am happy. The whole head of the fan is made out of plastic. Since the fan blades are made out of plastic, don't expect a lot of windpower to come from it. The plastic covers have a weird clunky locking 'mechanism' but they fit well and look like they'll stay locked together for a long time. I'm a bit worried about the motor, though, as what I want from this fan is its number 3 setting (the lesser settings aren't windy enough for me) and I don't really care about the noise but I feel like it's gonna pant from exhaustion soon enough..But it's doing well, for now. If you're not too picky about a fan and just want something decent and easy to assemble, this is for you. But if you're like me and a bit picky with a fan's parts, settings, and durability, I'm afraid your quest does not end here.Update: I move the fan wherever I stay for a long time around the house and the stand really pisses me off every time it dislodges from the base. There's no way to make them stick together decently, as the installation is basically you just stabbing the pole to the base and voila. Besides that the height adjuster thing is sensitive. Sometimes id accidentally bump into or hold the fan and the adjusting pole just drops down. Again, good for the price if it just stays in one corner forever, not for picky, constantly transferring people like me

This is the second Lasko fan I have bought. Works very well. Remote is handy. First fan still working needed another Good fan. This is the one. Easy to assemble. Recommend. Built in US.

I am very disappointed with this purchase. The fan was assembled as instructed, and only worked for 2mins. I noticed the motor became extremely hot and there was a strong burnt smell coming from it, which was very concerning.

Great fan and very convenient with the remote.

silencioso, buen volumen de viento y facil de ensamblar.

Es de fácil armado para su limpiezaNo lo veo tan potente había tenido otros del mismo modelo creo estaban mejores antes
