Lasko Pedestal Fan, Oscillating Fan for Bedroom with Adjustable Height and 3 Cooling Speeds, Portable, 18", Black, 1827

I bought this fan to replace a fan that died after many, many years; it speaks to its durability. It served me so well that I bought the same fan again. The fan is a little noisy, but no more than any fan I've had in the same price range. It doesn't wake me up or keep me awake. As you turn the level down, it gets quieter and quieter. It is set at the height I want it to be, and it doesn't slide down. It blows strongly and keeps me cool. I seldom have to turn on the air conditioner, and that saves a lot of money. I've had this fan for about three months now, and it is performing as well as the previous fan. I'm sure it will last at least as long as the previous fan. I don't have a remote control and I don't need one.

I grow most of our veggies and herbs in our large 2-room basement. Since the LED lights in both rooms generate heat, fans are necessary to move the warm air and pull in cooler air from outdoors. In addition, some plants, such as tomatoes require a breeze to help pollinate the flowers for fruit production. This reduces the need for hand pollination. I currently have 3 Lasko of these pedestal fans that I bought 5 1/2 years ago, and all of them are still working fine. So, what do I love about these Lasko pedestal fans? 1) The 18" size is plenty large to move a good volume of air especially on the 3rd speed. 2) There are 3 speeds to choose from that can be changed with a dial on the back of the fan. 3) They can be used with or without oscillation by pulling up or pushing down a lever on the top of the fan. 4) The fan can be adjusted up or down to direct air flow toward the ceiling or multiple lower levels. 5) All of the Lasko fans easily disassemble for thorough cleaning and are easy to put back together. 6) I bought the model without the remote control since I use these fans on the same timers that control the lighting. The remote control models will not work with a timer. 7) Considering the functionality, ease of use, and longevity of the Lasko fans, I believe they are a good value. I would definitely recommend this fan if you are in need of a pedestal fan. I will update this review if my opinion changes for this specific fan. I hope this review was helpful for you.

This pedestal fan has been such a reliable addition to my home. The airflow is strong even on the lowest setting, and the oscillation helps cool the whole room evenly. I really like that you can adjust both the height and the tilt of the fan, it makes it easy to get the air moving exactly where you need it. Assembly was simple and took just a few minutes. The base feels sturdy and balanced, so it doesn’t wobble or make too much noise when it’s running. It’s lightweight enough to move from room to room, which I do often during the summer. Durability-wise, it’s held up well even after regular use. The black finish looks sleek and doesn’t collect dust as easily as I expected. It’s not silent, but the sound is more of a soft hum, perfect for background noise at night.

Fan has been working well for a few months. Price was ok. Assembly is quite easy. Airflow is great. I ordered the manual model not the remote control model. My only issue is the motor makes a noticeable humming noise. I have owned many prior versions of this unit so I know this is not normal for a lasko.

This fan was a great buy. It's nearly perfect for my own needs, but I'll list its qualities just in case some of them might not work so well for you. It wasn't difficult to assemble. The hardest part was getting the front cage to snap on properly, but even that only took a few tries. And since the cage just hooks together rather than needing screws, popping it off to clean the blade will be a breeze. (Although, there's not much of a hook to those hooks, so I don't plan to pop the cage off any more than I absolutely have to. If those hooks wear down or break, then that's that.) Also, all you need to put it together is your own two hands. No tools needed. It's very powerful. It moves a great deal of air, even on low (I haven't gone past medium yet; I'm afraid it might blow the cat across the room on high!), which is a relief. For two weeks when my A/C was out, I needed a fan that could cool me off even though the air it was moving was hot and humid. This fan blows with such force that even warm air movement is refreshing. And its force means you can set it at a fair distance and still feel it, but it's also strong enough to blow papers and stuff around if they're in the fan's path, even when they aren't particularly close to it. The oscillator has a wide swing to it, about 90 degrees, which I suppose could either be a negative or a positive. If you want it to swing but still stay relatively contained at a small angle, you may not care for this. On the other hand, it's perfect when you have a small area of cool air (like a new portable a/c with a fairly puny blower) and want to distribute it far and wide. The cord is fairly short—rather shorter than I would've liked, honestly. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it to be maybe 6 feet. That could be a problem if you want to use it in a place without an outlet handy, but a cheap extension cord solved that problem for me. (Incidentally, there is no grounding prong on the plug, so you can use a 2-hole extension cord if necessary.) The pole has a decent amount of extension to it; I'd say you can adjust the height by about a foot and a half. At its tallest, from base to motor is (again, this is an estimate) probably 4-1/2 feet. This makes it pretty versatile; you can stand it on the floor or shorten it and put it on a (large) table. At full length, though, that also makes it a bit top-heavy. It's fine if you leave it alone, but the cat knocked it over when I first put it together and now he's scared of it. It's loud. Even on low it's pretty loud, compared to what I remember my last box fan sounding like. It doesn't bother me at all, but if you're someone looking for a fan for your bedroom, and you need quiet to sleep, you probably won't like this. Seriously, I have a hard time imagining a fan with this small a footprint with as much power as this one has. I wish the cord were a bit longer, like I said, but that's really my only complaint. When the air conditioner died, it was a real lifesaver!

Excellent fan and is worth the money .Easy to put together .A little noisy but moves alot of air.

I was initially skeptical because the blades seemed a bit flimsy but it has turned out to be a great fan. I've had a small Lasko heater for years and it still works great which is the reason I went with the fan. It's a bit more noisy than I'd like but it performs great. When the time is hot and humid and feels like 40 degrees C, it works great to cool down the room. I am pleased with my purchase.

Very easy to assemble. Great air flow. A little loud but that's what I was looking for!

Me gusta que en verdad es potente y trae tres velocidades. Pero hace muuucho ruido. En verdad no es algo que te deje dormir a gusto o platicar con alguien mientras está prendido. Espero que dure toda la vida ya que por el precio hay muchos con mejores características e incluso más baratos.

Powerful but loud. This fan seems well made and has good airflow. It is, however, loud with a noticeable loud drone which makes it unsuitable for a bedroom at night.
