Lasko Elegance and Performance Pedestal Stand Fan, 3-Speeds, 90 Degree Oscillation, Adjustable Height, Timer, Remote for Indoor, Bedroom, Living Room, Home Office, Dorm Use, 18 Inch, White, 1850

very happy with this fan! It works really well and is surprisingly quiet, which is exactly what I was looking for. It has great airflow without being loud or annoying, especially at night. The quality is great for the price, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, powerful fan!

I was given this same style Lasko fan 13 years ago as a gift, and I have used it since for at least five months out of the year and ran it pretty much day and night to help augment and substitute for a portable air conditioner in my bedroom. I bought this new model because I was fearful the older one might give out--and it has been such a help and comfort that I didn't want to have to go without for any length of time. The new one is just as nice; maybe the base isn't quite as heavy as the older model and it isn't whisper quiet on the lowest setting like the older one--but I like it very much. It was really easy to put together ( no tools required), but I would advise anyone to really carefully read the instructions. When you go to install the pole into the base, you have to twist it as you place it in the base so that it will stay secure when you have the fan all put together. Also, it makes it easier to adjust the height if you place your knee on the base as you work with the adjustment nut to lower or raise the height of the fan--and hold the small pole tightly if you already have the fan motor installed! The only complaint I have are the silly plastic tabs you have to snap in when you are performing the last step in installing the front grille to the back one; it took me longer to figure how to get that done than it did to assemble the whole fan. I must say my older fan is just the same way; it helped me to have the fan raised up to a comfortable height and I could work my way around it; I hope I don't have to do that part anymore! I still give the fan five stars though, IF it lasts the way my old one has. It works really well, the remote is really nice--and it really pushes out the air. If it gives me trouble, I will edit this review.

I actually bought two of these Lasko fans, and overall I'm really happy with them. They move a surprising amount of air, they're sturdy, and they were easy to put together. Now... one of them is whisper quiet. The other? Let's just say it doesn't turn on so much as it announces its arrival. 😂 Every time I hit the power button, it sounds like a diesel truck trying to start on a cold winter morning. I'm attaching a video because words simply cannot do it justice. The funny part is that after the dramatic entrance, it settles down and works just fine! So I'm swapping the loud one into my living room and keeping the quiet one in my bedroom. Would I buy these again? Absolutely. But if your fan greets you with the enthusiasm of a 1987 pickup truck, don't be alarmed... it might just have a big personality. Five stars for airflow. Four stars because my fan apparently identifies as a Cummins diesel.

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!

I was hesitant to order it because people had bad reviews on it but I took a chance. At first I thought I had made a mistake because the remote control wasn’t working well, but come to find out my husband hadn’t put in fresh batteries. Once he changed them to new batteries, it worked great. I’m used to having the hum of a fan to fall asleep and this one is perfect. It’s not too noisy though it’s just right. It works really smoothly and has 3 speeds. All the speeds work well. The air flow on the highest speed is surprisingly strong. Not like a “vornado” but good enough without the “vornado” price. I needed a fan that wasn’t too tall as I like to have the fan air hit my face while lying in bed and this one is perfect. The lowest height it adjusts to hits at just the right height as my pillow on my bedside. I recently had surgery and couldn’t be getting out of bed to be turning a fan on and off, so the remote control functionality of this fan is very practical. I’m very happy with it and glad I got it.

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.

The item arrived when it was supposed to. I was not expecting more than a mediocre fan, and I got what I expected. I do NOT recommend purchase. First, they do not provide detailed instructions. They force you to a video on YouTube that is very generic. What limited instructions they do have in the user manual are not much help. Don't get me wrong, it was easy to assemble, but I do not appreciate having to get out my phone, scan a QR code, and go to YouTube. The plastic fan protective case feels like it will fall apart. It's cheap plastic. There is no was to secure the remote to the fan, so it can easily get lost. The cord is way too short to be of any use. We'll have to see how quiet it is. I'm not expecting miracles. My recommendation is do not buy.

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.

Vale la pena lo recomiendo

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.

Buen ventilador para cuartos no tan grandes, personalmente no se me hace tan ruidoso a comparación de otros ventiladores, es fácil de armar y aunque sus materiales parecen de baja calidad, no dan problema alguno.

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.
