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.

So let me just preface everything by saying for the price, this is not a bad fan. It's ability to move air, in my opinion, more than makes up for the noise. When I first got it and set it up, I was impressed with just how much air this thing could move. It wasn't until the following morning when I went to go turn it off that I realized it was only on it's lowest setting. Pros: AIR FLOW As mentioned above, this fan moves air and it's effective in doing so. Even the lowest setting is stronger than the high settings on many fans I've owned. If you need strong air circulation in a small room, this fan will accomplish that. LIGHTWEIGHT Since the materials on the fan are aluminum and light-weight plastic, the entire fan is very light and easy to move around. It has a pretty wide base (20") to keep it from blowing itself over. ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT The height can be adjusted using a twisting lock on the pole. Since the fan is so light, you shouldn't need to worry about the fan slipping down over time. EASY TO ASSEMBLE/CLEAN The whole fan arrives in pieces, so you do need to put it all together. The fan comes with an instruction manual and takes about maybe 5 minutes max to assemble. No screws, bolts, hex keys, etc. required. Also makes it really easy to clean this fan if it starts to collect dust, pet hair, etc. Cons: NOISE While not as loud as a metallic industrial fan, this model definitely makes some noise. The lowest setting isn't too bad, but the highest setting can be pretty loud. Easily one of the loudest fans I've ever owned. If you work at home or are using this in any area where you're making calls, I would not recommend having this blowing in your general direction. QUALITY The quality of the plastic in the build is somewhat mid. The guards on the front and back of the fan are made of a thin and flexible plastic which can easily be knocked out of alignment and "unsnap" which could become an issue if the fan is on. Don't expect this thing to be able to take hits. LIMITED VERTICAL RANGE OF MOTION For a standing fan, it lacks the ability to be angled downwards. It can point at an upward angle, but if you need the fan to point anywhere below it's default setting, you'll need to lower the height of the pole. SHORT POWER CORD The power cord is pretty short, so unless you have an extension cord available, this fan will need to live fairly close to the outlet. Overall: It's a powerful fan and it won't break the bank. If you just need a decent fan that's going to circulate a lot of air in a room very quickly without spending $80+ on a higher end model, this is a good option.

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

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

The People Who Sent Back Fans Based Off That Are Truly Missing Out On Quality Product, Optimal Performance & Stellar Customer Care, Should You Need To Contact Them. Arrived With Safe & Quick Delivery, Well Packaged.

I mean it's a fan, it does move air. But it doesn't fit together well, the front piece of the fan surround is constantly falling out, if not off completely, exposing the blades. The quality is not good. Save your money and try and find another fan of better quality.

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.
