Decent fan for the price, February 3, 2010
This review is from: Lasko 1824 18-Inch AdjustablePedestal Fan (Kitchen)
Got this fan to replace a beat up one I'd had for 10 years. I have two needs for a fan, 1) good air circulation through my bedroom and 2) loud enough to act as white noise so I can sleep without all the stuff going on around my place not keeping me up. This fan works ok on both accounts. It blows like a beast but that is to be expected for an 18 inch fan. It is very loud also but not so loud as to be obnoxious.
My only complaint is with the front grill. They manufactured the grill in such a way that it makes a whispering hissing sound on the two highest settings. This can be a bit distracting but I am getting used to it.
A warning also. The grill was bent up a good bit in the box when it arrived. This initially worried me since it's one of the things I'm replacing the old one for. However, I've had the fan running at night for about a week now and the plastic appears to have adjusted back to normal, or at least very close to it.

Noisy, but does the job, November 10, 2009
This review is from: Lasko 1824 18-Inch AdjustablePedestal Fan (Kitchen)
We sleep with this fan on at night. It is pretty noisy, even at the lowest setting. I think the rotor may not be very well balanced (defective product?) But my husband likes white noise while he's sleeping, so he loves it. I sleep with earplugs, so the noise does not bother me.
The fan is pretty powerful, even at the lowest setting.
The stand is quite large, which makes it very stable and unlikely to tip over. A good thing, since we have a 14-month-old baby.
I was a little surprised that the grill was plastic. I guess I've only had fans with a metal grill.

Greatest Cheap Fan - Perfect, July 1, 2010
This review is from: Lasko 1824 18-Inch AdjustablePedestal Fan (Kitchen)
I am living in temporary housing across the country for a few months and it was getting hot at night, so I decided to buy the cheapest fan I could. I purchased this item and haven't regretted it even a bit. At $25, this is a steal seeing as how powerful it is. I usually keep it on low just because high (and sometimes medium) is just too much. I have used fans all my life (need the white noise / cool breeze to sleep) and this fan does everything as advertised beyond expectations. I was originally going to throw it out when I left, but it's such a good fan I am actually considering shipping it back to my house (assuming, of course, shipping is cheaper than buying a new one, which it very well may not be!). Definitely a great purchase. Some may say the plastic feels cheap, but I disagree. It makes the fan easier to move around since it's lighter, and doesn't impact its performance at all.
