When it came time to turn my neighbor on to this fan I was distressed to read the two reviews that were already published (both from purchasers who obtained theirs from other stores?). Last year I purchased two of these for my apartment in San Diego . . . and then the longest, hottest two weeks that we have seen in years hit. These two were operating 24/7, moved around a lot, etc. and worked flawlessly. They never got put away and I have used them to circulate air during the Winter as well and they are still cooking along flawlessly. That's not one, but two, and they work and last great!

We purchased a Honeywell Tower Fan and this Lasko fan. We use the Lasko in the bedroom. What a difference it is from a box fan. It is very very quiet. The sleep setting is perfect because you can choose how long to have it running after you go to bed. Even if we keep it on all night, I wake up in the morning not feeling like I've listening to a fan roar all night long. We can't use it on ocillate - it makes a sound when it goes back and forth. Even so, it still gives us both (and 2 dogs!) plenty of direct air flow without the ocillation feature. I JUST bought another for my office.

As with the reviewer above, I purchased this fan from another store and it worked well at first. The remote was a nice touch and the fan speeds and settings worked well. However within 4 months of owning it, when we tried to have it rotate, it turns slightly, gets stuck, and proceeds to just make a clicking sound until you stop it from rotating. Needless to say it no longer rotates, so it is now just a stationary fan. I even tried taking it apart to unjam it, but came to discover that the rotating gear was already worn down and that was the problem, so without new parts it could not be fixed. Buy another fan if you want it to last, I know I am.

I ordered the lasko fan and it came in six days. Although there were some adverse comments about the fan on the seller's site, I ordered it anyway. I have used it only for a month, but so far, it has worked great. It has saved using our window air conditioner numerous times.

bought 3 fans already, 1 for me and 2 for friends, they all see mine and want one. buying the 4th one now,best fan around, had mine for 3 years and no problems.

I was disappointed to see the day after I purchased this, it went down almost 20.00. I called Amazon and they made it right and gave me the difference quite promptly. Now back to the product; this fan works excellent and cools even big areas. I love the remote control feature with timer as well. I plan to purchase another soon.

I bought this item for my dorm room. So far I haven't been able to use it there for school doesnt start back for another 20 days but for the last month it has been a nice addition to my bed room at home. I run it every day and so far it hasnt let me down. For a girl it was a new experience to assemble the stand, but I got it done. I was surprised at how easy the assembling was!

The fan is quiet, works well and is unobtrusive. We particularly love the small footprint. A remote's even included, though we have no need.

We got this fan for my wife's "snuggery," a converted porch that's long and narrow, and has a window AC at the far end. Even with a ceiling fan, the place gets warm in the summer sun (the unshaded end of the house, for sure), and the AC is too far away to really help much. The fan takes up so little space that we can place it midway from the AC to the loveseat where she sits to knit and watch TV, and the cooling effect is pronounced, all without giving up much space (or sacrificing another window to an AC).

It's perfect for what it's made for, quiet, efficient, and small in footprint. We like it a lot.

We picked up this model early last fall at an end-of-season clearance sale. It has worked perfectly as a staionary and as an oscillating fan. This fan has defintely earned its keep this long, hot summer, and I'm picking up another one for additional cooling throughout the house next summer. Highly recommended.
