I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase. After trying to find a fan for my office that was quiet, yet still effective, I finally found the perfect match. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a fan to cool down a small space, such as an office or small bedroom.

POSITIVES
Love the color, relatively compact size, and fan speeds. Low is great for desktop or personal fan as long as it's not blowing right on papers. Oscillation makes a good sweep too.

CONS
Too tall if you need this to fit under an overhead bin in an office cubicle. The machine also has a moderately-high pitched whir/whine that is louder than the sound of the air blowing. I returned the first one and the second one was quieter the first time I plugged it in, then just as noisy as the first one. I could hear the whir/whine from another room even on low speed. If your office is not super-quiet or you are not using this as white noise it's still a great choice. Otherwise I'd keep looking.

The Lasko 4000 Oscillating Ultra Slim Fan is perfect for circulating cool air in a small office space. The fan easy fits on a small computer desk, circulates air quietly, and has the benefit of a low and high speed. The slim, small size makes this fan unobtrusive. Very satisfied.

Simple operation. 2-speed super compact low profile oscillating fan. Perfect for smaller rooms and office cubicles. Not an eye-sore, not at all.

Check out the user images above for size comparisons.

There are only 2 buttons:
1st button - 1) Power On/Hi 2) Low speed 3) Off
2nd button - 1) Oscillation On 2) Oscillation Off


Pros:
+ Love its compactness.
+ Very light. Easy to move from room to room.
+ Generally more quiet operation than most fans.
+ Oscillating
+ Only around 23 watts

Cons:
- If you need more wind power, look somewhere else.
- Oscillating range is pretty limited. Maybe just around 10-25 degrees.

Made in China.

The Lasko 4000 isn't a powerhouse of a fan, but its space saving design and reasonable price make for a good value nonetheless. On high, the fan has an effective range of about 3-4 feet. Thus, it's significantly weaker than other similarly priced desk fans. Don't buy this if you're looking for raw power.

However, the Lasko 4000 shines in other areas. It has a tiny 3"x4" footprint, making it easy to find a home on even the most crowded desk. Likewise, the air stream is quite focused, so you won't have to pin down every loose paper on your desk every time you turn it on. It's very quiet on low or high. And oscillation is a feature you won't find on many fans with a footprint this small.

In general, the Lasko 4000 won't cool down an entire room, but it's an ideal desk/cubicle fan for home or office. I've been fairly pleased with it thus far, and the Lasko brand-name means it will probably have a long lifespan.

I used this as a fan between my aquarium surface and the lights above where I needed the slim profile. Don't need/can't use the oscillating feature. The push-button on/off is nice. They are a little noisy when on high speed (2 speeds), but not too bad.

For 2 years I have worked in an office where war has been fought over the ambient temperature. Some like it cool and some like it very hot. I am a "like it cool" dude.

Now that spring is here, the war is back on this soldier is sick of fighting. I decided to buy a fan, but (darn) which one? It seems there are millions out there. After reading reviews, I decided to purchase this fan.

It arrived and I was initially put-off by its small size. Don't let the small size fool you. This fan, on the slow speed, moves ample air and is whisper quiet. It does the job and does it well. Now I am not as warm and am uber content not being caught up in the temperature battles.

I do not recommend this Lasko if you sleep with a fan at night. It has 2 speeds and is too quiet at the lowest speed to provide the "white noise" that us urban dwellers around the world have come to rely on.

Overall, 2 thumbs up, way up, on this fan as an office companion

Pros:
1) QUIET
2) Moves ample air
3) Small and takes up little desk-top real estate
4) Attractive
5) Oscillates

Cons:
1) Not loud enough to sleep with (only a con if you want night noise)

It's small, looks nice, it makes just the right amount of white noise for me (I use it at night in the summer), and works just as I had expected. The only downside for me is the light on the power button - it's bright if you use it at night in your bedroom. I'm not sure why they put that in, but I just covered it with a small piece of duct tape.

The fan is exactly what I expected from the pictures and other reviews: small footprint, oscillating, etc. What I didn't expect is how noisy it is. I am really shocked by the level of noise this fan creates. In a work/cubicle environment, it's definitely not tolerable.

Bought this fan to use as a small desk fan in my bedroom during the warmer summer months. I feel as though this fan makes too much noise for the amount of air it circulates so I never sleep with it on. The "high" setting is not that high and the low is very, very low. Still a fine fan and I use it quite often, but I cannot overlook the noise level.
