i expected better durability out of this fan. It died after just 3 months, and had flow problems from day one. I tried contacting Lasko but got no responses.

I bought 2 of these for my business. I teach an exercise class and we NEED good fans. I liked these because they wouldn't take up a lot of our dance space and would have air blowing over most of a persons body since they are 4' tall. While I thought they were a little wobbly, they worked nicely. One of the bases did break as it often got moved around in the closet of the hall I rented, but I used them the whole first summer and they were great!
Over the winter I moved into my own center and brought these with me. Now that it's summer it's REALLY HOT in my center because I don't have A/C yet. So, I got out the fans. They worked for about 1.5 weeks. Then one of them stopped responding to any of the buttons. It works if you plug it in, but it doesn't oscillate and you can only turn it off by unplugging it. Only days later the same thing happened to the other one.
I am EXTREMELY disappointed considering how much I paid for these fans just over a year ago. I guess in some respects I'm lucky that mine lasted longer than other reviewers, but that's probably due to the fact that I only used them for an hour or two a day 5 days a week last summer and not constantly.
So, I need new fans, but I'm not buying these again. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but it's a shame these didn't last because I really loved them at first.

This fan has nice features and operates very quietly. Seems to be a durability issue with most reviews I've read because mine only made it nine months before konking out.

I bought my first one right after summer of 2006 and use it mainly to move air around in the room (not necessarily for the cooling effect) and it's worked great. When summer 2007 hit, my extended family loved my fan so much, they all bought one. I bought a second 'spare' as well. My 2 are working like a charm and quiet as a mouse, and as far as I know, theirs are working as well... so that's 4 total working great.
Hopefully those who got defected ones were able to exchange them.
All 4 of ours were from Sam's Club.

We've owned our Lasco 48 inch tall fan for 8 months. It is the quietest fan with the greatest amount of air flow of any fan we've owned or encountered. Not sure why others are reporting problems. We move it easily. It takes up less than 1 square foot of floor space, and collects and throws air from ground level where its coolest. The round cage type blades are ultra quiet at low speed; and even on lowest speed, it puts out huge amounts of air. The remote and the ionizer option are both a plus.

I thought this was the best fan ever! Now 10 months after purchase it sits waiting to be picked up as garbage. It just stopped working, no warning... no noises... nothing. Customer service says they do not have service for these because they come from overseas already assembled. Of course the replacement warranty is good for a year, only if you still have the receipt. I will never purchase a Lasko again. Just goes to show ya, all that glitters ain't gold!

I bought 3 of these. Two of the three started ratting like crazy after about 2 months. Like some of the other raters on the Lasko floor fans,I took them apart to try to tighten them up, but to no avail.
Bummer.

FIRST REVIEW EVER. I DON'T BELIEVE THE REVIEWS I AM READING ARE FOR THE SAME FAN AS I HAVE
THE LASKO 4820 48' TOWER FAN IS THE BEST . I HAVE NO AIR CONDITIONING AND THIS SUMMER WAS A ROUGH ONE HERE IN SO. CAL. I BOUGHT 2 ONE FOR MY SON IN AN UPSTAIRS APT AND ONE FOR ME IN A DOWNSTAIRS LARGE APT. THANKS LASKO FOR THE BEST FAN EVER. IT KEPT ME COMFORTABLE THE WHOLE SUMMER AND SAVED IN ELEC (no airconditioner) at times it was on for more than 24 hrs straight. MY MOM CAME OVER LOVED IT AND I AM NOW LOOKING FOR ONE FOR HER AND ANOTHER FOR ME
AND IT'S NOV. CLEAN LOOK, QUIET, DURABLE, REMOTE CONTROL I LOVE IT
