Lasko 16-inch 3-Speed Oscillating Floor Fan with Adjustable Height, Tilt-Back Head, Widespread Oscillation, and Patented Blue Plug Safety Fuse - Black

Yes, six and a half years ago I purchased this fan here on Amazon. I never considered posting a review of it before because, well--it's a fan. It spins around and blows air, as fans do. Then the other night, as I was researching some other electronic appliances for purchase and trying to figure out how well they hold up over time, it dawned on me that this Lasko product deserved a positive review that would hopefully alleviate concerns that others might have on buying such an item sight unseen.The fan was purchased to move the air around in a stuffy upstairs bedroom, while also providing white noise for sleeping. It excels in both respects, although I'd caution that one man's "white noise" is another man's "annoyance"--the unit is hardly silent, and if you plan on using the highest (of three) fan settings you're going to notice the noise. Even on the lowest speed I can see how it could disturb those who prefer dead silence as their background noise. For me this is a positive feature (I struggle to sleep without that steady drone), but if you value silence above all else this is ~not~ the right product for you.Set-up was easy and self-explanatory; I can say this with certainty even after all these years because it does require breaking back down for periodic cleaning. The unit is fairly bulky, particularly regarding the base plate which does a great job of stabilizing the fan even on high speed, but does so at the cost of taking up a sizeable amount of floor space. Fortunately, the included remote control (which has worked flawlessly since purchase with, to the best of my recollection, only two battery changes) means that the fan can be tucked into a corner without concern over being able to reach the controls, with the notable caveat that you cannot remotely change between oscillating and stationary.What I want to stress most of all, though, is that this fan has had ~zero~ mechanical issues over the six and a half years I've owned it. And we're not talking occasional use here, either--between keeping the airflow moving during the day and providing white noise at night, it has been running ~far~ more often than not over these years. During the summer the fan is generally left running (on high) for literally 5-6 MONTHS at a time--not "every night for months", but literally 24 hours a day, every day, for 5-6 months!! I'll be the first to admit that the construction ~feels~ flimsy when you first unpack and assemble it, but the results don't lie: this fan has been unbelievably durable. And not just mechanically, either--even after at least a dozen dis-assemblies for cleaning, the plastic clips which hold the plastic casing in place have held up beautifully as well (I distinctly remember thinking during the first assembly that there was no way those things would last--I was very wrong!).I cannot comment on how well the timer function works as I obviously haven't used it, and as alluded to the blades will pick up a good amount of gunk over time which requires regular wipe-downs (as any bladed fan will). Overall, though, if you're not scared off by the size of the unit and don't mind the steady droning of a fan while sleeping or going about your day, I cannot recommend this product more highly. If it ever ~does~ break down, I will gladly purchase another to replace it!

Great value, it works perfectly and it's completely noiseless, the entire assembly is made of lightweight plastic, and that's a plus and I don't need any heavy duty fan, it does have the perfect looks, quality, and price point. Assembly took me about 3 minutes, I admire the simplicity in the design and the shiny finish on the materials, I really appreciate the timer function (1, 2, 4 hours) and that was the main selling point for me. The remote control is cute and can be held up onto the fan motor casing via the included self-stick, two sided Velcro type attachment which I almost missed. Two remote control AAA batteries are not included, but that's absolutely no problem.I'll order a second unit for my bedroom.

It’s a fan. Nothing about this fan will surprise you if you’ve ever owned a fan before. It has a good motor and a high speed, maintaining consistent air flow without getting hot or petering out. The oscillating function means that you can use it to circulate air in the whole room or, if you prefer, shut that function off and push all air in one steady direction, as required.Personally, I use mine to keep air circulating around my writing desk. To best utilize space in my old, outdated apartment, I needed to put my writing desk at an angle where the central heat and air conditioning don’t move air very effectively. Therefore, to maintain a constant liveable temperature while writing, I need to circulate air into that area. This fan works well for circulating already temperature controlled air.My only objection is, while the oscillating function works well for panning horizontally, it doesn’t have any vertical movement. You can angle the head a little, but not enough to make any difference. Although the pedestal is adjustable, letting you put the fan at the vertical height you need it, once you have it positioned, it stays there. If you need air at an angle, this fan won’t help you.That being said, for its price range, my experiences have been mostly positive. This fan runs quietly, doesn’t consume much energy, and has lasted me several years since I bought it without running down. As long as you don’t need to angle it to blow over or under something, it will serve you well, and probably continue serving a good long time. It’s a mostly positive product for its price.

Not too small and not too big….just right!! Good speed and air circulation!! Light weight. If you want a super quiet fan, this isn’t it BUT I happen to love the small amount of white noise. Get yours before the summer gets closer because these may sell out. I love that it came in white because it helps to make a small room feel not so small. Easy to use and added bonus, come with a remote control. If I needed another fan I would buy again.

Very nice fan. I like the easy to use remote. Fan was very easy to assemble. It is a bit loud sounding. However , I like the background noise. But then again I could sleep through a tornado. Fast shipping. I love it !

Needed fan for second bedroom. This fit the bill. Price was good and easy to put together. Works great.
