Amazon Basics 3-Speed Box Fan for Bedroom, Portable with Carry Handle, Powerful Airflow, 5 Blades, Lightweight Design, 67 Watts, 20-Inch, Black, 6.8"D x 20.86"W x 21.33"H

After my most recent Lasko box fan's switch shorted out, literally arcing, I was in the market for a new fan to help regulate my quirky body temperature. (I can't remember the last time I was comfortable without a box fan handy! First world problems, am I right?) At first I was just going to continue the endless cycle of household Lasko fans that my family has dealt with for many years, so long in fact, that we have a "graveyard" of fans in the garage from which we can draw parts for the darned things. That's neither here nor there, but is, if that makes sense? Anyway! After looking at the prices though & spotting this cost effective Amazon Basics fan, I thought, why not give one of these a try? When it arrived I was charmed by it's sleek looks. It's the same size as the model of fan I was used to using. The power level was easily on par with, if not superior to the model that I was used to using. Quality wise though, that's where it really shined! Lasko fans are notorious for their cheap plastic legs (feet?) breaking if it suddenly gets mildly offended at something you say in it's direction. After which time you have to either buy costly replacements or prop the thing up, blocking part of the airflow, but saving the money. This model of fan won't ever have that problem though. It has good quality one piece legs that screw into the bottom of the fan that support it both from the front & the back. These will not snap even if it gets tipped over. I think I fell in love with it just over that one point alone! It also doesn't have the protruding handle & dial on top of the fan. Instead the dial is flush with the face of the fan in the upper right hand corner but doesn't impede the airflow as far as I can tell. Portability isn't lost with this model either. The handle is moved to an out of the way position at the top/back of the fan, with a minimal profile to prevent blocking airflow, which allows you to easily move it when necessary. Furthermore, with the dial & handle moved away from the top of the fan, it makes it far more convenient for putting this fan in the window. The only detracting value I can possibly see in this fan would be for those whom use fans to generate white noise. The noise level produced by this fan is negligible when compared to it's contemporary Lasko fan models, so you might want to keep that in mind when shopping. For me, this is a non-issue, so my sleep quality is perfect with my beloved new Amazon Basics fan!

We purchased 2 of these fans. Very efficient, quiet background sound, steady, convenient grab handle. Lightweight. Reliable. These fans ran nonstop for three days during a heat wave circulating the air constantly on high power. No overheating. No faltering. They can be placed anywhere in your house. Very satisfied.

Compared to the cheap Lasko fans available at Walmart and Home Depot this fan is more quiet on the high setting that the cheap Lasko is on the low setting. On low the airflow is still good and you can watch TV or have. Conversation over the low noise, something not possible with the Lasko. The frame is plastic unlike the metal frame of the Lasko and the 3-speed switch is located up in the corner of the front grille instead of on top. Also there isn't a protruding handle on top, it's built into the top face of the back grille. I was looking to get a more quiet box fan and this on fits the bill!

it is a flimsy floor fan that tips over if even the slightest touch addendum: I gave it an unfair rating as when I looked in the box I saw that there are feet to install which will stabilize it so its my fault that it was unstable, I give it a 4 star now, not 5 because I think it does not cool so well but otherwise for price fine

Perfect fan for me. I love it! Works really well. Three settings. I love it on the third setting and it is perfect. It is loud but I don't mind because I like the sound of the fan

This fan does not blow out a lot of air.

Bought this to put on our porch at our apartment. Between the gardening, unwanted bugs, and sweat inducing heat, we needed something for us to cool off and deter bugs from where we were relaxing. Enter this box fan. It sits outside on our porch, and there have been no issues. It works like a dream, and every time we use it I mention how great of a purchase it was. It cools off your area quickly, has multiple settings for preference, and is plenty powerful, even on a hot August midday. It doesn’t take up too much room, and can easily be stored away if needed.

A powerful, relatively quiet box fan! Good for normal amounts of use and good for the price. Bought this almost a year ago and unfortunately (possibly because of heavy nonstop use) I am having to replace it. It's not broken and hasn't weakened, however it started squeaking about a month ago and it has steadily gotten worse. It doesn't squeak constantly (more like half the time) but the sound is extremely irritating. I bought some fan-appropriate oil, hoping it was an easy fix, however after opening up the fan (about 12 or 13 screws, Phillips head), found the I could not remove the fan blades from the mechanism used to spin them, even after unscrewing the knut holding the blades in place. I was unable to reach the appropriate part to apply oil because of this construction issue, meaning the squeaking was unfixable. Already ordered a new fan. Again, this fan is really great for the price, but be aware it is not made to be self-repairable. If it starts to squeak after heavy use, you may not be able to do anything about it.

A veces siento que da más calor que frescura. Ni por tenerlo montado en la ventana.
