Lasko Adjustable Pedestal Fan - 18” - 1827 - Black

This fan was a great buy. It's nearly perfect for my own needs, but I'll list its qualities just in case some of them might not work so well for you. It wasn't difficult to assemble. The hardest part was getting the front cage to snap on properly, but even that only took a few tries. And since the cage just hooks together rather than needing screws, popping it off to clean the blade will be a breeze. (Although, there's not much of a hook to those hooks, so I don't plan to pop the cage off any more than I absolutely have to. If those hooks wear down or break, then that's that.) Also, all you need to put it together is your own two hands. No tools needed. It's very powerful. It moves a great deal of air, even on low (I haven't gone past medium yet; I'm afraid it might blow the cat across the room on high!), which is a relief. For two weeks when my A/C was out, I needed a fan that could cool me off even though the air it was moving was hot and humid. This fan blows with such force that even warm air movement is refreshing. And its force means you can set it at a fair distance and still feel it, but it's also strong enough to blow papers and stuff around if they're in the fan's path, even when they aren't particularly close to it. The oscillator has a wide swing to it, about 90 degrees, which I suppose could either be a negative or a positive. If you want it to swing but still stay relatively contained at a small angle, you may not care for this. On the other hand, it's perfect when you have a small area of cool air (like a new portable a/c with a fairly puny blower) and want to distribute it far and wide. The cord is fairly short—rather shorter than I would've liked, honestly. I didn't measure it, but I'd guess it to be maybe 6 feet. That could be a problem if you want to use it in a place without an outlet handy, but a cheap extension cord solved that problem for me. (Incidentally, there is no grounding prong on the plug, so you can use a 2-hole extension cord if necessary.) The pole has a decent amount of extension to it; I'd say you can adjust the height by about a foot and a half. At its tallest, from base to motor is (again, this is an estimate) probably 4-1/2 feet. This makes it pretty versatile; you can stand it on the floor or shorten it and put it on a (large) table. At full length, though, that also makes it a bit top-heavy. It's fine if you leave it alone, but the cat knocked it over when I first put it together and now he's scared of it. It's loud. Even on low it's pretty loud, compared to what I remember my last box fan sounding like. It doesn't bother me at all, but if you're someone looking for a fan for your bedroom, and you need quiet to sleep, you probably won't like this. Seriously, I have a hard time imagining a fan with this small a footprint with as much power as this one has. I wish the cord were a bit longer, like I said, but that's really my only complaint. When the air conditioner died, it was a real lifesaver!

Works well. On the low speed I can feel it 15 feet away. If it's a little warm, I put it on 2 and that's plenty. It could be quieter but the sound helps my dogs sleep.

This fan was a great buy for me. It’s pretty much perfect for my needs, but I’ll break it down in case some of it matters for you. Assembly wasn’t bad. I had a little struggle getting the front grill on, but I was also distracted at the time. No tools needed, everything comes in the box, and once it’s together it feels snug and doesn’t feel cheap even though it’s all plastic. One thing I'm not quite sure on is disasembly when the fan blade inevitably starts getting dust on it. I hated taking my box fan apart with that, but this hopefully wouldn't be too bad. Power-wise, it works great. I basically live on speed 1 since it sits close to my desk, and even then I can feel airflow across the room. If I move about 10 feet away into the living room I still feel it. I’ve only used speed 2 a couple times and it’s more than enough. I can easily move papers from 10-20 feet away on the second speed. I’ve never even needed speed 3. The oscillation feature is actually useful, not just something you ignore. I use it a lot when I don’t want constant airflow but still want the room to stay moving air-wise. The sweep is roughly 90 degrees and does a good job of covering a wide area. The tilt adjustment is another thing I use more than expected. it goes from straight ahead all the way up to pointing straight up. In winter I’ll angle it upward just to circulate air instead of blowing directly on me. It helps even out temps in the room, especially with cold air settling near the floor on laminate flooring. You can also combine tilt and oscillation to spread airflow without sitting in a direct blast. Another fun thing I'll use the tilt for is aiming it straight up and puting stuff on it to dry. Couldn't do that with my old fox fan too well as it would rub against the fan motor, but I'm not finding that I have that problem here with the curved face. You can even combine tilt and oscillation to cover an even wider area and prevent the fan from blowing directly on you if needed. This really comes in handy with that laminate flooring but yet it's 10-20 degrees outside. Keeps that heat very well distributed preventing cold spots in the house. Height adjustment is straightforward. Lowest setting puts it around 2.5 feet from floor to motor, fully extended is about 4.5 feet. That range makes it easy to adjust depending on whether I’m at my desk or just trying to move air around the room. To adjust there is a little rotation thing that squeezes around the pole. Fairly large and easy enough to grip. Cord is about 6 feet. It works, but I do wish it was longer so I could tuck it away better or have more placement options. Not a dealbreaker, just something I noticed when moving it around. Controls. It's simple as can be. You have a spin dial for controlling speed, and then a little pull knobby thing that turns on/off the oscillation. Noise is good. I work from home with my main job as "call center". On speed 1 it’s quiet enough that nobody hears it, even if it’s pointed right at me. Speed 2 is a bit more noticeable for me but still not enough to interfere with calls or hearing people clearly. The other end still has no idea I have a fan going in the room which is nice. I haven’t really used speed 3. Compared to old box fans and especially metal shop fans, this one is much quieter. Overall: Simple, reliable, and works exactly how a fan should. If you just want something that moves air well and doesn’t get in the way, this is a solid pick.

At this price, it is what it is, easy assembly, does its job, good air flow, not that loud as I've read. Yeah it's plastic and it you turn the fan head instead of reachind down and turning the mounting pole or pick the whole thing up and rotate it, you will break the auto swivel motion. Again, look around, not gonna beat this price for the air flow!

Works great! And easy enough to assemble with the good instructions and link to a video (even for someone like me who is not at all handy). Louder than I would like, even set on low, but for this price you can't ask for more.

This is honestly the best fan I’ve ever used. I’ve purchased more than six of them for different houses because the airflow is incredibly strong and effective. They help keep each home comfortable without relying as heavily on the air conditioner, which has helped reduce the power bills. The oscillation circulates air well throughout the room, and the fans have been very reliable for everyday use. I highly recommend them.

Honestly a let down. I bought these because they were a good price and Lasko is a brand I know and have had many fans from. I bought two of these trusting that I was getting good quality and that is not what I got. Both have issues with the front grid of the fan, usually there are clips that will hold it place so it doesn’t end up falling off and you have blades just spinning freely, but there are no clips, they feel like they just kinda sit there, it’s not even a snap in kinda deal, they just sit there. If a toddler went up and pulled on it they would come right off. One in particular is just holding on by the bottom, the top isn’t even touching it’s just floating. That same one makes a horrendous noise while running, it’s sounds like when you put a card in your bicycle spoke, it has quieted down with some use but it’s still there. The only redeeming quality is the amount of air they move, we bought a much more expensive fan a few years ago and needed a new one for our plant seedlings. We ended up putting this one in the bed room because the slowest setting was stronger than our old fans highest setting. Also no weird buttons with features we won’t ever use, just a turn knob for the speed and a pull lever for oscillation. I wish I could rate it better but the front grill construction is horrible and pretty dangerous. 3 stars for the air movement alone.

The fan works great! Not bad for the price. My only complaint is that the instructions were just a picture of the rear grille, nut, blade, spinner, and front grill to be fitted together. A couple of words directing to screw the nut into the rear grille and head assembly together before attaching the blade and screwing in the spinner would have saved some grief. The 1st time I assembled it based on the picture, the fan let out this loud flapping sound with the nut hanging off inside. Then it stopped working. This was described in a couple other customer's reviews. So, I took it apart and started looking at the pieces closely and realized I needed to screw the nut into the rear grille attached to the head assembly before everything else. Then it worked perfectly. I hope this helps the next person that runs into this problem. It's a great fan so far. Not the best manual instructions though.

Muy buen abanico! A pesar de que no tiene control, ss bastante potente y bueno

I was initially skeptical because the blades seemed a bit flimsy but it has turned out to be a great fan. I've had a small Lasko heater for years and it still works great which is the reason I went with the fan. It's a bit more noisy than I'd like but it performs great. When the time is hot and humid and feels like 40 degrees C, it works great to cool down the room. I am pleased with my purchase.

El tamaño es perfecto para casas pequeñas, es muy eficiente en la cantidad de aire, materiales de evidente buena calidad

Me gusta que en verdad es potente y trae tres velocidades. Pero hace muuucho ruido. En verdad no es algo que te deje dormir a gusto o platicar con alguien mientras está prendido. Espero que dure toda la vida ya que por el precio hay muchos con mejores características e incluso más baratos.
