Lasko 3300 Wind Machine Air Circulator Portable High Velocity Floor Fans, for Indoor Home Cooling Breezes and, White Noise in Bedroom

My family and I own a lot of fans, from commercial fans to 1hp carpet blowers. We also own several of these Lasko Wind Machines. I like them for several reasons. 1. Quality for the price. Normally I can purchase this model (one of the 3300 series) locally for about $40. $50 isnt a bad price to get it delivered to an elderly parents front door. Quality meaning: they work and continue to work well for many years with little maintenance. 2. Powerful for the price, construction and weight. Its a 10-pound fan that pushes as much cfm as many of my much higher priced metal commercial models that cost at least 2-3x as much. 3. I feel theyre safe. As long as I keep the air-intake free of dust, they never run hot. I have left these running continuously for months without any issues. Every time I vacuum, I clean the fan. I use the large dust brush on the outside and a crevice dusting brush to reach inside. Once a year, I remove the back and give it a good cleaning. Takes a small amount of time. Lasko does not publish the CFM for many (if any) of their fans. Ive seen several responses to the question on different websites about the CFM of the 3300 and they vary. Presently, I am attempting to get Amazon to contact Lasko for the info. ========== Just beware, Lasko customer service is basically non-existent. Over the last few days, I called 1-800-233-0268 six times. My shortest wait time was 24 minutes, my longest wait was 52 minutes. They have not replied to my email placed on their contact page. I had a similar experience in July of 2013 after purchasing a couple of their 4900 fans. Their fans are great but if you have an issue, make sure you return the fan to Amazon before the 30 day return period ends.

Good power

I read so many great reviews about this but one stood out the most because the reviewer posted a great video of the fan. I was going to buy it from Amazon when I got back home but happened to stop in a riteaid drugstore and signed up for their wellness card and recieved an instant $25.00 off AWESOME I am naturally very hot and have my ac running during the winter, so I figured Ill buy it just 3 blocks from home and if Im not happy with it Ill return it. Well, this fan is FANTASTIC, Ive used all 3 settings and am very impressed with how well it moves the air around. I always set my AC at 63-64 65-66 during the winter. With this fan I have my AC set at 66-67 and the fan set at 1 and I feel fantastic, it was 97 the other day and had the setting at 2 and my ac on 66 and actually put a shirt on and set the fan on setting 1 . Thats pretty impressive coming from a person that CANT HANDLE HEAT AT ALL 2 ADDENDUM - 2017 , ORIGINAL FAN PURCHASED IS WORKING FINE HOWEVER, I PURCHASED ANOTHER IT ARRIVED WITH NOTHING TO PROTECT IT FROM BEING BOUNCED AROUNCED DURING TRANSPORT VIEW PHOTO, THIS IS BEING RETURNED . With the ac off I had it turned up to 3 and it has an amazing wind force but you do need the AC for the cold air. So the two make a great marriage and I save money on my energy bill. Very easy to clean the blades, you just unloosen the sides and pull the front off. Its very lite-weight and the handle on top is an added bonus. It does shake when set above 1 but not much and has a nice whisper sound which comforts me. I have a $300.00 bladeless fan I purchased last year and this blows it out of the water. Had I purchased it on Amazon for the 50% more I would have still been thrilled and Im buying another just to keep in another room or as a backup. Perfect name for it, it really is a heck of a wind machine.

This is the 2nd fan I bought. Failed after a couple years, but the fan pretty much runs year round. Not as quite as I would like, but air volume is something Im happy with. I would buy this again.

I initially wanted a fan with a remote, but ordered this one anyway to replace an older Lasko fan. I would have kept the fan anyway, but it was way too loud (drowned out the TV, etc.) and even the lowest speed produced too much air for use in our bedroom. It would be a great fan for outdoor use though. Didnt care for the fact I had to pay for return shipping, but I should have realized that before purchasing it.

I wanted a fan that would block out the noise from people partying late at night in my apartment complex and this fan accomplishes that perfectly. Very rarely have to use the 3rd speed as 2 is enough. The 1st speed will give you a nice semi-quiet breeze but it also blocks out people talking outside of my windows. The things you have to do to get some peace but Im so glad I bought this fan as it does everything I want it to do. Also, its very light and portable. You can put it almost anywhere.

Does the job well!

Fan cools a room quickly.

Great Fan. It moves the air well. It Changed My Life!

Not easy to take apart and clean- otherwise great product
