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

I am sending this back. Its homely, too big in its footprint, and really junky in its plastic construction. Truly unattractive. Im buying a tower fan instead and in addition maybe an air purifier. And - BUYER BEWARE - the company that sends this fan out notes that you cannot use the fan, not even to try out the wind (!!), if you are going to send it back. They stipulate for returns that the fan must not be used, must be packaged in the original packaging, and so on. But jeeezzuss! you cant even turn the fan on and direct it at your bed to test the wind strength? Gimme a break.

Effective in circulating/cooling. Lightweight yet strong. My third such fan over the past 10 years. Only drawback is that it’s difficult to clean the blades.

After hunting at Wal-Mart, Target, and local stores for this fan of the gods, I turned my search to the internet. Alas my only hopes seemed to be Lowes or Home Depot. On either site the price was amidst double what I would normally pay, but these werent normal circumstances. My trusty wind machine had bit the dust after 3 years of nightly bliss. Its blades purring methodically as the gentle breeze lulls me to sleep. No! I must have a replacement now! Added to my cart, I could feel my sleep slipping away when I read the dates for pick-up. The shipping seemed to be a too far away and a few days without sleep is too much! Finally a voice called out from behind me. Was it the voice of an angel guiding me to those brisk winds of serenity? I heard the voice say, Try Amazon. And indeed I did. I clicked the button and felt my eyes well with tears of joy, I added an extra to my cart just in case. Then guided myself to the proceed to check out where I found one day shipping available! My salvation and breath restored, I now sleep under a blanket of security knowing I have my beautiful dream maker (and an extra in the closet). Heed caution and purchase this fan today before its too late and you find yourself in the same tale of woe as I experienced that horrible night the fan died!

Been using this brand of fan for years. All others were useless wastes of money. My only complaint is that the local drugstore sold these for about $20 a piece. Now its twice that. Hence only four stars. But theyre still worth it. You want wind? This is it. Most fans make noise but dont do much. I hate being hot. I know what works.

I have owned this fan for 4+ years and it is one of the best fans Ive owned. Lasko has a good reputation that is well deserved considering all the Lasko products Ive owned have lasted years. I originally bought this to bring cooler air from the hallway into the bedroom. Soon after I got it, my pedestal fan stopped working. Since my bedroom gets A LOT of sun I use a fan all year, so Ive been using it on top of a hamper (and still use it) almost every night for about 4 years and Ive had no issues with it. It does make a bit of noise but its a proportionate amount of noise which is to be expected from a wind machine and any high velocity fan. It is high velocity but I would consider it at the lowest end. I had expected it to be much stronger than it is. My favorite thing about the fan is how easy it is to clean. I have pets and live in a wooded area so dust, dirt, and fur is a constant struggle, even with a strong air purifier. With the removal of 6 small screws I have it apart and am able to clean the blades and the grill.

Not easy to take apart and clean- otherwise great product

Really nice and large fan with really high fan speeds. 3 speed, fully adjustable front to back. On low its fairly loud but not terrible, on high its quite loud but its also blowing serious wind on high. Its much larger than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I use it primarily to cool off my motorcycles and at the track so the extra long cord with high power speeds will really come in handy. Cant speak to its durability yet, its made fully out of plastic but the build feels pretty solid. Arrives fully assembled and ready to go. Id recommend for work areas or large rooms for circulation, but for a personal fan next to your bed, this may be a bit much considering its size and strength. Nearly an industrial level of fan speed on high setting, comparing this to my floor blowers which I was using prior to this.

Nice white noise and breeze for optimal sleeping

This fan is lightweight and easy to move around with the top handle. Yes, it will cool the room off which is what I wanted. If you are looking for background noise this is your fan. It easily rotates up and down using the side knobs. The on and off switch is cleverly hidden, unmarked in the back behind the blade hub. This fan however has an issue with shaking while in use. Placed on a level surface at lowest speed it is loud and the entire fan vibrates. On high it vibrates so much that you can hardly read wind machine. Sleep with it, not likely. Its hard to tell how durable it is. It does not appear well made. There are many unfinished sharp edges where the two colors of plastic come together. Update: I returned the above fan for free and was sent a new one within a week. The new fan does not vibrate when in use. It is a bit loud for my likes but it gets the job done even on low. It would make great white noise for those that want it. It definitely cools a room. On the new model received there were no sharp edges. scuffs or dirt as on the previous fan. I am pleased with how this was handled and the function of the fan overall. I would recommend this fan.

I bought this to replace the same model and make fan that I had for many years. I run it all night long. Not only for white noise but temperature control. If you tilt it you can change the temperature in your room
