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

We ordered these to be sent to a family member that lives 1800 miles from here in the southwest. The temperature has been extrememly hot...well over 100 degrees. Plus, living in a very rural area on a dirt road theres been no way to escape the heat. After reading through a hundred + reviews we decided to purchase 2 of these Lasko Wind Machines. Oh my! The difference was nothing less than extraordinary. We were told all she had to do was plug them in. The difference it made with the children was what all parents desire...for the children to be comfortable, happy, plus able to sleep undisturbed. To simply say THANK YOU is an understatement of vast proportions. Our only regret is that we hadnt thought of this sooner. We definitely recommend THIS brand. Simply put, they are the best. Kindest Regards hal & Michelle

The air in our 1,000 sq ft apartment gets stale and I am not a fan of air conditioning. We have a/c but I prefer a fan to move the air. So I bought two of these fans. One for the living room and one for the bedroom where there is no a/c. The base of these fans is wide and sturdy. I have one fan in the living room on the floor where it can tilt up and move the air. It is handy for air drying clothes on an indoor umbrella clothes line when you cant put the clothes outdoors (like we cant) and dont want to scorch the clothes in the dryer. It moves the air around the clothes enough so they dry faster than without the fan and doesnt allow for a musty scent on humid days. The fan in the bedroom is sitting on top of an aquarium tank cover to save floor space and titled slightly downwards into the room. The cord to fan is adequate, neither too long nor too short. The control mechanism is in the back of the fan and it is easy to use. Just turn the knob. Fan blades are well protected from little hands and paws which was important with a curious cat around. I really like the power of these fans even at lowest setting. As far as noise, my hepa air filters are louder so I dont really notice if the sound is loud or not. My upstairs neighbors in the apartment are louder than anything we have in the house except for maybe the vacuum.

Lots of air you can feel. Dislike price, i think $35 would be a good price for this fan, $50 is too much.

My fav. brand. Well made and sleek looking. Mainly use it as a noise neutralizer but also even on the lowest setting provides a soothing sustained breeze!

My 16 turbo fan finally quit on me right in the midst of a SoCal heatwave so it had to be replaced as quickly as possible. We used an inexpensive box fan we had to start with but had to be on high speed in order to tolerate the heat & that means a lot of noise. I decided to give this fan a try & I am so glad I did! We dont have a working a/c right now & with 4 kids in college this year, it will remain unrepaired for a few more years. This fan is for the master br which unfortunately is the hottest room in the house since its upstairs & faces south. The fan arrived completely put together, just needed plugging in & turning on. And what a nice breeze it puts out, even on low speed. It is positioned in front of the window by the bed so it can bring in the cooler night air & just move the air around in the daytime. It runs 24hrs a day & is fairly quiet for a fan its size but it isnt silent by any means. Ive never had a fan that is silent. The temp the 1st few days we had it were in the mid 90s & made it tolerable to be in the room only using the medium speed which is a relief knowing I can go to the high speed if needed next time were over a 100 again. We usually turn it down to low for sleeping as the outside temp drops a lot at night. Its not a/c but so far, its the best fan Ive used since the a/c broke 6yrs ago. Weve had all styles of fans & the last one, a turbo fan was the best until this one. Very glad we tried it & absolutely recommend it.

I like this fan, especially the white noise when I fall asleep. But, it stopped working and only came with a 1 year warranty. I was surprised by how little of a warranty it has when Vornado has a 3 year warranty. This thing is well built but did not last long. Disappointed.

Like so many others during this HOT Summer, our home air conditioning just couldn’t keep a comfortable temp in our home. We added two of these Wind Machines in our home, and combined with our home cooling system, we’ve been able to maintain more comfortable temps. I can highly recommend these fans!

I bought this fan on the way to my dads house, Spring 2012, because I live in WA state and he lives in GA and he needed me to stay with him a while. I bought it from a local retailer, but its the exact same fan. From day one Ive referred to it as my man-made cyclone - funny as the company now calls the new model the Cyclone. This fan is the only reason Ive been able to exist here in the deep south. I wound up having to stay with my dad - both :) and :( - and this fan has run nearly every day since purchase and is still going strong. I do take it apart every spring and clean it good. It isnt hard and all I do is use the brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner on the motor section. I even wash the fan without the motor with soap and water in the bath tub and semi do the same to the back without getting the motor wet. I think the annual cleaning has kept the bearings from wearing out. This fan is the best air mover Ive ever owned - so, I have to wonder what people are comparing this fan too when they say it barely moves air - an industrial warehouse fan? From 10 feet, on low, it blows enough air to blow a dress hanging from the frame of my closet door to the floor. On high it blows my long hair sideways while sitting at my desk which is about 10 feet away. On low I have to have paperweights on my desk or documents become wallpaper. I hope that paints a clear picture of how much air this sucker (er blower) moves. I also think it blows much cooler than oscillating fans because oscillators heat up and usually are on higher posts that move warmer air. This moves the air from the floor (cooler) upward or outward across the room. My dads friends and our family chuckle at me because everywhere I go around this house and even on the patio I have two things... my beloved four-legged bestie and my man-made cyclone. Im thinking of stocking up because I have never owned a fan that works this well.

Ive been using this fan for about 2.75 years now. I run it every night in the bedroom to keep air from getting stale, and to create some background white noise. The fan itself is capable of moving extreme amounts of air. Moving that air creates noise - which is incidentally perfect for white noise at night. During the summer I had this in the office to help cool me down. Ill admit, it is loud. But I still love this thing a ton. Its very sturdy. Even after constant use it hasnt gotten loose or worn down. Its rattle-free after all this time, and a very smooth consistent work horse. It doesnt do the whole auto rotation side-to-side thing, but it does stay pushing at at the direction you point it. You can pivot it up and down, and it holds that position. Ive used it in the kitchen window after a botched burnt dinner. This thing is much lighter than youd expect for its size. Ive seriously considered getting a second one of these things. I actually do strongly recommend this fan. Mine has been solid quality, and I bet yours would be as well Update after 2.75 years (above review is 1.5 years in): The fan is still performing exactly as described above. I love this thing. The reason Im updating this is because Ive come back looking to buy a second.

Lasko, fans are dependable and move a great amount of air.
