> 3 dayIve had this fan for about three weeks now and its made a noticeable difference from my previous fans. Its definitely one of the stronger fans that one might have in a home. It seems to have a pretty good reach. Even when I dont have it pointing directly at me and its on the other side of the room I can feel the breeze it generates. The base is sturdy and since it tilts its actually more maneuverable than I thought it would be for its size, so thats a nice plus. And it looks heavier than it actually is. The ONLY downside it has is one that is to be expected in that its on the louder side. When sleeping this is actually nice because it makes for nice white noise. But if Im working on something during the day I often have to noticeable increase the volume to hear over the fan, even when its on its lowest setting. When its on the higher settings, good luck hearing anything else. But honestly thats a minor thing. For one, Ive never really had a reason to use anything but the lowest setting. It moves the air that well. And 2, it was perfectly understandable that such a fan would naturally generate more noise. so just something to be aware of. I use mine in my small bedroom, but its a fan thats probably made for a larger room anyway.

Greater than one weekAn Amazing fan the speed selector handles the speed you are looking for. If you are handy you can build a base and hang it from the ceiling.

> 3 dayAs stated this fan what not what I expected for the price. Tipsy, slightly unbalance blade when it is on, you can tell by the slight rattle sound coming from it, not rugged at all or heavy duty made. I purchased for my sister and not in a position of returning it hence she is stuck with it. Would NOT recommend this fan or would I accept it for half its cost..just not a quality product.

> 3 dayI wasn’t expecting the fan to be very huge, but it has a very nice air flow, lots of air. It’s so much better than my old ones, it beats it! Arrived had some scratches but worth it! A great fan to have around the house.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayWeve owned 3 of these so far, good value for the money. Low speed is below ambient, 2 speed is good background noise and air movement, 3 speed is too loud to sleep to but really moves some air quickly! Lifespan: - in a dirty pet house environment with nightly usage at 2 speed one lasted about a year. Even with full cleaning every few weeks eventually cat hair clogged the stator and it died a fiery arcing death. Thank God we were there to smell the burning smell and turn it off. Do not run unattended in dirty conditions. - In a cleaner non-pet house one has been in operation for over a year and needs fan blade cleaning (dust accumulation) about once per month.

> 3 dayIts hot and super muggy in Brooklyn now and this fan has been one of the best things I ever purchased from Amazon. It arrived in a crunched box and I thought I would find a broken fan inside but to my happy surprise, it was without a scratch. The wind this dynamo produces actually does cool down my hot living room (its quite large for a mid-income building in NYC). Sadly, my old air conditioner is kaput. Several years ago, I bought a large overhead light and ceiling fan thinking it would help with sky-rocketing energy costs and I wouldnt need to run the air-conditioner on high as much. Boy, was I wrong. The afternoon sun burns up my apartment and even with the air-conditioner and ceiling fan, it tends to get stifling in here. Last summer when the air-conditioner sighed its last cool breath, I was pinching pennies and decided I needed another fan so I bought a costly Lansko upright model locally. Total waste of money. It hardly blows any air even though it’s silent and oscillates. Still pinching pennies these days, a new AC is not an option. On top of the cost of buying one with a high enough BTU, my buildings management wants $375 just for the installation because of the kind of custom windows we have under strict warranty. All this to say, the Wind Machine 3300 has been doing double-time when the temp rises over 90 and the heat index feels more like 115 degrees. Yes, it’s a little noisy when turned on high and it does not oscillate but that’s nothing I can’t live with for the breeze. I like that I can adjust where the air is blowing by tilting the fan up or down. Twice now, I’ve even forgotten to turn on the overhead fan which proves to me that this (under $40) powerhouse is a bargain. I risked the bad reviews and am thrilled with this purchase! Just keeping my fingers crossed that the Wind Machine will keep working as it is now.

> 3 dayAfter 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!
