Lasko High Velocity Floor Fan with Wall mount Option, 3 Powerful Speeds, Pivoting Fan Head for Home, Garage, Attic, 20, Black, 2264QM

It works great I bought it cause it drowns out alot of noise when I sleep, but randomly it will just start to make a noise that rings in my ears that not even covering my ears with pillows can prevent. At first I thought it was just the settings it was on or the surface but I moved it around and changed the settings and it continued the higher the setting the louder it got other than that its a great fan.

Very effective

I use this while riding my bike in the garage with Zwift. 3 speeds makes it easy to adjust for colder temperatures

My bedroom gets too hot and doesn’t circulate cold air, this is very powerful and very loud but still doesn’t circulate hot air. I usually put it in my garage for cookouts, which I would recommend getting for that purpose!

Purchased this for a poorly ventilated room in the home I am renting until I can afford a mortgage alongside my student loan debt. I couldn’t be happier with the performance of the fan. The room in question is roughly 85 degrees Fahrenheit and thanks to this fan I barely notice when I’m cranking away on my computer. Many people complain about the noise but I don’t mind it and don’t typically even notice it most of the time. Admittedly that could be down to a lifetime spent with the white noise of a fan in the background. Overall it’s a sturdily built machine, with great air flow and I’m much more confident in this fan versus the plastic Lasko units. I’m of two minds about the lack of a remote control, one one hand it would be a nice convenience. On the other it’s just another failure point and getting up from your seat every now and again is good for you.

Nice speed settings. Not too loud and plenty of air movement. Very well constructed!

Great air output; however every few minutes or so it sounds like a vacuum is running or a plane about to take off. This is at the lowest setting and just escalated at higher setting. I’m considering returning. The noise is very annoying

Very strong, but makes a noise that varies in db/frequency on 2 out of the settings, so it becomes and extreme nuisance. I ordered two times to see if it was the unit or model, and both had the same problem

It does not have a remote control, and I dont move it around, but I can work for extended time periods and not be annoyed by either the unit sound or any vibration from inbalance. It just does its job. Quietly, relatively speaking.

(Update July 2019... Price of this fan has dropped $10 in the last year, making this fan only $15 more expensive than the B-air Firtana to which I compare it below. Both fans are still working for me. But the B-air Firtana has eleven percent 1-star reviews, most because of the fan quickly dying whereas this Lasko has only three percent one-star reviews. At just a $15 difference, Id buy the Lasko today. The reviews are four times more negative for the B-air, though, again, both are still working for me.) This fan shows up alongside the B-air Firtana-20X when you search for 20-inch fans on Amazon. They look fairly similar, so why does this fan cost so much more--$62 vs $39 for the B-air? Having recently bought one of each, here are my observations. Similarities: 1. Dimensions, pivoting ability, weight. They seem very similarly constructed initially. 2. Apparent effectiveness in moving air. Both have three speeds, both seem to put out air well. If anything, in a subjective test the B-air seems a bit more powerful. But again, this was subjective... 3. Construction. Both have metal shrouds, metal blades, rubber shock absorbers connecting fan to stand to keep vibration down and grounded three-prong plugs at the end of substantial cords. Differences which might explain the difference in price: 1. The Lasko has a front-mounted speed control. The B-air has its speed control mounted directly on the motor and can only be controlled from the back. 2. The Lasko comes with a substantial wall mounting plate. The B-air says it can be mounted on the wall, but doesnt include a fixture for doing so. Its up to you to find the hardware for hanging the B-air. Also, the Laskos front-mounted switch makes controlling it when wall-mounted more convenient. 3. The Laskos motor is enclosed in a plastic shield at the back while the B-air exposes the metal back of its motor. Is a shield better? I dont know. One reviewer complains about hair becoming sucked into the B-airs motor. Perhaps a shield would help with this. Yet a shield is an added expense, and I would think Lasko wouldnt put one over the back of their motor if there werent some utility in doing so. 4. The Lasko has hinged connectors for mating the two halves of the fan shroud, making it an easy tool-less job to remove the shroud and clean the blades. The B-air has screws attaching the two halves of the shroud over the blade. Conclusion: Its a crap shoot. But the B-air has a surprising number of one-star reviews which claim the fan died within months of purchase--and a number of reviewers also claim that the B-air is a generic fan sold under many names. Take the risk on the B-air and you might be happy you did. If you want to hang your fan from a wall, get the Lasko. Perhaps in a year I will know more about their reliability. Right now its hard to judge, and the Lasko is a great deal more expensive. I say go with the B-air, but if it breaks Ill be back with an update.
