Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan, Remote Control, 3 Speeds, for Bedroom, Kitchen, Office, 36, Black, 2511

The fan is almost noiseless. Convenient with the remote control. Good amount of air circulated

Lasted less than 2 years, and it was on for prob 12 hours a day. Pain in the butt to clean. The remote works fine, but its so small that it sort of was lost for most of its life. I mean, the fan was good enough that Im about to buy a second one, but I expected more for $60.

This fan is very weak. The noise is significant for such a weak air flow. This is fine for a gentle breeze, but not more. I was looking for an oscillating fan to blow strongly on laundry line-drying indoors in high humidity, so as to prevent mildew smell which my apartment seems to be prone to. I am returning the fan and getting an industrial fan used by contractors to dry indoor wall paint. A V*rn*do would probably be OK but their models are mostly non-oscillating, and Ive lost my confidence in the regular-home-use fans after buying and returning another desk fan and also feeling the fans on display in appliance stores. At an appliance store I was told that, because the materials used now are so inferior, the fans simply could not withstand a stronger motor that would generate more air flow. 15 years ago I discarded a cheap desk fan made probably 25 years ago that was 4 to 5 times heavier than what they weight now and produced a much stronger air flow; I recommend looking for the old fans, if possible. Packing this up for return was surprisingly difficult; things have to fit just right otherwise you cannot close the box and the styrofoam pieces are asymmetrical. I highly recommend taking photos before or as you unpack, unless youre sure you will not be returning this.

Quiet and powerful
