Lasko 42 In. Wind Curve Tower Fan
S. Mann’s comment about being able to run it next to the TV without increasing volume was the deciding factor in my buying this fan. It’s SO quiet! The timer, it’s beauty (you laugh, but this fan is pretty … as another reviewer said, the faux wood is NOT cheesy), and small footprint are all good. There’s a slot in back to store the remote control AND a built-in handle near the top, so to carry the fan from room to room is balanced and easy. I find myself lugging it from TV room to kitchen to bedroom.
You can louver the air to blow up or down. It moves air well. I use a lot less AC, now that I got this fan. My rooms are small (10×12 max) with normal ceilings.
Ionizer feature. When it’s on, a BRIGHT blue light is also on. Special, but unless you’re a teenager, you’ll want to tape a wad of tissue over it, if this fan’s in your bedroom. I read up on what the ionizer does, and best I could deduce, it blows out particles which attach like magnets to (dust, mold, pet) airborne particles and they fall to the floor (so as not to be breathed in). I sleep in the basement (musty) and have a cat, and did not notice the air feeling/smelling any fresher using the ionizer. Take this report with a grain of salt, since I don’t really know what I’m talking about.
Negatives: In the 6 months I’ve owned the fan, the only complaint is when it oscillates, a small click occurs. If in a room with conversations going on, you wont notice it.
If you are frail or wobbly, the bulk of the fan might be too much. I was thinking to get one for some elderly relatives, but just I know they’d try and lug it from room to room, and eventually I think it’d cause them to trip, drop it, or fall.
Packing/shipping: I appreciated reading another review that mentioned how the fan is shipped: right in it’s box. NO packing or wrapping material. The shipping label is slapped right on the box, and any bumps or dings occur on (your nice storage box). There’s appropriate foam blocks inside, protecting the fan. Just be aware, this is how a lot of things are shipped these days. (I’ll be extra cautious to not have medical or sexual aids shipped to the workplace!)
If I had more storage space, I’d buy one of these fans for upstairs and another for downstairs.

There are some days when the temperature isn’t high enough to run your air conditioner. So I decided to buy this Lasko fan. Must say, this fan not only looks great, but also circulates air well. But the best part is, I now use my air conditioner only during peak summer days and this fan has helped cut my electricity bill drastically. My parents bought one for the living room too. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this fan as a gift for my parents. They absolutely love it and run it almost constantly at home, even though they don’t really need it. It is very quiet, but produces a good breeze.

I bought this item before Thanksgiving. I was happy with the shipping. So far I’ve been enjoying this fan. The features are great and it’s practically soundless compare to other fans I’ve seen. I like the look. I just hope it keeps working for more than a year. Is that too much?:)
