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

As 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.

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

I really wish it had lasted longer before it burnt out. While it worked it was a great fan. Somewhat difficult to clean, but very strong and kept my room cool until I turned the a/c on in July. It was used approximately 3-4 months of the year and I bought it 3 years ago - so it took about 12 months of use for it to die. For the price it really should have lasted longer.

I bought this fan several times, its reliable and efficient. The wind machine does make a lot of noise but that suits my purpose as I tend to keep the fan running all day as background noise. I live in the city, and its pretty noisy, so this fan helps muffle out those unpleasant sounds. Ive had wind machines for years and the motors never gave out. Only reason Ive ever really had to replace them its because the casing of the fan, which is not heavy duty plastic tends to break very easily. But only if youre not handling it with care. I also like how powerful it blows air. These fans tend to accumulate a lot of dust, but they have screws in the back of the fan that allows you to open them and clean them. Ive recommended this fan to family members and Friends but if youre looking for a fan that makes no noise this is not the fan for you.

I bought one of these fans 5 years ago. I have since purchased 2 more! Even with air conditioning in my home I still like to move the air around in certain rooms. I purchased one of them for the largest room in our families air conditioned lake home as well. Better than a box fan by far. I love how easily they stand and that I can position the fan as it can be tipped up or down to blow the air. This is the quietest, larger fan for the money, that I have ever used. It moves the air marvelously where I want it to. Great for helping to dry freshly shampooed carpets too! As fans can get dirty with use, I can take this fan apart easily to clean the fan blade and grates. It cleans up very easily. The first fan I purchased is still going strong after 5 years of constant use. Please be aware that this fan does not oscillate to and fro. It is directional only. Very good product and worth every penny. I would recommend this fan to others.

Not easy to take apart and clean- otherwise great product

Great fan at a great price.

My family and I own a lot of fans, from commercial fans to 1hp carpet blowers. We also own several of these Lasko Wind Machines. I like them for several reasons. 1. Quality for the price. Normally I can purchase this model (one of the 3300 series) locally for about $40. $50 isnt a bad price to get it delivered to an elderly parents front door. Quality meaning: they work and continue to work well for many years with little maintenance. 2. Powerful for the price, construction and weight. Its a 10-pound fan that pushes as much cfm as many of my much higher priced metal commercial models that cost at least 2-3x as much. 3. I feel theyre safe. As long as I keep the air-intake free of dust, they never run hot. I have left these running continuously for months without any issues. Every time I vacuum, I clean the fan. I use the large dust brush on the outside and a crevice dusting brush to reach inside. Once a year, I remove the back and give it a good cleaning. Takes a small amount of time. Lasko does not publish the CFM for many (if any) of their fans. Ive seen several responses to the question on different websites about the CFM of the 3300 and they vary. Presently, I am attempting to get Amazon to contact Lasko for the info. ========== Just beware, Lasko customer service is basically non-existent. Over the last few days, I called 1-800-233-0268 six times. My shortest wait time was 24 minutes, my longest wait was 52 minutes. They have not replied to my email placed on their contact page. I had a similar experience in July of 2013 after purchasing a couple of their 4900 fans. Their fans are great but if you have an issue, make sure you return the fan to Amazon before the 30 day return period ends.

Not a deal breaker but the control knob goes loose 3 out of 4 times we use this. Were not over turning it and are now really careful turning it slowly but it still does it. We just pull it all the way off and press it firmly back on again. Doesnt look stripped but dont want to glue it on. We can live with it. Other than that nice fan.

I bought this to replace the same model and make fan that I had for many years. I run it all night long. Not only for white noise but temperature control. If you tilt it you can change the temperature in your room
