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

Just got this fan due to the heat wave in the Pacific NW. I have an older Utilitech FE50 I got from Lowes years ago but needed another one for downstairs, so I directly compared the 2. (Lowes no longer has this model but a newer version that looks a lot like the Lasko in construction.) The Lasko is lighter, at 12 lbs vs 18 for the FE50. Both move a ton of air, the Lasko rated at 3460 and the FE50 at 5000. Both are loud with the Lasko having a higher pitch whine to it while the FE50 has a lower frequency rumble. I measured them with a Radioshack SPL meter at 5 feet with the following results: Lasko Power level 1- 58 db, 2 - 61 db, 3 - 66 db. FE50 Power level 1 - 62 db , 2 - 66 db, 3 - 69 db. Thats about hair dryer or air conditioner level of noise, so if you want quiet, these 20 inch work shop fans are not the way to go. Still, we use the FE50 in the bedroom as my wife prefers the lower frequency hum and we sleep fine. Cant comment on longevity yet since I just got it, but seems reasonably well constructed. Overall I would definitely buy again, but if you are sensitive to noise levels this will probably not work for you.

As I write this review Im being cooled and blown away by this powerful fan. Even on the lowest of the 3 speeds this fan moves a lot of air. Solidly built and well designed, Ive purchased 2 of these fans and will probably purchase more.

Replaced a damaged fan with a like fan. Havent used it yet. So well see.

Super quiet and cools great

Strong wind , durable , good amount of noise( I️ like the background fan noise YMMV) definitely a good buy

I bought this specifically for sound. I wanted a very loud fan and it’s just slightly loud. Works great though. I like that the dial is on the front instead of behind the fan.

This fan is durable, versatile, has three settings, great/high air flow on those sticky hot summer days and nights. I live in a 2nd floor apt wit no shade, or cooling units and the only other fan we have is non existent. This is the only thing that got us through last summer’s heat waves. As well as this summer as well. I just need this fan, an ice cold drink… and I end up having to turn it Trojan bee cause i get too chilled if I add anything else “cooling” (drink, wet bandanna, or even a water bottle for spritzing). I love the rotation angles for various air flow scenarios. I love the pedestal/metal mount design of its base. It has fallen, been knocked over, had a power surge hit it without it being protected and it’s still kicking! I even had my grandson drop a remote control into it as it was on huh (no one was hurt). But the fan and the blades were not effected in the least. I didnt need tools that I don’t own to open it. It has secure metal clamps all the way around a the perimeter to open the fan to clean (or fetch remote controls) or do a quick dusting of. This is amazing.

I have had this fan for around 2 years and I use it in my bedroom. All the settings are really strong and loud but it works perfectly as white noise to help me sleep and my puppy also likes the fan. It is a little heavier and annoying to move around, but it has not had any more complications for me. Im sure it will last for many more years.

It’s rare that you buy high quality stuff that lasts anymore. I’ve had this fan for about 4 years and it works as well as the day I got it. I literally never shut this fan off other than to clean it every few months. It has a good amount of white noise which I like- definitely not a silent fan so keep that in mind. It completely comes apart so that you can really clean it. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I was cleaning this today and thought wow this fan is as good as the day I got it. Hope it lasts another 4 years

In Western Washington, most residential buildings, including my own, do not include air conditioning of any sort. So I needed a fan that could circulate air throughout an entire home. The Lasko 2265QM does that job well for the most part. Positioned properly, it can blow in cool air from shaded areas outside, and provide a pleasant breeze pretty much anywhere. When the temperature gets especially high, sitting in front of the fan provides instant and persistent relief. The three speed settings can be described as high, higher and hurricane. There simply isnt a lot of nuance. Even on the lowest setting, this fan can cycle all the air in a typical bedroom within a minute. Other reviews have commented on the volume of the fan. They are all correct, and you should heed their warnings. I initially shrugged them off, but after getting the fan, I really was surprised by how loud it could be. At full speed, the Lasko 2265QM will sound not unlike a small propeller driven aircraft at idle throttle. The lower settings do little to reduce the noise, and mostly just change the pitch of sound. The overall construction of the fan is decent. Attaching the stand and control box was trivial and didnt require much effort. The front grill can be removed, but there should be no reason to do this. The control box is the only thing that feels like it was cheaply made. But its good enough that it shouldnt be an issue throughout the useful life of the fan. The motor is housed within a plastic shroud, although it appears that under the shroud is a metal casing for the motor itself. I noticed that the plastic motor shroud can get hot during sustained operation. Not to the point where Im concerned it could catch fire. But hot enough for me to be weary of touching it when the fan has been on for awhile. If placed on an uneven surface, the force of the air being blown can cause the fan to topple. It would be nice if the stand had a bit more depth, but this is only problematic if the fan is placed on a soft or uneven surfaces. I get a lot of use out of this fan, but I prefer to only use for about an hour at a time, especially at night when I have the chance to circulate cool air into my room. Anything longer than an hour though, and I prefer to use a quieter fan. Pros: - Can quickly circulate the air in a room - Can provide modest ventilation for a home - Sturdy construction - Easy assembly - Works as advertised Cons: - It really is loud. - Cheap control box - Motor shroud can get hot - Stand my not work well on soft/uneven surfaces - Little difference between speed settings
