Greater than one weekGlad I got this given the heat wave this past week! -Arrived ahead of time -Super easy to assemble, no tools necessary, one person can do it -Has 3 levels of power that for some reason seem to have gotten stronger since I first started using it? Could be my imagination. Level 1 is great for lounging around, moves the air decently and can be felt from a distance of even up to 8 feet. Have rarely used level 2, since level 1 is usually enough for keeping the room cool and air circulating when lounging, eating, studying or watching TV. Level 3 is great for sleeping and helping move air around the kitchen when cooking (the oven and stove can make the room hotter pretty quickly, plus it helps get rid of food smells quicker than just opening the windows). Have slept with just this fan (no AC) and the windows cracked open on cooler nights and has been great. Slept through the night with just a sheet (no blanket) without sweating or feeling stuffy. -On noise levels: is not the quietest fan Ive owned for the power of air it moves, but I have to say even on the highest level it is not as bad as some others. Use the volume when watching TV as a reference: when on level 1, dont need to raise the volume at all. Doesnt interfere with my studying or zoom/facetime calls. On level 2, have to raise the volume by maybe 2-3 points. On level 3, have to raise it maybe 4, max 6 points. Would be equivalent of white noise in the background maybe? -Oscillation works great, air distribution is even and for some reason the air always seems to come out quite cool no matter how hot it actually is inside the room. -Design is super sleek and attractive (got it in the white and silver). Doesnt feel like you have to hide it in a corner because it clashes with the decor. A couple of cons: -Structure seems kind of flimsy, tower will wobble when pressing the buttons or moving it around. -Has made a vibration noise a couple of times when the oscillating function is turned on, which I feel like could only mean itll be permanent in some time? It is very subtle and barely noticeable and hasnt happened again. -Not the quietest fan Ive owned -Only 3 levels of power

Greater than one weekIt’s a very quiet and efficient fan - and it’s certainly more visually appealing than the bargain floor fan I have. There are a couple issues, however that prevent this Lasko from being worth the money you’re paying. The first is that it won’t remember your previous settings. For example; my husband and I prefer Lvl2 with oscillation and this fan is incapable of remembering oscillation settings. It’s not fun to try and find that button in the dark. Second, it’s a dust magnet. More-so than some other fans I’ve seen... and where I can usually take a swiffer duster or even a good damp washcloth down the vents to clean it, the design of the venting slays have made this process awkward. They’re long and narrow, and the crooks are therefor tighter and less likely to have any rag or duster successfully clean the crevice. It’s a great midline fan; it would probably work great as an office or waiting area fan - or just in an area it doesn’t need to be messed with much. Cleanliness is definitely something to consider.

> 3 dayWe got hit with thunderstorms and temps to 90. Hot and humid. This whisper quiet fan was perfect as I refuse to turn the A/C any lower than75. It was still muggy even with the air on and then I turned this oscillating fan on! The dogs immediately claimed their spot in front and I settled in to watch TV. After a very short while, I found myself reaching for the lap blanket! I was so surprised and pleased at how cool and comfortable the room became. UPDATE: I saw this fan at the store and picked up two more! (Sorry Amazon!). One for my bedroom (hate a ceiling fan) and one as a gift. One of my favorite purchases this year.

> 3 dayThe fan comes with a remote which has the same functions that can be controlled from the fans control panel. Very easy to assemble and it can be placed literally anywhere in the room. The speed can be adjusted from 1 (min) to 3 (max). It typically starts on the last used setting, meaning if the user selected speed 1 and turned the fan off, next time it is turned on, the speed will be 1. No complains really, just that for the purposes of listening to music, I wish the noise from the fan was slightly lower.

> 3 dayCompact design allows the fan to travel to different parts of the house. I like to caddy holder built into the fan for the remote. The wind force it generates is good. (TIP: start off on highest speed for 1-2 min, and then reduce down speed to lower settings if desired; if you start off on low or mid speed, fan will not give you the same wind force right away, but will build up to its setting). This is my second unit, the first one the settings were mixed up (3 low, 2 high, 1 mid) and returned, no issues with the new tower. Seems like there might be quality control issues with the programing given the settings work around and out-of-box issues I had, seem to be in the same vein (IMO). Remote: this is my only compliant, it doesn’t work consistently. Sometimes I have to push the desired buttons multiple times until it connects with the unit. Mostly happens with oscillating function when trying to get tower to stop at desired direction. Thought it was batteries and swapped out for fresh, but still same issue.

Greater than one weekSo far I like this fan a lot. I like that it has a sleep function on it so I turn it on at night before going to sleep and I don’t need to worry about it. The remote control also makes it convenient so I do not need to get up every time I want to change the speed, timer or such. I don’t use the oscillation feature that much but it is nice that it is there. The noise level on the fan I wouldn’t say it’s quiet but it is not overly loud too unless you have it on top speed. I haven’t came across a fan yet that is really quiet anyway. The fan itself is not that sturdy when it is on the stand meaning that when it is touched it wobbles some and if you were to push it with force it could probably fall over. Overall neat fan.
