Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote Control, 3 Quiet Speeds, Timer for Bedroom, Kitchen, Office Use, Black, 36" 2511

Living in Southern California means dealing with the katabatic winds known as the Santa Anas. Generally, they begin in the late summer and last into early fall, and - to put it mildly - they suck! Now, it's only mid-June as I write this, but within a couple weeks the temperature will start to climb into the 80°s, by the end of July we'll be in the 90°s, August & September will see us in the 100°s. Let me tell you... I. Hate. Being. Hot. Especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. As it happens, my old fan took a dump last week, which sucked but at least at least it wasn't 90-fricken-degrees outside, and I had ample time to replace it. This one was very reasonably priced ($38) and I liked that it has a remote control, my old one didn't. This fan was easy to assemble and works well. At speed level 1, it's very quiet. At level 2, it's a still-pleasant white noise. At 3, it's more noticeable, but not so much that it bothers me. Thing is, it's less powerful than my old fan. It's level 3 (highest setting) is equivalent to level 2 on the old one. Thankfully, I also own one of those big round floor fans that blow just shy of tornado-creating, so I'm prepared. Overall, this tower fan looks good and works well, I love the remote control and am glad I paid less than what I would have at Target or Home Depot. I just wish it had a better blow. Yes, feel free to finish that off with, "That's what he said."

This is probably my best investment, it's a great fan and has strong air. If you forget to turn it on before bed, no problem, it comes with a remote with all the settings on it and you can turn it on from your bed. It's also not super loud which is amazing

This is not an air conditioner. I want everyone to understand that if you live in a hot humid state (like I do) and you don't have central air in your house (like I do) then you need to get a window ac unit to actually cool down a room. That being said, this a great directional cooling fan! I love this thing. I also bought the Lasko space heater for the cold winters so I recommend this brand to all my friends and family. I prefer the tower fan to pedestal fan because pedestals just circulate existing air, where towers blow out cooler air and are much more directional when you plan on sitting or laying for long periods. I use this fan mostly during the day when I plan on being at my desk for several hours. I will turn my ac unit up a few degrees so it's not running as often and I turn this fan on to keep me cool if I get too warm. The remote control is easy to use and it has a 1-7 hour timer, 3 fan speeds, and oscillation. The lowest speed is pretty quiet but the highest speed has a slight humming noise but it's much more quiet than my window ac unit. I use it while I sleep sometimes too when the heat and humidity is insane and it definitely helps me sleep.

I bought this fan in the cooler months and forgot about it until recently. I try not to turn on air conditioning until I really, really have to but I do like some cool air circulating when it gets warm in the house. I pulled out this fan a week ago and I love it. You have to put the bottom part together which takes a minute and then you're all set. You can use the remote control but I don't. The fan is tall and lean, not like those huge wind tunnel fans that take up a lot of space. You can oscillate the air or keep it steady, there are three settings for air flow, and there is a timer which works wonders when you want to just leave the fan on for an hour or two and have it turn off. The air it puts out is good. Not wind tunnel good but nice for warm days or evenings. The sound is like a fan. It isn't super quiet but it isn't any louder than any other fan I have had. I like the sound of fans at night so I am not upset that it sounds like a fan! I just wish that this were just a little better made. While everything works, it feels a bit flimsy. It also does not have an automatic shut off feature when it tips over or falls and I really wish it did. I have pets and this is not the most sturdy fan. My cat ran by it and brushed against it and the fan tipped over. It didn't stop working and I wish it had. Other than that, I love this fan compared to the round ones. It takes up much less space and has some features many others don't. It works as it is supposed to with or without the remote. I want to buy another one but the price went way up since I bought the one I have. I'm not sure it is worth nearly $50.00. I paid $29.00. I will watch for a drop in price then snatch another one up. It's not going to blow you away but it will keep you cool when the room you are in is too warm for comfort.

I am loving this fan, works so well and efficient. The only part I don't like is the oscillation seems short, even though it says it is 90%. Otherwise it is a great fan that is quiet and works well for my large living room. Glad to see some of the great companies like Lasko are still making quality items.

I love the look of the fan true to picture. Not very noisy, but then again I do like white noise tho and it definitely keeps me cool. I just need to figure out how to clean the dust. I use it every day.

I'm going to review the 3 fans listed below, including the Lasko, for folks deciding between different models 1. Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan, 36 inch, 2510 2. PELONIS Fan, Oscillating Tower Fan with LED Display, Remote Control, 3 Quiet Speeds and Modes, 7h Programmed Timer for Home and Office, 36-Inch, 2019 New Model 3. Genesis Powerful 40 Inch 360 Degree Oscillating Tower Fan With Max Air Quiet Technology And Remote 1. Lasko - fine if you're looking for a basic, cheap ish fan Pros -budget friendly; probably cheapest out of all the tower fans on here -fairly powerful Cons -pretty noisy, but I'm not sure there is a powerful fan out there that isn't super noisy -the one I ordered started making weird noises the second night I used it, so the quality isn't great -not as sleek/stylish as others -not as tall as the others, but that also totally depends on personal preference Pelonis - not bad but fan power is mediocre Pros -other fans' displays are lit while the fan is operating, but Pelonis' display turns off so that if you're sensitive to light when you sleep, you won't need to worry about the light coming from the fan display -nice sleek design Cons -pretty weak fan power, definitely weaker than the Lasko 3. Genesis - good fan except the thermometer is useless Pros -fan power is good -seems to be good quality -nice sleek design Cons -noisier as well, but again, comes with the fan power -the thermometer is defective, and there's no way to reset it. In reading some other reviews, it seems that this is a problem across all the different fans. When i contacted Amazon I was offered a partial refund for the defect, but I'd rather it worked properly.. Overall, I would say they're all fine, just depends on what you're looking for. I think the Lasko is the noisiest and had the worst quality, but still works fine as a basic tower fan if you're not too picky. I really liked the Pelonis and that the display turns off while operating, but the fan power was not doing it for me. The Genesis, while the most expensive, seems to be the highest quality, but it makes no sense to me that they'd manufacture a thermometer functionality that is useless. I am returning the Lasko and Pelonis, and haven't decided if I will keep the Genesis.

I absolutely love this tower fan. I'm familiar with the brand name Lasko for many years now and with this purchase they still put out quality fans. Assembling the base was a bit tricky so I had to get some help so one person could hold the tower and the other make sure the base was on correctly and screwed in. Makes things so much easier. Now this fan will not freeze you out like an AC or some big fans will. If I were to guess I would have to say the highest setting on this tower would be medium or medium/low on bigger fans or towers and that works great for me. I have it in my living room/office/craft area and the high setting works just great for me while I'm at my desk or in my recliner especially when I put it on oscillating. The remote works great though I'll admit I haven't used the timer yet. All in all I'm very happy with the purchase. Also the noise level is great. If it weren't for feeling the cold air on me I forget it's on.
