Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote Quiet Floor Fans for Bedroom 42 Woodgrain and Grey T42954

This cools my bedroom perfectly! I am currently living in a dorm-like building, so certain rooms receive adequate AC and some (like my room) do not. I suffered through the last couple years and finally broke down and bought a tower fan to use. I now use it almost daily and don't know how I ever dealt with the heat without it. Particularly in the evenings, it is really nice to not wake up sweating or have really restless sleep due to discomfort. The fan itself works amazingly well! I typically use the high setting right now (it is summer), but I'm sure the medium and low settings will be nice for the Fall. The fan also has a sleep timer which is awesome. I have used it a couple times but, since the fan turning off made my room hot again and woke me up, I am mostly just leaving the fan running all night. Again it will probably be nice when the weather is a bit cooler. It is a relatively quiet fan, so I sleep through it with no problem. There is an ionizer setting, though I haven't really used that much and don't know how to really judge whether that works well or not (I've never had one before). Finally, probably one of my favorite features is the remote control! I keep my fan on the wall furthest from my bed, so it is nice to be able to use a remote when I want to change settings rather than having to get up and walk across the room to mess with it. The remote can also be used to choose whether the fan is oscillating or not, so I often use the remote to line up the stream of air where I want it to be (sometimes I want it directly on me and sometimes I prefer it pointing somewhere else). Overall, a great product for a great price. 5-stars, for sure! Read more

The fan is nice and strong, a lot quieter than the standing fan I had before. I love having a remote with it, I tend to turn it on before bed but if I get too cold, I can shut it off with the remote and not bother getting up to do it. Read more

Running the air conditioner in the Texas heat gets expensive. I wanted a fan that could help cool the family room (where we spend most of our non-sleeping time) without running the A/C constantly. My neighbors have a Lasko fan that is very similar to this one, and I was impressed by how well it worked. First of all, kudos to Amazon for super-fast delivery. I am a Prime member, but got it in one day, not two. The fan was packed securely, but easy remove from the box. All of the parts arrived in perfect condition. The assembly instructions were simple and I was able to attach the base in just a few minutes, working by myself. (HINT: Put the top of the fan on the floor, using the styrofoam ring from the package to hold it steady.) The base is steady on carpet as well as hard flooring surfaces. There are three speeds and even the lowest speed cranks out a stream of cool air. Although a fan does not actually cool the air, this one provides enough air movement that you feel a nice cooling breeze. (Crank it up and it feels a little windy!) I always run it in the oscillation mode to really move the air around the room. Ionizers seem like a gimmick to me, so I don't care one way or the other that this fan has one. If the blue light bothers you, turn off the ionizer. It shouldn't really make any difference. The one negative is that you need a clear line between the remote and the fan to use the remote. No waving the remote in the general direction of the fan while clicking a button, you need to aim carefully. Of course, you can also use the timer to let the fan turn itself off automatically. This fan is an excellent value. I plan to buy at least one more for my upstairs office. Read more

This fan has three speeds; the airflow on Low is fine for me when I'm within 8 feet of the fan. There is very modest wind noise even on High, but there is also some motor noise (hum), especially on Med and High. The hum seems to come out the back, so it is louder if you have the back of the fan against a wall, which reflects the hum. The hum bugs me, but I'll adapt. It oscillates about 90 degrees (if you have that turned on) which is right for me. There is a night setting, which runs the fan on High for some time (an hour, I think), then switches to Med, then to Low. This is of no use to me but might be nice for some (It's described as a bedroom fan, which is not my use). It needs the base to be"assembled"--i.e. snapped together; otherwise the circular base would require a much bigger shipping box. Very simple to do that and then to twist the base onto the tower. The tower design takes up much less space than my previous Lasko floor-stand design. (I replaced that one because it became noisy due to wobble created by worn shaft/bearing/bushing.) There is a remote control, which I don't need (I'll lose it anyway), but it seems to require line-of-sight from less than 10 feet away. Read more
