20 Best Fans For Large Rooms (2023 Updated)

I bought my 1st 783 2 months ago. I just ordered 2 more the other day. The way the fan circulates air around the room is amazing and it’s not loud at all. It’s extremely powerful and the air is noticeably cooler.

It’s perfect for the bedroom, the hum of the fan on high drowns out most of the outside noises and makes for some good long uninterrupted sleep. Sleep is so good I bought a total of 3 of these, one for each bedroom.

I highly recommend this fan.

This is my fifht Vornado. I still have the other four and use them daily. I love the design of these fans. This last one I purchased (#783) has a nice, unique stand. Unfortunately, this fan does not put out the powerful circulating air that the same full size Vornado I have had for years does.

These fans last for years. They are awesome. Just wish Vornado made the full size with more air circulating power like it used to have.

I bought this fan for ‘parts’ and got it running like new. Worth the time and effort because these fans are: 1. EXPENSIVE and 2. AWESOME. My whole house is full of Vornado fans of various models. They are the best fans you can get for your home and their warranty is even better!!! This is one of their larger fans, and it MOVES air.

It’s great. It allows me to operate only one window AC instead of two in summer, and moves the warmer air that gathers at ceiling level evenly throughout the apartment.

I bought this fan just before Christmas as i have another vornado non pedestal fan that works great. Now the fan on this does everything it is supposed to- however the base is needlessly fickle and two of the five feet do not touch the floor.

The design of the base is that you sit the feet in side compartments and turn a knob on the bottom to tighten it… it is hard to make sure all feet stay sitting in their place while you tighten it, you get three in and the other two won’t fit so you have to undo it again and they all fall out.

I don’t know how this design got past blueprints, if it had a normal sturdy base this fan would get 5 stars. Can’t believe I paid over $200 for a fan with such a design fault.

The legs have never stayed on. I’m constantly having to unscrew the plastic bolt out then lay the fan down put legs back in trying to keep them from popping out as I’m confusing reassembling the floor legs and tighten this back in.

Now I’m down to leaning it on something to. prevent fall overs at night. Don’t want it to break totally, or new an electric a fire hazard. And all this , That defeats most of the fans purpose of total air flow being clear.

I didn’t get around to shipping it back in time, because I’d physically have to go stand in line at post office where I live. There are No mail returns from my apt complex and no FedEx or UPS in my town it’s more than 20 miles away.

We are in a virus pandemic. I’m a breast cancer and lymes patient. Scary to go out anywhere that requires you have to stand in line in public to return things that don’t work right !!!. Just informed this week my apartment complex of 60 has 4 quarantined renters with covid ( just great!!) Really wanted this product to be a succeed.

In all my years shopping with QVC I’ve only returned 3 items and been disappointed in less than 6 out of hundreds. I bought this based on the companies reputation. At 63 years of age , I’m not into buying anything that won’t last.

My apartment runs hot , located with large windows facing the South in addition. the cancer med I’m on messes with my hormones and causes excessive heat in my body and top that with having to wear a full face sleep apnea machine mask to breath while I sleep.

I have A. C. But need something to circulate the air in my bedroom. I live in the Midwest and don’t turn my thermostat on until it’s below zero outside , because it just stays hot in the apartment, I was so looking forward to gaining some physical relief from this fan, my objective was to have it standing right next to my king bed on the side I sleep on.

But because the legs don’t hold the fan up without coming out I have now leaned the circulator fan against a leg on a small trampoline I leaned against my closet doors so the back of the fan can still pull air through.

Believe me it took weeks to try different ways to get into a leaning on something not to fall and still blow towards me during sleep. If I move the fan to get in my closet I have to start all over fanagling, it to stand up again.

I just wanted something quiet ( which it is) not giant to fit in a path to my bed that stands up on its own ( that’s basic which it does not.

I bought the 533 model in 2020 from either Home Depot or Lowe’s. It worked well when I was using it during the warm weather months. All of a sudden, here we are September 2020 and the fan blades are having trouble getting started.

I’ve taken it apart once already to get to the motor to drop some oil it. Worked like new for 4 days, and on the 5th day, blades had trouble spinning upon turning fan on. I’m going to have to buy a new one again, if this keeps up.

I’ve had this fan for three months and I love it so much. It is the best and most beautiful fan we have ever had. First, it has a small footprint and is so elegant and well designed that it can sit anywhere in the room, even on top of the coffee table, and look beautiful and unobtrusive.

The fan is brilliantly designed and easy to move. You can easily hold onto the top of the fan with one hand (there is a smooth little ledge, like a handle), and you place your other hand into the opening in the stand, which is also smooth and pleasant to grasp.

The open stand is lightweight, well balanced, and never falls off. The controls on the top of the unit are intuitive and easy to use. Tap one button to turn it on; tap another button to activate the rotation; tap a third button to change the speed.

When you touch the speed button, a blue light will move up and down to show you the level. This blue light goes off as soon as you finish setting the speed, so it doesn’t keep you awake all night. The fan also saves the current speed setting, so the next time you turn on the fan, you’re good to go.

The rotation is smooth, gentle, and even, and it makes a smoothly textured, whisper-quiet sound–even at the highest setting. Best of all, it creates a smooth, silken-soft breeze that moves evenly around the room and cools people off even on a blazing hot humid day (we do not have an air conditioner–this is all we use).

Regular fans make a noisy, turbulent blast of air. The wind from this fan is as gentle and steady as a real breeze, and much more cooling than a regular fan. The remote control is also intuitively designed and easy to use even in the dark.

As soon as I realized how good this fan was, I bought a second one. I just wish I had discovered it years ago.

I am usually quite lazy to make reviews but I spent so much time deliberating on this purchase that I had to come back to review. I have a honeywell portable heater that I absolutely loved so I said why not give their fans a try.

I literally can’t find one bad thing to say about this fan. it is sleek and visually appealing. very lightweight and easy to transport. has a remote which makes it super convenient and a little slot at the back of fan to store it when it’s not in use or you just don’t want it laying around.

It has 5 speeds and even the lowest speed gives you a gently cool. compared to many fans it is extremely quiet. each speed gets increasingly stronger in wind and a little louder. the highest speed is still quite quiet however.

this is indeed one of the quietest fans I’ve ever bought and strangely the higher speeds almost have an Air conditioner effect. it really cools. Assembly was also super easy. do not even think twice.

Just buy it.

I am a pregnant lady just trying to survive the Florida heat. This fan has been a lifesaver! Even though we keep the AC turned down at night, I have been sweating in my sleep so I wanted to try a fan.

Picked this one and have been very happy with it. I have it pointed directly at me on the “Calm” setting all night (and during midday naps). It emits a smooth, low level white noise which is perfect as it drowns out some road noise but I don’t hear the fan at all.

I really, really love this. I’m not sweating into my pillow anymore, its quiet and the perfect amount of breeze. I have not used the oscillation or timer settings, I don’t need them. I just want a simple on/off fan with higher and lower fan settings.

I will say though, the remote control is clunky and doesn’t always work as it should. For example, when I go to turn it off, the first click turns the fan up higher, the second click turns it off. Not sure why, but I tend to not use the remote anyways.

Not perfect, but perfect enough for what I need!.

I have owned an older model of this fan for over a decade. I have dragged it with me everywhere. It’s been abused and neglected more often than not. It has always held up well, continued working, and most important of all, was effective.

Knowing that I invested in a new one, the only real difference being and more modern remote. The new one operates as good as the old one. It works very well in a small to midsize room or when you need to direct air to a specific area.

Glad I bought it.

I bought this when my air conditioning went out during a heat wave. I have asthma and it was so hard to breathe with my old box fan plus that thing makes a racket the neighbors can hear. This takes up less real estate, is super quiet, really moves the air and makes the room more comfortable.

Even on high you can still watch tv without busting out eardrums. You couldn’t do that with my old box fan! The remote is excellent but in honestly we’ve rarely used it. I expect that it will get more use in time but right now, we tend to turn it on and leave it alone.

But I love that the remote stays attached until I need it. My family has a habit of losing everything!! This way they can’t, but I’m sure they will try. The functions are all very easy to operate and it was a very quick job to put together.

I’ve had cereal boxes that were harder! Writing this review, I might have convinced myself to buy another one!.

This fan meets one criteria I wanted. It is mostly white. But the cord and the remote are black. And that is just irritating. It would benefit a lot from having a white cord for the looks. The photo here does not really show that the vent grid is silver matching the LASKO lettering on the medallion.

The blades inside are black so it’s a bit more contrast than the photo. This fan is not quiet and does not move much air. It does have a small footprint. It serves one use in my home, to blow air six feet away over the person at the kitchen sink without blocking a door.

It can do that. It is a very weak fan, I cannot see using this in a large room. i do not think it is suitable for a bedroom as it is loud, especially for the small amount of air it moves. Or rather does not move.

I think I have mentioned that. Setting one is almost useless, it has to be on #2 or #3. I’m not sure if it is by design or by defect, but it does not oscillate through a very wide angle, maybe 45 to 60 degrees at most.

It was very easy to put together, less than five minutes and very obvious. You can’t clean it easily as nothing comes apart, so plan on compressed air to dust it out. It doesn’t seem all that sturdy.

This is my first LASKO brand fan and it is underwhelming. Don’t expect too much.

This fan has a nice small footprint, and provides excellent airflow. I purchased based on a review of fans suitable for cooling while using an indoor bike trainer. It does an excellent job preventing sweat dripping off my body, keeping me cool and avoiding sweat damage to the bike.

I use medium speed, and as expected it has modest volume, but not too bad. Vornado has a great 5 year warranty, is American made, and it is very sturdy and portable, with good adjustability for directing the airflow.

Follow the directions for placing the washers properly between the frame and fan body to be sure the twist knobs lock the fan in place so it doesn’t slip out of your preferred position. Once set, you can fine tune the position without need to unscrew the twist knobs.

I definitely would purchase this again.

I needed fans to circulate cool air from my Hessaire mc37v evaporative cooler in my garage to a workshop inside the garage. I shopped around at larger commercial fans but was not wanting the noise or poor reliability.

The Vornado 293HD works great! I bought the yellow and green model to circulate cool air around my 1500 sg foot garage. Combined with the evap cooler it has lowered the temperature in my garage from 95 to 80 degrees which allows me to work and workout comfortably.

They are quiet and powerful in a small package. I highly recommend these fans over anything else at this price. Sylvane shipped promptly and their price was the best I found. Thank You!.

The first Vornado fan I purchased was a similar floor model circa 1992. It was of similar design, but was not made from metal. It died recently, and I have sought a replacement since then. I can’t seem to get it repaired because it functioned far beyond its warranty expiration, and the plastic replacements have not stood the test of time like their predecessor.

This model moves the air in the room like my first one, and has begun to move the air and cool my living/diving room like a champ! I am so excited about it, and look forward to its ownership of the corner of the room.

Thank you for offering this shop model for sale, and I encourage it be considered for use inside the rooms of many other customers’ homes. My hearty endorsement!.

The 753 Large Air Circulator will blow you away. you can feel the air circulating in the room. This fan is powerful and keeps my room cool. I have a room that is sun facing/2nd floor. With the AC on 67 the room is still warm.

I added this fan and it stays comfortable with the AC on 69. I have a nice cooling breeze circulating in my master bedroom.

Great products. I have almost exclusively purchased Vornado fans, and when I have purchased others, I have been disappointed with the quality or how long they last. Vornado is great and the retro series is very cool.

They are a little pricey, but WORTH every cent.

I absolutely LOVE these Vornado Air Circulators. I bought my first one over 2; years ago and it’s still going strong. I had two terrier dogs in the past 21 years that had Pulmonary Fibrosis. The key was to keep the temperature in my house between 67-68 degrees.

These Vornados were perfect to help me do this. At night, I would put one on low and direct it at my dog. This helped so much, this kept him cool and he slept like a baby! I shared this online with our Westie Lung Disease group and everyone purchased at least one or two of these.

They also love them. These are written up as a “must buy” in our notes regarding the management of this disease. Vornado, you made our dogs lives so much better and I I will be forever grateful for such a great product.

Out of a 1-10 and 10 being the highest, we rate them an 11! Now I have the whole room air circulator on my nightstand because I am in menopause. It keeps me cool all night and I cannot sleep without it.

When I travel by car,it goes with me every time! These are very easy to clean, they snap out and the dust is easily removed. This product reduces the temperature in a room by a few degrees. I always have my central air conditioning on in the summer and it really helps circulate the air in a room.

In the winter, it circulates the air. This is not a fan, but an air circulator which is so much more. A++++++++ You must try this product, you will love it!.

I am currently looking to buy my third Honeywell Tower Fan. The first one was purchased 5 years ago and I loved it so much I kept moving it from room to room! It was so good that I purchased another one 2 years ago for our “great room” (floor to ceiling windows).

They are both still working beautifully! The 5 year old fan (8 speed) is now in my bedroom. I turn it on every night and push the timer button to 4. It runs for 4 hours and then shuts off. The little bit of noise that it makes is just enough to dull any sounds outside my bedroom (tv on downstairs, neighbours laughing in their yards, etc.

) I sleep so much better with it running than without it. It’s like white noise. And if I happen to get a little cool through the night, I reach for the remote (with my eyes still closed) and push the button that I need.

There’s only three buttons so it’s easy to feel which one I need; 1st button turns it on or off; 2nd button alters the speed; and the last button is to stop/start oscillating. Soooo easy!!!! You won’t be disappointed.

We bought this a year ago when our a/c did not keep the house cool in the Georgia summer. We now use it nightly during the warmer months to help us sleep. It has absolutely saved us! I was hesitant to get the $99 one since there are smaller models and our house is small, but it’s very nice to be able to use the lower, quieter settings sometimes.

On setting 1 or 2 in a 120-130sqft room, it is plenty effective and pleasantly quiet. I believe the claim that it makes the room feel 5 degrees cooler! It’s important to read the directions however – don’t treat it like a typical fan and try to point it right at you.

We put it on the floor and point it at the farthest opposite ceiling corner, and after a minute or so you can feel the air circulating anywhere in a small room. We also occasionally use it on a higher setting in our living room, which is more like 250 sqft; works great, though slightly louder.

Also, it’s straightforward to get the cover off and clean. I can’t recommend this fan enough. I wish I could take it everywhere I go!.

I absolutely LOVE Vornado, and there IS a lot to love about this model, but I was SO sure I would love it 100%, and I just don’t quite. The good: -4 levels. The lowest is very low and quiet, and the highest is very powerful (though fairly loud).

-Alexa-enabled. Though there is bad about this too, which I’ll get to. -Pretty compact. Though it’s not an ideal size for traveling, it wouldn’t be that big of a deal to lug along, if needed. It doesn’t take up too much real estate.

The bad: -It doesn’t really tilt “low” much at all. It is really just outward and upward. All of the places I intended to put this needed to be able to angle downward. -No remote, unless you count the Alexa app.

-The Alexa app doesn’t always work. This is my biggest issue by far. Assuming the phone your Alexa app is on is turned on, charged, and at-hand, sometimes you still cannot control the fan with it, as it just says “unresponsive.

” That is incredibly frustrating, and sometimes super disruptive to whatever you were in the middle of. -For some reason, though the Alexa app DOES recognize this device, it won’t allow me to add it as a favorite in the room it’s in.

It just sits in its own category by itself, and I have to go into it manually. So all in all, I’m not sorry I own this fan, and I’m grateful for some of its more advanced capabilities. But I do wish some slight adjustments could be made (downward tilt, and a remote control) that would make it the perfect fan I expected it to be.

Did a lot of research on Vornado fans. now I understand what an air circulator is. Researched this Vornado 660 fan. Recommended on YouTube. Very happy with the 660. it is only on the 1st speed. There are 3 higher speeds to cool down my hot bedroom mid morning as the sun pours into the windows.

The air has gotten very cool in my currently warm, stuffy bedroom with 2 large windows facing the hot east morning sun. Cooler air from fan makes it easier for me to breathe since I have allergies. Air flow = gentle on speed 1.

Can definitely feel the air flowing around me, and blowing my hair a little. Gently whirring. Buying another one for my living room. Goal – to not turn on my a/c this summer, if possible. Giving this a 4 until I use it for a few weeks.

Thankfully, a very nice young man pulled this off the high shelf for me tonight just before closing. When it gets even hotter in Denver, I still have 3 higher speeds to use to circulate the extra hot sunny air in my bedroom.

That will be the real test tomorrow.

A dream of a fan for a year. This fan was everything and the remote was great! Fast forward a full year and it just will not turn on. It was working perfectly just a week before and now it won’t even turn on.

Tested the outlet and other appliances and it is definitely a busted fan. It was so cheap I’m almost tempted to buy another one but I think I’ll shop around for a better product. For the convenience and the comfort it’s a pretty good deal if you are not looking to keep it for longer than a year.

I have had this since March and only running in my sons room at night. All of a sudden 4 months later it has stopped working. Hoping Target will let me return or exchange it but that’s unacceptable. I’ve had one in my room (different brand and different place of purchase) that has worked for 7 years no issues and gone through a move.

I’ll update my review if the issue gets resolved by refund or exchange.

It made a noise right out of the box. Took ithe flimsy thing apart and found the motor rubbing a piece of plastic. Pushed things into place as they should have been and that fixed the noise problem. Very cheaply made.

After 3 weeks, the small oscillating motor started making noise. Took it apart again and added some lithium grease to the moving parts and that has made it quiet again. Poor quality control at the factory.

Comfort Zone, you need to do better!.

We have 2 units in an auditorium and it absolutely changed everything for us. The room is approximately 150′ x 100′ with 40′ ceiling. We constantly struggled to keep the temperature the same on the floor and in the balcony where it could vary as much as 15°.

Our Big A Fans solved the problem completely. And while some others have mentioned noise of the controller our units make absolutely zero sound. It is truly hard to describe just how effective these fans are.

We give them every possible thumbs up.

This is an amazing fan. It moves a lot of air as they say and is very well made. Only reason I give it a 4 is because when we started it ran blowing up and we thought down should have been normal. Also had to do some digging to find out reversing 2 wires fixed the problem.

It was installed in a 40x80x16′ shop and we think it will do the job very good job this summer, Lighting Direct was great to work with and outperformed their estimated ship date by weeks. Their customer service was extremely helpful.

This fan was just what I needed to move around the house to any room I need it in. It was easy to assemble being just the base. Comes with a remote which I ended up velcroing onto the unit so as not to lose it.

Too bad the manufacturer doesn’t create a small pocket right on the unit to store that remote so it doesn’t get lost. Good value.

We had our air conditioning go out in our house. Ordered 3 of these fans to circulate air in the house till we can get it fixed. They do a great job and have helped us through some 95°+ days. Would definitely recommend these.

They are very quiet for their size, but the top speed is a bit noisier. But they really move the air and make the rooms comfortable.

Bought 2 of these fans, and so far they’ve been great. It’s fairly quiet on low, but the higher the speed, the louder it is but still tolerable. Having them both in the same room at once on high or medium is a bit much in regards to the noise level.

Just one does an effective job helping to cool a medium room, two cools it even faster. Only problem I’ve experienced so far is that the one fan will tilt up some when it’s on, particularly when on medium or high.

It’s not enough to cause a problem at this point, but it will make you stop and wonder what that clicking sound is. It was a little pricey, but overall a good investment for my family.

Love Honeywell fans and this one looks good, runs well and you can actually take the front cover off to clean the blades! The small ones don’t let you do that. I knocked off one star because when you adjust the fan it doesn’t “catch” fully, so sometimes the fan moves by itself a little up or down.

Irritant more than major issue. I bet I have 10 Honeywell fans easily, love that they run smoothly, quietly, even bought 3 of the small battery operated ones during a power outage last year mid summer and they helped.

Overall, would never buy any fan but honeywell !.

Installation was pretty straight forward. It is a large fan, so it is pretty heavy and awkward to hang. I hung it without the blades on. Made it a little difficult to attach the blades but I thought more manageable.

Runs quiet and seems to move the air well. I will know more in the summer. No wobbling which is important. Quality is good. I believe it will be just what I needed in our 20×24 living room to move the air.

I’ve been using this for 3 months and I am so glad I bought it. Temps are in the 90s now and I’ve let it run upstairs since the air is so warm and stagnant up there and cold downstairs. It circulates well and I can point it upwards or down to blow in my direction of choice.

I just turn it on the morning when I shower so humidity won’t build up in the bathroom and I stay dry instead of sweating after I shower. I should’ve had this a long time ago! I do rate 5 stars since the low setting is all I need it to be on and it does a great job.

It’s easy to lift up and move from room to room. It cools better on high setting but I only use it to circulate and it really does a great job on 1-2. I have a much smaller home so I did not need to spend big money on a Dyson cooling fan but if you can, try that, otherwise this is conventional, economical, powerful for it’s compact size and stores easy anyplace.

It helps keep the ac from pushing on too frequently and I always keep it on upstairs with the ac on if the temps are over 80. My dog likes it and it’s safe for pets but they may trip over the cord if it were long and in their way but it is 70 inches or almost 6 feet from the wall so no one will trip as long as it’s not lying across the hallway.

It appears to be made well and I like the stability it has when it sits flat on the floor. If you absolutely must have a QUIET FAN, do not buy this. However, the ac is much louder to it’s defense. It’s not so loud that I need to cover my ears, I’m OK with it’s noise level and I’m ready now to leave it on at night downstairs to push all the cold air upstairs!.

I just received my vornado 630 today and i am entirely disappointed. It might be even defective and that doesn’t say much for they’re quality control procedures. I bought it based on their reputation for being the best.

I read so many blogs and reviews and everyone says they are so awesome. My experience has been absolutely horrible. I paid over 50 dollars for this fan, waited with anticipation and received such a disappointment.

The air flow is so weak?! I cant feel the air from just 10 feet away, literally 10 feet. The fan has such a weak stream of air, i’m so surprised by that. I was so excited to get it after reading all the reviews, iv’e never owned a vornado before.

My experience has been so utterly disappointing. I wrote to vornado and i’m hoping they help me out. I’m a disabled vet and i’m definitely not looking forward to the return process. Im still very interested in the 660 model but very weary about investing in another fan from them.

I have an old Vornado I use in my kitchen, which compelled me to buy this for my bedroom. The old one’s metal & has a rheostat, rare and remarkable. The 3 speeds on this aren’t adequate. 3 is too loud and 2 is not enough.

The fan makes unpleasant sounds which transmit through the floor and mattress, sounds which seem unbalanced because they change pitch up & down. A consistent drone is great to drown out unwanted noises, but an the inconsistent noise of this fan is not conducive to sleep.

On the plus side, it’s nice looking and compact for the type of fan it is. Vornado’s quality seems to be plummeting. I’ve bought and returned 3 Vornado fans in the past year all due to poor quality and engineering.

I feel like all the reviews that made me buy this fan are fake. It took me a very long time to make up my mind on which fan to buy. The room I sleep and work in, gets super hot despite having A/C in the house.

The fan I had unfortunately broke, it wasn’t the greatest but it was ok. The day it broke I had to do an emergency same day delivery order to get some type of fan. I bought a $30 very small tower fan to hold me over.

Well it works better than this $80 fan. This fan does not do what some of the reviews say, which was that it really helps to cool the room down etc. , my room is not big at all, and I have to move the fan towards my bed at night to feel the air better.

I know it’s not an ac unit and it’s not going to make my room cold, but for $80 it should be way better. The highest setting is not very powerful at all. If you order this fan, keep the box and everything just in case.

I didn’t, now I’m out $80, actually more because now I need to buy another fan, this one will not cut it in this AZ heat. Very disappointed.

The first one sent to me had an issue where it was making a clicking noise if oscillation was turned on. Sheya in the customer support team was very helpful and sent me a new unit for free which works great and doesn’t make the noise.

The fan is not “bladeless” but I also own the Dyson AM07 and this fan is much quieter. I’m a big fan of the nature mode – I just turn it on, the fan randomly ramps up and down, and it feels like a real breeze outside.

Somehow that mode manages to increase the length of time I can be at my desk working without getting fatigued. Definitely worth the price. especially at 1/4 the price of my Dyson fan (which isn’t as good).

I really do like this fan. I like the sleek tall design, it’s quieter than anything I have ever used, and I am very impressed at how much air is blowing out, and the distance of the airflow. Wow!! Makes the house so cool without running the ac constantly.

Keeping your place cool and energy efficient. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone. And even the price was great! I give this 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Purchased three of these thinking, What a bargain! Well, a bargain they were not. I returned all three within days- they are made of flimsy plastic. If turned on at the highest setting, these things shook back and forth rather violently and loudly.

The breeze emitted was not even all that powerful to boot. Total garbage. Invest just a little bit more money in a fan that is sturdy and will actually function well, and one that will hopefully last for many years to come.

I have a sneaking suspicion this model is on borrowed time.

During this heat wave, I am enjoying my Lasko 20 inch Circulating Box Fan. It has three speeds — 1 (Low), 2 (Medium) and 3 (High). It is exactly what I expected. It keeps the air moving and provides a nice breeze to help keep the place cool.

I highly recommend the Lasko 20 inch Circulating Box Fan, even if you already have an air conditioned space. It supplements the air conditioner to help keep things cool and breezy!.

This was ordered from the website for same day pick up. When I picked up this order it was not in a box and had a price tag on a string attached to the handle. I’ve bought this brand of fan before and this one had a fraction of the power of previous purchases.

Could be this was a floor model that was fobbed off as new and unused? I bought this in May, emailed my questions/concerns to tractor supply the same day and have had no response.

Its a fan. Nothing about this fan will surprise you if youve ever owned a fan before. It has a good motor and a high speed, maintaining consistent air flow without getting hot or petering out. The oscillating function means that you can use it to circulate air in the whole room or, if you prefer, shut that function off and push all air in one steady direction, as required.

Personally, I use mine to keep air circulating around my writing desk. To best utilize space in my old, outdated apartment, I needed to put my writing desk at an angle where the central heat and air conditioning dont move air very effectively.

Therefore, to maintain a constant liveable temperature while writing, I need to circulate air into that area. This fan works well for circulating already temperature controlled air. My only objection is, while the oscillating function works well for panning horizontally, it doesnt have any vertical movement.

You can angle the head a little, but not enough to make any difference. Although the pedestal is adjustable, letting you put the fan at the vertical height you need it, once you have it positioned, it stays there.

If you need air at an angle, this fan wont help you. That being said, for its price range, my experiences have been mostly positive. This fan runs quietly, doesnt consume much energy, and has lasted me several years since I bought it without running down.

As long as you dont need to angle it to blow over or under something, it will serve you well, and probably continue serving a good long time. Its a mostly positive product for its price.

The fan arrived very quickly; grateful for the speedy delivery. It went together very smoothly, but is made mostly of plastic parts the motor housing. The only “steel” piece listed in “Materials” is the pedestal pole.

Fair enough — but then, say that — and don’t lead customers to believe this is a metal fan. Very misleading description. The size of the blades in the ad photo greatly exaggerate their actual size.

This is very misleading. I purchased the fan for two reasons — I’ve had excellent quality from previous Lasko fans, and those wide blades in the photo looked like a perfect fit for my space. Very misleading photo.

Not sure who to point a finger at — Target or Lasko. All that said, the fan has been working fine all day — I hope it continues this good service.

I am fairly handy at putting things together, but one glance at the jumble of plastic parts in this box did not make a good first impression. The instructions were better than most, but could use some improvement.

My specific issue was I inadvertently allowed one of the 2 pieces of the stand to drop out. I had a few false starts trying to determine how to place the two; one end of the slimmer post had a “lip” and it took a few tries to figure how to set this piece in the other.

Best plan, DO NOT take the two apart when you open the box and set parts out. At first I was horrified by the VERY flimsy, light weight plastic pieces. Some how figured “requires assembly” make a picture in my mind of connecting the stand to the fan top.

Not ! You must assemble ALL of the fan, stand, blades, protective screen, etc. etc. The comments here about the very flimsy way the front of the fan (guard) is attached to the back to make the “cage” is really terrible.

Why in the world there are not just a few small screws to attach this is a real mystery, would not take much for it to fall off ! I can see the day when I might attack simple ties of some kind to be on the safe side.

Having said all this, I gave 4 stars. It is VERY inexpensive, although made of very light plastic, it does NOT vibrate or “wiggle”, on low and medium it is very quiet which is nice in a room where you may also be watching TV, or sleeping.

That was a major positive for me. The stand (may in the future) tend to slide down, it is not a great design, but, I don’t think I am going to have need to constantly adjust the height so may never become loose and hard to keep in place.

Probably would never need to adjust this more than 4 times a year. The dials for speed and oscillation also “seem” very weakly made, but again, may prove to be fine. At less than $25 for a floor stand fan, a pretty white.

that does not wiggle or fall over, and is very quiet and moves a lot of air. how can I give it less than 4 stars even if all plastic. Honestly, the light weight is nice since it does not vibrate or look as if it will fall over even at high speed.

I bought this to move cold air around coming from an 8000 BTU air conditioner. First priority was to have an adjustable height pedestal fan, second was oscillation. This fan provides both, but noisily.

Less than two weeks after I started using it, the fan developed a squeak at the base of the motor where it rotates during oscillation (plastic bits rubbing on plastic bits). Because the fan is not perfectly balanced and vibrates a bit, this squeak is a nuisance when the fan is (a) oscillating and (b) vertically oriented (that is, not tilted upwards at all).

It becomes a squeaky resonance that quickly becomes intolerable. The remedy is to tilt the head back one click or more, but that compromises the fan because, by my observation, best airflow results are achieved with the head not tilted.

On the plus side, the fan does move air well, and its dispersion pattern is pretty wide, so opting not to oscillate doesn’t hinder it too badly. Height adjustment is pretty reliable, have not seen the fan drop on its own as I’ve read in other reviews, and its mating point with the base seems solid as well.

Assembly was easy and the instructions were clear. On sale, I think it’s a good value. at regular price, not so much.

Love this fan. It’s definitely bigger than I expected it to be. But that’s ok, I’ll adjust. I bought this for my bedroom. My room is small. So the noise of the fan on low is like its on high lol It definitely puts out a powerful punch on low.

My other fan just like this one is smaller and was more suitable for my room. But again it will be ok. Now for the disappointment side of this fan. I absolutely can’t get the pole to lock in place so therefore it wants to slide down when I use it, which is annoying.

I don’t want to return it. I wish they would just send me another pole, the fan works fine, however I just received it today. But if I can’t get a replacement pole then I guess I’ll just return it and order another one.

But if your thinking about ordering one, it’s a good fan but I recommend it for a larger room because it is kinda loud. I apparently just got a defective pole that won’t tighten up.

I love loud fans for sleeping reasons it’s soothing. These are the best. I got the Lasko pedestal fan model 1850 (white) I always tell everyone to get this brand for the best sleeping fan. It has power to blow cool air.

Easy assembly. My daughter put it together in less than 5 minutes. She is 10. It is cheap plastic but the motor is solid and easy to move from room to room. They don’t tip over easily. The plastic style doesn’t look bad.

Some people are more picky. I have owned a black version and the white. Black looks less cheap than the white if that matters to you. The long skinny fans are quiet and don’t put out as much air. But are good for taking up less space and circulating air.

I owned one of those. But I prefer the 20” fans. Hope this helps you all.
