Lasko Wind Machine Fan, Air Circulator Fan with 3 Speeds, 20" Model 3300, Gray

I just bought this to replace the exact same fan I bought more than 15 years ago. The new one is EXACTLY like the old one, and that says everything. How many products in this world are good enough to be sold for 15 or more years with absolutely no change? That is a singular achievement.This is, I believe, the best floor fan you can possibly get. For more than 15 years, it worked flawlessly for me. There were times in summer when it would run weeks without ever being turned off. It's quiet, it has three excellent settings and it can be reliably tilted to any angle you need. Even in winter, you can aim it at the ceiling to get that warm air moving and circulate it throughout the room.Mine failed because the plastic knob that controls the switch finally just crumbled into an unusable mess. Using pliers to turn it off and on doesn't really feel safe. I guess I could jury-rig something, but that's more hassle than I need for a simple fan. Other than improving that switch knob, I can't imagine anything else they could do to make it better. Apparently, neither could the manufacturer!At my age, this is a product that's surely going to outlive me!

I initially ordered 4 of these because it's been so hot and humid already this year that the demand on my whole house AC has caused it to struggle to keep things as cool as I like. These have been enough to keep the inside temperature nice and cool while not having to constantly adjust my AC temperature. I turn them on in the afternoon and they allow my AC unit to run more efficiently. They came fully assembled and ready to go. They're loose inside the box so there's no packaging like styrofoam to mess with. The fans are very lightweight but steady on the floor, and they're easy to move around. I wasn't sure if I was going to like a floor fan, but they are actually pretty nice because you can tilt them up and down unlike the square box fans. That feature allows you not to have them blowing in you right in your face constantly. There are 3 settings - high, medium, and low. Unless you have more than one fan in the same room they are fairly quiet depending on the setting - high being the loudest, and low being the quietest. They haven't been too loud to have to try and talk over or hear the tv, except for the room that I have two in. It's still early summer, but come August when it's the hottest will be the real test. If things change at that time I will update my review. Right now, today, I am very pleased with their preformance and would highly recommend them.

I bought this Lasko Wind Machine because I have another Lasko (a 16" table fan) but needed one for much warmer months with more wind. I can use both by having one blow out one window while the other blows in.This fan ( actually air circulator ) is fantastic. It’s like getting a wind chill in your house.We had some real warm days and I eventually turned on the air conditioning- but I turned it up to 76 ° and pointed the fan directly at the ceiling. It really helped to disperse the cool air that way while not having to turn the air conditioning temperature lower- thereby using less energy.On days where AC isn’t needed, this fan provides a nice breeze with the windows open, blowing that cool air around from outside. ( the house is tight- so when it’s warm in here and a few degrees cooler outside - this works really well. )Very versatile machine. Can be pointed straight down in winter to disperse warm air, up to spread the cool air- pointing out the window to exhaust- just a real great circulator all around, with Lasko’s blue safety plug.I’m enclosing a photo of my Wind Machine. I painted the blue parts white because my decor doesn’t have any blue and I wanted it to blend in rather than stand out. I keep it a room that’s mostly white and seafoam green with a light grey flooring - not the room in the photo.Extremely easy to take apart- the side knobs come off- the handle comes off- easy to clean.Very well built circulator- worked right out of the box. Sturdy and all 3 speeds are powerful. Not real loud even on the highest setting.I get that the cords can’t be super long for a reason but another 10-12" would give more options for placement since you can not use extension cords with fans or circulators for safety reasons.Still a 5 star 🌟 machine. Definitely recommend!

This fan is amazing. I ordered it because we are forewarned this will be a brutal hot summer in our area. We have had 3 hot summers with 40-50 days in the 90s and last year a week over 100. This amazing fan arrived today and I plugged it in on low for a gentle breeze down 30 ft hallway hall into living room. Very quiet, lovely, comfortable summer breeze, I turned it on high and WOW, power plus.If you are in need of a fan for summer season order this one fast. They are fantastic, great price right now. They will sell out fast. No more silly remotes to loose, no charging batteries or finding one of those hated little cube things. This fan is all together the easiest most efficient appliance in my house to plug in and go. 3 tilt positions, 3 speeds, no digital nonsense to fiddle with 6 buttons. I buy a couple new fans every 3-4 summers. I have had at least a dozen. Some in the $100s. This fan is the best of the lot. No one will dare borrow this one. This fan is a treasure.
