LASKO 20 In. Box Fan

I have been using it for 2 years and it still works great. I rarely use the high setting because I have a small room, but the low setting is great for sleeping because it isn't very loud.

My only complaint, as will ALL fans that I've owned, are that they get dusty rather quickly and are difficult to clean. You have to unscrew the plastic screens, wipe the fan blade, hose down the screens, and screw them pack on.

I've purchased a larger Lasko fan here at Amazon,and was pleased to find that this 20 " box fan is of the same excellent quality as the larger models in the product line

This a very sturdily constructed fan, the plastic grill is nice and thick,the control knob is also nice and sturdy and easy to turn.The fan is very quiet and moves quite a bit of air. This is a much better fan than those $19.99 numbers you see in stores during the summer...so for the same price why not get the best ?

I have been using these fans for the stalls in our horse barn for years. It keeps the flies away and cools down the whole barn. The barn is dusty and the fans collect a lot of dirt. I wash them down each year and they are like new. The fans I have now are on their third barn year. In a normal house I'm sure they would last forever. They are a little noisy, but the horses don't care.


Lasko sells these fans without even trying--and that's no small feat !!!   October 22, 2007

This three speed box fan by Lasko is exactly the way it is advertised here. It comes already assembled so setup is a breeze--just remove it from the box, set it up on a table and turn it on! The three speeds all operate relatively quietly and the fan gets the air circulating rather quickly.

The price is right for what you get: it works strong and hard to create good air flow. The box fan also cools the room down on days when you can't use an air conditioner or when you simply don't want to use one. Moreover, like other reviewers have noted, it blocks out sounds and it's even nice to have it on while I'm sleeping!

I recommend that the fan stand on a flat surface about three or four feet high so that the air current it creates reaches you whether you're lying down or walking around the room. It is economical in that it won't make your electric bill spike upward, too.

Overall, this is a great fan and I highly recommend it as one of the best fans out there in this size and price range. It will not disappoint you!
