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

HEATWAVE UPDATE! We’re on day 2 of a heatwave: actual temperature is currently ° 94.6 - heat index is 107.7 ° Indoors is 82 ° and a comfortable 56 % humidity. (Yesterday’s high outside was 96 ° with 111 ° heat index) ::: attached current sensor reading so you can see outdoor temp + heat index as well as current indoor temp and humidity ( bottom ) Wind Machine set to low, windows and blinds closed to keep heat out. Windows are energy efficient. No need to turn the air conditioner on. The house is comfortable and dry with humidity of 56% inside. ( you want to keep humidity below 60 for comfort) I’ve attached a video of the fan so you can hear it on low. Easily have conversation on phone or in person-fan isn’t very loud. ORIGINAL REVIEW: 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, humid rainy 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 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 cooler temperature outside - this works really well, too. ) Very versatile machine. Can be pointed straight down in winter to disperse warm air, or pointed 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 in 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!

I've used this particular fan for about 25 years. The new ones are as good as the old ones. This fan doesn't generate a lot of wind speed, so it may seem underwhelming. But, try moving your hand around in front of it, and you'll feel that it moves air through a large volume of space at once. It's also much less noisy than a typical box fan, with a darker sound. These 2 factors make this the ideal fan for supplementing an air conditioner. Put the fan on a small table near the AC and you can have it direct cold air at a distant spot. I have mine up on a TV table aimed at my back where I sit writing this review. I can feel the cold air on me just like I could if I were directly in front of the AC. So, I'm able to have both fan and AC in the back of the room, and I can sit and work far away from their noise while still getting direct cooling. In this use case, I think the fan is 100% worth it. If you're using this for direct cooling (like having it next to you as you sleep), it will also work but you can get higher airflow from a shop style fan. I recommend using it to move air from an AC as I described, or put it in a window/door to exchange air quickly with the outside. When you use it like that, you'll see the value of this fan. I've bought my second one ever after writing this review (gave the one from 25 years ago to my parents) and I'm glad to say that this is still a good and well-priced design. This fan can turn a stuffy loft space into a nice comfy place to sleep!

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!

The lasko wind machine is the perfect fan for me. Has been since I was a teen. Just the right sound to help you sleep and a great air flow to keep you cool all night. Its worth the price for me.

Nice fan, big as a box fan. I like this because you can tilt it up or down. Moves air pretty good and it’s not real loud. But where the fan connects to the base is thin and it can break, not as easily but can break. Fixed both side with a plastic weld (which I got here at Amazon) still hanging in there moving air

Had to get a floor fan and saw this on Amazon. If you're looking for a floor fan this is a great choice. its lightweight and yet sturdy with a pivoting head. 3 settings for airflow and it runs quieter then my older Lasko box fan. Nice handle to lift and move it and not heavy. I plan to buy two more of these.

He comprado ya tres ventiladores de piso de esta marca y todos han salido muy duraderos. El primero tiene varios años funcionando practicamente todos los dias y sigue trabajando sin fallas importantes. Vivo en Ciudad Juarez, donde el calor es muy fuerte gran parte del año, asi que el ventilador se usa muchas horas al dia y aun asi mantiene buen desempeño. La potencia es suficiente para ventilar una habitacion completa y el flujo de aire es constante. El diseño es sencillo y resistente, no se siente fragil ni inestable. El armado tambien es facil y no requiere herramientas especiales. Algo clave para que duren tanto es el mantenimiento basico: mantenerlos limpios y retirar el polvo acumulado en las aspas y rejillas. El mantenimiento mas complicado seria desarmarlo para una limpieza profunda del motor, pero en caso de que se descomponga un electrico puede cambiar la pieza sin necesidad de comprar otro nuevo, lo cual los hace mas duraderos. Yo tengo tres porque asi todos tenemos uno y no es necesario encender otro equipo. Como punto negativo, el ruido no es molesto pero si es notorio, sobre todo en la velocidad mas alta. Aun asi por la durabilidad, la potencia y que se pueden reparar, me parece una muy buena compra para uso continuo en climas calurosos.

ce ventilateur fonctionne super bien je m’en sœur dans ma chambre et je l’adore pas bruyant bonne capacité au niveau de la ventilation

Duas coisas importantes para saber antes de comprar: 1 - Ele é todo de plástico, e não tem metal, como parece ter julgando pelas fotos 2 - Ele não é silencioso. Eu diria que até dá para dormir com ele na velocidade baixa, mas não é ideal. Esse é na verdade um Circulador de Ar, feito para mover grandes quantidades de ar, e não tem o propósito de ser silencioso. 3 - Ele é ENORME. Deve ter uns 60cm de altura.

Es un buen artículo. Lo recomiendo

O produto chegou antes do previsto e em ordem. Está funcionando bem. É muito bonito, mas.......infelizmente é muito barulhento. Tenho circulador de ar de outra marca, que deixou de fabrica-lo e é muito mais silencioso. A comparação entre os dois com relação ao ruído mostrou que o Lasko ficou muito, mas muito para trás. Produto bonito, mas barulhento.
