I actually ended up buying 2 of these fans since they're a excellent value.They're capable of producing strong enough wind for use with garage projects & such but they're ALSO still small and quiet enough to be used as a bedroom fan during sleep when set to 1.They're great for drying your hair,keeping you cool during sleep,blowing dust away from you while working with power tools,etc.You get heavy-duty commercial grade performance but it's STILL very practical for everyday household uses too.The price is great & it beats the pants off of using those wimpy box fans that'll still cost you $20+ at retail stores...I'll never buy small cheap grocery store fans again.(:

i bought this fan last july in 2017 its nots like the old fans like 10+ years like a patton, but for a todays fan its pretty good fan its the best u can buy for today, if you want this fan to last long time buy some turbine oil lube it once a year it will last you long time

This fan pictured here is not what I received. Because I have a fan that looks like this picture & love it. This fan is not the same & costs more. The dials are different, it seems to be a lighter fan which makes it scoot around on the floor. Not happy with this one.

This fan has a high pitch resonance sound. I returned for another and it does it also. If you move it around it settles down. This fan is obviously built for work areas or garages. SUPER POWERFUL. We but in our family room add on and its paid for itself in less than two months lowering our electrical bills. Pro's it moves air and easy to clean, remove clips and wipe dust of blades at end of season. (I have pitched perfectly good fans that got dusty) Con's its NOISY. We have to turn it off sometimes when the TV is on in the evening, wish it had a lower setting. I do not regret this purchase, It will save me over $40 in August and has saved me over $80 so far and its been extra hot this year.

Construction solid, metal blades, moves air great , downside while operating VERY LOUD literally have to raise volume on TV almost to max . Truthfully given what I know now I would not have purchased this high velocity type but I will live with it instead of going through trouble of return.

I'm that person that enjoys fans. I have to have the fan and ac on at the same time I own a box lasko fan and I bought this lasko max fan today!!! Wow is all I can say I wish I would have bought this a long time ago it blows really Great better than the box fan even at the level 2 on the dial it blows cold!!! I'm so happy with this purchase I PROMISE YOU THIS IS NOT A WASTE OF MONEY!!! Lasko you really did a great job when making this fan!!!

Our AC went out about a week ago and can't be repaired until a part arrives. In the meantime, this fan is keeping our house quite comfortable, despite the hot weather. As other reviewers have said, it moves a LOT of air. And yes, it's loud. No way around that. It's not heavy, and that's good because I move it into whatever room we're using at the moment. I'm eager to have my AC back, but this fan has kept us quite comfortable even though daytime temps are already in the 80s.

Iv had these for two years now in my garage. We use them for working out, cooling off after working in the yard, we used them in the house when our AC stopped working. They are a great staple to any house. Can be mounted on the wall but we prefer to move them where needed. Only down side is cord is not very long, but easy fix with extension cord.

This fan has power! I run it on low, and it is amazing how much power it has and how it cools a room off fast. It you don't like the sound of a fan running, this may be to loud for you. I grew up using fans, not A/C, and I find the sound soothing. It helps me to go to sleep at night. It is not bulky, and again, very powerful. Love it!

The fan is easy to put together. You have to put on the base and attach the temp gage to the arm of the fan. The air from this fan runs a bit loud, but the air flow is awesome. On low the air from this fan can be felt about eight to ten feet away. If you don't have an issue with the noise, this is an awesome fan. I have never ran this fan on any other setting than low because it does a fantastic job on this setting. The face of the fan can be adjusted to point directly up at the ceiling or angled so the air is brushing against the floor. Of course you can place the fan so that the air is blowing straight ahead. I have this fan sitting in a full-sized armed computer chair and it had no room to spare. I would say the base needs about 28 inches. I had this fan sitting in my bathroom with the door open so I could get away from the noise and still feel the air, and this worked perfectly. I would say this fan is an awesome investment, and those metal fan blades are worth their weight in gold.
