Good quality and powerful design.

Love the high velocity of this fan. Use this outside on porch to keep cool and keep the mosquitoes away.

The Best Of The Best Blower Fans!

The important feature for me about this blower fan is the DC motor. I already have one of Lasko's WhisperForce™ DC Technology equipped tower fans and was extremely impressed with the performance, efficiency, and how quiet it is. For noise, this fan is even quieter than the tower fan that I currently have, which I didn't even think was possible! I live in a very quiet neighborhood and the ambient noise is louder than this fan on the lowest setting. As for wattage, I use a EcoFlow power station to see how much power draw it would take. On the highest setting, speed 9, it uses about 78 watts max. On the low setting, speed 3, it uses about 7 watts. Unfortunately, at fan speeds 1-2 the EcoFlow unit cannot recognize the wattage usage maybe cause the draw is so low. The design is quite nice. There is a little yellow pull and push tab that allows for air flow to widen or become more narrow and is adjustable. The effect is amplified when the speed is increased. This is somewhat similar to your car vent. There is also a timer feature which goes up to 9 hours with a dot light indicating if the timer is active or not. The display does turn off after a few seconds. The cord wrap is a very nice addition as well as the two grounded side plugs for additional fans or light duty equipment. Overall, an excellent fan! The best feature by far is the DC motor's extremely quiet, efficient, and powerful performance!

I’m buying 2 More!

I own many lasco fans, and this one is top of the list. The adjustable nine speed setting and quiet operation is a home run for us. We like to sit on our patio and have it about speed three with a breeze blowing and not hear a fan running. It’s so peaceful. Finally a fan that’s quiet, and has an amazing output.

Not as good as my previous Lasko

I believed I was getting an upgrade from the three speed fan that just went out this summer. So disappointed that this fan doesn’t blow near as hard as my old one.

Average 🤷🏼‍♂️

Decent. Does not move as much air on high as I was hoping. The main reason I bought this was I wanted to plug it in to a smart plug, and be able to turn it on remotely. Every time it is turned off though, you have to manually turn it on by pushing a button.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We understand your disappointment that the fan didn't provide the level of airflow you were hoping for on the high setting. We also appreciate your feedback regarding smart plug compatibility. We know how convenient remote operation can be, and we understand how frustrating it is to have to manually press the power button each time power is restored. Your comments are valuable to us, and we'll be sure to share them with our product team as we continue working to improve our products.

Do Not Buy This Fan

I do not recommend buying this fan. It simply isn't worth the price. The airflow and cooling performance don't come close to what you would expect from a quality utility fan that's designed to keep a room or house cool during the summer. I recently received this fan as a gift, and I was extremely disappointed. The performance is terrible. To get any meaningful airflow, you have to keep it on the highest setting (level 9) almost all the time. Even at its maximum speed, the airflow is so weak that it can't even blow a sheet of paper off a desk or move my window blinds. That's how poor the airflow and blade performance are. I've owned much cheaper fans that produced significantly more air. The digital display and other modern features may look nice, but they add complexity without improving performance. Even worse, taking the fan apart to clean it is a frustrating chore. What should be simple maintenance turns into an unnecessarily complicated process. I highly recommend skipping this model and purchasing its predecessor instead. The older version is significantly more powerful and actually moves air the way a utility fan should. In my opinion, the manufacturer took a great product and ruined it with this redesigned version by focusing on gimmicks instead of performance. Save your money and buy the older model or another quality utility fan. I cannot recommend this one.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We're truly sorry to hear how disappointed you are with the fan's performance. We understand how frustrating it can be to receive a product, especially as a gift, only to find that it doesn't provide the airflow and cooling performance you were expecting. We appreciate you sharing your experience regarding the airflow, cooling effectiveness, cleaning process, and overall design. We understand your concerns, particularly when you feel that the fan requires operation at its highest setting to deliver minimal airflow and does not compare favorably to previous models or less expensive fans you've owned. We also understand your frustration with the maintenance process and your feeling that the additional digital features did not provide enough benefit to offset the performance concerns you experienced. Customer feedback like yours is extremely valuable, as it helps us better understand how our products perform in real-world environments and where improvements may be needed. We're especially sorry that this product did not live up to your expectations or the reputation you've come to expect from Lasko products. We appreciate the time you took to provide such thoughtful and thorough feedback, and we will be sure to share your comments with our team. If you would like additional assistance or believe there may be an issue with the unit's performance, please contact our Customer Care team directly: https://lasko.com/pages/contact-us Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention and for sharing your honest experience.

I feel deceived and want my money back.

I paid almost $100 for this fan, and after using in for some time I feel deceived and want my money back. While it does run quiet and moves a good amount of air, it will not run continuously for more than 9 hours! There needs to be a warning message on the box that alerts potential buyers that this thing just automatically stops after 9 hours and you have to restart it to get it to run for another 9 hours. And so on and so on. Every god forsaken 9 hours! In my opinion this was not described clearly in the product description. The best I could tell is this design flaw was barely mentioned. It wasn’t clear to me what this meant. I assumed it was an optional feature that included a timer, which I think is a good idea, but it was not clear that you couldn’t just turn it on and run it until you turn it off. “This utility blower fan is equipped with user-friendly digital controls, a 9-hour auto-off timer, and daisy chain capability to connect up to 6 units for larger jobs. Its rugged 10' heavy-gauge grounded cord with onboard cord wrap and SureGrip handle make it easy to transport and store.”

AVOID THIS FAN

This fan has a DIGITAL on/off switch. It DOES NOT maintain the previous power state when it loses its electrical connection. Even just a brown out will cause this fan to shut off and then REQUIRE you to press the Power button to turn it BACK ON. This is especially unacceptable when you are trying to use this fan on a job site and are relying on them to remove moisture. The last thing that you want to have to be concerned about is if the fans need to be constantly checked on to confirm that they are still running because someone will have inevitably cycled a breaker.

Wouldn’t recommend

Well, if you don’t like that it has a timer on it don’t buy it because it has a timer . 7 hours is the most that you can put it at. But sometimes even though you push it for seven hours, it still goes off before and then you gotta get up and turn it back on cause there’s no remote. We bought because it puts off a lot of air, but I wouldn’t purchase it again. We recommend it to anybody.

We're glad to hear that the fan provides strong airflow and does a good job of keeping you comfortable. At the same time, we understand your frustration with the timer feature. We can certainly see how inconvenient it would be if the fan shuts off before the selected 7-hour setting has elapsed, especially since the unit does not include a remote control and requires you to get up and turn it back on.
