I bought 3 of these fans last year dropping 70 bucks each I was needing reliability and strong air flow. I was sooooo happy with these until this year. They are increadible with air flow 5 star there.....BUT they have ALL developed a LOUD RATTLE. I have to hold my mouth right and move them just sooooo and noise will stop....but within 5-10 minutes it will start and I have to do the "adjusting" all over again to make the GOD AWFUL LOUD RATTLING to stop. I would have thought I got a bad fan.....but it is ALL three!!!!! So upset! Calling Lasko tomorrow to see what they can recommend and then I will follow up with what they said tomorrow and may give a better review then. SOOOOOO DISAPPOINTED!!!

I bought 3 of these 14 years ago all going strong. They can bevloidervthen your typical box fan but it moves so much more air it is worth the noise. Of it's too loud either turn the fan down,you'd be surprised how much it works on low, or turn up your volume on tv or stereo. I'm buying my fourth one when we moved , my son dropped one down the stairs. It still works but it is noisy so being sent to the garage for when working in there. I do have to admit the black is so much nicer than the mustard color of the original ones I bought

I purchased this fan for a backyard deck. The fan produces a nice breeze and decent mist. I like the ability to adjust the fan speed and the vent position. Contrary to alternative fan reviews, this fan is very easy to connect to a hose. The reason for my “average” rating is due to an issue with the mist nozzles. Each time I use the fan I need to adjust the nozzles with pliers until a high pitched squeaking noise stops. It's a pain but not worth returning the fan. Once I stop the noise, it doesn't start again until the fan is turned off and then on again. Overall, not bad for the price.

I have two of these Lasko fans that I purchased three or so years back. Because of the great air flow from these I decided to purchase another. The new one did not put out near as much air flow as the older ones did. The fan runs smooth and is quiet as the older ones are but not as much air. I was disappointed and will return the fan and purchase another brand.

Noisy

Absolutely love it!!

I expected this to last for more than a couple years!!!! Disappointed for sure!!

Moves a lot of air but this thing is loud and it's not the average fan noise that's loud it sounds like it's grinding on something

To guy who complained after 5 years. That your dust and skin cells. Get it blown out by an air compression.

I bought this fan to keep the air circulating in my garage. Works great! I will be purchasing a second one due to the satisfaction with the first one that I purchased.
