LaskoOscillating Tower Fan, Remote Control, Ionizer, 3 Speeds, Timer, for Bedroom, Office, Kitchen 42", Black, T42950

I read many of the reviews on this Lasko 42-inch Wind Curve Fan on Amazon; the reviews by verified purchasers. So, I had a good idea of the pros and cons based on other users experiences before purchasing. I purchased this fan to replace an early model Hitachi tower fan that we used in our bedroom at our ranch house, which is in the Rocky Mountain west. We used the fan year around to circulate air. Our Hitachi fan was probably 20 years old and was making retirement sounds the past year or so. Although it still worked ok it was becoming a little noisy. I was not able to find a new Hitachi-brand tower fan, so I guess they no longer make fans for the USA market? We also have a few Vornado-brand fans and have had good experiences with them. But, I decided to try the Lasko tower fan based on the features it has. It is much taller than my old Hitachi fan, which is a key feature I like. It is also much more quiet at any speed than the Hitachi (even when new). The Lasko fan came well packaged. It was easy to install the base; no problems with instructions or screws provided. The slim-line style of the fan and the dark color tones allow it to blend into our bedroom décor. It is pleasing to the eye, and is generally not noticeable. Our bedroom is about 300 square feet, so is not a large space, and as such we use the Lasko fan on the lowest speed at night when we sleep. The "on" light is quite dim and is a white light. The "ion" light is brighter and is a blue light. I generally run the fan with the "ion" feature active and find that neither light is (nor both together are) bright enough to bother me (or my wife). My wife prefers the fan running with the "ion" feature on. She says she sleeps better with it ionizing. We both like the handy dandy remote control that comes with the fan. We leave it on the night stand next to the bed and can use it to turn the fan on/off and control the other features from our bed. Typically, we forget to turn the fan on until we are in bed - and the old Hitachi fan did not have a remote. Our thanks to the Lasko folks for providing this creature comfort with the Model 2554 42-inch Wind Curve tower fan! We have had the new Lasko fan going steady every night, and often during the day also, for about 2 months with absolutely no issues or problems. Hopefully, it will be reliable for the longer term ahead. For the price, the features, and the style, I am very please with this purchase to date, and so is my wife. This is a cost-effective fan. It was significantly less expensive than our Hitachi fan, so even if it lasts half as long, it will be very cost-effective. We are off to a good start! Stay Tuned!

This fan was a “treat yo self” item to replace this sad oscillating fan I previously had from Food 4 Less on sale and frankly I regret nothing about this purchase!I originally purchased this due to my previous fan not being strong enough - I couldn’t feel a significant breeze when it passed by me. I didn’t buy this specifically because it had an ionizer but because I needed something more powerful and less clunky. Now my room is HUMID for so many reasons: huge old furniture in a tiny room, stale air with no circulation and even when I leave my window open for days the humidity never leaves because there is a tree right outside of it blocking any nice summer breezes. My room is UNBEARABLE. Especially when I have hot flashes, I am dying at night since I can get super easily hot and uncomfortable. With that being said this fan does THE JOB.It is powerful and helps the circulation in my room. I always kept the fan in my room on not because I was hot but to circulate the stale air in my room to avoid my allergies going insane and this fan automatically makes my room feel fresh! My room does not feel as humid and I am in love with this fan!I love that the fan comes with a remote but sadly it requires AAA batteries which is a downside to me because I never have AAA batteries handy only AA. But setting up this fan was quite easy!Funny little advice: if you are tiny please set this up with another person. I am 5’2 and I didn’t realize how tall this tower fan was until I tried to shimmy it out of the box by myself and shook it so hard I smacked myself in the face with the ridiculously tall box. Plus the tower fan is so long that setting up the base on the floor was slightly inconvenient. Setting up the fan is quite self explanatory and very easy to do. This fan is easily almost taller than me and almost defeated me due to height.Do not let my salty opinions discourage you. This fan is great! One other quirk about this is that on its lowest setting it is a bit noisy. I am used to sleeping with a tv on or the radio so be aware of this. Its not super loud but I know some people are very sensitive to noises when sleeping and do not factor this in. It is tolerable for someone like me to sleep while this is on the lowest setting because it just becomes background noise to me and if you are like me and can sleep to tv noises then this shouldn’t be a problem. It has a timer anyways in case you worry about turning it off.I hope you like it as much as I do!
