The LASKO 42-INCH WIND CURVE tower fan is a good, reliable fan that does
an excellent job cooling our large family room. The recent heat wave
(still going on here in Maryland) sent me in search of a fan to
supplement our portable air conditioning and ceiling fan. After reading tons of
reviews here on Amazon,
Pros:
1) The fan comes assembled - only the base needs to be attached (you'll need a Phillips-head screwdriver). I had no trouble getting the two halves of the base to fit together, and then attaching it to the fan itself. The instructions are clear. No problems at all.
2) Operating the fan is easy - whether with the remote control (included) or by using the buttons on the top of the fan. You will need to pick up two AAA batteries for the remote. The buttons are coded with icons to make it easy to turn on the fan, switch speeds, and add oscillation or the ionizer feature.
3) Great job circulating air, with or without using oscillation -- when combined with the ceiling fan in our family room, it really does feel like we're surrounded with comfortable spring breezes!
4) Very, very quiet - in fact, it's much quieter than the little $20 fans we've placed around the room in the past to circulate the air. I hardly notice that it's on at all.
Cons:
1) It's a bit large and a tad top-heavy - the base is light-weight plastic, which makes the fan seem a bit top-heavy, especially on thick carpet. So far, we haven't had a problem with this, but I could see it falling over easily if someone bumped into it.
2) Oscillation range is fairly small -- it works fine for two people sitting on the sofa watching TV, but it isn't a wide enough range to effectively reach an entire room full of people. But if you're looking for something that oscillates from one side of the room to the other, this might not be the fan for you.
That's about it - if you're looking for a good portable air conditioner for a reasonable price, I suggest ordering one of these. It's classy-looking too!
