LaskoWind Curve Oscillating Tower Fan, Fresh Air Ionizer, Timer, Remote Control, Portable Electric Fan for Indoor, Bedroom and Home Office Use, 42", Silverwood 2554

UPDATE OVER A YEAR LATER...I've had this for well over a year now, and my initial review (below) stands true. Durability is important, so I wanted my review to include this. My Lasko fan has been running most of the time in the last year, summer, winter, spring, fall. No issues, no fails. Still a fantastic fan. Still very quiet. The remote is still operational. The remote works on other fans, also (bonus). Still in love with this fan! Hope this helps.I've only had this for a few days, but I am in love with it already. Needed this air-mover for a living room about 20 ft by 14 ft. On the lowest setting, I can feel a nice soft breeze from at least 12 ft away. Nice. It is very quiet, and not even noticeable while watching TV. I will admit I bought this mostly for my dogs. They are furry (duh), and really seem to enjoy the cooling of the fans.It's a secondary fan. I bought a (more expensive) Vornado tower fan 6 years ago to help move the air conditioner air from the kitchen to the living room. It is still running great, but does not oscillate, and the remote that came with it had a piece missing, so I've never used that remote.This Lasko fan has a sturdy feeling remote, and I love it when I am being a couch potato. Unfortunately, that is way too often. At least I have my dog fan.The base, as with my other tower fan, is just a plastic disk, and can wobble a bit on carpet. I try to keep the fans out of the way of the crazy cats flying around, and wild dog wagging tails, because stuff gets knocked over by these creatures a lot. However, if you have creatures (cats, dogs, human kids), keep it out of their path of terror, it should be ok.The very low noise is important. I turned it on high to check, and it was not much noisier than the low setting.So far, after only a few days, I like this fan much better than the Vornado. In my experience, the oscillating feature in fans is the first thing to fail. No idea why that happens. I have high hopes for this one.I don't use the sleep/timer mode. If I sleep in the living room, I need it on all the time.Plus it looks nice also (until it gets fur stuck all over it). Take care, be safe!

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!
