*I like how quiet it is, how well it works and **Fastly.Cool** , This was perfect to help air out a guest room and to use instead of AC when I only want one room kept cool. Works great!*
These 18 inch are one of the best lasko still makes, i noticed this model had a much thicker blade like the blade isnt flimsy like some of the other models
This fan moves air extremely well and isn’t overly loud but it shouldn’t be considered to be super quiet- the blade noise is a little less noticeable than the motor itself. The problem is that the plug at the end has a fuse in it that you cannot replace. So if you choose to replace the plug do so at your own risk- I did so and it works like new again and won’t stop working. I do use a power strip so it has the breaker fuse and the correct connections that crimp the wires together. I am getting a replacement for this fan mentioned so now I’ll have two fans lol
@@JordanU Hi Jordan, can I please ask you a question? I got the fan and I'm having a hard time screwing on the spinner onto the shaft in order to secure the blade. Did you have problems ? It looks like the shaft doesn't come far enough to grip the spinner OR the grooves on the spinner are not far out enough to grip the shaft.
@@JordanU Thanks Jordan for the very quick answer. I was putting it on counter clockwise, but yesterday I must have been tired and couldn't do it, this morning I screw it on easily. Have a good day!
Interesting, so by comparison, I am replacing a Comfort Zone fan which oscillating motor seized up on me. Its backing grill is not so cheaply made, nor are its inner and outer locking threads. Further its front grill is actually cast from I think iron or even alluminum, perhaps. It snaps into place fantastically. By contrast, this Lasko unit backing grill, front grill, outer and inner locking threads, are super cheaply molded plastic parts. Not that that could not work, but the quality is noticeably night and day, scale 1-10, 8 versus perhaps a 3 or 4. Having, I think the same sort of oscillating vibration issue described herein. I'll try perhaps to remove the grill and rethread the outer and then inner locking threads and see if that makes a difference. Maybe snug not tight is better, I do not know. I noticed when placing the grill, the backing one seemed a bit mishapen, probably because it was tight not snug, shrug... Again, cheaply made molded (or even perhaps 3D printed... ugh) parts.
I Have a quick question. I am in love with my box fan. I can’t sleep without it! It’s weird though because I am sensitive to other noises I do notice that the sound of this one is higher as you noted. :/ I wanted one on a pedestal though instead of propping up the box fan but would you say that the sound is different than that of a box fan? It sounds like it on the video. If so I’ll probably just stick to what I know. Thank you for your feedback!
The manufacturing is so inconsistent with these fans I've found even the same model box fans sound different than each other.. This fan uses a similar blade to the box fans but a different guard, so it does have a similar sound to it..
I have the same fan and awesome review. One question I have is....why do you have so many telephones in your room??? Not being a wise ass, but I couldn't help but notice.
I have this model. I enjoy having it however that base really makes the fan twice as loud. Granted all the Laskos I have that same rattling problem with the base but it seems like it rattles more than the others. I’d prefer the low to be slower. However I enjoy the white noise it produces. Agreed with the high pitched sound. It is noticeable.
I’m betting it’s because the blends bend and it’s just causing a noise. I don’t really know. The fan is loud enough to drain it out unless you really listen to it.
Depends on how dusty your environment is. The motor should be blown out with compressed air regularly, as the dust accumulation will cause it to run hot. The blades and guard should be cleaned when there's a thick visible accumulation.
Easily addressed IMO... but thank you for the review. For the base, it accommodates the potential swing of the oscillation, from any angle. Circles are geometrically best for that action. For the 'handle', it is the column, AFAIK, that is what you grab if you are moving it around. I get it, a proper handle might work better, but it is not a floor fan, so some parts serve a dual purpose. But as you said in another video and this one, for the money, it is not half bad, it is what it is. And frankly, all of these style units have one fatal flaw, if the motor seizes for any reason, you are screwed.
I wonder if any manufacturer is willing to make a 360 degree rotating fan. Electro-mechanical, rotational tornado sirens have this "collector ring" system where there is a set of copper rings and some wire "brushes" that contact the rings when the head is rotating. Just imagine putting on a set of blades instead of the chopper and stater assembly of a tornado siren. Boom, 360 degree rotating fan.
On the third exchange of the S18965 model within 3 weeks, we decided to write. Not that great a fan, by engineering standards. It does look good and have nice features/design. The power supply/electronics board makes a loud hum noise when slowed to any speed other than high. It also doesn't have a very "slowest" speed and makes too much noise and wind on the lowest speed. Some of the pedestal design (post and base) magnifies the hum noise from the fan head unit. Other than this unnecessary noise and inability to run at slower speeds, a great fan. We took ours back due to this. Lasko needs to re-engineer the power supply/main board with better components to minimized the hum and design a better speed ratios from high to the lower speed settings. This fan design is very loud and not good for bedrooms or rooms that need quiet. Truly, the inside parts on Lasko fans are poor quality. We have other brand fans that don't make any motor noises at all other than the noise from the fan blade itself. Listening to that hum sound is very backwards
The one I have utilizes a typical mechanical 3 speed dial.. I don't trust those electronic controls.. The fan is definitely loud, but I don't find on mine that there's a lot of motor noise,, it's more just air noise.. Granted it's far more air noise than necessary,, I have older fans that are twice as powerful as this and don't make nearly as much noise.. The skinny blades and thick plastic guards really is just not good engineering at all..
Agreed. Likely the Switch is a better design vs. the remote due to the electronics that have to support it. Check one of these out if you see one, they are at Costco where we got ours. They are obviously noisy in a quiet room. The fan blade design could be better at the tip, where all the noise is.
Hi Jordan u I wanna tell u that I have one and the blade shakes and make a noise so and it is shaky but yours not shaky because your in a country I don't now but I live Florida and Florida fans are cheap because its the mainstays not the lasko ......
@@JordanU wait a sec, These probably generate large amounts of "wind", but at much lower speeds, also If there is more blades. Im talking about the fan blades. Plus when turned on the fan makes a high pitched sound, if there is less blades it makes a low pitched sound.
@@JordanU Im confused... My physics teacher taught me the wrong information, maybe I should relearn physics, or actually if you were talking about the fan, I was sorry for that.
Another nice fan cooool but the base is not. Good an yea it works or not tell me and I love your reviews I watch your videos everyday and its nice and cooooooll
