Lasko 20" Black High Velocity Wall Mount Fan with Pivoting Head - 3 Speeds, Ideal Wall Mount Fan or Floor Fans for Home, Garage, Attic, 2264QM

I was recently talking to a friend who is in the market for a fan, she asked my opinion since I am borderline obsessed with mine, which spurred me to go back and write this review years later.I ordered this fan 5 years ago and have had it running on high non-stop (aside from vacations away from home) in my bedroom on a small table. I love it more than anything in my life lolThe white/brown noise is perfect for me, so when I sleep away from home, I attempt to replicate it with audio of Spotify, but nothing compares.As for airflow, it has three speeds and I have mine perpetually running on high, which continuously keeps air fresh and moving throughout my room/back of the house.I've had zero mechanical issues with this fan in the past 5 years (knock on wood). It's easy to clean by taking a wet rag to the front of it or holding a shop vac up to the back of it (I have multiple dogs, so it collects dander as expected, but never enough to interfere with it working properly).This fan is a workhorse, incredibly well made- sturdy without being heavy or cumbersome to move or tilt. I can't recommend this fan more highly!

This Lasko fan is pretty powerful for a deck fan, which is great when you want something to cut through the heat on those really hot days. I can place it far enough away so it's not too loud, but still close enough to keep the mosquitos at bay (I swear they love me more than anyone else). The three speeds are good and give you some options depending on how strong of a breeze you want. It's pretty easy to install, although I did have to drill a couple extra holes in my deck because it wasn't quite lined up right with the studs.I guess the only thing that could be improved is maybe adding some kind of remote control so you don't have to walk over to turn it on and off. But overall, it's a pretty solid fan for the price. I haven't had any issues with it yet, and it seems pretty well-built (the metal blades are definitely a plus). It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it does the job.

Im not joking ive been running this fan almost non stop for more 2 years low energy bill cost like at max 5 dollars. Keeps air flowing still waiting for the motor to die. Must buy if you looking for a great powerful fan. Industrial or for other reasons. I use it to suck the cat hair out of my room.

We bought our first 20" fan in 2015 and it is still going strong. We added another one in 2020 when the road crew started digging up the street in front of our house. What we learned is that we bought the best 20X20 inch filter and zip tied it to the back of the fan. This way it filtered out all the dust that was coming in to the house even with the windows closed. The sound of the fan also helped dround out the equipment noise so we could keep sleeping. The workers would start at sun up and go until sun down.We live in a remote isolated village on the western coast of Alaska, so sun up was 3:30 am and sun down was after 10 pm.We use these fans all year long. We have 2 weeks in the summer when it gets in the high 70's to low 80's in the house. At 80° we melt! Keep in mind that our winters we have at least two weeks of -20°!!! Christmas day of 2023 it was -38°.The other thing we discovered was when we took off the filter because it was full and needed changing, we had to wait for our order to come in by plane. We went for 2 weeks with out the filters and my allergies went bulistic. My eyes would not stop burning.We also use this fan to dry our laundry which we put on a wooden rack. It is MUCH cheaper on the electric bill than using the electric dryer! Anyway to cut corners on the electric bill we do as it is .50 a kilowatt up here. We came from a place between two dams on the Columbia River that electricity was .03 a kilowatt!Our only polution up here in the Alaska Bush is dust.Have a great day! We are!

I am Very particular and research most items before purchasing, that being said i researched alot of fans before i purchased this one. The intended purpose is garage use to circulate air in our 20x20 Florida garage when i am out there working. I have an existing outlet to plug a fan into on the front and the right and left wall and wanted a fan that i could position anywhere in the garage based on where i needed the air flow. The exact fan i purchased was the Lasko 2265QM fan silver in color. The Good.....Fan arrived in two days and was not damaged during shipment . Fan was easy to assemble as most of it was together but the center tube of the stand and the switch mounted to the tube. very minimal assembly with no tools needed. The finish in silver was consistant with no scratches or flaws and paint was overall in excellent shape. Out of the box everything looked ok. The Bad...... A couple of things became apparent during unpacking during the light assembly, the Biggest negative being the rubber grommets to hold the fan in the tilt position did not keep the fan held in place and the motor placement caused the fan to tilt upright some rather than stay in a vertical position. The switch housing made out of plastic could have been more robust and durable. The knob mounting bolt is threaded into a metal bushing and you do not want to over tighten the knob for fear the plastic housing will break. The fan control seemed a bit lightweight as well and an after thought is although it is very convenient to have the speed control on the front it may not be the best position for long term durability. perhaps the speed control on the back side motor housing would be more durable. The cord is three prong and heavy duty and would have been better at 10 ft in length. the cage that surrounds the aluminum blades is metal and is well build for protecting the blades over the cheap plastic shrouds you see on other fans. The Ugly ... the first thing out of the box i had to correct was the fan not staying in a vertical position. The bolt on each side is a 5/16 carriage bolt with a shoulder and does not turn as you tighten the Nylok 5/16" nut which is good. However the rubber bushing does not keep the fan positioned even with the nut tightened all the way in till it hits the shoulder and can not be tightened any further. The fix is to take the nut off the bolt and shim it with a fiber washer ,metal washer, or additional lock washers so that when the nut get's tightened there is sufficient friction to hold the fan in place. Both sides were altered with shims to address the loose condition, however in doing so one bolt fell out and the fan cage had to be taken off to position the bolt back into the fan shroud. the swinging clips-all 8 or so were very difficult to open to release the front half of the shroud and there is a small screw in the lower part of the shroud that has to be removed to split the shroud. Once a 5/16 fiber washer, flat washer, and external lock washer was added to each bolt the loose fan positioning was corrected. may be a future issue down the road. more compression on the rubber grommet will probably break down faster and cause the grommet to crack and fail. The switch was mounted with the one single knob with screw and tightened snug only and not over tightened, cracking the switch that is wired midpoint on the fan wires would not be an easy fix! The short cord was remedied already because i had bought a 10 ft medium heavy extension cord for our shop vac when i vacuum out the car. Fan Noise...........my school of thought.... less air movement equals quieter fan, less air movement means fan closer to where your working. Being this is a fan for a 20 by 20 garage i was less concerned with the noise and more concerned with the air being moved and if the fan made too much noise i could position it a bit further away from where i am working. Reported cfm for this fan is 3160 cfm on low, 3320 cfm on medium, and 3460 on high speed. My garage is small and when the car is inside i have approx 8' by 19' space on one side, of which the grill, lawnmower , pressure washer, tool boxes, charging station . and two cabinets take up 2/3 of the area. my work bench is a 3' square of 1/2" plywood modified so it sits on top of our open square plastic garbage can. This fan sits on top of the lid on our recycling plastic square can and the balance of the fan even on high is well enough it will not vibrate and fall off. Others have mentioned the cyclic type noise on low speed and i did not find that to be a problem or objectionable in my case. yes the back of the fan motor is plastic and seems rather chincy for a fan that is advertised as industrial! Took me a few hours on online research on google, Youtube, as well as forum reviews to find out that every fan or product made has it's strengths and weaknesses and after all my scouring the internet decided to go with the Lasko brand and the fan that had the most ratings or purchases. this is the same fan as the black in color 20" Lasko fan item 2264qm other than color. switches could have slight differances as well. If i was looking for a quieter fan for a different in house situation this would not be the fan of first choice.
