Lasko 2521 16 Inch 3-Speed Quiet Adjustable Tilting Wide-Area Oscillating Standing Pedestal Fan for Bedroom, Kitchen, Home, and Office, Black

I've owned one of these fans before which we keep on are screened in back porch. It lasted a few years but it does have a problem with flSliding scale. It wouldn't stay up all the time and I started having to tape it up. So I decided to purchase a new one. It's just as well as the one I had before. Hope this one may will last a little bit longer. I wish they could fix it where it would stay in place after a while but once you unscrew it and move it up and down it starts to not stay in place. But it was a good price. For what I needed. No problems with the shipping. Easy to put together works well.

This fan has worked perfectly for the last few months! We run it on low every night and it’s a great, quiet sound to fall asleep to. We’ve used the high settings to help circulate air and it’s also worked great then! No complaints!

Is good for now i just bought it i will have to come back to see if im still happy when the summer hits. I like the fact that’s is light weight easy to carry and easy to assemble

Good value for the price.

Great fan, can take apart to clean

Very good basic fan

Short attention span? Skip to the summary of pros and cons at the end of this review.Want to delve into the mystical experience? Read on.So I bought 2 of these fans from Amazon as Christmas presents. I should have tested them as soon as they came in. But I didn't test them. Silly me.They seems like perfect presents even considering for the price, this was going to be a cheaply made fan. I had read reviews of the fan ceasing to function properly anywhere from 18 hours to 6 months down the road but the majority of reviews were excellent.My teen-aged child would love this. For the great price, I figured I would get one for my wife also as a "after Christmas surprise gift." I could simply predict her amazement at seeing this fan in action and declaring her undying need to possess one for herself. Perhaps I had dreams of being the Christmas hero by having a second one at my disposal to bestow upon her thus proving my eternal love for her.My teen-aged child gets to open one present on Christmas Eve and the rest on Christmas. This present was picked. Great joy was expressed on how perfect the gift was. We jumped right to the assembly. Quick and easy assembly. Plugged in and I was simply AMAZED at how quiet this thing was. Even more amazing was the fact that the fan was doing absolutely nothing. Turning the danged thing on produced no reaction at all from this fan. I think that I would have rather seen sparks and smoke to at least acknowledge that it was malfunctioning. I then hit Google up to see if there was some "safety switch" or trick that I had missed. Nope! It just refused to acknowledge human existence.As disappointed as my teen-aged child was, I did get totally disheartened as I knew I had another fan that would certainly work. My wife would just not get her "surprise" gift until I could get a return on the defective one.I even tried to see the brighter side of this by figuring I would seemingly perform a "Christmas Miracle" by fixing the fan. Late Christmas Eve (shortly before this review was written) I snuck into the garage and grabbed the motor assembly from the other fan. I re-assembled, plugged up, turned on the switch, and (drum roll please...) .... Wait For It .... Nothing!This fan also seemed to boycott human kind! I can't find any fix for it. Maybe I'm a complete idiot and just can't figure a secret thing out that is so obvious that no one has ever posted a tip on it. Maybe I missed a part where I have to sign up for an air flow subscription. I don't know. All I know is that it is now Christmas and I am definitely short two presents. Yes, I did ensure that the power outlets were fully operational.If someone has an answer to fix this, please let me know. I will happily, if not with a bit of shame, accept even the most condescending of fixes for this.Barring an unknown fix, here's the summary breakdown for both fans:-PROS--Extremely energy efficient!--Super quiet no matter what speed the fan is set to.--Absolutely no risk of fingers (or anything) getting accidentally injured by the fan blades.--Works wonderfully for a "Freeze Frame" movie shot. Certainly no blur when zoomed in on the blades.--May provide you with great inspiration to author a review.--Has an uncanny ability to deflate your unrealistic hopes of being heroic or performing seeming miracles.--It is EXACTLY as pictured.--Performs equally well regardless if it's plugged in or operating "wireless". (Camping affectionados this may be for you!)--May deter would be burglars if placed in your doorway.--Great gag gift.--Has never down-voted any post on Reddit.Com. (Also appears to be kitten friendly but that seems a bit off topic.)--Refuses to partake in any type of revolution.-CON (Yup, just one!)--The fan apparently has a independent consciousness that smugly refuses to obey my wishes, dreams, and desires for it to move air.

I love this fan. Assembly was easy. You don't need to read the assembly instructions. This fan is a tad bit smaller than the last Lasko cooling fan I purchased so it does not push quite as much air but it is ok for my needs. This one is 16" and my last was 18". It is quiet and small. My last lasko fan lasted for many years and I ran it constantly so Lasko makes very sturdy products. This is important to me since I am disabled and on a fixed budget. I don't think you will be disappointed if you decide to buy this fan. Amazon's prices are always the best. It's no wonder Jeff Bezos is a multi-billionaire. LOL!Edit on 7/10/2014 - I have since changed my views on this fan. The fan is good, very durable, and a great price. Now, here is the bad. This 16" fan has only 3 blades. You will be disappointed in the airflow. It does not output enough air even on the highest setting. I just ordered another Lasko fan but I purchased the 5 blade, 18" fan like the one I had before the 16" fan which lasted for years and had great airflow. I use this fan to supplement the AC in my bedroom and I want to feel the cool breeze on the highest setting. You will feel hardly anything with the 16" fan. If this is a concern for you, don't buy the 16" fan. Spend a little more money and buy the 18" instead and you will not be disappointed.
