Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Three Speed Window Fan, 16"
Customer Review: Great heater, but I was hoping for more for $50
Summary: 4 Stars
It heats up nicely. It's a very gentle but warming heat. The beeping is very common in oscillating fans, especially from Lasko, and I got used to it the day I bought it. It's good to know you are doing something, like another reviewer said.
The only thing I don't like is the fact that this it has a fan, and can oscillate, but you can't just have the fan blow air... I tried looking for that feature in many heaters, but it just didn't happen. It is a great value, though. Go get one yourself!
Customer Review: ***Very Good Heater***
Summary: 5 Stars
Looking at the other reviews a person would not know if it was a bottle wine they had bought or a heater. Does anyone want any cheese with their whine? I have never heard so much crying. I bought my Lasko over a year ago and it works great. I have an 18' x 16' bedroom and it warms it up enough for me. Yes, it has little idiosyncrasies you have to get used to like randomly sampling the air temperature to see if it needs to come on or not. I love the remote control & I like the oscillating feature. I don't care much about the low fan setting defaulting to the max temperature. The red light is a bonus to let you know it is plugged in. All the beeping is a safety feature as far as I am concerned so you can hear it being turned on along with confirmation of your remote commands. I am buying another one this year for a relative. Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
I thought I would try this fan as a replacement for my Lakewood 18-inch window fan, which looks almost exactly the same in the ads. I have gone through three of the Lakewood fans over the last 18 years, and they were great for drawing cool air through my entire house. Unfortunately, the Lasko fan is less than half as powerful (0.83 amps vs. 2.0 amps). The high speed on this fan produces about as much wind as the low speed on the Lakewood fan. I will be returning this fan.Customer Review: Good, solid performer.
Summary: 5 Stars
The first fan I purchased like this was in 1992 from Sears. It had their name on it, but it was obviously built by Lasko. That original is still functional, but after 14 years, it was time for a new one. Must be a proven, solid design to have been in production this long. It moves the air through my home easily, but my house is smallish, only about 1500 square ft. My only gripe concerns the fan guard, or grill, which faces towards the outside, through the open window. This grill is plastic, which we all know doesn't last forever. Exposed to direct sunlight and the elements, this grill will eventually become brittle. It takes several years for that to happen, but that's what happened with the first fan.
I hope that Lasko will in the future consider making this grill out of metal, like the one facing the inside.
One last thing........if, like me, you're sick of seeing "Made in China" stamped on everything, this fan is American-made.
Customer Review: Lasko........bad move.

Lasko........bad move. I gave it one star because I had to just to get the posting. Mine broke down within 5 days of ownership. And customer service, I don't really need to say anything. Just try calling them at 800-233-0268. I left two voice mails over five days and no one has called me back. Yep, thats what you get, a voicemail box.
And Amazon, I owe you an apology. I strayed from your service and went to the Boys and Girls at "newegg.com". They wanted nothing to do with standing behind the product. I've always recieved the best service from Amazon. I'll never stray again.
