Lasko Portable Utility Fan, 12” 289 CFM Pivoting High Velocity Air Mover Blower Fan, 3 Speeds, 2 Accessory Outlets 120V, Black, U12104

Not heavy, easy as plug-and-play.This thing blows like a dyson fan in my opinion!We live on 3rd floor of an apartment building and the central ac FAILS on us as soon as it’s 80f outside. This place isn’t even a year old and the ac units are brand new, so I know griping to management about the failure wouldn’t do much. The heat rises and it was staying around 77-81f in the apartment. We have 2 portable ac units and they were running nonstop depending on which room we were in. I knew heavy use of any ac unit whether central or portable would slap on at least $100 to our monthly utility bill. At wits end, I decided to buy this air mover fan because my dad has one (a larger one albeit) and the thing BLOWS so powerfully and is more effective in air movement and cooling compared to a regular box fan, pedestal fan, or table top fan. Just scrap the idea of buying all those useless fans. They are crap compared to an air mover fan!Of course this one fan listed here is a smaller one to focus on maybe 1-2 people at a time so if you’re looking for something more, I would suggest buying the larger version of this fan (the price is higher).I appreciate that this fan is smaller and apartment-friendly. We live by a highway and the white noise it produces is soothing and not overpowering with noise in my opinion.I love the fact it has a carry handle on it so I can just grab it and tote it around from room to room.The blower part is adjustable so you can change the direction angle to aim it up higher or lower in height. I have made use of that feature and that’s something I was looking for when searching for this type of fan.The cord that comes with it is a heavy duty type of cord like the one you see in outdoor extension cords. Definitely durable!The height of this fan is about the size of my indoor domestic cats. It isn’t that big, but it’s definitely worth it for starting out. I anticipate that later on down the line I might buy a second one but that one will probably be bigger.I don’t regret buying this fan at all. I knew it would be small. The price point and the money constraints right now are two reasons why I settled with this size a larger unit. It is still very much worth the cost and if there were no larger units, I’d buy a second one of these! They’re incredibly powerful.I have been able to keep all of my ac units OFF for hours so far today while I have this fan blowing on me and still had a blanket on my legs. Oh I’m Pregnant and do run hot these days and the indoor temp is 81-82 degrees right now.I’m not anemic at all. So with that being said, this fan is a win-win if you’re bothered by utility companies jacking up your utility bills every time you use your ac. It’s totally worth the purchase.The worst that could happen is you don’t like it and can return it. I say you try it out and see for yourself.Obviously, don’t put this fan in the rain or near water or let the dog pee on it like it’s a fire hydrant and you won’t have quality control problems. If you use it for it’s intended purpose and take care of it, it can definitely last a long time. My dad has 2 air movers too. How you take care of them will depict how long they’ll hold up for years to come.TLDR: excellent for reducing utility bills and trying to avoid using ac as much. Blows like a dyson fan. BUY IT, it’s worth the purchase.

Utilisé pour me rafraîchir dans mes sessions de vélo d’intérieur ! Le flux d’air est très puissant, le bruit n’est pas gênant lorsque on écoute de la musique.Le vetilateur est petit et rentre facilement devant le vélo, le flux est orientable de bas en haut

Got the smaller size but it works fine. I can feel the breeze from across a bedroom. It has 3 speeds and thick 3 prong plug. Just plug in and use. I haven't experienced any malfunctions and I've used it consistently. It is a little noisy but it's not too loud to hear the tv

Just got this fan today for my horse barn it moves the air really good. I bought it because the reviews where going and others had said it doesn't get hot like most fans do. I had a few of the bigger master craft fans in my barn but the motor on them get extremely hot and full of dust and hay which is a big no no in any barn and that made me extremely worried. I bought this fan to move air and to help blow the flies off my horses that are very much annoying them this time of year and to also give them relief from the heat. Now I have checked several times to see if it actually gets hot in time but it doesn't feel hot at all even after being on high for a few hours it is a bit loud but not near as loud as the master craft fans. It is not a cheaply priced fan but neither are most fans. If this fan lasts a few weeks with no issues I will be buying a few more because I'm already pretty happy with the fact it doesn't get hot and the air flow is decent and it's not near as loud as a box fan or the large master craft fan.

This little fan is great. I use it for Indoor cycling (ZWIFT). It moves lots of air, keeps me cool. Worked so good, I had to buy another one. Only thing I suggest is getting a remote plug for it. So handy. I don't need to turn on the mini tornado, until I get a sweat on

This thing is powerful man if you’re using it just like a bed fan don’t do it. This thing is super powerful even at the lowest it’s pretty loud too but if you need like a powerful fan like if you’re working or something or if you just need a powerful fan and it moves around and adjust, definitely get it

Let me tell you all something! This fan blows and when I say blows the power of this fan is top tier! I’m buying a second one ASAP! My office is upstairs and operates on its own ac unit it feels like the air isn’t even on I’m in Houston tx so you know it gets really hot here, this fan is worth the money! It’s not loud it’s the power of the air you hear which I don’t mind I just don’t want to be hot! It’s nice and sleek! It’s light weight and I’ll be taking it room to room until I get my second one! The functionality of the fan is really smooth

Amazing. High velocity fan, have a tower fan, this blows it away. I have it set on 1st speed, amazing for menopausal hot flashes. Body gets cooler asap. Had a floor fan before different from this one. This one by far better. Lots wind speed for me. Little one loves it as well. Excellent purchase, thank you lasko. 0 assembly, 0 parts to attach. Love it

This fan has good power and flow, it is noisier than I was expecting.

My drummer and the rhythm guitar player have one of these for live venues.Super durable, ultra quiet, and very coolI even use it while I do woodworking in the shopI imagine it would even work well inside the house, or anywhere you have a reasonable amount of needed circulation.

Our bedroom faces East, and gets blasted by the Sun for a good five or six hours. We have a pretty good portable air conditioner, but the room felt like the hot box on the Bridge on the River Kwai, even with the a/c running continuously. We needed something to circulate the cold air coming from the a/c, as the stream of air coming out of it isn’t very powerful (though it is nice and cool.) We were so desperate for a respite from the heat we hung a thick blanket over the entire window, to block out as much Sun and heat as possible. That helped a bit, but wasn’t enough to make our Easy Bake Oven bedroom comfortable. Sleeping was difficult, to say the least.We researched fans on Amazon, and this one got good reviews. But there was a problem; this fan was out of our budget. We are both on fixed incomes, and have to watch every dollar. But we really didn’t want to buy another big box store fan that would work for four months, then conk out. And we wouldn’t be finding a fan powerful enough to make a difference at the low price points of big box store fans.Happily, this fan was available on a payment plan. (Thank you, Amazon!!!) We counted the hours till it arrived, as we were very tired of feeling like rotisserie chickens rotating beneath those red light bulbs.We plugged it in, and tried it out. Let me tell you- the lowest setting on this fan is stronger than the highest setting of air output of any fan we have ever tried. The medium setting is VERY powerful. As for the highest setting- I was leaning down with my face in the stream of air to test it, and I thought my eyelashes were going to blow off. And that is a good thing! Finally, a fan that was REALLY going to make a difference! And- it really does make a difference.We have the fan on top of the a/c unit, with the output nozzle pulled all the way down, so the stream of air from the fan is very close to the stream of air from the a/c. We have had over a month of 90+ days, and this fan has been a life saver. We try not to run the a/c at night to save money, and the fan is strong enough to keep us both pretty cool. That is, a whole LOT cooler than we were before we bought it! Sleep, thank goodness, is possible again. And the combo of fan + a/c cools the room down almost instantly, whereas before, it took at least 1/2 hour for the a/c to reduce the dense cloud of heat in that stuffy room.As we knew we would be running the fan often, and with it being a higher-priced appliance, we bought the 3 year protection plan to go with it for peace of mind.If you are tired of fans that seem they will really cool off a room but end up being wimpy, we *highly* recommend this fan. One thing: it can get loud, especially at the two highest settings. For us, it’s not uncomfortably loud. It’s a “oh I can hear a fan going” kind of loud. The comfort the fan provides is such a happy relief the sound level of it running is not a deal breaker at all. So for us, the fan’s volume is not a problem.If you are on the fence about trying this fan, you should absolutely go for it. With the weather seemingly on course to be uncomfortably hot from now on for a large portion of the year, and having to endure months of 90 degree temperatures, this fan is REALLY coming in handy, and we are glad we purchased it. Thank you!
