I wanted a fan that has a strong breeze and this one fits the bill. It gets so hot in my 2nd story even with air conditioning that I need a good fan to cool down the bedroom. It is a bit loud so I cannot hear the TV but I use my bluetooth earbuds and that works great. I love the oscillation feature, the sleep timing and 3 power levels. I like that the air intake is on both sides near the bottom of the fan so it does not suck in my sheers. It is lightweight so is very easy to move around. It sits about 3 feet high (I did not measure) and I can use the lever to direct the breeze up or down. This is perfect for me!Replaced an older version of this same fan. This was the second attempt at getting it right. What you got to have to move air effectively in a larger room space, is a High Vilocity fan. We thought all the tower fans were, and that is Definitely Not the case. Our last one finally died on us after close to at least 5 or 6 years of 24x7 use. Only downside is not much ability to cleaning them, which is what I found was likely why our old one died. They get really cacked with dust bunnies! There is just none better, and it's a great looking and performing appliance.This thing is the best fan I've ever owned. The wind power this produces helps keep me cool while I sleep. I even purchased another one for my second home. Can't sleep without it!Like this fan a lot... my granddaughter took the one I had to her dorm room and I just had to replace it..I'd recommend this fan for any room...it is powerful!An excellent value. It is everything I was hoping for. High velocity and low noise!We had the tall one before and it seems Lasko stopped making the tall one. This one is easily a foot shorter which we didn't like. But as a fan it works very nice and doesn't have much noise. It works for what we need (nightime bed time use) and it keeps us from running the AC all night.Most powerful tower fan available and we use as white noise while sleeping. Now have 5 of these fans.Best lasko fan we have purchased. Lasko fans are amazing this one is my favorite and worth every cent.Es el que mejor flujo de aire proporciona, en el nivel más bajo es mucho más fuerte que el nivel más alto de la mayoría de torre, si quieres mucho aire sin importar el ruido, es tu mejor opción, si buscas un ventilador que no haga ruido te vas a desepcionar ya que un alto flujo genera mucho ruido así que para que sean silenciosos estos no crean flujos de aire altos, a nosotros nos encantó- 3 niveles de potencia- temporizador de 1 a 7 horas- oscilante- Todas las funciones operables desde el control remotoI was worried that it would be too loud based on the reviews but it's ok really, don't worry. At the lowest setting it's as loud as you would expect a tower fan to be. For me it's ok for sleeping or watch tv. On the highest setting it's a bit loud, but I must point out that this fan is one of the most powerful you can get. Others might be quieter but they won't move as much air as this one. That's what I like, I leave it at the lowest setting most of the time but if I want more AT LEAST I CAN.Here's something important:I removed the grills on either sides (you'll need a torx screwdriver) and sandwiched a layer of stainless steel mesh grill and a layer of dust filter so the interior never gets dirty (the stainless steel mesh grill is to prevent the dust filter from being sucked in, you could also use plastic mesh grill or whatever is rigid enough and have a good airflow). I vacuum them every 2 weeks so they don't clog and prevent air from getting in freely. I must warn you, this might void your warranty but if you want your fan to be as powerful as it was on day one in the future and prevent it from breaking, developing unwanted noises and so on, you need to do this, otherwise you could try to disassemble it to clean it but I've seen other people do it and it looks like a long and difficult job.Also, the light form the power button is very bright, you may want to but a piece of electrical tape or something over it if you use it at night in your bedroom.Nice looking unit but extremely loud. I should have paid attention to the negative reviews when they said it was loud. I will give it a chance but it doesn't look good.We usually don't need a fan but the heat was so intense during that period that I ordered this fan, I thought I had read it was quiet but I could have made a mistake. The fan is nice and slim and has three different settings and can swivel which is an asset! The remote is another function which I really like. I would recommend this to anyone. Its worth the price! It will be easy to store because its not bulky!
