Lasko 2551 - 42 IN W/REMOTE TOWER FAN

Good performer for a small room

Strengths: Has a small slot in the back for holding the remote. The fan is pretty silent when it's on and when in oscillation. Good for small rooms.

Weaknesses: Airflow is not too powerful for a big room, oscillation spread is not too great. The fan starts around 10" or so above the ground.

Summary: The looks of this is pretty good. For a small to mid size room, this is very good and one would feel impressed with the air blowing out of this fan. However, if you have a hall or a big room, on the most powerful speed, you'd find it lacking. The range of rotation during oscillation is not too great either, doesn't even cover upto 75 degrees in a circle. During hot summer months, you'd wish for something more powerful. I'm still going to keep mine since it is alright as my secondary fan in my office.

Nice idea, poor motor already failed.

Strengths: Quiet

Weaknesses: Short longevity

Summary: I put this in the corner of my small home office and only ran it on low. After about 25 hours of use I noticed a small knocking noise that would come and go, progressively getting worse until I could no longer tolerate the noise and it could be heard over my phone conversations. I contacted Lasko support and was told they don't carry parts for it and "sorry for the inconvenience". This means I paid about $3/hour for its use and its no good. I'm a pretty good mechanic and had no trouble disassembling the unit and found the motor shaft rotated through a bearing that is already worn out. I'll probably figure a way to fix it but this should have never happened and I have researched the net to find out this is a common problem with this model. Shame on Lasko for not taking responsibility.

good tower fan

Strengths: good looking fan with power

Weaknesses: wish it had bigger angles for rotation

Summary: I really liked this fan I bought on sale from walgreens. The fan looks very stylish and also has a remote. It has a ionizer too (but I cant tell the difference when I put it on).

The fan is quite powerful as compared to my other tower fan (holmes). It has a timer which I find it very convenient.

Lots of multi-function features

Strengths: Space-saving, quiet, remote control with multiple settings, large range of oscillation

Weaknesses: Not as powerful of a breeze as pedestal fans

Summary: I did some research and found the Lasko fans are rated very well, and they received rave reviews by consumers. Good Housekeeping ranked the 40" Lasko 2530 tower fan at #1. The Lasko 2530 looks identical to the Lasko 2551, except the latter fan is taller at 42". I bought the Lasko 2551 at Walgreens for $49.99 minus a June $10 EasySaver rebate and minus a $5 off $20 coupon they distribute occasionally via e-mail. It's a nice-looking fan with several features my previous tower fan did not have. It has a remote control with identical buttons as the top of the fan -- on/off, low-med-high settings, oscillating, a timer from 1/2 hour to 7.5 hours, and an ionizer. It's light-weight and space-saving, so I can easily transfer it between the bedroom and the kitchen. It has a nice air flow, but it's definitely not as powerful as pedestal fans. I hope this fan lasts a long time, unlike my other tower fan that quit after one year.

My fan experience

Strengths: Creates a nice breeze

Weaknesses: Unstable

Summary: I just received my fan, quick shipping. It was very easy to assemble. After it was assembled, I noticed that it is a little unstable at the bottem and wobbles when it is on. The remote control makes this appliance very convenient.

Lasko 42" Wind Curve Tower Fan - Quiet, Sleek, Space Saving

Strengths: Quiet, Circulate A Lot of Air, Space Saver, Sleek Look

Weaknesses: manual doesn't show how to clean the fan

Summary: I bought this fan from Walgreens after $10 easy saver. This is my first tower fan and I love it so far. The fan tower circulates quiet a lot of air, which is out of my expectation. The fan also saves a lot of space and I can put it at the corners of my home.

The fan is quiet that I can sleep well through out the night. In addition, I can set the timer to number of hours I want. The fan can be operated in three speed settings. Best of all, the fan can be operated in fresh air ionizer. Moreover, the fan also comes with a remote control and two AAA batteries. This remote control can be stored behind fan, which is kind of neat.

However, I have not figured out how to clean the fan as there are no cleaning instructions in the manual. I guess I have to take out the screws behind the tower to clean it.

With the sleek look, space-saving and quiet powerful fan, I love it so far.
