Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote - 42" - T42951 - Silver

Lasko Fan I have had this fan for three years now, and I run it almost every single day. I live in Fresno, California and reach the triple digits five out of 12 months. I run it the other seven months as well. But this fan is amazing, absolutely amazing. It’s quiet and the three air settings offer perfect air on demand with the convenient remote control, which works from across the room. I like that I can center the air on myself while I watch TV or read. This is not gonna handle a large room or a room with lots of people. It will move the air around, but it’s really shining when used to focus on a couple of people in a room. Or a child’s room or playroom or adult room for sleeping, It’s brilliant for that.

We bought this Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan back in 2018, and let me tell you, it’s been an absolute champ! Seven years of near-daily use, and it’s still running like the day we unboxed it—talk about durability! Living in a smallish house in the MidWest, this fan has been our lifeline through countless hot summers, and it’s never let us down. Right out of the box, the setup was a breeze—took less than 10 minutes to snap the base together with a few screws, and it’s been rock-solid ever since. The sleek silver design fits perfectly in our small living room, taking up minimal space while blending seamlessly with our decor. At 42 inches tall, it’s just the right height to circulate air across the room, whether we’re lounging on the couch or working at the desk. The three speed settings are spot-on. On high, it pumps out a powerful breeze that cools our 400-square-foot space in minutes, even during brutal heatwaves. The medium setting is great for milder days, and the low setting provides a gentle, whisper-quiet airflow that’s perfect for sleeping. Speaking of quiet, this fan is a dream for light sleepers like me. Even on the highest setting, it produces a soft hum that doubles as soothing white noise, never disruptive. We lost the remote control early on, but it's not a big deal for us. We often move the fan from room to room and store it in the garage in the winters. While I wish it swiveled a bit wider (maybe closer to 90 degrees), it’s never been a dealbreaker. What really impresses me is how well this fan has held up. After seven years, there’s no creaking, wobbling, or annoying rattles, even with constant oscillation. The plastic build feels sturdy, and despite a few accidental bumps from a toddler, it’s still in great shape with no cracks or wear. We’ve never noticed a spike in our electric bill either, so it’s energy-efficient too. For the price, this fan is an incredible value. It’s reliable, stylish, and packed with features that make it a must-have for anyone needing to beat the heat. Whether you’re in a small apartment or a larger room, this Lasko tower fan delivers. I’m already planning to buy another for our bedroom—it’s that good!

First, the good. I probably would buy it again if it breaks in, say, five years (ETA: I did, even though it did not break). Quieter than the old-fashioned fan I used to have, puts out about as much air, and the remote is really handy. But it has flaws. It puts out a low level slightly electrical smell. Maybe that will go away in time. I don't really get used to it either. (ETA: it did go away. The second one had the same smell, for a while, but not the first, so it wasn't me getting used to it) The power button on the fan itself is broken. Loose, wobbly, feels like it would fall off if I turned it upside down. All the other buttons work, and I've got the remote. Worst case I'd just have to use the wall plug, so it's no biggie. Weird controls. There's a timer shut off function, from ½ an hour to 7½ hours, and it shows with four lights for ½, 1, 2, 4 hours which you have to add up to read the timer. If you want three hours, that's six taps. Set it to the longest time, 7½ hours, that's 15 taps and all four light up. The lights count down the time remaining. The night time function is odd. Starts out at max speed, gradually decreases, eventually shuts off. I guess if you don't want that, but just want it to shut off after you've gone to sleep, you use the regular shut off timer. The remote's buttons are off-center. Better for right-handers, worse for left-handers. Impossible to read in the dark. The lights on the fan are just dots, so watching what the lights do, like changing the shut off timer, doesn't help much. Adding some shape to them would help. ETA: I lost the remote and could no longer turn it on. So I bought a second one. The new remote works with both. It's a small nuisance, but I'd been thinking of a second fan anyway to cool the western facing bedroom. (ETA: I found the remote.) ETA: The more I use it, the handier it is. It has hand grips near the top and is easy to pick up even while oscillating and adjust its aim or location while remaining plugged it. I'm revising it to five stars primarily because its defects don't matter as much for my usage; all I use is on/off, speed, and oscillation.

The Lasko 42" Wind Curve (wih ionizer) is a very good fan and is powerful enough for 20 x 20 foot room. The tall height works well in a bedroom where one might need to feel the breeze a bit higher while laying on a high mattress. You can also adjust the top portion of the vent up or down for your needs. The remote is handy for just such an occasion as well. The Lasko was very quiet despite its powerful breeze. The base is sturdy and I have experienced no rattling. I compared the Lasko fan to the Holmes 32" Oscillating Tower Fan and there was no comparison. The Holmes fan was too short to generate a breeze above my bed where I needed it. The power of the fan was also extremely weak in general--especially since it was being advertised as a whole house fan. Essentially, Holme's most powerful breeze was equivalent to the lowest setting on the Lasko. The interface was confusing. And there also was no remote. The Holmes base is sturdy and I experienced no rattling. I also compared the Lasko to the Sunter 40" Tower Fan (2 Pack Combo with a 13" Personal Fan). While I preferred the look of the Lasko (the silver color made it more versatile for both dark and light color themes), the truth is, of all three, the Sunter was the most powerful--though maybe only a step above. The 40" height was still high enough to reach over the bed where I needed it. Its top portion of the vent is not adjustable up-and-down like the Lasko--but most fans don't have that feature. The Sunter was fairly quiet, but not as quiet as the Lasko. The remote appears chintzier than the Lasko's but it turns out Sunter's remote range is stronger than the Lasko's. The Sunter base is sturdy and I experienced no rattling. However, I did experience vibration and rattling with its bonus personal 13" fan that came with it. Of all three fans, the Lasko was the easiest to assemble. I felt the Lasko was the most attractively versatile with its silver finish. Both the Lasko and Sunter have an easy interface to understand. Both were sturdy and did not rattle. The Lasko has the quietest breeze, with the Sunter a close quiet second. However, the Sunter offered the strongest breeze, with Lasko being a close second. Both were good for 20 x 20' rooms. The Lasko offers three speed settings; the Sunter offers four speed settings. Both offer timers. The Lasko offers an ionizer feature which is nice; however, the Sunter offers an interesting evening breeze feature. (The evening breeze feature tapers off the breeze to the next lowest level every half an hour as you drift off to sleep--VERY nice.) Finally, [at the time of this review] the Lasko costs $56.52 on Amazon; while the Sunter costs $39.99 at Costco (or $44.32 on Amazon). The $16 higher price for the Lasko dramatically altered my star rating for the product down to a 4-star. And since the Sunter is fairly comparable (with a bonus fan) at a dramatically cheaper price, I am posting a 5-star for the Sunter as a best-buy.

This fan is so quiet I don’t even hear it 90% of the time. I have another fan that is the same brand but it’s bulkier and so much louder. I want another one of these to swap out the loud one in my bedroom. This fan has helped so much in fighting the warm weather.

We have two of these, use them 24/7 a few months a year. Reasonably quiet and create a nice breeze. Oscillates nicely. (We also have two of these smaller 36 inch Lasko towers, nice but seem to be noisier when oscillating so don’t use that feature on those.) These bigger towers seem to work much better, not just more air but oscillates without extra noise. The shorter ones are nice these larger ones are workhorses for us!

Great room fan. Super quiet makes decent air movement and its slim. Ok a little tall but would buy again

Love this fan so much I bought three more. The remote is so handy but if you don’t need it, just hook it to the back of the fan. Air went out at work and I was one of the few that brought in a tower fan. It was on for 9 hours for four day and did not falter once. While the rest of the office was 88 degrees, I was very comfortable. I’ve had the first fan for over 10 years and while it’s a little loud, runs great. It’s used everyday in our bathroom to circulate the air for no less than 2 hours. I would highly recommend this fan.

Si lo que te preocupa es el nivel de ruido, si, hace ruido, es un ventilador, pero si lo comparas con otros es bastante mas silencioso, sobre todo por su potencia, no he necesitado usarlo a mas de nivel 1. El control y funciones son muy buenos, ademas de que tiene mucho estilo y se ve bien donde lo pongas, si tiene un detalle en mi opinion es que no es muy alto, por lo tanto si estas de pie no se sentira mucho el aire, es para una sala o recamara donde estes sentado o recostado.

Love this fan! I actually repurchased it in 2022 since I gave my other one to my grandma I loved it so much. Anytime I’m in bed, this fan is on. When I’m hot, I go sit in front of it. I find it quiet although it does make a little bit of sound, but I never find it to be something that bothers me. Amazing airflow, I can go from hot to freezing in just a few minutes. Where I live it gets to be up to 45 degrees Celsius in the summer and while I have air conditioning I still use my fan. Worth the money. I’m seeing some reviews that are having missing pieces and broken pieces, that’s not the norm. I love this fan with all my heart 😂😂😂 1000/10 recommend.

Esta marca es buenísima no la cambio por nada

المنتج للاسف غير مذكور انه يعمل على كهرباء 120فولت !!! واذا احترق اذا تم وضعه بالغلط 220 فولت لايوجد مكان لاصلاحه

Tiene un gran poder de ventilación y posee un diseño agradable a la vista. El control es muy útil. El detalle que podría no gustarle a muchos es que el material es plástico y, pese a que es resistente, sí requiere moverse con cierto cuidado (esto no afecta la modalidad giratoria, que funciona excelente). El asunto es que cuando se mueve de sitio o se presiona con fuerza algún botón (el control resulta muy útil aquí) se bambolea ligeramente y si no se tiene algún cuidado podría sufrir daños en la base.
