Lasko Oscillating Pedestal Fan, Thermostat, Adjustable Height, Remote Control, Timer, 4 Speeds, for Bedroom, Living Room, Office & Dorm, 16", Black, S16612

This fan is great. It has lasted 2 years and 2 months of use every day almost 24 hours a day. It just now started to die on me and need to buy a new one. For the group of people that need the strong fan to sleep it’s great, and the sound is perfect to sleep with.

I've been using this fan for the last 3 years and it is still working great (usage of 4 months per year). One remote button got damaged but it doesn't affect the functionality so it's okay. It is light weight and easy to move. I've moved it several times from rooms to homes.

Easy to put together. Quiet. Kept room cooler.

An industrial model was too loud (but simple) with a over-abundance of familiar hurricane gale. This techno-model (for us anyway) moves the humidity and stifling temps out of my garage workout area with ease while keeping stereo decibels civilized. Easy to put together with good stability...JS

I bought one a few years ago, loved the fact that it's a brushless DC motor, it makes no noise on low. On high, it does make a little wind noise but still quiet. DC also uses less power. Well, it finally died, my fault, so the wife order another fan, but it was an AC brush type fan, strong, but noisy, even on low. One thing I discovered was my Shepard hated the new one, and I can only guess it made a noise only he could hear. So we found this one again, it took a couple of days before he started crossing its path again, now he doesn't care. Downside? It isn't all that strong, but sufficient at 15' away. Upside? We use it in the bedroom because it's the quietest fan we can find, on all settings.

My oh My I own a very similar Lasko fan I purchased ~10yrs ago that looks just like this except it is 20" and has 5 blades. It's great. I just bought this fan for another room. What a difference! The neck on the fan that lets you tilt the fan up/down is so weak it can't hold the fan up so it droops down. The blade is so unbalanced that the fan visibly shakes. The fan on high produces less air movement than the old fan on 2. How could a company actually get away with selling this??? Update: I immediately returned this and ordered model S18440 which I should have done from the start Update2: The S18440 works just fine. Just avoid this model!

For a fan that is American made, it’s China cheap. Starting at the bottom, the base is plastic and is not weighted. The shaft that goes into the base is not bolted, it’s a push in. The head assembly that goes onto the shaft is not bolted either, it just slides on and it wobbles. If you pick up the fan by the head assembly it just slides off. You have to use 2 hands and hold the shaft and the head assembly to move it. The rear grille is plastic and the front grille is metal. This fan does not blow very hard on high which was disappointing to me. It is quiet but it doesn’t blow hard. The fan does oscillate with remote control and manual control which I really need because of my disability. This is my first day with this fan and time will tell on how long it will last.

I almost didn't purchase this Lasko S16612 16" Adjustable Pedestal Fan with Thermostat and Remote Control due to of all the negative reviews that said it didn't sit right in the base, was wobbly, can't move fan around without it falling apart, it's a safety hazard, etc. It was a quick assembly and you just have to make sure that the pole is pushed all the way into the base and the fan assembly itself. I wouldn't but I could dance around with it if I wanted to. LOL I also watched a video that showed it vibrating so bad causing loud noise that if I had seen before purchasing may have completely turned me away, but my guess is that he didn't get the threads lined up and screw the blade in correctly. On first test run, it seems like a great fan! I'll edit if the reviews that say it died quickly turn out to be true, but so far it seems like the perfect replacement for my broken fan that I've hung on to because I couldn't find another temperature controlled one!
