Lasko Pivoting High Velocity Portable Utility Fan - 12" - U12104 - Black | Adjustable Air Mover Blower Fan for Bedroom, Office Desk, Garage, and Home, With 2 Outlets 120V, 3 Speeds

Don't let the "utility/garage" look fool you—this is hands-down the best bedroom fan I have ever owned. If you are a hot sleeper or just need a strong breeze and steady white noise to sleep, this is worth every penny. Powerful, Direct Airflow: Unlike standard circular fans that just chop up the air, this blower style shoots a concentrated beam of high-velocity air. You can pivot the front barrel up or down to bounce the air off the wall or ceiling for perfect, indirect circulation, or point it straight at the bed on a scorching summer night. The Perfect White Noise: If you need sound to sleep, this thing is a dream. It has a deeper, smooth, jet-engine-like hum rather than the annoying, high-pitched plastic clicking of cheap box fans. Speed 1 is plenty for a strong breeze with steady background noise, while Speed 3 feels like a wind tunnel (and sounds like a commercial white noise machine). Bonus Features: The compact footprint fits perfectly in a bedroom corner, and the built-in accessory outlets on the side are incredibly convenient for plugging in a phone charger or a bedside lamp. It's rugged, durable, and easily out-performs any traditional tower or pedestal fan. If you need serious air movement to stay cool, buy this immediately!

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!

Works wonders. Strong power and extra long cord. And able to plug in 2 other items on the side without changing the powerful blower of the fan. Absolutely love it. It goes everywhere indoors and outdoors. Camping tractor pulls or on the deck. Keeps you cool and also the flies or mostiqutoes away. For it being light weight and not extremely loud. Its small enough to bring just about any where. We love u can point it up or down and in-between. Amazing fan. I would definitely buy it again.

Bought this after a small basement leak left carpet and drywall damp, needed something with real power to actually dry the area out quick rather then relying on our regular box fans that barely moved air across the room. Power is where this thing delivers, high setting genuinely pushes air across a large space, noticed the damp smell clearing out within a day of running it continuously versus the standard fans doing basically nothing over the same timeframe. Size is compact enough to fit into a tight basement corner without taking up much floor space, didn't expect that much output from something this size honestly. Stability held up well too, sturdiness in the base kept it planted even running on the highest setting, no walking or tipping over like some lighter fans do once they're really moving air. No installation needed beyond just plugging it in and setting the angle, straightforward from the box. Oscillation isn't a feature on this one, it's a fixed direction blower rather then a rotating fan, worth knowing going in if you expected sweep coverage like a standard oscillating fan. For the price, getting this much airflow and sturdiness in a compact size is a real value compared to renting an actual air mover from a hardware store for the same job. Only complaint is it's louder then a typical household fan on the higher settings, not something you'd want running in a bedroom overnight. Great for drying out damp spaces fast or general high powered air movement needs.

Expected a bit higher power of the fan, but overall can’t complain. Product is small, i’d say ideal for a bedroom or small living area. Overall pleased with the air/wind power, especially if you’re directly in front of fan, even at 5-10ft away. A bonus that it’s on the “lowkey” side optically. You can easily put it in the corner of a bedroom/living room without it being an eye sore or in the way. Angle of fan also stays in place which helps. Bought fan to circulate more air into living room after AC broke. Noticed a difference in one day. If you’re on a budget but looking for a good air circulator i’d say you’re safe with this. I did some research and this was one of the leading ones.

After trying 5 fans that did not cool me enough sitting 3 ft. from it & were advertised to cool a whole room, today 2 Lasko high velocity portable fans were delivered which I'm trying out now. Totally effective air flow from hallway into living room. At first my 12-pound Maltipoo did not tolerate the direct air so I lowered the power to 2 & raised the head to 4 ft. off the floor to cool me but avoid her. Perfect. Any adjustment like this can personalize this fan to your needs. I bought 2 to use in 2 rooms that we frequent instead of cooling my 7-room home with AC. My next month's power bill will tell whether this is an effective money saver. AI says it is not, but I have turned up my AC to 80 & want to see if it runs less in Mesa,AZ with the Lasko high velocity fans, running only 1 fan at a time. Will update this review in 3 months & report honest findings. Set up was too easy: Remove from bubble wrap bag, pull plastic wrap off barrel, remove tie from cord & plug in. That's it. It is sturdy, small & tucks easily into any spot.

This fan is simply fantastic. It is small, powerful, includes extra electrical outlets built-in, and has an extra long cord. It is perfect for a bathroom fan for our master bathroom. We use it to dry out our shower and prevent the buildup of mildew on our shower tile. We tried several fans and this was the clear winner. Lasko makes very high quality fans, and this is no exception. It's very easy to use, and the price is quite fair. Highly recommended. Would also be great for drying out wet carpets.

What are good fan. It move volumes of air, has multiple outlets. It sits well on the floor and is adjustable direction & speeds. The design works well to move the fan around.

This came up in searches for me because it's a popular choice as an indoor cycling fan (at a fraction the cost of the incomprehensibly expensive Wahoo fan), and it is indeed tremendous as a cardio cooling fan, but I was also really intrigued by the "ventilation" capabilities. I am pleased to report that it is not just great at cooling, but at ventilating, too. CO2 levels are a great measure of ventilation. I have a CO2 monitor, and I have struggled with all manner of tactics to get the numbers down when they spike (can happen for a variety of reasons, but indoor exercise really shoots it through the roof). Opening a window did basically nothing for me, pointing a fan *inward* from the window did basically nothing, and pointing a fan outward helped, but took a while. Now when I point this Lasko fan out the window, the CO2 numbers plummet like a rock. That's quantifiable evidence that it really is moving air. I'm talking like 10 minutes to achieve what took 90 minutes with a traditional fan (a little smaller than this one). On top of that, it's relatively compact, the rotating outflow port is very useful, and it's incredibly quiet for how much air it moves. Build quality seems solid, too, I appreciate that it uses a big physical dial for settings control, as opposed to other new fans that seem to think tiny capacitive touch buttons are the height of innovation. One small thing I found a bit weird: the air intake port is perpendicular to the outflow, rather than, as with the vast majority of fans, directly behind it. In other words, it draws air in sideways rather than pushing it forwards. With the goal of ventilation, it doesn't seem ideal to have the intake be proximate to the outflow (it risks a closed loop of air going out feeding right back as air going in). But the CO2 numbers don't lie, it ventilates in spite of that design choice, and does it really well.

Perfect. This fan truly blows air like no other fan!

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.

Great small fan throws loads of air relatively quietly! Works great for the home gym. Highly recommend.
