Lasko 3300 Wind Machine Air Circulator Portable High Velocity Floor Fans, for Indoor Home Cooling Breezes and, White Noise in Bedroom

I bought this fan on the way to my dads house, Spring 2012, because I live in WA state and he lives in GA and he needed me to stay with him a while. I bought it from a local retailer, but its the exact same fan. From day one Ive referred to it as my man-made cyclone - funny as the company now calls the new model the Cyclone. This fan is the only reason Ive been able to exist here in the deep south. I wound up having to stay with my dad - both :) and :( - and this fan has run nearly every day since purchase and is still going strong. I do take it apart every spring and clean it good. It isnt hard and all I do is use the brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner on the motor section. I even wash the fan without the motor with soap and water in the bath tub and semi do the same to the back without getting the motor wet. I think the annual cleaning has kept the bearings from wearing out. This fan is the best air mover Ive ever owned - so, I have to wonder what people are comparing this fan too when they say it barely moves air - an industrial warehouse fan? From 10 feet, on low, it blows enough air to blow a dress hanging from the frame of my closet door to the floor. On high it blows my long hair sideways while sitting at my desk which is about 10 feet away. On low I have to have paperweights on my desk or documents become wallpaper. I hope that paints a clear picture of how much air this sucker (er blower) moves. I also think it blows much cooler than oscillating fans because oscillators heat up and usually are on higher posts that move warmer air. This moves the air from the floor (cooler) upward or outward across the room. My dads friends and our family chuckle at me because everywhere I go around this house and even on the patio I have two things... my beloved four-legged bestie and my man-made cyclone. Im thinking of stocking up because I have never owned a fan that works this well.

An Amazing fan the speed selector handles the speed you are looking for. If you are handy you can build a base and hang it from the ceiling.

I love the air output of this fan! My old one died after 6 years of continual use. I was so glad to see that this fan wasn’t discontinued and was so excited to reorder it!

I bought this fan several times, its reliable and efficient. The wind machine does make a lot of noise but that suits my purpose as I tend to keep the fan running all day as background noise. I live in the city, and its pretty noisy, so this fan helps muffle out those unpleasant sounds. Ive had wind machines for years and the motors never gave out. Only reason Ive ever really had to replace them its because the casing of the fan, which is not heavy duty plastic tends to break very easily. But only if youre not handling it with care. I also like how powerful it blows air. These fans tend to accumulate a lot of dust, but they have screws in the back of the fan that allows you to open them and clean them. Ive recommended this fan to family members and Friends but if youre looking for a fan that makes no noise this is not the fan for you.

My 16 turbo fan finally quit on me right in the midst of a SoCal heatwave so it had to be replaced as quickly as possible. We used an inexpensive box fan we had to start with but had to be on high speed in order to tolerate the heat & that means a lot of noise. I decided to give this fan a try & I am so glad I did! We dont have a working a/c right now & with 4 kids in college this year, it will remain unrepaired for a few more years. This fan is for the master br which unfortunately is the hottest room in the house since its upstairs & faces south. The fan arrived completely put together, just needed plugging in & turning on. And what a nice breeze it puts out, even on low speed. It is positioned in front of the window by the bed so it can bring in the cooler night air & just move the air around in the daytime. It runs 24hrs a day & is fairly quiet for a fan its size but it isnt silent by any means. Ive never had a fan that is silent. The temp the 1st few days we had it were in the mid 90s & made it tolerable to be in the room only using the medium speed which is a relief knowing I can go to the high speed if needed next time were over a 100 again. We usually turn it down to low for sleeping as the outside temp drops a lot at night. Its not a/c but so far, its the best fan Ive used since the a/c broke 6yrs ago. Weve had all styles of fans & the last one, a turbo fan was the best until this one. Very glad we tried it & absolutely recommend it.

Use in greenhouse, constant use. Well made - in America Been using these for years. Order a extra !
