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

I bought this exact fan in 2018, it runs 24/7 at least 8 months a year (I live in the Deep South) and it still runs perfect. I paid a little under $38 for it then. I purchased another one recently to have one in the living area to help with the power bill this summer. I was moving it between the LR and bedroom before. Price has gone up about $30, but this is a really great fan. My old one is 5 years old and still runs like it’s new so I think it’s worth the price. I do keep the fan clear of the dust build up that occurs which is important if you want any fan to last.

Not a deal breaker but the control knob goes loose 3 out of 4 times we use this. Were not over turning it and are now really careful turning it slowly but it still does it. We just pull it all the way off and press it firmly back on again. Doesnt look stripped but dont want to glue it on. We can live with it. Other than that nice fan.

Force of air is great but the turn dial; on, off, different settings, repeatedly comes off! Very frustrating.

Not very surfy and heavy. Tips over.

I have owned this fan for 4+ years and it is one of the best fans Ive owned. Lasko has a good reputation that is well deserved considering all the Lasko products Ive owned have lasted years. I originally bought this to bring cooler air from the hallway into the bedroom. Soon after I got it, my pedestal fan stopped working. Since my bedroom gets A LOT of sun I use a fan all year, so Ive been using it on top of a hamper (and still use it) almost every night for about 4 years and Ive had no issues with it. It does make a bit of noise but its a proportionate amount of noise which is to be expected from a wind machine and any high velocity fan. It is high velocity but I would consider it at the lowest end. I had expected it to be much stronger than it is. My favorite thing about the fan is how easy it is to clean. I have pets and live in a wooded area so dust, dirt, and fur is a constant struggle, even with a strong air purifier. With the removal of 6 small screws I have it apart and am able to clean the blades and the grill.

After hunting at Wal-Mart, Target, and local stores for this fan of the gods, I turned my search to the internet. Alas my only hopes seemed to be Lowes or Home Depot. On either site the price was amidst double what I would normally pay, but these werent normal circumstances. My trusty wind machine had bit the dust after 3 years of nightly bliss. Its blades purring methodically as the gentle breeze lulls me to sleep. No! I must have a replacement now! Added to my cart, I could feel my sleep slipping away when I read the dates for pick-up. The shipping seemed to be a too far away and a few days without sleep is too much! Finally a voice called out from behind me. Was it the voice of an angel guiding me to those brisk winds of serenity? I heard the voice say, Try Amazon. And indeed I did. I clicked the button and felt my eyes well with tears of joy, I added an extra to my cart just in case. Then guided myself to the proceed to check out where I found one day shipping available! My salvation and breath restored, I now sleep under a blanket of security knowing I have my beautiful dream maker (and an extra in the closet). Heed caution and purchase this fan today before its too late and you find yourself in the same tale of woe as I experienced that horrible night the fan died!

Circulates air thru my whole house and is very quiet. Great fan!

I must have loud white noise to sleep at night. I work at night and I live on a busy street in a generally loud complex, so the fan noise has a lot to drown out. I had a few air king plastic 20 inch fans that sounded like a small plane engine, which was perfect! However, after the first one ran for years until my home was flooded, the replacements died months to a year if they ran at all when they got here. I took a chance on this fan because it is described as a good source of white noise and it is supposed to be durable. This fan produces great white noise on high. I ran it on medium in the winter because it was too cold for high. It produces adequate noise on medium. I can barely hear it on low. On high, it isnt the air plane engine that the air kings were, but it is loud enough to drown out most noise from outside. It also moves a good amount of air. I put it in my hall way to pull air from the back rooms to the front, and it worked really well. The only thing that I dont like about it is the knob. As others have said, it is located on the back of the fan motor instead of the top where most knobs are. You have to move the fan to turn it off if it is parked by a wall. Overall, I like the fan so far.

Use it for my shop.

GREAT!
