Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 2530 40-Inch Elite Wind Tower Fan with Remote Control
Customer Review: It functions well, but what is with the beeping?
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm kind of surprised only one other person has mentioned this *bleeping* beeping. It makes a great product completely average to me. The fan works well. The timer is a luxurious option that I have yet to use. The air output is sufficient. The oscillation doesn't click or creak like some of them do, but every time you push a button: BEEEEEP! Sometimes you need to adjust a fan at night. So why make your product's function sound loud enough to wake up the neighbors? Conclusion: great fan for the living room, not so great for the boudoir.Customer Review: Just overpriced for what you get.

My quick opinion in case you don't like to read, get a cheap [..]fan, and you'll get just as much out of it as this one.
For a longer review..
This is my first tower fan and I'm not impressed at all. It looks kinda cool, futuristic, fancy, or whatever, has a remote, it works, but it's nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the price. 1 star for looks\remote. 1 star because it works.
As far as being a huge space saver? Not really. I was expecting maybe the girth of a coke can, not a basketball, and 40 inches just seems taller actually seeing it in person. Compared to other fans that blow around the same amount of air, I'd say this would be in the larger size category.
Performance-wise, it's about as powerful as your average older, cheap, small desk fans and makes about the same noise. Not silent, but nowhere near being loud.. nothing that'll make you turn the tv's volume up. As a fan, it works and I'm content with it, although I was expecting a little more power for the price.
If I had a do-over on this purchase, I'd go with your average every day $10-20 fan before this one. The only thing I prefer about this one is the look and the remote is a nice touch, but neither of those are worth the price, in my opinion. I could buy atleast 3 or so fans that work just as well for the amount I spent on this one fan. The only reason I'd suggest this fan to anyone is if they have money to blow and the look or the remote alone is worth the extra $50-60.
Also, those looking for technical information, which was only obtainable by contacting the manufacturer, I'll post the FPM ratings for this fan. For whatever reason, the fan's measured in FPM, when all fans I've ever seen were measured in CFM. There are no decibel\noise ratings, however.. They claimed "there are too many factors involved in this process", blah blah. Funny how most other manufacturers seem to do just fine providing these ratings for their fans, though..
Quoted from an e-mail from [..]:
"Model 2530's FPM:
Low = 760
Medium = 860
High = 950

Have had great luck with the product, works well. Great product and well built, have had no issues thus far. I have owned this product for about 3 months or so.Customer Review: Lasko 2530 - Faulty remote on two towers in a row. Be careful.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought a second Lasko 2530 tower when the remote on the first one didn't work. The remote on the second didn't work either. It is a major hassle to repack these fans in their boxes and haul them to the post office for shipping. I emailed Lasko to find a solution but no help was available. Fortunately, because I bought from Amazon I will be reimbursed for shipping, which is not true of other vendors. Be careful. PS.. I like the volume of air and quietness of the unit enough to go for the 42" model, only from Amazon, in case I need to return it. I posted these remarks under a seperate offering for this fan but it doesn't show up here, until I repost it.... I guess we have to look at every product offered to get all the feedback on the article we are interested in?Customer Review: Lasko 2530 Tower Fan

Haven't had the fan long, but it was easy to put together...and gives a wonderful cool breeze and is reasonably quiet. Light weight, too, so it's easy to move from room to room if needed.
