Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 52" Oscillating Pedestal Fan
Customer Review: Easy to assemble and nice and quiet
Summary: 5 Stars
This fan was a cinch to put together with a phillips head screwdriver -- well under 5 minutes. I usually use it on its lowest setting in my office. It is very quiet (I can have a telephone conversation or people in my office with no distraction)and seems to push a large amount of air. Looks nice for a low priced item. Another nice feature (which I haven't used yet) is a timer so you don't have to worry about it running all day long. It also has a remote control for the truly lazy!Customer Review: Excellent Fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the last one of these in stock at a local hardware store and was very impressed with the amount of air it passes as well as it's quietness. I was searching for an additional fan on Amazon and saw the same one so ordered it and, other than being a different color, it's the same exact fan. This fan works great where space is a problem or where you need something quiet (like in our TV room). A plus is that it puts out a great amount of air and has a remote as well!Customer Review: Fan good, Lasko customer service not so good
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this fan just 5 days ago to replace a fan which had stopped working. I have a similar Lasko fan (identical except this one is taller) and have been pleased with it. It is a most unattractive fan, but it has been reliable. For this one I needed a taller fan. I have not had the need for a remote control in the past, but for this one I did. Where I need this fan, I need the remote to access the controls.
However, when the package arrived, the remote control was nowhere to be found. Lasko customer service by phone had closed for the day (4 CST), so I contacted them using their online form. They later responded by telling me I must either fax or mail them my Amazon receipt, that the information alone was not adequate.
I am 67 years old, so I have a bit of buying experience. I think only twice over the years have we ever ordered anything which arrived with missing parts. Both times, a phone call to customer service ensured we received our missing part by overnight delivery.
I emailed them back with the information they asked for, asking if I could please fulfill the requirement by email as I don't have a fax machine and didn't feel the need to spend 44 cents to correct their mistake.
I did not receive a reply from them, so I called them today. I spent over 30 minutes with customer service, much of the time on hold. My original question was if I could meet the requirements over the phone. I was told yes, and then we talked about how to accomplish this. I am also quite familiar with their "on-hold music." Supposedly I could and sent two emails while I was on the phone. However, the emails went to someone different than the person to whom I was talking, so he finally said they would call me back. Unfortunately, they called when I could not get to the phone, so I received a voice mail. I was told I must mail or fax the receipt, that the "receipt" I sent them -- which was a copy/paste of Amazon's invoice, something I couldn't "forge" if I had to, was not adequate. At this point, I am very frustrated over the whole experience. And I seldom get frustrated, believe it or not.
As far the fan itself, it seems to work okay. However, where I need to have it, I must access it with a remote which I do not have.
This review is not a knock on the fan itself (like I said, it is about as tacky a fan as I've seen, but we have one similar which has worked well) but a knock on Lasko's customer service if you end up with problems and have to deal with them.
Customer Review: Fan-tastic
Summary: 5 Stars
Super quiet and nice looking. My previous Lasko stand fan stopped oscillating, still works, just stopped rotating, but I've had it for years and it's gotten a lot of use (So. Calif., it's hot here) so I went to look for another, this one is so quiet that you really don't know it's on unless you're in front of it. It's really "cool" air too, most fans don't emit cool air, but the Lasko fans do.
You can't beat the price either, I paid a lot more for a Honeywell stand fan, some years back and I like the Lasko better.
Gladly Recommend A+

Easy assembly;
Works good;
Really like the adjustable height.
This is our second purchase of this model. The first one lasted about six years, using it throughout the night from March through October.
