Nothing today is made sturdy when fan companies actually cared about the products they produced, not just for looks like the fans are of today.Lasko once was a good company. I know I have vintage lasko and Galaxy fans from the late 70s to late 80s. Now, those were built to last.
Puts out a lot of air but mine began to make a loud whistling noise after I moved it over a bit while running and now the sound wont stop. Not surprising considering how flimsy the thing is.
Some people in the comments are saying they've had issues with it, but that's not my experience. I recommend getting it from Costco as their return policy is great and they'll refund you if you don't like it. It pushes quite a lot of air and doesn't push itself over on the highest setting.
My daughter just brought one of these over. When we got it fired up it shows 87 on the display, is that the temperature in the room? (it is very hot today). I noticed yours said 54? Please tell me what that number means and how I can manipulate it if it’s not simply showing the room temperature. Thanks.
The temp was much cooler when I tested it initially and I suspect it was around the temp it was displaying. It's currently 82 where I am and the fan is saying 79, so it looks like it's a few degrees off. But yes, it displays the current room temperature. I didn't see in the manual where it actually stated this. Good question.
I've been hearing through the comments lately that people have been having various problems with these. If you have your receipt I recommend taking it back and exchanging it for a new one or getting your money back.
No the oscillation mechanisms suck. My school has modern Air King wall fans (made by lasko) and most are having oscillation issues. The plastic pieces break. I have a lasko S18708 and I hear it click when it oscillates to one side. I wouldn’t use the oscillation all the time.
I haven't had experience with previous models but this one seems to work ok. I don't run it on high very often though. Are there any specific models you'd recommend instead of this one?
I've found it tends to wobble slightly when running but that's about it. It's a decent option for people with little kids so it won't severely insure them if it falls over or they put their fingers into it. It is mostly plastic.
@@jacobreviewseverything Mine wobbles like crazy even though everything is tightened aligned and in place. That's really my biggest complaint about this fan.
@@randomtube8226 if it's been doing that since new then it's likely either misbuilt or the fan is weighted to one side. It shouldn't be on you to fix if. If you still have the receipt and it's within the advertised two years from purchase date then you should return it. If you don't have the receipt then where you bought it might let you swap it for another one. This one wobbles just a small amount but it's not really noticeable unless you stare closely at it.

I can't disagree with this. There are a few older ones for sale on eBay and I'm sure they work fantastic.

@@zachary2716 the plastic shield around the fan didn't turn out to be all that great. A bit disappointing.
Is it worth the money to buy one and does it put out a lot of air

@@jacobreviewseverything yes I couldn’t find it in the manual either. Thanks for responding..
How much it cost?
@@edgardmiguelgomez8886 I think it was $60 from Costco?
70 on Amazon, and worth every penny. 39 at Costco - a steal.
What model is this
S18654.
I just bought one and it doesn’t oscillate anymore. I bet I did something wrong.

Will you contact Lasko about making their 1990s fans?
It would be sweet to see them reissue the blue blade era.
@@jacobreviewseverything Will you talk to Lasko about making their 1990s fans?
@@idkanymore2746 I just asked them on Twitter. Let's see if they say anything.
I hate this fan so much. The quality is horrible. There is no piece to screw onto the piece that goes onto the motar head.
I've been seeing that people are really disliking this fan. I recommend taking it back if you hate it.
Worst model. Previous models were very good. Since 9 years I am using them

@@gangakumarikamboji4817 awesome, thank you!
This fan is made with the cheapest plastic on earth and has zero durability. There's nothing sturdy about it.
