I’ve purchased this same fan twice now because of how impressed I was with the first one. It moves a huge amount of air for its size and is surprisingly quiet, even on the highest of its three speed settings.One of the standout features for me is the thick gauge power cord — it gives a sense of durability and safety you don't get with many other fans. The built-in side outlet is incredibly useful for plugging in tools or other devices, making it perfect for the garage, workshop, job site, or even just different rooms in the house.The pivoting head allows you to direct airflow exactly where you need it, and even after getting dusty from heavy use, it still performs like new — no noticeable loss in airflow. It's a solid, reliable fan at a very reasonable price, and it's built to handle a bit of rough use.If you're looking for a compact, high-velocity fan that delivers both performance and durability, this is an excellent choice. I fully recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 years and running strong!

Surprisingly impressive! I have chickens in my backyard and we use this fan to help circulate the air. As I was closing up the coop for the night, I noticed that it’s not blowing quite as hard as it used to so I popped on Bolo to get a new one only to realize that my current one was purchased 5 years ago! That means, rain or shine, year round, 24/7 use for five years and the thing it still going! That I incredible! I am so impressed! Obviously, I’ll absolutely buy another one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool off and dry off!!

A.R. · May 13, 2025

Really cool things off in my living room and bedroom. Helps me when I cook to stay cool. A little noisy but all fans are! I love that you can change the height of the top which helped greatly when I had spilled something and needed to dry it. I simply pointed it towards that area and let it run which is what expensive water removal companies do. Of course if it was a really bad flood then you would have to get professionals but for small spills or wet surfaces that need to be dried quickly this works great! I also bought a small black filter and put it on the side of the fan when it's running because it can accumulate a lot of dust like fans do. This also filters the air somewhat and captures the dust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good so far 👏

The media could not be loaded. I ordered this air mover because it was the only one that could be delivered today and the reviews weren't terrible. If you've used the big ones for drying floors etc. (Like I have at work) then you'll notice it's not as powerful. It's also half or less of that size and still leaps ahead of standard household fans. This is perfect for cooling me down in my small bedroom, drying household floors etc. I've been running a lasko 20" box fan, a smaller box fan near my air vent to attempt to circulate cooler air faster and 2 tower fans (one can operated as swamp cooler). Oh and an air purifier. This beats all of those fans. Nice direct flow air. Honestly very quiet for what it is but with fans and aquariums; I'm use to a higher noise level. It's doesn't take up too much space, the pivoting is perfect to direct air flow. The only issue is actually adjusting it is a little difficult for me; to be fair I'm a bit weak right now, so I find it very stiff to adjust but that's been the only slightly negative thing so far... and even then I'm glad whereever I adjust it too is set and won't drop down. I can finally get a little rest in this heavy summer heat and don't wake up damp with sweat. Already discontinued use of my other fans. Great buy for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, moves air with single AC unit to entire apt

M. · May 21, 2025

Perfectly powerful 🤩. I live in a ~1,100 sqft apartment in LA with only a window AC unit in the furthest room in the back, leaving my living room like an oven in the summer. I’ve tried tower fans with little success.This little fan is able to carry and circulate the cold air from the back to the ENTIRE apartment. It looks a little industrial (read: not aesthetic) but it DOES THE JOB and does it WELL.Noise level is about the same as a loud window AC unit. Doesn’t bug me personally since it’s in the back of the apt, but I wouldn’t wanna sit next to it on highest power.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fan, tough to clean

A.C. · May 24, 2025

Love the fan, ive bought 4. blows much further than normal fans. I gave it a 4 star because this thing is near impossible to clean the blades

5.0 out of 5 stars Great USA fan but price 30% higher since April!

P. · June 9, 2025

This Lasko utility fan is great. And it’s made in the USA. But the price today, June 8, 2025 is 30% higher than it was on April 8, 2025. I bought two of these fans on Bolo exactly 2 months ago for $49.49 each. Today the price is $64.99 each. What’s the issue, Lasko and Bolo? Why the HUGE price increase on a USA-made product?

5.0 out of 5 stars Freeze me

L.J.J. · June 5, 2025

Talk about the best thing I currently have in my room. Even if my room is pretty warm, this fan blows out, what it feels like, straight cold. It’s like Arnold as Mr. Freeze is right in my room making me comfortable and able to sleep at night without being super hot. 5 out of 5 highly recommend!

Does move air..

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } Just got this fan today for my horse barn it moves the air really good. I bought it because the reviews where going and others had said it doesn't get hot like most fans do. I had a few of the bigger master craft fans in my barn but the motor on them get extremely hot and full of dust and hay which is a big no no in any barn and that made me extremely worried. I bought this fan to move air and to help blow the flies off my horses that are very much annoying them this time of year and to also give them relief from the heat. Now I have checked several times to see if it actually gets hot in time but it doesn't feel hot at all even after being on high for a few hours it is a bit loud but not near as loud as the master craft fans. It is not a cheaply priced fan but neither are most fans. If this fan lasts a few weeks with no issues I will be buying a few more because I'm already pretty happy with the fact it doesn't get hot and the air flow is decent and it's not near as loud as a box fan or the large master craft fan.

Strong wind, excellent cooling off capabilities.

Amazing. High velocity fan, have a tower fan, this blows it away. I have it set on 1st speed, amazing for menopausal hot flashes. Body gets cooler asap. Had a floor fan before different from this one. This one by far better. Lots wind speed for me. Little one loves it as well. Excellent purchase, thank you lasko. 0 assembly, 0 parts to attach. Love it 💕

Moves air

M. · July 7, 2021

This thing moves AIR!During the latest heat wave 40C + this thing kept my family and I cool as an ice cube!It’s rebranded Lasko however it’s actually the same as the Stanley blower fan so you know it’s going to be quality. Can’t recommend it enough I bought 2! Blew me away, literally. Two next to each other is like a jet engine at full thrust!Relatively quite, very light but sturdy and strong. Love the long cord!

Great indoor fan

K. · October 15, 2021

I will never buy a rotating fan again. The power this fan has is so much better at moving air. It’s sturdy, a great size too, not cumbersome like a tall rotating fan. No it’s not silent, but something silent isn’t moving air around to cool you. I personally sleep better with white noise.Will buy again !

It doesn't suck, it blow out of the water

C.d. · July 26, 2024

This machine gets you cold quick, good air speed hence cold, i recommend.
