While I found it easy to use, I wished this Lasko fan had more settings. The highest setting is very strong and while I enjoy it on particularly sweltering nights, I find that it can be strong enough to make my eyes water like they would in a strong wind. Twisting the joint on the fan’s pedestal to the left loosens the pedestal which can then move up and down vertically. Once it’s at your desired height, turn the joint to the right to lock it into place. While air conditioners can change the temperature of a room and reduce humidity, a great fan can still keep you cool and circulate air throughout a room. They’re more energy efficient than an air conditioner since they just cool you—not an entire room.
Though it can’t point down, it can be angled nearly vertically to bounce air off the ceiling and blow it effectively around an entire room. It’s the only one with the cord coming out of the bottom of the stand, as well, rather than dangling off the base of the motor halfway alen breathesmart up the stand. Though its sound is quieter than many others of similar power, the quality of noise this fan emits is, at every speed, rather similar to the whirring of a small airplane. It also lets out a chirping “beep” every time you plug it in or change a setting.
This fan has 12 different speeds, allowing you to achieve the ideal airflow for your needs. Cool large rooms quickly with this Lasko 20-inch oscillating remote alen breathesmart control pedestal fan. The 20-inch blades and powerful motor deliver impressive airflow, and the four speed settings let you choose your ideal level of cooling.

A couple of the modes seem very similar, and it took several seconds to settle into the correct speed when changing a setting. Despite having 12 different speed settings, the highest rate of airflow measured at just 10.5 mph, which is below average for this group of contenders. With all that in mind, we highly enjoy the convenience and less intrusive noise you get with this model.
