"Quality is not like the old ones"
I bought this fan as I have a 25 year old Lasko which is identical in looks and features. The old one is all metal, and still runs on all speeds, but is very noisy and cannot be run at night (I put it in the kitchen window to exhaust cooking fumes now). The new version is plastic.
I broke a piece of the plastic mounting shroud by screwing a screw slightly too hard.
It is as quiet and powerful as one could ask for.
But, it just stopped working after about 15 months! Never had a problemm never heard a noise, never acted different- one day it did not turn on. The warrenty is only one year, and has run out.
I replaced the plug on it, as the original plug had a fuse inside, but this did not fix it.
Lasko said I can order a new cord and motor. The price for the replacement parts is about the same as a new unit- between 55 and 60 dollars.
I am going to look at ratings for different brands for a replacement, as my product loyalty has now ended with the Lasko name.

"Pretty good fan"
I brought this fan for the summer months and it works pretty good. Not one hot day and it keeps my living room pretty cool. It does have a sound and the breeze from it is strong (but that's on high) but I would still recommend it. Great product

"Perfect for my 2BR condo"
I bought an Air King 20" (same manufacturer of the Lasko) whole house fan a couple of years ago and it proved to be too much fan for my < 2000 sq. ft. condo. I went for this 16" and it does the job just as quietly as the 20". Very easy to install within the window frame and no vibration. I only wish that the side extenders were metal like they are on the Air King. The grill on the front of the fan is metal. I am very happy with this purchase and that's why it gets FIVE STARS. These are both excellent, high quality fans and I would not hesitate to purchase again.

"Best Fan"
Works so well I haven't turned on the ac - that's pretty darn good in a Manhattan apartment on a 90+ degree weekend. Works great as Exhaust and Intake - just bought a 2nd one for the living room. Super easy to install.

"Best Value"
This fan is the best on the market. With no A/C in an old farm house in Central Virginia, we use this fan to manage airflow. Quiet, efficient and largest air mass mover for the buck! Others just don't compare or are over priced.

What our customer's say!

"Just what I was looking for...", I recently moved into a small home without central air. The upstairs gets so hot it is unbearable. I purchased two fans so that I could run one on intake and one on exhaust. Thanks to these fans, I can now stand to be upstairs.

I do have a problem with one of the fans- the knob does not stay on correctly and frequently falls off. I usually have to put the knob back on just about every time I turn on that fan.

However, I still give the fans 5 stars due to the good they have done in my house. Overall, I am very satisfied.

"WARNING!!!", SO HERE IS MY SITUATION. THE fan arrived with the on off speed knob not on the shaft. It will not go on. The shaft is cheap plastic so the knob won't stay on. I bought it from thenerds dot net and they want me to pay return shipping which would cost from $[...]to $[...] depending who ships it because of the large box. I am waiting to hear from them before I dispute the bill with the credit card company and file with the attorney General for fraud. Lesson learned is buy from AMAZON!!! At least they have a return policy you can live with. I know better now. The fan is too noisy on high speed. i have had the fan on for 2 hours. it is about 60 outside and yet the room has gone down from 80 to 78 in 2 hours. When I stand a foot away from the fan the room is as hot as it was before I had the fan on. When I stand in front of the fan it is cool. Maybe it is sucking air in the room but it is not helping cool the room. On top of the crappy performance I have to deal with the low quality of a broken knob and also a rather worthless template to install the brackets. I should have listened to my gut feeling and bought a $[...] box fan and made a bracket to hold it in the window frame so i could easily remove it. Right now I will need to take this 16 poudn fan off the bracket screws to close the window. so with shipping the nerds dot com ripped me blind. I am glad I didnt pay more for it but I might be stuck with it. I wrote to Lasko about this and will see if they can replace it for me or get me a new shaft or knob. MY ADVICE DO NOT BUY THIS FAN. CHEAP JUNK. I DON'T CARE IF 8 people liked it here- this is cheap junk

"Disposable piece of junk", It's a nice fan - till it craps out for no reason. Mfr only gives it a 1 yr warranty. What's up with that? Bad value for the price. I'ld be VERY curious what the folks who gave it 4 - 5 stars will say when the fan inexplicably quits working.

"Energy efficient, powerful fan (will it last?)", I just bought this product a couple weeks ago at my local hardware store. With the cost of energy going up, I wanted a fan that was energy-efficient. This one draws about 100 watts at high speed, and about 70 watts at low speed. I used a Kill-a-watt to measure the power needed. This is more energy-efficient than my smaller, twin 8" Honeywell fan, which uses about 125 watts and doesn't move nearly as much air.

The design makes the fan more efficient at circulating air through your house: I added some removable weatherstripping (rope caulk) around the fan to seal the window. Installation was easy. It seems well-made, but I am a little concerned about durability based on other reviews; I will update my review if it dies.

"FANtastic!", wow this fan is amazing! at first i looked at husband like he was nuts for getting this factory looking humongous fan into our little kitchen... but i take it ALL back! this fan really works. exhause eliminates all smells inc tobacco right out the window. it also works as air condition by circulating the air all around the house! plus if use as intake, it is the most powerful fan we've ever had. drawback: fan is large so ppl can look into home from outside thru the large slots. other than that its the best.

"Disappointing", I thought I would try this fan as a replacement for my Lakewood 18-inch window fan, which looks almost exactly the same in the ads. I have gone through three of the Lakewood fans over the last 18 years, and they were great for drawing cool air through my entire house. Unfortunately, the Lasko fan is less than half as powerful (0.83 amps vs. 2.0 amps). The high speed on this fan produces about as much wind as the low speed on the Lakewood fan. I will be returning this fan.

"Good, solid performer.", The first fan I purchased like this was in 1992 from Sears. It had their name on it, but it was obviously built by Lasko. That original is still functional, but after 14 years, it was time for a new one. Must be a proven, solid design to have been in production this long. It moves the air through my home easily, but my house is smallish, only about 1500 square ft. My only gripe concerns the fan guard, or grill, which faces towards the outside, through the open window. This grill is plastic, which we all know doesn't last forever. Exposed to direct sunlight and the elements, this grill will eventually become brittle. It takes several years for that to happen, but that's what happened with the first fan.
I hope that Lasko will in the future consider making this grill out of metal, like the one facing the inside.
One last thing........if, like me, you're sick of seeing "Made in China" stamped on everything, this fan is American-made.

"A Good Fan", I purchased this fan 15 years ago and replaced it with another one this past summer because the old one clonked out on me. What I noticed about this new one is it has a different blade from the older model. It is also quieter and more powerful than the older model. I did not bother with the Storm Guard feature of screwing the fan in the window for safety reasons. If in the event of a fire and the window was my only means of getting out, the fan would get in the way. The fan takes up a lot of window space, so if you are one of those people who like your outdoor view, do not purchase this fan. If you want a fan that is powerful and will last for a good number of years, this is the fan for you.

"Window Fan", This fan really does not pull the air like the one's from the old days. The fan installs really well into the window. But it won't suck like the old one's from Sears and Montgomery Wards.

"Lasko 16" 3-Speed Reversible Window Fan", I've had a lot of window fans before but none have cooled nearly as well as the Lasko 16" window fan. The fan is solidly constructed with sturdy plastic side panels and a easy to turn on/off speed selection knob.Particularly nice is the exhaust feature on this fan,which cleared a smokey kitchen in mere seconds.
