Air Stik Ultra Slim Oscillating Fan

For 2 years I have worked in an office where war has been fought over the ambient temperature. Some like it cool and some like it very hot. I am a "like it cool" dude. Now that spring is here, the war is back on this soldier is sick of fighting. I decided to buy a fan, but (darn) which one? It seems there are millions out there. After reading reviews, I decided to purchase this fan. It arrived and I was initially put-off by its small size. Don't let the small size fool you. This fan, on the slow speed, moves ample air and is whisper quiet. It does the job and does it well. Now I am not as warm and am uber content not being caught up in the temperature battles. I do not recommend this Lasko if you sleep with a fan at night. It has 2 speeds and is too quiet at the lowest speed to provide the "white noise" that us urban dwellers around the world have come to rely on. Overall, 2 thumbs up, way up, on this fan as an office companion Pros: 1) QUIET 2) Moves ample air 3) Small and takes up little desk-top real estate 4) Attractive 5) Oscillates Cons: 1) Not loud enough to sleep with (only a con if you want night noise)

I come from the land of the ice and snow, but I share a thermostat with three lizard-people. I needed something to pull the hallway air into my area without causing them to be uncomfortable for my happiness. I set up this fan immediately when I got it, and was thrilled with it. I turned it on, high speed, and immediately appreciated the air flow. It's got a little bit of a high-pitched whirr in the sound of the fan, but I quit noticing it after a little while. I heard it more prominently in the hallway outside my office, but no one else commented on it, and again, I quit noticing. On that first day, when I stepped out of my office to run an errand, I pushed the power button - and found the low setting. It's significantly quieter, and still has noticeable air flow. The lower setting, on oscillate, has been perfect for most days. On occasion, I'll use the high setting when the weather outside shifts suddenly warmer and the HVAC isn't ready for that change. I like the oscillation on both settings - it moves slowly, which is nice. And the oscillation itself doesn't make any noise, which is nice. And all of that was _after_ I dropped it on the ground while juggling lots of things between my house and car, to head to work. So far so good. I picked up this fan after reading millions of reviews on _other_ fans. I bought this one because it's cheap and sounded similar, in positives and negatives, to so many others - if it's going to be horrible, at least I'm not out $50+ bucks. **UPDATE** 08-08-2017 After consistent perfect performance, this afternoon the fan on low setting dramatically reduced power. It still oscillates and kicks out air, but only barely noticeable from arms length. The white noise aspect is greatly diminished. I haven't tried cleaning it yet - there was a good bit of dust on the air intake grate. High power setting function, with and without oscillate, is still flawless. **UPDATE** 09-13-2017 I think it objected to being turned off at the extension cord it shares with one lamp, as opposed to via the unit controls. When I started exclusively using the unit controls, it started working normally again. Weird, but that's easy to accommodate. **UPDATE** 01-09-2025 This trusty workhorse has been a steady performer for years now. Today, it developed a screech that I'll have to investigate. If I can get it working nicely again, it'll be relocated to my house. Today, I bought a new one for daily use in the office.

What makes this fan perfect for me is that it is small and narrow. I have a tiny kitchen with very little counter space and this fan fits perfect between my sink and microwave. I wouldn't say it's crazy powerful, but it definitely moves the air enough to make a difference. For as much as this fan is great though, it doesn't seem to last. I have had to buy a new one every year because it starts making this grinding noise when oscillating after a while. So the cost definitely adds up for me. Still. I can't argue with it's size and function and haven't been able to find anything that works remotely as well that is this small.

I feel I owe this AMAZING company Lasko a review! I bought this fan in 2017 and I am here to tell you that it is the BEST brand and quality of the fan you can ever buy! I have been using this fan in the Houston, TX heat throughout all these years and let me say that it is one of the best purchases of my life! It is cooling and very effective. It cools our entire living room and the dogs and I just love it. It also saves money as I often turn the ac off and instead use this van thus saving LOT OF MONEY each month and each year in electric bills. I also want to add another point for my deep love and appreciation of this fan - I have dropped it perhaps 30-40 times throughout the years....like seriously! NO KIDDING! I have a habit of cleaning things fast and fast...and let's say for example if I am doing the vacumm, then if the fan is on the corner of a table or on the floor, I have kicked the poor fan with the vacumm cleaner couple of times and so on...So yes, it has dropped many times to the ground and has NEVER broken...not even a small piece has chipped ever or come out. The fan is still as perfect and functional as if its still new. It doesn't make much noise - hardly any noise so that's another reason why I love it so much plus the settings. I have recommended this brand to many of my neighbors, friends, etc. and as for me, for rest of my life...I will be buying ONLY LASKO FANS! Amazing quality and price.

Quiet and sits out of the way

Me gustó la versatilidad y el poco espacio que ocupa, si bien es cierto, me llegó con una goma zafada y ocasionaba un ruido, se puede arreglar sin mayor problema. Cumple su función y me siento más fresco en esta temporada de calor.

It's an overpriced and absolutely useless product. It does not deliver air flow to even a 2 feet distance properly. An added disadvantage is that it is a product that operates at 110V and you need to buy a converter to use it.

nice

Funciona tal cual lo indica, tiene dos velocidades y es mas que suficiente para uso personal. Ocupa muy poco espacio, es razonablemente silencioso. Estéticamente es de 10, la foto muestra su tamaño respecto de un teléfono. Es pequeño y la potencia acorde, no esperes una corriente de aire "fuerte", cumple para un uso personal.
