Lasko 16" 3-Speed Oscillating, Remote, Timer, Adjustable Height Pedestal Fan 1646

The fan is great I brought two

Arrived early and well packaged, however there was a crack in the plastic height adjustment ring. Which means it doesn't support the pole, making fan less usable. Could be fixed with duct tape or gorilla glue or something, but for the price paid, I want a fully operational model. I like Lasko, but this seems to be a problem with their pedestal fans. The non-remote ones we have at work also have similar problem (although we taped those) but height is not adjustable that way. Walmart was quick to refund and we gave the remaining pieces to local community that was happy to fix it for set height use.

Well packaged, delivery went well. Lasko. Our go to for years. Now? No. Flimsy, ultramarine plastic everything. Assembled easily. Turn it on, let the fun start. Black smoke, thick stench of burning oil. Machine lubricant? Perhaps. Turned on low, close by in case of flames. Afterc40 minutes still smoke and burning smell. Trashed. Not worth a fire. Lasko. Shame on you.

I finally had to replace my 18” Lasko fan so bought this one. It's a great fan and I love having the remote. If you want a quiet fan, this one is definitely for you, but if you're like me and need the noise AND wind to sleep either get the bigger version or just put it on high like I do. Overall, it's a great fan.

Waited weeks to get this shipped into my local walmart. Couldn't even put it together. The front plastic piece was totally warped and wouldn't even snap on to rest of fan because it was so crooked. Not to mention whole thing shook violently unless it was on high. Seems like it was made very quick and cheaply - maybe due to being out of season...either way definitely going back. Would have been a decent fan otherwise....

This fan is shorter than I expected, but it is still good for moving air, and keeping you cooler. I really like the remote - Forget to turn the fan on before getting into bed? No problem, just reach over to your nightstand, press a button, and it's on. It even comes with a little piece of Velcro that you can stick half to the back of the remote, and half on the location you want to keep it.

I am so glad I didn't listen to the reviews that kept saying the fan is short. The fan is perfect, if you are sitting on a couch, a chair, laying in bed, working at your desk, standing, walking around, this fan will comfortably reach. I'm thinking these people may have not extended the main pole up and that would definitely make it short. But anyway, not only is it the perfect height, I truly love the way it turns on and the way you choose low, med, or high. It has these really easy soft touch buttons, and a light that shows what setting its on. IF you shut it off, and turn it on later it remembers the last setting and will start on that setting. It oscillates perfectly with no clicking sound. The air flow is just enough, but not over powering. We also own very strong fans, but this one I needed to gently keep my handicapped daughter cool and comfortable while in bed, or watching tv, etc. but not so much that it froze her. The remote need 2 AA batteries, does not come with it.

I have a smaller desk top version of the Lasko fan and I LOVE IT! When I found this fan, I was eager to get it home and help with the hot summers we have in Texas. After I got it assembled, I discovered that the stationary button that keeps the fan from rotating came off in my hand when I tried to use it. It does not work on stationary, nor does the 16" fan circulate much air at all. The remote is a nice feature, but I rarely use it, because in order to get the airflow I need, the fan must be close enough to me that I find a remote for it senseless. I was extremely disappointed in the fan, and use my smaller desk fan instead.

I have a fan on me all the time because it keeps me cool and lowers my electric bill considerably. I bought this Lasko 16" fan for a good price and was interested in the remote function; and after a few weeks I would never buy another fan without this feature. This mostly plastic fan once assembled is sturdy, quiet and offers overall above average performance. It has one important drawback, however: the height adjustment knob is useless. It goes around and around and cannot hold the fan at any height. So this important issue has the fan at its lowest height ALL THE TIME: Two or three feet from the floor. Adjusting the height is a most crucial part of a fan.

Opened the package brand new and item was obviously previously used. Brown stains on the outer cover.
