Lasko WhisperForce 18" 12 Speed Oscillating Remote Control DC Motor Pedestal Fan, Black, S18708

Lasko makes a great product -- I have 4 of their fans -- and I was (if you'll excuse the pun) blown away with this model. I've bought many a floor fan in my day and none have met my expectations until now. The fan, in my opinion, is attractive (as attractive as a floor fan can get?), very quiet, has a remote and is easy to operate. Assembly was easy as well. I was so impressed with this model I went to Sam's and bought another one while they were still available. Trust me, you can't go wrong with this fan.

I love that it has a remote control so that I can make adjustments throughout the night without getting out of bed. Having a selection of 12 speeds is a great option vs the high/medium/low on a lot of fans. The oscillation range is good as well. It has a timer, but I haven't found a need for it yet. It's extremely quiet on the lower speeds, but when you crank it up to 12 there is a bit of noise, but still much quieter than others that don't put out near as much air. There is one thing that I would improve on and that's the up/down tilt. It doesn't have as much range as the left/right oscillation. I'd like for it to point more towards the ceiling or the floor. It doesn't bother me enough to lower the 5-star rating. Overall, it's a great product, well worth the money, and I highly recommend it.

Definitely a great buy. I put it together in about five minutes, easy to operate super quiet. I never usually have to turn it past five and it has 12 different speed settings. Love the remote control and the timer. I would definitely buy again. great quality great product.

Best fan ever! This is our second Lasko, 18 inch fan with remote. One in our bedroom, I turn the fan down from 12 to 10, and put it on oscillate with the remote, when I go to bed. The second one, the new one is in the kitchen for afternoon dinners, keeping me and my guests cool and comfy!

Love this fan! Puts off great amount of air for the room and I love the remote it comes with and ability to change the fan speed all the way up to 12 levels. The only reason for 4 stars is the light on the fan that shows the speed is very bright at night in our room so we had to use something to cover up the light. Wish that feature would dim or go away after a few seconds.

Depends on your needs. For stationary day time use it would be great.(5*) For sleep time bedroom use, not so great (2*). Oscillation makes a annoying rumbling noise %26 the lights (even after they dim ) are way to bright. 12 speeds from barely moving to tornado speed (many useless).

I've always had Lasko fans so this time I wanted to buy thier best model. But I quickly returned this fan because: 1) The fan spin is unbalanced and causes the fan to wobble / shake. I reassembled the fan a few times to make sure that it was put together right. But the fan plastic blade assembly is not symmetrical, so the fan spins with a wobble which drove me crazy. 2) Other Lasko fans power on to the LOW setting, but this fan powers on to the HIGH setting, meaning every time the fan is powered on, I would have to lower the fan speed manually. Additionally, there are 12 fan speeds on this model, not 3, so turning it down to say speed 4 from 12 takes time effort and concentration each power on. 3) This fan is made with thinner / lighter plastics and metal rods than a standard Lasko fan to be more “eco”. The plastic had epoxy strings still on it and the fan was so light that it contributed to the unbalanced shaking. 4) The fan is indeed very quiet compared to the other Lasko fans. However it was so quiet that I actually enjoy white noise in the bedroom… but it was too quiet and I actually wanted more white noise. I went back to the lower model 3 speed fan which is stable without wobble, powers on to Low, and has a nice sound

Bought a very similar fan several years ago from Sams. This one is just ok, not as good as the older models. But this was better than the one at Walmart. Low speed is useless, barely blows and air. On lower speeds, the fan wobbles A LOT, but it's fine on higher speeds. It does the job, but probably wouldn't buy again.

Poor quality, especial the plastic grill, it is not only rough but also does fit because distortion of the back grill. Remote control is weak, it work around 20 degree less. Package is more terrible, retail box look like refurbished (or it was refurbished) with only dark ink on the bare brown carton box, no color or cover to prevent water penetration into the box surface. The fan shakes when running can can see clearly at its grill. It is said that the fan made in USA but with poor quality I don't think so.

It's not very well made as far as sturdiness for such a big base and such a large fan top the top of it's very loose. It's just not as powerful as I thought it was going to be especially for a $75 fan.

It's just not as powerful as I thought it was going to be especially for a $75 fan. It just feels very cheap. It doesn't seem like it's solid and it's very hard to get it to point down if you really want to point down a little bit. And even if you have the adjustment knob tightened. It'll still move up and down. It's just not a very sturdy fan.
