Lasko 2265QM 20-inch Max Performance High Velocity Floor/Wall Mount Fan, Silver

(Update July 2019... Price of this fan has dropped $10 in the last year, making this fan only $15 more expensive than the B-air Firtana to which I compare it below. Both fans are still working for me. But the B-air Firtana has eleven percent 1-star reviews, most because of the fan quickly dying whereas this Lasko has only three percent one-star reviews. At just a $15 difference, I'd buy the Lasko today. The reviews are four times more negative for the B-air, though, again, both are still working for me.)This fan shows up alongside the B-air Firtana-20X when you search for 20-inch fans on Amazon. They look fairly similar, so why does this fan cost so much more--$62 vs $39 for the B-air? Having recently bought one of each, here are my observations.Similarities:1. Dimensions, pivoting ability, weight. They seem very similarly constructed initially.2. Apparent effectiveness in moving air. Both have three speeds, both seem to put out air well. If anything, in a subjective test the B-air seems a bit more powerful. But again, this was subjective...3. Construction. Both have metal shrouds, metal blades, rubber shock absorbers connecting fan to stand to keep vibration down and grounded three-prong plugs at the end of substantial cords.Differences which might explain the difference in price:1. The Lasko has a front-mounted speed control. The B-air has its speed control mounted directly on the motor and can only be controlled from the back.2. The Lasko comes with a substantial wall mounting plate. The B-air says it can be mounted on the wall, but doesn't include a fixture for doing so. It's up to you to find the hardware for hanging the B-air. Also, the Lasko's front-mounted switch makes controlling it when wall-mounted more convenient.3. The Lasko's motor is enclosed in a plastic shield at the back while the B-air exposes the metal back of its motor. Is a shield better? I don't know. One reviewer complains about hair becoming sucked into the B-air's motor. Perhaps a shield would help with this. Yet a shield is an added expense, and I would think Lasko wouldn't put one over the back of their motor if there weren't some utility in doing so.4. The Lasko has hinged connectors for mating the two halves of the fan shroud, making it an easy tool-less job to remove the shroud and clean the blades. The B-air has screws attaching the two halves of the shroud over the blade.Conclusion:It's a crap shoot. But the B-air has a surprising number of one-star reviews which claim the fan died within months of purchase--and a number of reviewers also claim that the B-air is a generic fan sold under many names. Take the risk on the B-air and you might be happy you did. If you want to hang your fan from a wall, get the Lasko. Perhaps in a year I will know more about their reliability. Right now it's hard to judge, and the Lasko is a great deal more expensive. I say go with the B-air, but if it breaks I'll be back with an update.

Item draws 130W, and runs on 110V-130V supply, so there was an incompatibility of power-draw in the host country of purchase.Supplier was understanding in the matter, and quickly responded with option to either return (at own cost) and full refund, or keep the item, and take offer of partial refund which could go towards purchase of a power transformer.Product works as advertised. There is some fan noise, but to be expected for its size.Worth mentioning, is that if you purchase a power-transformer, because the product has a motor, and potentially, you may want to run it for a 24 hour cycle, you need a transformer that can handle output power anywhere from 3 to 6 times the output of the fan (130W). Consequently, you would need a transformer rated for 400W to 800W power, at a minimum. The cost for such a transformer may be prohibitive for some, but if you have utility for such a thing, you can use it elsewhere about the home if your power-supply is 220-240V.Summary - excellent customer service; product that works as advertised; some fan noise but expected for its size; draws 130W and runs on a 110-130V power supply - so you will need a power transformer if your wall supply is 220-240V.

Finally a fan that works and also is made very solid.

i bought this for noise and it is noisy so i love for that soft sound... the wind it gives off is amazing, keeps room cool, very high options for wind
