LaskoOutdoor Living Oscillating Tower Fan, for Decks, Patios and Porches, 10 Foot Power Cord, 4 Refreshing Speeds, 42", Beige, YF202

Bought this for an outdoor covered area that faces west and therefore gets very warm in the hot afternoon sun. Some of the reviews indicated the airflow may not be great but I have found this to be a simple 5-minutes assembly-to-operational use (removing packaging and breaking down the box it came in included) and a great fan for airflow at least 5-8' away when on the highest setting. There are 4 settings and they are efficient with airflow consistent with the setting type selected. The casing is hard durable plastic, the stand sturdy and a quick "snap" in place for use. Handle on top allows easy adult location movement of the fan, although it is somewhat of a "lug" to move around. Although the product is actually 41.5" x 7.5" in size, the actual fan portion for airflow is in the upper top section and only 8" for blowing airflow (actual cooling). Therefore, it works better for an area where people are sitting. Note: This is a stationery fan. It does not oscillate and therefore it does not move back and forth to distribute air. It is only one-directional - straight ahead. This should be considered before purchasing to assure you are getting the type of fan that works for which you intend.

The fan power is excellent. It’s so good that I keep it mostly on low which is still powerful.This fan is much better than those I have used in the past. I like the fact that it’s vertical and doesn’t take up valuable space on our deck. I recommend this fan.

The fan is good and value for money. It’s good for outdoor use. The only limitation is narrow passage of air flow due to small air vent.

Ordered this for our covered outdoor patio and it works wonderfully. Helps keep it cool and keeps those annoying bugs at bay! Also nice and quiet even on the mid-level speeds!

Fan works great! We use it when we are outside. Glad we made the purchase.

Works great, and produces a lot of air.

The tower cooling vents are misleading. The tower in the picture and description appears to blow air from the entire front which is fully vented. No, it does not blow air from all the vents.The front vents are 22 inches in length (yes, I measured it when I first turned it on) BUT the section that actually blows air is only 8 inches. Misleading. I thought I was buying a tower that could blow cool air out of the entire front section of the tower (22 inches). Misleading and less effective than I want/need.

Really good outdoor fan. I read some other reviews which weren't great, and I couldn't disagree more. This while seeming like a larger unit, takes up MUCH LESS space than a regular fan. It is fairly quiet - even on the highest setting. Again it's not 100% silent, which it's not supposed to be. But it's not loud. And if you need quieter, the lower settings still provide a lot of air. This is a great product.
