Some of the reviews had me worried due to people saying putting this bad boy together was a pain. I am a barely functioning human being. If it involves me having to use a screwdriver, we're going to be in for an adventure. I was able to assemble this within 15 minutes AND without crying. It is extremely easy to put together. There are all of 4 steps.
NOW onto reviewing how well it works.
I live in Louisiana. Not only is the temperature around what the fiery pits of Hell must be like. But there is also humidity to add even more fun to it. I come home to a house that is roughly around 84 degrees F at 5:30 in the evening so I needed a little help with cooling off. Within 5 minutes of turning this thing on it was like an angel had come down from heaven and began to personally blow cool air on my face. I was genuinely close to tears. If this thing only lasts a month it will have been worth the money. Also people keep mentioning the light being bright at night. It's a little bitty green light the size of a pen top, not a laser beam.
The Lasko 42" Wind Curve (wih ionizer) is a very good fan and is powerful enough for 20 x 20 foot room. The tall height works well in a bedroom where one might need to feel the breeze a bit higher while laying on a high mattress. You can also adjust the top portion of the vent up or down for your needs. The remote is handy for just such an occasion as well. The Lasko was very quiet despite its powerful breeze. The base is sturdy and I have experienced no rattling.
I compared the Lasko fan to the Holmes 32" Oscillating Tower Fan and there was no comparison. The Holmes fan was too short to generate a breeze above my bed where I needed it. The power of the fan was also extremely weak in general--especially since it was being advertised as a whole house fan. Essentially, Holme's most powerful breeze was equivalent to the lowest setting on the Lasko. The interface was confusing. And there also was no remote. The Holmes base is sturdy and I experienced no rattling.
I also compared the Lasko to the Sunter 40" Tower Fan (2 Pack Combo with a 13" Personal Fan). While I preferred the look of the Lasko (the silver color made it more versatile for both dark and light color themes), the truth is, of all three, the Sunter was the most powerful--though maybe only a step above. The 40" height was still high enough to reach over the bed where I needed it. Its top portion of the vent is not adjustable up-and-down like the Lasko--but most fans don't have that feature. The Sunter was fairly quiet, but not as quiet as the Lasko. The remote appears chintzier than the Lasko's but it turns out Sunter's remote range is stronger than the Lasko's. The Sunter base is sturdy and I experienced no rattling. However, I did experience vibration and rattling with its bonus personal 13" fan that came with it.
Of all three fans, the Lasko was the easiest to assemble. I felt the Lasko was the most attractively versatile with its silver finish. Both the Lasko and Sunter have an easy interface to understand. Both were sturdy and did not rattle. The Lasko has the quietest breeze, with the Sunter a close quiet second. However, the Sunter offered the strongest breeze, with Lasko being a close second. Both were good for 20 x 20' rooms. The Lasko offers three speed settings; the Sunter offers four speed settings. Both offer timers. The Lasko offers an ionizer feature which is nice; however, the Sunter offers an interesting evening breeze feature. (The evening breeze feature tapers off the breeze to the next lowest level every half an hour as you drift off to sleep--VERY nice.)
Finally, [at the time of this review] the Lasko costs $56.52 on Amazon; while the Sunter costs $39.99 at Costco (or $44.32 on Amazon). The $16 higher price for the Lasko dramatically altered my star rating for the product down to a 4-star. And since the Sunter is fairly comparable (with a bonus fan) at a dramatically cheaper price, I am posting a 5-star for the Sunter as a best-buy.
This fan was a “treat yo self” item to replace this sad oscillating fan I previously had from Food 4 Less on sale and frankly I regret nothing about this purchase!
I originally purchased this due to my previous fan not being strong enough - I couldn’t feel a significant breeze when it passed by me. I didn’t buy this specifically because it had an ionizer but because I needed something more powerful and less clunky. Now my room is HUMID for so many reasons: huge old furniture in a tiny room, stale air with no circulation and even when I leave my window open for days the humidity never leaves because there is a tree right outside of it blocking any nice summer breezes. My room is UNBEARABLE. Especially when I have hot flashes, I am dying at night since I can get super easily hot and uncomfortable. With that being said this fan does THE JOB.
It is powerful and helps the circulation in my room. I always kept the fan in my room on not because I was hot but to circulate the stale air in my room to avoid my allergies going insane and this fan automatically makes my room feel fresh! My room does not feel as humid and I am in love with this fan!
I love that the fan comes with a remote but sadly it requires AAA batteries which is a downside to me because I never have AAA batteries handy only AA. But setting up this fan was quite easy!
Funny little advice: if you are tiny please set this up with another person. I am 5’2 and I didn’t realize how tall this tower fan was until I tried to shimmy it out of the box by myself and shook it so hard I smacked myself in the face with the ridiculously tall box. Plus the tower fan is so long that setting up the base on the floor was slightly inconvenient. Setting up the fan is quite self explanatory and very easy to do. This fan is easily almost taller than me and almost defeated me due to height.
Do not let my salty opinions discourage you. This fan is great! One other quirk about this is that on its lowest setting it is a bit noisy. I am used to sleeping with a tv on or the radio so be aware of this. Its not super loud but I know some people are very sensitive to noises when sleeping and do not factor this in. It is tolerable for someone like me to sleep while this is on the lowest setting because it just becomes background noise to me and if you are like me and can sleep to tv noises then this shouldn’t be a problem. It has a timer anyways in case you worry about turning it off.
I hope you like it as much as I do!
Let ME tell you about this fan. It's easy, it's breezy and it ain't sleezy. Have you SEEN that woodgrain? Hold me back, I'm gonna get emotional. You're paying $55 here to voucher slip out of a damn heat stroke. The world's on fire, the globe is warming, but you're gonna be smart, right? With this (surprisingly tall) modern work of art you can fight Trump's dismissal of the EPA by setting one of these bad boys up in every city hall in your state. Not a humanitarian? Do what I do, and place it right by your head at night and get absolutely drilled in the face by that cool, angelic wind current. And don't even think about touching it with your hands, you got a REMOTE for that. I don't care if it's an elbows length away, you're gonna feel cooler than ever controlling it with infrared, baby. I gave this a 4 out of 5 in versatility to encourage Alexa integration.
Goodbye ugly box fan! Hello gorgeous cooling tower! This is the fan I've been dreaming of for years. It is whisper-quiet and unobtrusive, while pushing out a lot of airflow. I was surprised at how tall it was, but anything smaller probably wouldn't be as effective in my kitchen/dining room/living room combined space. I am so happy with this purchase!

Description
Lasko T42950 Wind Curve Tower Fan with Remote Control and Fresh Air Ionizer, Black Woodgrain. Lasko’s Wind Curve tower fans have a sophisticated profile and space-saving design that blends well into home decor. The fresh air ionizer option generates negative ions and disperses them to combat and dispel air pollution. As the negative ion levels grow, the air feels naturally fresher.
I read a lot of reviews before deciding to purchase this product, and they were all pretty accurate.
This is not an air conditioner. As much as you may want it to be, it is a fan. Sometimes it feels like the air comming out of it is coller, sometimes it’s in the same temperature as the room (just like a fan). I haven’t yet been able to determine what makes it cooler.
This is, however, better than any other fan I’ve tried. It’s bigger, has good potency, and did a good job helping me survive the summer in Los Angeles.
I love this fan! Some fans feel kind of weak, but this puts out a good bit of air. I like how the top few inches has slots so you can direct the air up or down. Not sure that it really makes much of a difference, but I like having the option. I don't notice that the ionizer makes the air feel/smell any fresher (I have 2 dogs so I was hoping to notice a difference in air quality) but it does seem to make the air cooler somehow. The oscillating feature is great for me. Use it often and haven't had any issues with squeaking or clicking like other fans. Haven't used the timer, but I can see how that might be handy. My favorite feature is the remote. It works great and I love how you can activate the power and all of the features with it. I've noticed this fan doesn't collect dust as quickly as my old 3 blade fan did so that's a bonus too. This is a great product and I've been extremely happy with it.
Only had for 1 night, but loving it so far. I read a lot of reviews some stated that it was shipped in original box and the box and product were damaged. I also received mine in the original box but had no issues at all. Neither the box or the fan were damaged in any way. Only have to put the base together and it's very easy to do. We have used pedestal oscillating fans for years, there is no comparison this fan is MUCH better than those. I'm not sure how but it seems to blow out cooler air, not cold but cooler. I love you can sit on the couch and fill it blow over your entire body, instead of just one area. It's quite and last night when the house was quite it makes a noise but I find it soothing, nothing that would keep me awake or have to turn TV up louder to hear over it. Live in FL, it's been a miserable August, a/c set at 80 all day every day turn it down at night and still runs too much for me and this fan will make it a lot more comfortable especially doing the day. Wish we would of gotten this fan sooner (like years ago), we will start replacing the rest of our pedestals. Highly recommend and the pricing is great and it's an American made product and company.
I don't even remember how much I paid for this fan but it was totally worth it. I live in the mid west where summer is like living in satans armpit so my hopes werent really that high when I found out that I drunkenly impulse bought a weird fan that swivels. But the fan looks fancy, I dont know what the ionizer does but its fanrastic. The fan is real quiet for the amount of air it blows out (which is a lot) and it rotates quite a bit to cover my 20x20 living room. For someone suffering from a swamp cooler, this has literally saved my life from melting into my couch from the sheer heat of my house.
I just wrote a review about the Vornado 184 tower fan. Let's just say that I was disappointed. This is why I returned it and now have this Lasko 2554 tower fan.
Trust me, this Lasko 2554 is approximately $45 cheaper and works much better. The Lasko is a good solid tower fan. It blows sufficient air and is pretty quiet as well. No tower fan is going to out perform a regular axial style conventional fan, hower tower fans look much sleeker. I'd rather give up a bit of airflow with a tower fan versus having a big ugly box fan.
This Lasko 2554 is a nice looking unit, it feels very solid compared to some others as well. It's not wobbly since it ocilates at the very bottom of the stand. I've had several tower fans over the years and this one blows pretty strong and is on the quiet to average side. It's much better than the Vornado in my opinion.
Based on my experience with tower fans. All will last a long time if you do these two things. Take the fan outside and blow the inside thoroughly out with compressed air a couple times per year. Also the number one failure will be the bottom bushing on all of these tower fans. Oil the lower bushing/shaft when you blow the fan out and it should last for many years.
I would recommend this fan!
