Lasko Pro Performance Blower Fan, 4900 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Hey folks! I must say that this Lasko fan is VERY impressive. I've owned this fan for well over 5 years ... and it works just as good as day 1.

It's exceptionally quite because it uses a turbine - not blades. It moves a vast amount of air, even on low speed. It would blow away any typical $15 box fan. I'd be willing to bet that it would outperform an 18" Patten high velocity air circulator! It's also better than the similar looking Stanley, which get high marks from reviewers here.

I found that the Stanley is a smaller less powerful fan and it's not built as tough. Remember to compare the size and weight and you'll see a difference. For an extra $10, this fan is a much better buy.

Incidentally, I have 3 cats and I had suspected that cat fur might have reduced the performance of this fan ... so I decided to take it apart. This was easily done by removing approximately 8 screws. My suspicions were correct! I found what appeared to be a 1/2 inch thick blanket of cat hair on the turbine. This was nearly choking the air flow. I cleaned it out and then blew it out with my air compressor. The fan now runs like new, full force again.

The reason to tell this cat story is simply - you need to know that this fan is serviceable ... by you, as long as you own a Philips screwdriver. Other fans cannot be serviced and would NEVER last over 5 years.

I saw no reviews on this fan, so I felt compelled to let you know my experience. I would recommend this fan over ANY other fan without hesitation.

One last note: as an alternate choice, I also had this Lasko tower fan (turbine) for over 5 years. Lasko #4924 High Velocity Blower (overpriced here - $49 at Sam's Club)

Cheers!
Jeff

Lasko Innovators in Home Comfort MAX Performance Pivoting Utility Fan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This fan moves some very serious air.I use it for drying floors, comfort on hot days, and ventilation (Oops, burnt the food in the oven and smoke is everywhere - not for long!)

It is a centrifugal fan (also known as a radial or squirrel cage), so it creates high velocity but not high pressure. You can really feel the air flowing into you, but if you put anything between you and the fan, forget it. It is very loud for its size. It does also require more energy to operate.

I did not give this fan a 5-star rating for one reason: maintenance.The manufacturer did not make this fan easy to clean.After a few years of use, its performance had a very noticable drop.I spent a lot of time getting this thing open, and when I finally did the source of performance degredation was obvious.Trapped inside the center of the impeller was a great amount of dirt/lent. The blades also had a big buildup of grime.The fan was actually functioning as an air cleaner, but that was clogging it. There is absolutely no way you can clean this fan without opening it up, and opening it up was not easy.

This is characteristic of a centrifugal fan.Lasko knows this, but they still made it difficult to access for cleaning. Unless you are a bit handy with tools and willing to disassemble electronics, expect any fan of this type to steadily drop in performance.
