Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 2530 40-Inch Elite Wind Tower Fan with Remote ControlCustomer Review: Just overpriced for what you get. Summary: 2 Stars
My quick opinion in case you don't like to read, get a cheap [..]fan, and you'll get just as much out of it as this one.
For a longer review..
This is my first tower fan and I'm not impressed at all. It looks kinda cool, futuristic, fancy, or whatever, has a remote, it works, but it's nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the price. 1 star for looks\remote. 1 star because it works.
As far as being a huge space saver? Not really. I was expecting maybe the girth of a coke can, not a basketball, and 40 inches just seems taller actually seeing it in person. Compared to other fans that blow around the same amount of air, I'd say this would be in the larger size category.
Performance-wise, it's about as powerful as your average older, cheap, small desk fans and makes about the same noise. Not silent, but nowhere near being loud.. nothing that'll make you turn the tv's volume up. As a fan, it works and I'm content with it, although I was expecting a little more power for the price.
If I had a do-over on this purchase, I'd go with your average every day $10-20 fan before this one. The only thing I prefer about this one is the look and the remote is a nice touch, but neither of those are worth the price, in my opinion. I could buy atleast 3 or so fans that work just as well for the amount I spent on this one fan. The only reason I'd suggest this fan to anyone is if they have money to blow and the look or the remote alone is worth the extra $50-60.
Also, those looking for technical information, which was only obtainable by contacting the manufacturer, I'll post the FPM ratings for this fan. For whatever reason, the fan's measured in FPM, when all fans I've ever seen were measured in CFM. There are no decibel\noise ratings, however.. They claimed "there are too many factors involved in this process", blah blah. Funny how most other manufacturers seem to do just fine providing these ratings for their fans, though..
Quoted from an e-mail from [..]:
"Model 2530's FPM:
Low = 760
Medium = 860
High = 950
Disclaimer: These are not HVI certified numbers."
