Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 2530 40-Inch Elite Wind Tower Fan with Remote Control
Customer Review: Needless Beep
Summary: 2 Stars
The fan's industrial design is compact and sleek. The build quality is sub-par - rubber pads that keep the unit from scuffing the floor have all fallen off, the fan makes an annoying ticking sound for about 10 minutes and then mysteriously goes away. But the single worst thing about this fan is that the engineers designed it to beep whenever a button is pressed. The fan beeps to turn on, beeps to change speeds, beeps to oscillate, and most annoyingly - it beeps when you turn it off! Why? Parents who would consider buying this to use around sleeping children beware. The only time it doesn't beep is during auto-off in sleep mode - mercifully. I do not recommend this fan.Customer Review: Perfect combination of size and performance
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this fan for my wife's "snuggery," a converted porch that's long and narrow, and has a window AC at the far end. Even with a ceiling fan, the place gets warm in the summer sun (the unshaded end of the house, for sure), and the AC is too far away to really help much. The fan takes up so little space that we can place it midway from the AC to the loveseat where she sits to knit and watch TV, and the cooling effect is pronounced, all without giving up much space (or sacrificing another window to an AC).
It's perfect for what it's made for, quiet, efficient, and small in footprint. We like it a lot.

Customer Review: This was a lifesaver for me this past summer
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to cool 2 rooms with only one air-conditioner because of the small window size in my bedroom. The fan needs to be perched with my bedroom door open into the living room ... but this big bulky window box type fan I was using blocked the bathroom door next to my room and I'd stumble into it at night (not to mention it was super loud and didn't work very well).
This fan is perfect. Even with just the fan on I felt much cooler. It's surprisingly powerful, slim and so quiet I couldn't believe it. I was sorry I hadn't ordered it before August, I would've had a really pleasant entire summer, sleeping wise.
Couldn't be more pleased.
Customer Review: Good Buy.
Summary: 4 Stars
Never had a tower fan before, but this was a treat to buy for the summer. The first one arrived damaged from shipping and the manufacturer stated that it is unusual for that to happen during shipping. Got my replacement in four days in great shape.
The fan is quiet for the most part, but can make a clicking noise when you first start it but quickly goes away. No noise on oscillation. Stirs the air enough to feel it across the room even on a low setting. This is great for an apartment, dorm or office.
Does not come with the 2 AAA batteries needed for the remote, but my apartment is small enough for me to easily walk over to it so I don't mind.
Customer Review: Nice while it lasted...
Summary: 2 Stars
As with the reviewer above, I purchased this fan from another store and it worked well at first. The remote was a nice touch and the fan speeds and settings worked well. However within 4 months of owning it, when we tried to have it rotate, it turns slightly, gets stuck, and proceeds to just make a clicking sound until you stop it from rotating. Needless to say it no longer rotates, so it is now just a stationary fan. I even tried taking it apart to unjam it, but came to discover that the rotating gear was already worn down and that was the problem, so without new parts it could not be fixed. Buy another fan if you want it to last, I know I am.
