Tools and Hardware Reviews of Lasko 52" Oscillating Pedestal FanCustomer Review: Fan good, Lasko customer service not so good Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this fan just 5 days ago to replace a fan which had stopped working. I have a similar Lasko fan (identical except this one is taller) and have been pleased with it. It is a most unattractive fan, but it has been reliable. For this one I needed a taller fan. I have not had the need for a remote control in the past, but for this one I did. Where I need this fan, I need the remote to access the controls.
However, when the package arrived, the remote control was nowhere to be found. Lasko customer service by phone had closed for the day (4 CST), so I contacted them using their online form. They later responded by telling me I must either fax or mail them my Amazon receipt, that the information alone was not adequate.
I am 67 years old, so I have a bit of buying experience. I think only twice over the years have we ever ordered anything which arrived with missing parts. Both times, a phone call to customer service ensured we received our missing part by overnight delivery.
I emailed them back with the information they asked for, asking if I could please fulfill the requirement by email as I don't have a fax machine and didn't feel the need to spend 44 cents to correct their mistake.
I did not receive a reply from them, so I called them today. I spent over 30 minutes with customer service, much of the time on hold. My original question was if I could meet the requirements over the phone. I was told yes, and then we talked about how to accomplish this. I am also quite familiar with their "on-hold music." Supposedly I could and sent two emails while I was on the phone. However, the emails went to someone different than the person to whom I was talking, so he finally said they would call me back. Unfortunately, they called when I could not get to the phone, so I received a voice mail. I was told I must mail or fax the receipt, that the "receipt" I sent them -- which was a copy/paste of Amazon's invoice, something I couldn't "forge" if I had to, was not adequate. At this point, I am very frustrated over the whole experience. And I seldom get frustrated, believe it or not.
As far the fan itself, it seems to work okay. However, where I need to have it, I must access it with a remote which I do not have.
This review is not a knock on the fan itself (like I said, it is about as tacky a fan as I've seen, but we have one similar which has worked well) but a knock on Lasko's customer service if you end up with problems and have to deal with them.
