LAKEWOOD ENGINEERING CO. 14-inch Three-Speed Mini Tower Oscillating Fan, Plastic, Charcoal Gray Review

I ordered this fan for a desk in my home office. I paid approximately $23. It arrived today. There is no assembly (a plus). The unit is compact-about 14" tall and 8 inches in diameter at its base. It's attractive; gray plastic with neat dials for oscillation and speed control easily accessible on the front. The power cord is long enough to reach down the back and to the side of my desk for the power strip on the floor. This unit was definitely designed with a professional desk in mind-and fits in well.

It has 3 speeds and an option for oscillation. The lowest speed is powerful-perhaps a bit too powerful for the unit to be sitting directly in front of me. On low, it's blowing the vertical blinds that are 6 feet away from it. Still, this may come in handy for the Arizona heat and it's quite effective in cooling.

The unit is vibration-free, both when still and oscillating.

My sole complaint with this unit is that it is noisy. A high pitched "whirring" sound emits from the motor. The noise is far too obnoxious and intrusive at the other two settings, rendering the other two levels fairly useless. The noise is comparable to an oven hood fan (on its respective settings). I couldn't tolerate that noise all day or even for more than a few minutes. It's simply not conducive for an office environment. That's disappointing, too, especially considering that all of its other traits work to its favor and I otherwise like this fan very much.

If the noise factor were fixed, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this product. It's affordable, attractive, compact, effective in cooling, and vibration free. However, as it stands, I recommend it only if the noise would not bother you.

Product Description:
Don't bother with fans that need to be placed on a desk or floor when you can have one that does both. As effective as it is versatile, the fan comes equipped with a blower wheel for efficient air delivery and an on/off switch oscillation button for a wider air circulation arc. If an oscillating air-flow isn't enough, you can always use the slide switch to select the correct speed and achieve the desired air flow. The permanently lubricated motor helps provide a long-lasting and effective operation. Global Product Type: Fans-Base; Fan Head Size: 14 in; Fan Type: Base; Width: 8 in.
