Comfort Zone 20" Box Fan

I got this purely as a white noise generator, and it does that very well even on the lowest setting. My house is on a trucking route and there's a stoplight about 50ft from our driveway. It's around 30ft from my bedroom window to the road. This thing isn't magic, it won't drown out house-rumbling sounds like full dump-trucks or revving motor-bikes, or super-high-pitched sounds like the squeal of a failing break pad, but it does work for about 70-80% of noise. In the summer my window AC unit does the job, so I use this in the winter. When I first got it there was also a small clicking sound as the fan rotated, and I saw there was some contact between the hub and some part of the frame. It seems to have fixed itself after running for about a day.

It seems to work okay but the smells awful. I should return it but I hate to go through the trouble for a $20 fan; so I will run it til it dies and will post back when it does. I hope the smell goes away soon; I hope it wont start a fire. I normally buy Lasko at Walmart without issues...they just die after a few years. When I was young, our fans could be oiled and they lasted... UPDATE- 6/11/21- The smell went away in a few days and the fans are doing well. UPDATE- 6/12/25 - 4 years and I changed one star to FIVE. I noticed the fan was stopping quickly when I would shut it off; I took off the grate and found I could drip some 3-IN-ONE oil onto the bearings. It worked, the blades moved freely again. I drilled a hole in the center of the plastic grate so I don't have to remove the grate to oil it. To oil the other side, I still have to remove the blades and drip oil down the shaft.

I do really like the look of this fan and it has great at air circulation. Even on setting one though it's pretty loud. I like to sleep with a fan, but when I use it I need ear plugs even on the lowest setting. That said it's very powerful when I use it to dry my clothes that I don't put in the dryer. It's lightweight and easy to move around if needed.

Needed a new fan this one was great st night I don’t hear it running and cool my bedroom very well plus my dog lays in front of it to cool ofef

This fan worked well while it lasted. Then it died 6 weeks after I received it. The fan has a fuse that blew and I replaced it. This did not resolve the problem. Apparently the fuse was insufficient to protect the fan from common AC fluctuations. NOTE: This was not the result of a significant power surge, such as you would use a surge protector for. I have other devices on the same circuit that are far more sensitive and they have had no issues. This problem is the result of bad design and very low quality parts. There is a reason why good fans and similar devices do not use fuses. They do not need them as their components can handle the normal fluctuations that are always present in AC current. Well made devices that are sensitive enough to be harmed by those fluctuations employ a power supply. (Wall wort or brick on the power cord.) Or they integrate power conditioning into the unit. This fan would require a UPS battery backup to be reliable. Surge protectors do not help in these situations. They are designed to protect your devices from high energy spikes that result from situations such as blown transformers or lightning strikes. Bottom line: This fan is way over priced and completely unreliable. I will probably go back to Lasko as they have always had really good fans in the past.

It’s just like the box fans I grew up on the right amount of white noise drowns out neighborhood dogs and also great circulation. Will purchase again. I have suggested to all I know.

Fan has safety covera on both sides. Legs to keep it upright. There IS a difference between each speed. Used in the bedroom to draw air from air conditioner. Low noise level.

The feet break off and fall off really easily

Very fragile rubbish. DO NOT BUY. I ordered 1 of these already & had to send it back because it was delivered damaged. It was completely destroyed. It was very difficult to return because of its size. I spent a lot of money just going to multiple return points in a Taxi through multiple towns & they all refused to take it off my hands. I ordered a replacement & that also came damaged. Now I have to wait for 2 refunds on 2 box fans. I’m going to phone Amazon to make a formal complaint & to get them to arrange a pickup from the delivery address because I can’t return it because ALL DROP OFF POINTS WILL REFUSE TO RETURN IT TO AMAZON.

Hecha buen aire, no es tan silencioso pero quita bien el calor

Very happy with this fan. Relatively low noise. Several settings to set how much air you want to move. Great handle for carrying around. Feet could connect a little more confidently, but does the job. Would definitely recommend.

No reply when asked about the plug, tried 3 different plug adapters im in the UK and cant use the thing. I threw the box away so cant get my money back and no reply from the seller..

Great using it as an extraction fan for spray tans and does the job and is decently quiet
