MOST AWESOME FAN PERFECT IN EVERYWAY
I am so glad I didn't listen to the reviews that kept saying the fan is short. The fan is perfect, if you are sitting on a couch, a chair, laying in bed, working at your desk, standing, walking around, this fan will comfortably reach. I'm thinking these people may have not extended the main pole up and that would definitely make it short. But anyway, not only is it the perfect height, I truly love the way it turns on and the way you choose low, med, or high. It has these really easy soft touch buttons, and a light that shows what setting its on. IF you shut it off, and turn it on later it remembers the last setting and will start on that setting. It oscillates perfectly with no clicking sound. The air flow is just enough, but not over powering. We also own very strong fans, but this one I needed to gently keep my handicapped daughter cool and comfortable while in bed, or watching tv, etc. but not so much that it froze her. The remote need 2 AA batteries, does not come with it.

Piece of junk
This item is a piece of junk. It has a snap on base that will not hold the fan stable. The post will not hold the fan up but keeps sliding down and you can fold the fan blades in half. Cheap plastic. Save your time and money. Go to Lowes and get a utilitech fan. Same price but superior quality.

    Fan was easy to assemble, and works well. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because it's a little loud. Also, I can't set it to oscillate with the remote control.

    Great except for the base
    Height, price, size, speed, remote …. All great. The problem is the fan sent to me has an adjustable rod that doesn't lock into the base so when you adjust the fan to max height it slides right back down and you can't pick up the fan by the rod either because it comes off the base. Now the hassle of returning it which defeats the purpose of ordering online to avoid going to the store.

    Good fan
    The output of this fan is much better than the tower fan that it replaced. If you're looking for function over aesthetics, this is the fan to buy. The assembly was simple. And I love the remote control. I need white noise to sleep. Even though I live in Phoenix, the mornings are chilly in winter, and I am able to turn off the fan before I get out of bed. I wish that the fan was made with a bit more metal, rather than plastic. But time will tell how well it holds up. Overall, I'm happy with this fan, especially for the price.

    Works great
    This fan is shorter than I expected, but it is still good for moving air, and keeping you cooler. I really like the remote - Forget to turn the fan on before getting into bed? No problem, just reach over to your nightstand, press a button, and it's on. It even comes with a little piece of Velcro that you can stick half to the back of the remote, and half on the location you want to keep it.

    Ferace
    I have a fan on me all the time because it keeps me cool and lowers my electric bill considerably. I bought this Lasko 16" fan for a good price and was interested in the remote function; and after a few weeks I would never buy another fan without this feature. This mostly plastic fan once assembled is sturdy, quiet and offers overall above average performance. It has one important drawback, however: the height adjustment knob is useless. It goes around and around and cannot hold the fan at any height. So this important issue has the fan at its lowest height ALL THE TIME: Two or three feet from the floor. Adjusting the height is a most crucial part of a fan.

    I have a smaller desk top version of the Lasko fan and I LOVE IT! When I found this fan, I was eager to get it home and help with the hot summers we have in Texas. After I got it assembled, I discovered that the stationary button that keeps the fan from rotating came off in my hand when I tried to use it. It does not work on stationary, nor does the 16" fan circulate much air at all. The remote is a nice feature, but I rarely use it, because in order to get the airflow I need, the fan must be close enough to me that I find a remote for it senseless. I was extremely disappointed in the fan, and use my smaller desk fan instead.

    Waited weeks to get this shipped into my local walmart. Couldn't even put it together. The front plastic piece was totally warped and wouldn't even snap on to rest of fan because it was so crooked. Not to mention whole thing shook violently unless it was on high. Seems like it was made very quick and cheaply - maybe due to being out of season...either way definitely going back. Would have been a decent fan otherwise....
