Lasko 20 Inch Box Fan. Best Window Fan?

[@theericfreeze1493]

I got a 1974 Lakewood County air box fan, it is more powerful than Lasko and has metal blades. My Lakewood is in avocado green and is quite quiet on low speed and becomes noisy on high speed. It also scares my dog because of the crazy air flow but in summer it is the second thing you want next to air conditioning.

[@OneCheapEric]

What a beautiful fan the Lakewood in avocado is. Great buy!

[@knoptop]

I'm not a fan of puns, so I'll just leave a straight forward comment.. This fan looks cool!

[@OneCheapEric]

+knoptop Snuck a very punny fun in there.

[@Mixwell1983]

Got a lasko box fan marked down to $8.97 last week. Have it in the window to pull hot hair out. Also have a high velocity lasko fan with a blower motor that really pushes air.

[@CNETHome]

Top notch review. Should have 560K views, not 560. On point.

[@OneCheapEric]

+RIZKNOWS. Thanks Jeff, I wish! Maybe someday. This video is gonna have a long SEO tail. Hopefully Lasko sells this exact fan for 20 more years. 🙋

[@panedrop]

The worst part about Seattle is that swamp-cooling doesn't work there due to the high relative humidity. I use a twenty-inch box fan to vent air and a Windcurve to help bring in more fresh air from a window that currently has two large frozen bottles of water sitting in a hotel pan of tap water. Barely helps. I dream of the day I have 135USD to blow on a shitty little window air conditioner.

[@OneCheapEric]

+panedrop Seattle-bros. I hear that man. I want one of those R2D2 looking ACs that you drape the hose out the window, but can't rationalize it. Talk to me again in late August though :)

[@JessicaLZ]

Dude. The window AC units are boss. I haven’t had as good of an experience with portable AC units. They are a pain to clean and move around, and don’t make the room as cool for how bog they are.

[@gregbrandhorst3725]

what do you need that for when you got me? im your biggest fan, okay maybe the fattest....

[@OneCheapEric]

Greg Brandhorst Haha! I gotta get my fitness on too.

[@NiloSantaAgueda]

I accidentally drop my 20" Lasso fan and one of the blade/leaf was/?broken. Where can I buy a replacement for the fan blades?

[@OneCheapEric]

@@NiloSantaAgueda I did the same thing. I couldn't find one online that was cheaper than buying a new fan. It's the way of the world. If you can source it, you do have the option to take a blade off an old broken (not the blade) fan.

[@rickclink9196]

Check out the expensive lasko window fans! Metal blade.

[@vince7735]

Very entertaining. Well done!

[@cryo_life]

I use it as a kitchen exhaust fan. The problem is that it doesn't have shutters

[@OneCheapEric]

Shutters for directing air?

[@dougprentice1363]

Why can't you use air conditioning? Power grid can't keep up?

[@xjeepguy1]

Ok , you Lasko fan peeps . Do you situate your fans in the window to pull cool air into your house OR , do you set it to push the warm/hot air OUT of your house ?? I want to hear some input . I've tried both but want to hear your experiences.

[@OneCheapEric]

If you have a house I say one pushing air in and one pushing air out is the way to go. Opposite sides of the house. You're in breeze city.

[@KingdomUploader]

Hi; as a window mounted fan, would it pull air from an opposing window that is 30 feet away? I'm thinking no. Thanks

[@OneCheapEric]

It's pretty strong. I think it'd get some cross breeze going. I just stood 15 feet away with it on full blast and could feel it. I can't test 30 feet unfortunately, my apartment is too small. Best of luck in your search for the perfect vortex.

[@ahuruglica]

If you pull out air from one window with this fan and you have another window open, even if it’s in another room, it will pull air in. Because the pulling out air will create lower pressure in your house, air has to be pulled in from somewhere else.

[@l_tonz]

@@ahuruglica it depends on the temperature outside

[@logans3365]

Just get 3 of them, put air filters on 2 of them and set them to take in air, then put the 3rd of the other side of the house blowing air outside. Who needs AC when you have a cool summers breeze, and dust free at that.

[@OneCheapEric]

That's the most uplifting news I've heard in weeks.

[@logans3365]

@OneCheapEric I’m actually dealing a housing that holds a lasko fan, 2 20x20x4 merv 13 filters, and a thin washable pre filter to extend the life of the more expensive merv 13s, it should provide lots of airflow while also forking the air to a near HEPA level. You definitely wouldn’t have to worry about smog or pollen.

[@hotboy1937398]

Maybe you should try a real lasko box fan from the 70s or 80s.

[@OneCheapEric]

Hey Hot Boye! Sorry I don't have one of those.

[@tealamccullough330]

🤣🤣🤣i was trying to learn how to clean a fan 🤣🤣 wrong video 🤣

[@OneCheapEric]

🤣

[@jb5_bluestone]

If shipping to germany do i have to worry 'bout an power adapter?

[@OneCheapEric]

Crystone I think so. This fan runs off a 120 volts at 60 Hz. Doesn't Germany do something like 220 volts at 50 Hz. I'm just guessing though. Lasko customer support would know for sure: 800-233-0268.

[@JessicaLZ]

Go buy a Ventilator at the electronics store in town. You won’t need to worry about buying a transformer or adapter if you buy a German fan to use in Germany.

[@jb5_bluestone]

@@JessicaLZ i know, but we don't have these type of fans sadly..

[@arcticarrowhvacr]

no! it's a pos! these last like 3 yrs and vintage is better and last like 70 plus yrs

[@OneCheapEric]

+Vann Berg I disagree a surprising amount Vann. I love this fan as if it was my only child.

[@pranjal86able]

very good funny always in style good boy and job

[@noahbones1221]

vintage and antique fans are much better

[@OneCheapEric]

+NoahBones 12 Noah my dude. Welcome my fan brother. What type of fan do you own dudeman? I've had antique fans in the past and they we're very inefficient given the heavy parts. Could see the meter spinning. You have better luck my dude?

[@noahbones1221]

CheapAssReviews Well, Mostly i have a ceiling fan collection. I have a 2009 Galaxy Bix fan surprisingly running to this day fine. but my much better get was a 1990s Lasco Box Fan, Older cabinet and badge etc. $2 at habitat. i do want to get a lasco new box fan to try it out, and if it dies, roof food. i also have a couple antique/vintage desk fans, including a Zero, Super Electric, GE, Robbins and myers, etc.

[@noahbones1221]

CheapAssReviews if you have them spinning to slowly, more then likely the bearings need oiled. you have to use a light non-detergent oil, preferably Zoom Spount. its on amazon.

[@OneCheapEric]

Very helpful advice noah my dude. If this Lasko box fan every wears out I'll go on the prowl for 2009 Galaxy Bix fan as you suggested. Happy Thursday manchop.

[@noahbones1221]

CheapAssReviews if anything look for anything vintage, older then 2002. They are still much better then the galaxy. the galaxy is okay, but any older fan, much better.

[@annberryn2224]

The price is these have gone up significantly.

[@OneCheapEric]

You gotta hit up Wally World. Mrs. Cheapassreviews just got one for $17.88. Savings blew me away.

[@annberryn2224]

I tried you Amazon affiliate link and the knock off is $31! Outrage!!!!!!!!

[@ahuruglica]

Some things on amazon are more expensive, get if from walmart.

[@jakejayjay283]

I have a purple version

[@QuantumBlaze76]

ur number 1 fan ;)

[@OneCheapEric]

Big fan of puns :D

[@sethhorst6158]

But an old Lakewood box fan from the 1980's or 1990's would be better, I see some that comes with the original box go for $50 minimum and $130 max.

[@OneCheapEric]

Those sound cool😎

[@theericfreeze1493]

They have more metal

[@brettduffy1992]

You could probably get a window unit for like a hundred and fifty bucks

[@OneCheapEric]

Yaaasssss!

[@beamishlotus7269]

Is basically a Cyclone fan

[@OneCheapEric]

Lasko a fan of Cyclone? Now that's high drama!

[@beamishlotus7269]

CheapAssReviews I mean that a lasko box fan is definitely the same as a Lasko cyclone pedestal fan, just from the fan blades

[@OneCheapEric]

@@beamishlotus7269 oh good to know! I actually had a smaller fan fall on the fan. It broke it. So now I'm without my fan.

[@technologyproductions-ye3px]

vintage fans last longer
