PLATINUM Desktop Wind Tower - White

I've been intending to write a review ever since I first unpacked this wonderful fan and plugged it in! First of all, I love the feature where the top and bottom halves of the fan can oscillate in different directions if you choose that option. It's also very quiet, and puts out quite a bit of cool air within about 30". And it doesn't take up much space; I put in on my kitchen counter in front of a long, narrow window. I have been using it this summer early in the morning - 5am! - to bring some cool air into the kitchen which never cools down much during the night because the evaporative cooler doesn't reach the kitchen/dining rooms at the west end of the house. LOL! Also turning it on early evening after the sun sets. Lasko makes good products - I love their "wind tunnel" fans with the blue safety plugs that won't let the fan turn on if there is a problem I think either with the outlet or fan. I also have their wind tunnel pedestal floor fan sold here on Amazon which really puts out the air even on the lowest setting. I put it at the end of where the evaporative cooler reaches, and it pulls the cool air into the second half of the living room stopping at the kitchen! Need to write a separate review for it. Anyway, I hope it works forever! And that the company never discontinues it; I would certainly recommend it for a small space. And might purchase another one as a spare!!!!!

This is a perfect fan for the kids’ room. It has some serious torque because you can definitely feel the air circulating in both directions. We point one fan head towards each bed and it keeps the kids, and the room very comfortable all night. It has 3 speeds and the highest speed is definitely on the louder side - which works perfectly for us, because it’s almost like having a great noise machine in the room. We considered buying a separate sound machine, but read reviews for this and bought this one since many reviewers had mentioned the noise level. If you keep it on low, it’s much quieter. We’ve had the fan for a little over two weeks now and it’s perfect so far! We have a small guest room and will be purchasing one for that room as well because it takes up no floor space, but you don’t have to compromise on air circulation at all! Don’t think twice, get it!

I was a little nervous when I saw people complaining about the noise and power switch light, but those aren't anywhere near as bad as some of the reviews made it seem. Sure, the fan makes noise, but no more than a generic box fan or most any other fan you might purchase at the store. The air it blows is cool, and the swiveling top is really nice to help circulation. It keeps me nice and cool at my desk and has done wonders for cooling down my entire dormitory room. Admittedly, how far the air reaches is a little short, but it's a light-weight fan, so if I really need to move it, I can without trouble. It works just fine~

noise other than the actual fan does not bother you, this is a great fan to buy for small areas. I bought two of these fans for noise, specifically, so it does not bother me. The concept of having two levels so you can point air in two places is, in my opinion, genius. The air isn't a gusting wind of air, but for small spaces, bedrooms in my case, it works quite well. Now the bad. As I said, noise does not bother me, but both of these fans make noises that are not from air current alone. It is from the fan hardware. They are squeaky or clunky sounding when they oscillate. It did not take long for the fans to sound that way, either. They shouldn't sound that way after such a short period of time, within 3 months or so. One of the fans I have had for almost two years, though, and it is still going strong even though it is on all night and usually most of the day (my kid forgets to turn it off in the morning.) So, the durability seems strong even if the noise is strong as well.

I live in a "junior one bedroom" apartment which means that there is a 3-walled sleeping alcove, about 8 x 10 feet with my bed and a little bedroom furniture in it. The only window in my apartment is quite a distance away in the living room. So I've found, for the past 22 years, that I need some kind of fan running the bedroom to provide air circulation while sleeping. Otherwise it gets stuffy and warm in the alcove. I've run through quite a few fans in 22 years. This one is just what I need -- I have a small table and I need a smaller fan that will fit on the corner of the table. This desktop tower fan has a small enough footprint for that. Also, it's pretty quiet. I'm used to a certain amount of "white noise" from a fan -- it helps me sleep, in fact -- but a lot of fans I've tried are so noisy I can't get to sleep. I've been using this on the medium setting and in the small "bedroom" alcove, it's the right amount of air and just the right amount of white noise, fairly quiet, but enough to screen out background noises. If there's a heat wave, no doubt I'll switch it to the higher setting. I like the controls, two micro-touch buttons arranged in an almost triangular whole. The larger of the two buttons is the power/speed button. One push from "off" and it's on the high speed setting and one more push steps it down to medium, and a third push steps it down to the low fan setting. One more push turns it off again. The translucent button glows green from an underlying LED when the power is on. The smaller button turns the oscillation feature on and off -- again, when the oscillation is turned on, the button glows green. (I don't use the oscillation feature myself.) One other nifty feature is that the body of the fan is in two sections -- the top section can be swiveled manually so that the air flow is directed in two different directions for wider coverage. In other words, you can aim the lower part in one direction and aim the upper part in a different direction. Me, I have them both aimed in the same direction to get the air directed at my bed where I want it. It's not a fan suitable for providing air movement in a large space as others have observed, but in an office cubicle or in a small sleeping space such as mine, it's spot on. In smaller spaces like that, a larger and more powerful fan could be too loud and might provide too much blowing air for comfort. The one odd thing is that the "platinum" color (which is white, actually) costs a bit less than the charcoal grey/black model, even though the features are otherwise identical. (I went with the platinum since it cost less and either color was fine with me.)

This is a good product that looks good and has a neat rotary top that I have not seen before. I would say the price may be a little high for the power you get from it but it is a perfect fit for your work desk or home workspace. It measures 14 and a half inches high and has about a 6 and a half inch diameter. So it will fit in the smallest of spaces. Pros: -Tilting top for constant airflow in a specific direction -3 speeds & great oscillation -Optimal for small spaces on even the messiest workspace Cons: -Only covers an area of roughly 3-4 feet, even on highest setting -Can't be used from a long range -very low power I give this product three stars possibly because of the way I have it setup. It is setup to the left side of my laptop dock about 1 and a half feet away from me. It helps keep my laptop cool as well as myself. Again, if you need something powerful this is not your fan. Lastly, I ordered it with free shipping (5-8 business days) and received it in 2 business days, another testament to Amazon's great shipping!

Perfect for my desk at the office. The highest setting is a little noisy, but medium is good and low is very quiet. Note: The two sections don't oscillate separately. You have the ability to turn the upper fan so it isn't in line with the lower fan, which allows the whole unit to cover a larger are when the lower fan oscillates. It's nice!

This handy little fan lives on the back corner of my very small vanity in my very small and very airless bathroom. The adjustable fans mean that I can point air to the front of the sink *and* air directly to .... the other place where it's welcome, as well as the shower. The oscillation feature is a welcome addition, as is the choice of three speeds. It has a very small footprint, is compact and it works well. Other reviewers have said the fan makes a clicking noise, but I have not experienced that issue. The color is basically white or maybe off-white, not platinum. The price is great, it blows air where I point it and does what I bought it for. I recommend the fan.

Por su tamaño lo puedes transportar y colocar en cualquier espacio, lo que lo hace práctico. Además cuenta con una agarradera en la parte trasera superior, velocidades y movimiento, lo que lo convierte en un ventilador versátil.

I purchased 2. One of the suppliers had one in stock so I ordered the second from a different supplier. I mention this because of the shipping. If you order from JM PRIME it will come in it's original packaging placed in a box surrounded by bubble wrap. A Packing Slip is included thanking us for our purchase, offering a 5% discount on our next purchase within 30 days. If you purchase from biddeal Inc (name on the box's shipping label), it will arrive only in the product packaging - no extra tape. The box was in rough shape but thankfully the fan wasn't. Now to the product ...the fan fits perfectly on countertops; the 3-speed are just right; the top and bottom oscillate circulating and cooling the air and the best part - they are quiet. I wouldn't hesitate purchasing another or recommending it to those looking for small counter or desktop cooling fan.

Exclente funcionamiento y buen producto

Muy bueno, buena cantidad de aire, 3 velocidades y giratorio, para la potencia muy silencioso

El ventilador es estético, usa poco espacio y por el precio que costó cumple con la expectativa. En cuanto a potencia, para una persona esta excelente la cantidad de aire que genera. Finalmemte al ser blanco combina con el mobiliario moderno que tenemos en la oficina. No le pogo toda la calificación por que hace un poco más de ruido del lo que esperaba. No es muy ruidoso, sobre todo cuando hay mucha actividad en la oficina uno no se percata. Recomendado para una oficina o un estudio en casa donde se requiere refrescarse mientras se trabaja.
