I do have bigger utility Lasko fans, the pro version and the max version, so I can compare them. This is a very light weight fan compared to my other 2 Lasko fans, and uses 100 watts. I consider this a personal fan, I point it directly at me, and works great to cool me down.

I use this in bathroom to air dry my clothes after washing machine. I use this device on porch on hot day. I use this device in many other ways. It is super easy to move from room to room. I do have 2 other lasko utility fans if the temps go over 100 degrees to get stronger wind sensations.

I also use it at night when in bed, for the white noise, and for blowing on my face, puts me to sleep pretty fast.

First time ever seen this ,at big bass pro shop or some place like that?! it was a hot day, was looking for something else and while I was walking through the store that was predominantly pretty cool how we get through so cool spots when going really fast and everything out and I was stepping outside from 98° weather outside so anything past 90 on down was like ice you know what I mean. So I looked down and there was a Lasko black beautiful and they're made for blowing directional air like on the ground or anything else they're fantastic ,if you're doing floors or whatever and you want something to call really fast well I bought one,,,

I have the first version of this fan, the yellow one (actually my first Amazon purchase back in 2011 when they used to use giant boxes to ship ridiculous small items) and it still works like a champ (I have to put a dumble on top and if it rattles I give it a soft kick and it goes again into silent operation).

This one is smaller than the yellow OG but it still manages to output the same if not a bit more airflow which is impressive! It is lighter and the black color goes well with my decor so win. I use them both for comfort and they work really good. I would recommend and only buy Lasko fans forever.

Originally written on the bigger model by me:

The Following applies to both models:

This fan and the smaller one are both BEASTS!!
- For my use, I had to have something to push air through a door way. (both doorways)
my area is in an attic, I have a window at the front of house/apt in attic, and a smaller window in the back of the house/apt at the top of the stairs coming up(in hall-space)
-
- Because it gets blazing hot up here, like I'm being cooked, especially with electronics running etc, I have hooked up a decent size Air Conditioner to the FRONT of house window, and in the back HALL/Space where that window I hooked a portable AC up to that, you know one of those ones with the Tube and window Panel, The window is above the top 4-5 steps so it's basically/pretty much impossible to put a window AC in there + the window is smaller.
- Additionally, The attic has the back hall/space, and 2 rooms, in-between the Rooms is a wall + Doorway to get through.
-
SOOOO, long story shorter, I use this larger model LASKO BLOWER FAN to push AC air from the front window/room into the middle room(middle room has no window or AC)- and the smaller model LASKO BLOWER FAN, in the back hall/Space to blow AC air into the middle room. It's like a quiet wind tunnel of air conditioned / cool air - hahaha... so the cool air blows into the middle room basically, that's where my setup is and needed cooler / air condition air.
-- I've needed this for so long, these fans solved my problem in this place along with deciding to run both AC's. The Fan's were pretty much the final product or META / END GAME to having cool air in the attic through out the living space up here.
-
- Side notes:
- I have the back hall way one on a table on top of a tote/container.. The Portable AC FINS(?) are aimed at the area where the LASKO BLOWER FAN is, so directly blowing this way into this room. I Recommend placing them the best you can, pick a spot that works for you and aim it how you want for best effect/use.
-
- The one in the main room(front) is on another container, 'bit lower aimed into this room through the middle room-doorway.
-
I'm very happy with both models!!
-
GOOD LUCK CHOOSING YOURS!!
BOTH WORK EXTREMELY WELL!!

I use this mostly as a fan for my indoor cycling setup when doing Zwift. It is so much more powerful that your standard fan that just moves air around. I still sweat profusely but this fan makes the time spend on the trainer much more enjoyable. I have also used when painting and again it excels at blowing air when/where you want it.
