Is this fan worth the extra money? I need a desk fan that is really strong and really quiet. This fan looks like it could be good, but it's 4 times the price of other similar sized desk fans. Is it really worth an extra $60?

Well Worth it. This is not actually made by Rowenta. They order this from a Chinese company called Airmate which makes THE best electric fans in the industry. The materials use on their products are higher quality than you're traditional "Made In China" fan. The motors of these Airmate fans (regardless of the brand they are sold) are always larger than Airmate's second largest competitor (Midea).

I would highly recommend the tower fan fora small office. It moves allot of air very quietly and without taking up allot of space. I have two now for our apartment and they have made a world of difference with keeping the air flow moving!

I still have my old one (7 years old) and it's still working great. Just ordered another for backup or another room. First one, only paid $9 for it. I try too keep the blades oiled or silicone sprayed, but there are no maintenance instructions that came with it (original) and even now I don't feel it getting hot. Best fan I've ever purchased.

Hi Dianna, thanks for the question. It's a good one. This fan has been designed and built to withstand outdoor elements. Most fans are meant for indoor use, and therefore are not built with the Oil-Bath Lubrication System, weather-resistant blades, stainless steel hardware, indestructible cast-iron housing, and the Hunter Original Motor-the most powerful motor available. All of this is factored into not only the value of the fan, but the pricing as well. We hope this helps Dianna. Please, if you have any other questions, reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Cannot answer about any comparison, but I like this fan. I bought it mostly for my tent but indoor plug-in use is a bonus and that was part of my purchase decision. I don't remember what I paid....almost 2 yrs. ago.

They're on the louder side. I have mine next to my desk and it hardly bothers me, but if you want something very quiet, you'll want to get different fans.

It is just an electric fan, like electric fans that have been in use for several decades. It circulates air by sucking it in the back and blowing it out the front. The thing I find appealing about this particular design is that it puts out more air flow than fans twice its size. This makes it easy to position it where it has the best effect. I have three and I'm thinking about buying a forth one. I also have one of the small ones that you can put right next to you on your desk or nightstand. I use fans a lot. I am a long-term conservationist and I avoid using the air conditioner unless the temperature gets above 95F because they use up a tremendous amount of electricity.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!

i bought two honeywell tower fans as it had the thermostat and other features, but i just realized that the air from the lasso fan is cooler so i am buying another Lasko wind curve for better air quality ( plus it seems that the the lasso fan is more powerful... i can feel the air from the lasso while it was placed farther than the honeywell.. yes i did this test ;0) )

Hi Christopher, I rarely write a review for any product but felt compelled to write one for this particular fan. I installed it in my master bedroom and while I love the look of the fan...........I cannot recommend this fan for function. My fan is mounted directly over my bed and at full speed I really can't feel much air flow. At lower speeds it make enough clicking and other noises it will keep me awake. When I am finished with my current home remodels I will be replacing this fan ASAP. Sorry for the bad report.

Fan noise if not loud. Speed is not adjustable. Haven't had it sitting on a desk, so don't know about vibration. Airspeed is disappointingly low. Not a product I recommend. Incidentally, the air comes out a narrow opening at the top. The picture of the circular fan on the website is the intake fan. So, if it were sitting on a desk, loose papers might get attracted to the intake fan.

I just put the fan on, maximum. The noise is not loud at all. U can barely notice it. I bought around 2 other fans at the same time this is by far the best fan. It looks better than picture does it justice and its not noisy at all.

Like any fan you can hear it, but truly it is the most quiet fan ive ever used, i love it, i dont like alot of noise from fans ,but this is so relaxing, i feel you will love it. I hope this helps.

First, this is the best fan I've ever installed. As far as the cable length? Well, I'm not sure exactly since I've installed it some time ago. However, I have a very large desktop case, installed two of these fans without any worrys of cable length. Sorry I couldn't help more.

The fan is definitely not loud and is actually pretty quiet, but always runs. I have this in the bedroom behind the TV and definitely put it into sleep before bed because you can hear the fan. It would not bother me when awake even if on the desk next to me. The hard drive is amazingly quiet, possibly in part to the rubber grommet mounts.

I tried to get one and could not find where I could get one. If you find one let me know. These fans are worthless. I bought two and they both broke. Amazon would not replace them.

(after my first comment) I now see the 2500 cfm fan uses an "efficient PSC motor"...and costs $10+$12=$22 more, so it is a special motor giving it high efficiency.(apparently larger blades too) Wiki says : "PSC motors (permanent-split capacitor) are frequently used in air handlers, blowers, and fans (including ceiling fans) and other cases where variable speeds are desired." ...or for improved efficiency apparently. So I now say "it's the special motor"..... I also see the numbers are misleading, so read all the details.. the "1500" moves 1300cfm for a 1850sf attic, and says 3.4 amp, but also below says 2.6 amp! the one I bought. The "1600" actually is a 1600 cfm fan so it says, for a 2400sf attic at 4.5 amp, and seems to be 15"x15". The "2500" relates not to the cfm, but to the 2500sf attic! only 100 more than the "1600" model... with amps supposedly at 2.1, but listed as 21"x21". good luck.
