ماينفع

Pros:Fan is exactly what I ‘needed’ to use it for: bedtime cooling air & white noise, improving sleep qualityItem is exceptionally reasonably pricedIt effectively buffers ‘outside’ noise (when in room fan is located) thus provides conducive bedroom environment to sleep3 perfect speeds, not overpowering tornadic velocity, but effectively blowing out air serving purposeCons:It hums louder than an average desk oscillating fan - therefore Audio on TV or a radio ect would definitely need increase in volume to hear while fan in operation

No hace tanto ruido y funciona muy bien

I have for the last 30 years lived on a beach in Florida. Moist sea air plays havoc on your home if you live on the ocean and there are a lot of maintenance things you need to do. (I know, oh boohoo for me, hey everyone has problems). Every year I would buy at least two new Lasco box fans. I have literally been buying this brand and this exact model of fan for at least a decade. I have been able to see that over the years the fans have gotten smaller and thinner, what was once made out of metal is now made out of plastic, The price of the fans of course continues to rise, to a place where they are now more than double what I originally paid when I bought my first one. As a result of cutting corners in order to produce these fans, the quality has become quite poor. I need to circulate air throughout my home even when my central air conditioning is not running, in order to prevent the growth of mold due to the level of humidity in my home by virtue of living on the ocean. These fans were just simply no longer up to the task and I set out to find a new brand. Enters Genesis fans. I received my first genesis fan yesterday to replace a lasco. So, where do I begin? Let's start with aesthetics. This was frankly never a great point for me because the fans are more function rather than a fashion statement. However, that being said, the Lasco fans are quite ugly in appearance to be quite frank. They look like what you would imagine a fan built to sit in a hospital would look like, stark white plastic. Incidentally a white fan does not stay white forever. I found my Genesis fan to be a solid black with a greater eye towards design in terms of the front and back screening. They've chosen a pattern that is aesthetically pleasing. Even the blades of the two fans are different. The Genesis having more of an aerodynamic sleekness, that is seen in its appearance and in terms of (I believe) it's operation. Simply stated the Genesis is a much better looking fan for the same amount of money. Next in terms of functionality. I must say that the Genesis is highly superior. Whereas in the past I would utilize my Lasco fans at the highest setting, I am receiving the same or a greater airflow with the Genesis on the lowest setting. This, in and of itself, is the essence of a review of a box fan, It does a much better job at moving air. I do not find the fan to be louder than previous box fans I have owned. I however may not be the best unbiased judge in this regard as it is white noise which I find pleasant. Overall I would highly recommend this fan, it is reasonably priced (in this day and age) coming in at about a dollar less than the Lasco. I received next day free shipping. It arrives assembled out of the box and is packaged well. It's hot, it's summer, if you need a box fan, I would buy one of these.

First impressions, and will update later with any changes.Shipping box (manufacturer's original) is sufficient protection for city, semi-rural delivery. The fan is made of high impact plastic that appears to be high quality from an injection mold or maybe even 3D printed. That's a plus in my experience to reduce possibility of rust, corrosion, and produces less noise from metal vibration. The appearance is very contemporary and aesthetically attractive, with thought behind the construction - there are two 'pockets' in the back to store a wound cord and the feet swivel into place to support the fan while standing. The power knob on the front makes it easy to adjust if using in a window (facing in, pulling in outside air) with the sash or blinds pulled down to the top of the fan. The blades are shaped differently from my other box fans (those are rather like flower petals), which resemble the propeller on a plane. It's quieter than I thought it would be from other review comments, and the air output and movement is very, very good. The grill on back and front looks like it will be easy to clean with a smaller bottle brush. I live in an area that gets triple digit heat in the spring and summer, so if this has a lifespan of 2-3yrs like my other box fans I'll be incredibly pleased for the price paid. Props to the manufacturer and seller!

No complains. Keeps me cool while working out in d garage. If I need it higher, I just place the fan on a chair.
