Hows is this fan vs the Lasko #2554 42-Inch Wind Curve Fan with Remote ?

Not sure I can answer the comparison question. The fan we have is really nice. Love the remote. Have taken it with me to college and it is just perfect.

I trust Lasko. This fan is at my wife's office so I don't have first hand feedback. I had a 42 inch Lasko before and it was a workhorse. Ion feature is good plus having a remote is convenient. Lasko means tower fan in some foreign language.

My answer is identical to the others listed. Also my electrician who installed it in the living room judged it to be a very good fan..sorry I cannot the rest of the praise he had for it.

No, you can not install a remote to operate this low profile fan. I was hoping to do the same but my brother (who is an electrician) informed me it was not possible. Sorry! I have NOT however, been at all disappointed with this fan. It's totally quiet when operating and I have no issues with being able to pull the cord to set the speed of the blades, depending on how quickly I want to cool down the room.

Don't own the fan (sent it back-no remote). Any fan will work as long as you buy a long enough down rod so the blades don't hit the ceiling.

This fan is actually quite powerful compared to most 16" fans. It is a bit noisy. I like that as I need white noise. I have it in a bedroom about 16'x16' and I keep it on the lowest setting, which is enugh even n a hot humid night. So I would think it would handle a 20'x20' or even a bit bigger easily. If you decide to get this, it's a tad tricky to set up. I very carefully made sure the mounting bracket that screws into the wall was level and plumb. All for naught. When I slid the fan over the bracket and leveled it, the hole in the fan base didn't line up with the hole in the mount bracket to secure the fan. Since I had it about as close to the ceiling as I could get it, I was unable to get my head above it to look down to line up the holes. So I got a small mirror and a small flashlight to help me see to line up the holes. This meant that the fan is slightly askew, not enough to notice. This fan was also the only one that had a remote that I keep by the side of the bed. This way if I want to turn it off in the middle of the night, I don't have to get up and manually do so. Compared to what's out there for a residential wall mount fan this looked like the best. I'm actually thinking about getting another one. Hope this helps. Boudica

I really do not know about the remote control. I did not get one with my fans. I can tell you they are by far the best fans I have ever purchased. They also look very attractive in my rooms. I actually took down a Hunter fan, and installed a 52" Westinghouse. I do know you can purchase remote controls for any ceiling fan for about $30.00. Good Luck!!!!

I think you are right that there is not a remote. I ordered 2 fans and the larger one-52"- did have a remote. We didn't want it and had adimmer installed to control the speed.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the question. This fan does not come with a remote. It comes with a standard, 3 speed pull chain, and has a reverse capability. Unfortunately, no other control options are available for this fan. We hope this answers your question. If you need anything else, please reach out to one of our experts. They're literally sitting right next to their phones right now, and they know everything :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Our fan was put in a two story foyer so I actually rented scaffolding and had an electrician install the fan and wire. I don't think that there was any problem for the electrician and the size of the remote and reciver are not an issue. He installed the fan so a light could be added and controlled later. Frankly, I would recommend an electrician install for you unless you are a pretty good 'wire twister'. We love the fan...very quiet. We run it constantly and it is on a 5 foot drop pole...no movement ...no noise. definitely pleased with the fan!

Hi there. I assume you are talking about the device that is inside the fan itself. With my fan, the Concept II, there were two different remotes available for fans that looked identical on the outside. I had to call the company and clarify which was the correct version for my specific fan. My advice would be to call Minka directly at 1(800) 221-7977 and talk with them about what you need. Once you have the right part number, you can come back to Amazon to order it.

YES.... just an f.y.i. the 1st one i got, the remote would only work about 6-7 feet away and the fan started rattling. however, i did call the seller and made arrangements to exchange it for a new one. the seller sent me the new one, i put the old one in the new box and sent it back at no charge. and.... the new fan is great, the remote works anywhere in the room and no rattles... so very happy with it now.

Mystic-Buddha...This fan is whisper quiet and if it is noise you want, then get the portable double directional fans. One set of fan blades blows inward and the other blows outward they tend to be noisy.It's either that or turn the stereo/TV volume higher.The Lasko Oscillating fan is surprisingly quiet.Good Luck.

This fan is three speed. I wrote to Lasko and here is what they said: CFM- 3160/LOW 3320/MED 3460/HIGH Just to reiterate what I and a lot of other reviewers have said: This fan puts out a ton of air and is pretty loud, especially on high. Construction is very solid. If you want to move a lot of air and you are okay with the noise it's hard to see how you could do much better.

I bought the 54018 and it's been a perfect fan. I can't see the difference between those two models, either. Also I saw that Hunter doesn't sell the 23688 any longer.

I have the Hunter Cortland fan and it is wired so that one wall switch turns on the lights and the other wall switch turns on the fan. We didnot get a remote for the fan because the installer said the remotes are more of a problem then anything. We have had the fan up for a year and a half now and it works perfectly. No noise on low speed, which is all we use. Hope this is helpful to you.

My fan is Hampton Bay and it works just fine. The trick is to set the code on the remote to match the code in the fan. Good luck!
