This fan is so high powered, it will dwarf your fan. It does cool your body off during hot spells.

This is a high flow volume fan. I am using it in a warehouse setting. It is not an air conditioner and not recomended for a small spaces.

You are probably talking about a standard Box fan, I have 2 of them myself. It's sort of like the difference between a lawnmower and a car. The standard box fan is very small and weak compared to this fan. This fan is huge, the type of fan you'd see in a warehouse, and it's massively more powerful than a box fan. It moves huge volumes of air, but be warned, it's very loud.

This is nothing like a $20 fan. This is an industrial fan that moves A LOT of air.

It's quite powerful, but I've found it to be too loud for my tastes. I bought it to use on our back porch in hot Houston. It does the job cooling us of, but if you want to have someone sit with you and have a conversation, you'll be shouting at each other. If all you want is the air, it's fine.

sorta like air conditioning it beats your fan all way round but i see it helps run my bill up because it is a big fan

Is only a very powerful fan moves a lot of air, very noisy. if u are looking for a A/C like..... I recommend the ones with water running in front of the fan, feels a lot like A/C

Absolutely it can. I've had this fan for a couple of months now and it works outstanding to cool off a hot room. Granted, it's not going to cool a room off as quickly as blasting an air conditioner, but no fan could. For the price here, this is an outstanding fan. I've already purchased another one of these Lasko fans, and am planning on ordering two more soon, for every room in my home. So that should tell you something. ;-) Enjoy!

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) )

I don't know to what $60 model you refer? If it is those computer fans, they make way too much noise for a bedroom, and don't move that much air. I returned the one I tried. This is a squirrel cage, and relatively quiet. I like it.

This fan is three speed. I wrote to Lasko and here is what they said:CFM- 3160/LOW 3320/MED 3460/HIGHJust 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 have had the unit about a week and my fan does not appear that bad. I hear the fan in my server slightly more. So far, for the price I think it is a good value. It replaced a San Digital that's power supply blew after 18-24 months.

From what I understand, the Air King dept. uses better components. Bought both Lasko and Air King fans--both are good but the AK is better built.

Can't offer a comparison to other fans, but there must be quieter ones out there because this one does make a lot of noise. You can clearly hear it from both inside the house and outside. It is significantly louder than the 20 yr. old fan it replaced, but I have a feeling it also has a higher rated capacity, because it does seem to move a lot of air. The only encouragement I can offer is that if you set the thermostat high enough, you could get it to turn itself off in the evening. Don't know what temp. that might be in your area: mine is set at about 105. Good luck.

Not bad at all. It uses a larger, slower fan to move the air (can kind of see the cut-outs for it on the right side of the unit in the picture). We use it in the garage to drive a noisy high-speed spindle, though, so noise hasn't been a concern for us.

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.

It sounds like a normal fan. It's not extremely loud, but it does make noise. It works extremely well. I have a one bedroom as well and I love it.

I returned that fan as soon as I got it. It wasn't what I expected at all. Sorry, I know nothing about the switch. It was a long time ago, but if I recall, it was most likely an electronic switch. It was not the best quality fan, somewhat bigger and not very powerful, if I am remembering correctly.

For an air conditioner it is ok. All make some noise. Some people are bothered by the noise and others don't mind. It is a quality air conditioner.

This is a great fan! I bought it at the start of last summer. Also for use in my bedroom. It puts out an amazing amount of air, so you can have it run all night on low speed (there are 3 speeds). While on low, it's pretty quiet. On high, it's more noisy, but it doesn't rattle or vibrate. It's an acceptable level of white noise. However, I doubt you would need to have it on high.

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.

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.

That is a hard question to answer unless you are more specific. Then, someone that has had both fans may be able to give you a side by side comparison of the 2 fans.
