They didn't say it was high velocity.
It runs pretty faster than the others or maybe cause it's new. But I also know high velocity when I hear it and I have the black one like this, and it's a tad bit powerful than the normal speed of a typical box unit. But the LE runs like the wind machine does, and that's a high velocity fan. This is great

Damaged
Huge dent because there is absolutely zero protection for the fan and they ship it in its original box.. if it was small I'd probably just keep it bc it's not like it's a good looking fan anyway but the entire fan is dented in and the fan blades hit the sides. This is how I received it. Doesn't come with return labels so you have to print one yourself and then go through the process of getting it mailed back.

    Walmart needs to do better if they want to compete
    My original order consisted of two of these fans. One arrived in good condition and the second appeared to have been tossed around by a gorilla and arrived dented, broken and damaged. Walmart should never have allowed it to be sipped in the condition it was received in. It makes them appear to not care in the least as to how they are viewed by their customers. While thy immediately sent out a replacement, the original will now have to be taken to a Fedex location to be returned.

    Blue box fan.
    Beautiful colors… love the fan but come in no padding. Just cardboard box. And legs broke off, screens busted. So rating is 3/5 due to if it was packaged better it wouldn't be tore up on arrival.

    I've had one of these for years in bedroom. Ordered one for son and it arrived damaged. We use them for white noise for sleeping, so if you are going to use it in living area this fan would probably be too noisy.

    Horrible condition
    Absolutely horrible I ordered 2 of these and both were bad. They appear to have rust spots on them not sure if these all were just A bad batch or what. Also 2 legs are plastic and 2 are metal the metal legs are super thin causing the fan to shake and not be stable. I also noticed the frame is bent and dented at random maybe this also has something to do with why it wont stand stable. Disappointed... where's quality control?

    Totally NEGATIVE
    At first I was impressed by this fan because it's 3 settings were just about perfect for my needs. On a hot summer night, it cooled an entire 12'x10' room fairly well. But then issues began to arise. The force of the fan kept causing it to fall over no matter where I placed it. I seriously believe the old adage "You get what you pay for!" Thought it was strange that this fan was so cheap, but didn't realize just how cheaply made it was and is so if you are considering buying this particular brand of fan, make a sure and confident PASS when the offer arises. I was only able to use it (with the "feet" installed correctly) before it began to fall over and eventually it fell over and the blades shattered, tiny pieces of them flying about inside the fan's casing (also plastic and extremely breakable) and causing the fan to become so unstable in it's operation that it is useless. I'll see if I can return it, since I didn't purchase it that long ago but if not I definitely will NOT be buying this brand of fan again !!!

    Lasko fans are not made like they use to be. The fan is ok and works and all but it wobbles with the feet in place. Just over all it is cheaply made. I bought a box fan from Dollar General a year before I bought this one and it is alot better not as cheaply made. but they work and do what I need them to do. I just wanted a back up incase the one I had burns out as I use it on low during the day to help keep cool because I leave my AC on 78° to help save on my electric bill and at night I use it on high to sleep because I have since a kid slept with a box fan blowing on me.

    Not satisfied
    this fan's frame was bent and grate had a broken piece on the corner of it. Because it was bent, the grate did not fit flush to the frame. The screws were also loose. I decided to keep it anyway because it is so hot here and I didn't want to wait another 2 weeks for another one to be sent. Hopefully it will work ok or I will be sending it back

    Great
    The color is just like the picture with no chips or scratches. All 3 settings are powerful and will make a great "white noise" sound when I sleep. It also comes with little white plastic feet so it wont fall backwards when on the more powerful settings

    I do NOT recommend!
    It's so flimsy! One blade broke within 10 minutes of turning it on. Now it's off balance and won't stand up. I should've spent a little more money on a better one

    Worked ok until it tipped over
    Worked great for a month until it tipped over and tore itself apart. 2 of the blades broke off. Unless you are only keeping this in a window I would AVOID this. Very disappointed.

    Cute BUT scary issue.
    Adorable little fan at a great price. Worked great UNTIL, it was gently grazed into when I walked by it. It fell over and one of the blades broke off. I immediately turned off the fan and checked to see what that weird sound was and we'll pictures are attached as to what I found. Very upset as my three year was standing near by when the blade broke off. I'm just glad that it didn't brake through the plastic and hurt either one of us.

    Awful shipping and broken fan!
    One of the fans I received had a broken front panel and the blades hit the facing when u turned it in! So after I took it apart and pushed the facing back outwards I put 5 of the 6 screws back in and turned it on to still have it rattling! Wont purchase anything else like this from walmart

    VIBRANT BLUE, STRONG, TAD LOUD
    Just received it today. I love Lasko fans. Love the electric blue. Never knew they had colors. It seemed more vibrant than purple based on photos. I still prefer blue. It's like Dodger blue (LA resident lol - just an example). Pricing is reasonable too for this quality ($19.99) vs $40 by other sellers! SIZE: It's quite large for my small bedroom though - spanning close to the width of my TV/drawer. I mainly got this thinking it would be at least 1/2 the actual size (I didn't read specs obviously duhh) to mount it right by my window (location where less breeze comes through). Luckily I have a wooden drawer to put it up on. This would for sure have covered the entire half of my bedroom window. Make sure you measure and read specs before purchasing! LOUDNESS: This fan is a bit louder than I wanted even for lowest speed. But it sounds like a strong fan. Breeze is not obnoxious. More like a gentle current of fresh air. Hopefully this will last. Weather has not been too crazy hot yet for me to test out its usefulness in humidity. Doesn't seem to rattle when on high which is good. Strong fan :) POWER: Has 1 knob at top to turn from off to speed 1-3-off again. So once it's plugged in, just turn the dial for speed you want. Pretty idiot friendly. I've kept it on 1st speed and it makes my room feel fresh during the daytime. It is manual controlled so location choice is important. PORTABILITY: Has top handle to carry around. I didn't need the leg stand that came w/ it. I am thinking of keeping, but will try it out some more to test for quality assurance. Still, at $20 for a beautiful bold colored fan that works as expected - I highly recommend it. Quality is excellent for this price point. Looks stylish too for someone like me who is very visual and love an aesthetically pleasing home environment to hang out in. Luckily the item was delivered w/ proper care and not tossed over my porch wall. Arrived w/in 2-3 days in intact condition. 5 star!

    Great fan for air fort
    We bought this fan to use with an air fort kit we got for Christmas. It is perfect for the air fort and so fun! Great price and works very well to move air.
