Client Reviews

SUMMARY: 5/5 stars - glad I bought it, would enthusiastically recommend it to pals, and would not hesitate to invest in a single once more
-----
This Lasko model 2155A window fan - also sold as the Air King model 9155 - is a actual blessing for me. I reside in the deep South (Georgia) where the oppressive summer heat index (high heat + near-100%-humidity) usually reaches into the 130s and above - and I don't have air conditioning. For me, a big entire-residence window fan like this a single makes all the difference between comfort and living hell when July and August roll about (it is July 27th as I write this, and I'm sitting correct subsequent to the window with the fan in it).
This is really a Complete-Home window fan, and it expenses so considerably much less to operate than an air conditioner. Compared with central A/C, I'm saving more than a hundred dollars a month, which is over $600 a year Each and every YEAR. That is cash superior spent elsewhere! With this high-volume fan, I get my complete house cooled, with no the $150+ monthly electricity usage of central A/C. This fan paid for itself in the initial month.
Also, I've located that as I've gotten applied to not having A/C, I appreciate the summers extra and I'm not practically as lethargic and short-tempered when I'm in a place without the need of air conditioning, anyplace from the supermarket parking lot to a cookout. It all tends to make me wonder, WHY would I spend $150+ per month and finish up so dependent on air conditioning that I can not be happy enjoying the outstanding outdoors in the summer?! It really is all a question of what your physique gets acclimated to.
For the hottest summer nights, you can run a tiny window A/C unit in your bedroom, and still save a bundle because you can use this fan for the rest of the residence as an alternative of getting to pay the skyrocketing electrical price of central A/C.
PROS:
Cost-efficient to operate - this fan moves 2470 CFM (cubic feet of air per minute) on only 90 watts - compare that with the larger 20" model (Air King model 9166) which moves 3560 CFM on 170 watts - an 89% power enhance for just a 44% airflow improve...tends to make sense to just invest in two of these 16" Lasko 2155A/Air King 9155 units rather...you get twice the airflow, not 44% extra - and you get it for only ten watts significantly more
Moves a LOT of air - far more than a 20" box fan, a lot more than something sold at Wal-Mart, Target, House Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, Accurate Value, the drugstore, or anyplace else I looked
Fused three-prong grounded security plug
Versatile installation selections
3 speeds as an alternative of two or just on/off
Electrically reversible for intake and exhaust - a large plus, due to the fact I want to be able to exhaust hot air in the course of the day and then reverse it to bring in cool air at night...without having having to de-install it and manually flip the entire unit around like you do with some other' brands fans (AHEM!)
Quieter compared to the old metal-bladed fans from years past, which sounded like airplane propellers
Produced in the USA by our buddies and neighbors and fellow countrymen, not in some Chinese sweatshop
NEUTRALS:
Construction feels a bit flimsy...every thing is plastic, except the interior side's safety grille - BUT, this is basically irrelevant, given that following it is in the window, it just sits there, and plastic does just as decent a job of sitting in a window as metal. And, on the vibrant side, it is far more lightweight than a metal fan would be, creating it less complicated to install and to retailer in the attic or basement at the end of the season
Do not count on it to be silent on the highest speed, there is some wind noise...but that's not the fault of the fan, and there is nothing any person can do about it...moving big volumes of air at a high rate of speed DOES entail noise, no matter what, so you can't fault the fan or the manufacturer for that
Pricey - for almost-all-plastic construction, and only a 50% (maximum) airflow improvement more than an $18 Wal-Mart box fan, I felt that the cost of $50-$100 was a bit high...would rather see it about $35-$40 - BUT, in the finish, it DOES move additional air than the $18 box fan, and has some features that make it worth the cost (electrically reversible intake/exhaust, less noise, expanding side panels to give it a excellent fit with any size window, fused security plug, Storm Guard feature, etc.) - and offered that there's basically no competition in the field any much more due to the prevalence of air conditioning, I can not anticipate pricing to be at super-low very-competitive rates
CONS:
Switch knob kept popping off...had to tighten up the screws beneath it and then put a dab of Krazy Glue on it (but that solved it)
Not broadly attainable in stores - considering that air conditioners' rates have come down so significantly in the last 15-20 years, the demand for genuine whole-home window fans has gone way down, which means that this fan is generally a particular-order or on the web-only item, either of which commonly entail waiting occasions and shipping expenses (though your local Grainger branch could have one of the ones relabeled Air King in stock)
-----
All in all, I am getting certainly unfairly picky right here, and I feel this is a fabulous item that I sincerely hope doesn't get discontinued. It really is the appropriate unit for the job, it looks great, and it does a far better (and quieter) job that the all-metal models from years past. It really is also really power-efficient. Of what's attainable on the industry in 2009, it is the most effective of the very best, hands down, absolutely nothing else even comes close. I have ZERO "buyer's remorse" about this acquire, and would champion its virtues to anybody contemplating buying 1. A excellent product!

We live in Michigan where for all but a week or two in the summer, even when the days are hot, nights are cool. We did not want to start off tearing out the plaster ceiling of our ca1925 house to place in a entire residence fan so when our 30+ year old window fan died, we necessary some thing that would essentially move air.
This fan does move a lot of air but it's not excellent. Just practically.
Pros:
- Moves a ton of air
- Switch amongst intake and exhaust just by turning the dial
- Power usage is good - rated 61 watts on the low speed, 90 watts on the high.
- It's light (see cons)
- Created in the USA
Cons:
- It really is made of fairly flimsy plastic. When we take this out of the window, unless it is laid flat, when it really is place back in the window, a clicking noise will occur for awhile. The plastic is definitely flexing when it is propped up with no becoming supported on both sides by the window. At times, if you do not position it just right, the plastic side panels will vibrate. The knob feels seriously low-cost and I'm consistently afraid it will just break off a single day.
- Mainly because of the style, you will not really feel a entire lot of air flow if you stand straight in front of the fan. It kicks air out extra about the perimeter. Even though turning the fan on creates a significant suction from windows in other parts of the residence (when it's in exhaust mode), I get slightly let down each and every time I'm hot and sticky and turn it on (to intake mode) given that there is no instant cool down like other fans.
- It really is not silent. We can sleep with it on low but it is perfect at that point exactly where the motor noise is sometimes in my dreams. On high, it's noisy if you're in the same space, but it really is not the brain numbing, teeth rattling loud via the whole home our window unit A/C has.
- I wish the 6 ft power cord had been just a couple of feet longer. Mainly because the cord hangs down from the knob in the middle, the "realistic distance" is beneath 5ft extended.
- Unlike the 9166, the motor isn't completely enclosed. We've had this for a small beneath a year and it really is got pretty a bit of dust caked on it. If I take the thing apart to clean it, I danger damaging it, but I know a heavy buildup of dust isn't carrying out it any favors.
Until the 20" Air King with the closed motor and metal fan blades is produced with a variable speed motor (if firms could do it decades ago, they unquestionably really should now, especially at the value the Air King goes for) I will live happily with this a single.
