I was hesitant to buy this because of the negative reviews posted under the white-colored version of this fan. I am so glad I didn't listen! I was concerned that it would be "cheap" and flimsy due to the all-plastic construction (the fan motor cover, blades, grill and bottom are plastic; the pole is metal). On the contrary, the all-plastic construction is one of the best features of this fan. The plastic is thick, smooth and all of the pieces fit snugly together seamlessly. It is unbelievably light-weight and I can easily move it around with one hand.

It must be put together, but the assembly could not be easier and requires no tools or elbow grease only about 60 seconds of your time. It comes in 5 pieces, plus 2 plastic "nuts" that hold it together. Some reviewers complained that the front grill was "tricky" to put on. If you take 10 seconds to read the instructions, it's a breeze. I think the issue is that you'd expect the front piece to "snap" into place. It does not really snap together, there are tabs on the back grill that simply rest inside the slots on the front grill, like puzzle pieces. Once in place, the grill is firmly secured, yet easily removable for cleaning.

It has a multi-angle fan head for whole-room circulation. To adjust the angle, you simply push or pull the fan head until it clicks into the desired position. Other fans that I've owned have a side knob or screw to adjust the angle that always seems to get stripped after awhile, and can be a pain to tighten.

Another nice feature is that it is very, very quiet. Full speed sounds like the pleasant hum of white noise, rather than a freight train. Other reviewers claimed that it was too noisy. If that's the case either 1) re-assemble it and make sure that the 2 pieces holding it together are tightened all-the-way & check that the grill is on correctly, or 2) return it because it's defective.

Can't say much about the speeds it offers 3 settings that seem comparable to other fans I've owned. Plain and simple, it does exactly what it's supposed to it assembles quickly, feels sturdy and solid-yet lightweight, runs quietly and effectively, and is priced right. I'm so happy with this fan that I've already purchased 2 more. (For 25 bucks, it's a steal). It's just a really great fan!

UPDATE: Another big plus is how easy this fan is to keep clean. Because it is entirely plastic and dis-assembles into about 5 large pieces, all you need to do is rinse the blades and grill pieces with water and dry. 30 seconds to re-assemble and the fan looks shiny and new. I used to drive myself crazy trying to clean dust/lint/pollen or whatever it was that accumulated on the back of fan, using toothpicks, vacuum, spray cleaners etc. NEVER againthis fan is literally a breeze to keep clean. IMHO this fan is the best one you can buy for the money!

JULY 2013 UPDATE: Have owned two of these fans for approximately a year and a half. One is in the master BR and the other in the TV room. Both fans are in use several hours per day, 7 days week for about 10 months/year. I have never, ever had a problem with either of these fans. They work as flawlessly as when they were new (and as mentioned above, look brand new thanks to easy disassembly & cleaning). One of the fans developed a squeak a few months ago, but a 5 second tightening of the plastic pieces and it was gone. Couldn't be happier with this product!

I own both a Lasko 2521 and 2527. Despite the similar appearance, the fans work differently. The 2527 is considerably louder, and blows substantially more air. The 2521 is quieter, and does not blow as much air.

I like having some background noise in my office, and I heat up easily. The 2521 is (barely) quiet enough to be positioned 8 feet from me, while set on "low". However, the 2527 provides too much noise (and air) for this use, even on "low".

The 2527 is used in another location where I need more airflow (blowing air between rooms), and I am not as concerned about the noise. Therefore, it works better in this situation than the 2521 would.

Neither fan could be considered anywhere near "whisper quiet" when used in a quiet room, and the fan is within 10 feet of you. However, if you want the quieter of the two, go with the the 2521. If you want maximum airflow, or you're working in a noisy shop, no doubt the 2527 will serve you better.

By the way, my 2521 and 2527 replaced two other Laskos that each ran 9 months a year, 12-16 hours per day, for 15 years.

Good Fan. Been going almost 18 hrs a day for months. No problems. Fairly quiet on low speed. Would buy it again.

What a great fan! It was simple to assemble, about 5-10 minutes, works great with 3 adjustable speeds and a head

that can lock in place or rotate with the flip of a button. I also like that it telescopes up and down to be shorter or taller very easily and it operates very quitely, just a great design overall.

This is exactly what I needed! We have a smaller desk fan in our bedroom that is quite loud and I wanted another fan in the room for my side of the bed. I was afraid based on other reviews that this would be really loud and create a cacophony of white noise...but this fan is actually surprisingly quiet, MUCH quieter than the smaller fan we have. It was really easy to put together, took maybe 10 minutes or so.

The base and fan parts are plastic, and the pole is metal. I was afraid it would look cheap because of the plastic but it actually looks very nice. It does a great job of circulating the air, is very quiet, and you can't beat the price! Would definitely recommend.
