The Lasko 2517 Wind Tower Fan earns praise from users for its slim, stylish design and handy features, such as wide-angle oscillation, a 7-hour timer, and a multifunction remote control. While most reviewers say the fan puts out a strong breeze, a few find the airflow insufficient. Users are also divided over this fan's noise level; many say it is quiet, but a few report noise problems, especially when the fan is in oscillating mode. We also saw a couple of reports of durability problems, but fewer than for most fans covered in our report. Several users also express concern that the narrow fan can be knocked over easily, especially by children. In general, however, this is less of a problem with tower fans than with top-heavy pedestal fans. If you find the Lasko's $45 price tag a bit too steep, consider the Lasko 1825 18-Inch Adjustable Cyclone pedestal fan (*Est. $30).
