This was unlike the dial on the Vornado, which lets you grip it comfortably as you smoothly and quietly rotate it around clockwise and back. We found this Vornado fan simple to set up, as it slid in almost one solid piece out of the box, but we needed lasko pedestal fans to assemble its two base halves together and then screw them tighter together using a screwdriver. A screwdriver was not needed to assemble the Honeywell Quietset Whole Room HYF290B tower fan, which was the easiest tower fan for us to set up.
When deciding which Lasko box fan to buy, know that the different models have more in common than they have differences. They all feature the patented Blue Plug safety fuse technology, a mechanism that cuts power to the fan if an electrical fault in the motor or power supply is detected. They’re all Electrical Testing Laboratories listed, which means they comply with OSHA’s North American safety standards. They come either completely assembled or require simple, no-tools assembly and they’re all manually controlled. Yes, it’s round, but the Lasko Cyclone is as effective a box fan as they come.

At this price point, you’re sure to find there’s no better box fan on the market! However, the best box fans will be designed with quality motors that keep that element under control, and fan blades that maximize air flow, while minimizing noise. With a wide, stable base you can place on the floor, it’s a style of fan that you can use in any room in the house, and, with its own carry handle, you can easily take wherever you need it. Available in a variety of colors to suit your decor, these classic square fans look great in any setting.
But we found its blue control knob on the back of the fan to be a bit cumbersome to reach, as we had to tilt the fan down to access it, and even then, the knob felt a bit wobbly in our grip. This was unlike the firm, smooth motion we enjoyed while turning the knob on the Vornado Energy Smart 533DC circulator fan. The Lasko Wind Machine 3300 circulator fan is also much bigger than the other floor fans we tested, so we had trouble sitting it atop our desk, which alen breathesmart quite frankly, it isn’t designed to do. This is unlike the Honeywell Turbo Force HT-900 and the Black+Decker 9-Inch BFB09W circulator fans we tested since they’re compact enough to fit atop a desk or table as well as the floor. Even though we appreciated Lasko’s built-in carrying handle on top of the fan, its 9.25-pound weight made it more difficult for us to carry from one part of our testing area than the 3.44-pound Vornado Energy Smart 533DC circulator fan.
Whether you choose classic black or white or add a pop of color to your home with our Cool Colors options, you’ll love these go-anywhere 20” box fans. Our comprehensive selection includes Weather-Shield® fans, which are built with patented technology for worry-free window use. Eight speed settings — more than the other tower fans we tested — give you the ability to fine-tune, though the three lower speeds were very similar in our testing. The clearly labeled controls and comfortable remote made it easy to click through the settings; other models were more finicky and difficult to adjust. 20-inch box fan featuring a slimline design making it ideal for smaller spaces. Includes 3 whisper-quiet speeds and energy-efficient high volume air movement.
