Lasko 2511 review

A 36-inch oscillating tower fan with three speeds, a remote and a seven-hour programmable timer.

Where this leaves you Three speeds, sixty degrees of oscillation and a seven-hour timer in a 36-inch tower. Everything in this listing is also in a tower on this shelf costing half as much, which adds 85 degrees and a published 28 decibels.

What the maker puts in writing

  • 36 in tall · 3 speeds · 60° oscillation
  • 7-hour programmable timer
  • Remote for power, speed, oscillation and timer

Three blanks on a tower fan

No airflow. No decibels. No watts.

Two towers on this shelf fill at least two of those three and cost less. That is the whole comparison, and it is not close on paper.

What the remote is worth

Four functions from the bed, on a shelf where the cheapest tower has mechanical dials on the top and nothing else.

That is a real convenience, and it is most of what this listing offers over the fans below it.

The good and the less good

Strengths

  • A remote covering all four functions, which three towers on this shelf do not have at all
  • Thirty-six inches of height in a slim tower, so the air leaves above furniture
  • Three speeds and a programmable timer, with nothing to set up

Compromises

  • Publishes no airflow figure, no decibel level and no wattage — the only tower on this shelf with all three blank
  • Sixty degrees of oscillation, the narrowest on this shelf alongside two others
  • Costs more than the OSTBA tower here, which publishes 7.9 m (26 ft)/s, 28 dB, 85° and a 12-hour timer

The questions that keep coming up

How much air does it move?

The listing does not say, in any unit. This shelf publishes airflow four different ways — CFM, feet of reach, feet per second and meters per second — and this is one of three fans that publish none of them.

Is 60 degrees enough oscillation?

It covers a sofa, not a room. The OSTBA tower on this shelf gives 85 degrees at a lower price, and the DREO pedestals give 90, 120 and 150. Sixty is where this shelf starts.

What about noise?

"Three whisper-quiet fan speeds", with no figure. Two towers on this shelf publish 28 dB and one pedestal publishes 20 dB. On a bedroom fan, that is the number to want.
