Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

At first, I couldn't decide between this fan and the Lasko 4924. After all, the pictures looked identical and I could not tell the difference. I called the company and they said the 4930 is a newer model, with a remote and a timer. Besides that, it is virtually the same as the 4924. This fan is VERY POWERFUL. It can cool a room instantly and blows a significant amount of air. It blows loose papers around so if using it an office, that paperweight will come in handy! I own several fans, including a Vornado and this is much better than the Vornado (and cheaper). I feel that this blows more air than the Vornado, and the temperature of the air that it blows is cooler. The timer is a great feature, it uses a lot of energy so I always turn the timer on so if I leave the room and forget to turn it off, it turns itself off. The only downside to this fan is that it is rather loud. If you have it in the same room as your TV you will either need to turn the setting on the fan down or turn the TV up. Since this is such a powerful fan, you get a lot of cooling just on the lowest setting. Remember, it is a high velocity blower so I guess the noise is a trade off for the amount of air you have blowing. The recessed handle in the back makes it easier to carry from room to room, and the directional louvres do help direct the flow of air. I recommend it, but the noise can be irritating at times. Other than that, I feel it is the best fan on the market, and the price is very reasonable.
