Lasko Recalls Box Fans Due To Fire Hazard

We set it in our bedroom window at night when the humidity is low to bring in the cooler air. It works well at circulating the air from the air conditioner. This Black+Decker fan was easy to assemble — that is, until we tried to attach its rear and front grilles together. There is a plastic ring that secures the two grilles together, but we found the fan’s one flimsy clasp on the front grille was not enough to firmly secure the two grilles together.

This is unlike the Honeywell Quietset Whole Room HYF290B tower fan, which we set to oscillate on eight different speed settings. The Vornado Whole Room 184 is also taller than the Lasko 36-Inch 2511 tower fan and is much taller than the Dyson Purifier Hot+Cool Formaldehyde HP09 tower fan. The Vornado Whole Room 184 is also just slightly taller than the Honeywell Quietset Whole Room HYF290B tower fan.
