Does the Lasko 100 have a built in fan? Is it noisy?

QUICK QUESTION: Does it have a FAN only option? (like for using during summer time just FAN and no heat?)

It does have a fan that goes on automatically on and off. The sound is a low range hum.

Not sure if it has a built in fan. But not noisy at all, i use it at my cubicle at work and no one else would know it was there.

It does have a fan, but it what I would consider a whisper fan. It blows the air gently and the air is very warm, toasty warm, but not hot that it would burn you. We use them at work for our feet to keep the warm and dry... And the fact that it is so small, and uses so little electric (200 watts compared to the standard small cube heaters that use 1500 watts) means that it can stay on and heat your feet gently and continuously, rather than shutting on and off all the time. It simply has an on / off switch. It doesn't need a thermostat. I use one also in my greenhouse in a cold room and between that and the lighting, it keeps the temp between 72 degrees at night when lights are off, and 80 during the day... The room always stays around 56 degrees outside of my greenhouse and the greenhouse is 6 x 8 x7 feet high... Not sure if that helps...

It does have a fan, it is relatively a slow / quite fan. However you will be able to hear it if you are sleeping.

We have only used it in outside settings, where it does fantastically by the way, but I have never really noticed a LOUD fan noise at all.

Yes. It is an oscillating fan. Mine is very quiet and puts out nice amount of air in my large l shaped cube. It does put off a plastic smell when turned on. I really like it.

No, the fan has plastic blades. The fan is very strong even on low setting. It will cool a room down in no time. The higher settings are awesome.

If the fan to which you refer is the convection oven fan, the answer is no, it is not noisy. The unit appears to be well insulated from sound.

No knowledge of the Honeywell...the Lasko does what I wanted and oscillates and has a filter of sorts if you want. Sounds like white noise during the night but is good to block out noise. Great for the price.

Not noisy. Of course, it is a heavy duty, thus you will hear a humming from the air flow. Excellent fan.

It is too small imo. The larger Vornado or the Lasko shop fan would work better. I have both.

It does make noise but it is not as loud as your other style of pedestal fan. I enjoy the consistent noise of the fan but it's not overly loud even when on high.

You're asking the right person. Before purchasing the Lasko, I purchased the Vornado. I don't recall the model number but it was top-of-the-line model & cost much more than the Lasko. The worst thing about the Vornado was the air flow. On the highest setting, it provided a very light breeze that I could barely feel. Heating my bathroom so I didn't freeze when I got out of the shower in winter required leaving the Vornado on with the door closed for at least an hour. I don't even have to have the Lasko on until I get in the shower & it usually doesn't require the highest setting. They both have the safety tip-over switch & the Lasko also shuts off automatically if it gets too hot.

Yes Frank, this Lasko tower fan comes with a remote. Four regular buttons for the power, speed, oscillation, timer, and a fifth for the special ionizing capability. There's a slot at the top in back for storing. I have three: family room, computer room, bedroom. They are beautifully designed, and allow my air conditioner settings to be set a little higher. I love this fan.

I wasn't aware that the SMT1500 fan runs constantly. Do you mean as compared to older models, such as the SUA1500?I have an SMT1000 and it's not noisy at all, even with my ear right next to it. Of course it's in a room with my server which does run the fans constantly with quite a bit of air noise. So, I suppose it's all relative.

I haven't looked inside this unit, but I don't believe there is a fan inside it. It has side air inputs and a rear air output for cooling purposes. It makes no noise whatsoever. Hope this helps.

The fan does make noise - it's not a silent runner. We use it in the basement as well.

Yes, it has a fan with 2 settings: low and high. The fan is very quiet and is a good "white noise" in a bedroom during sleep hours. In any other room the fan sound would hardly be noticeable.

No, the fan isn't loud. The motor is loud, and annoying as hell. I found an awesome loud can with a quiet motor and it's perfect. Loud whoosh without the annoying, loud whine is what you're looking for.

Yes it has a fan. I used this live quite a few times and even a few house parties where it ran all night. I have never had a problem with it
