THE BEST FAN I'VE OWNED!
I was hesitant to buy this because of the negative reviews posted under the white-colored version of this fan. I am so glad I didn't listen! I was concerned that it would be "cheap" and flimsy due to the all-plastic construction (the fan motor cover, blades, grill and bottom are plastic; the pole is metal). On the contrary, the all-plastic construction is one of the best features of this fan. The plastic is thick, smooth and all of the pieces fit snugly together seamlessly. It is unbelievably light-weight and I can easily move it around with one hand.
It must be put together, but the assembly could not be easier and requires no tools or elbow grease - only about 60 seconds of your time. It comes in 5 pieces, plus 2 plastic "nuts" that hold it together. Some reviewers complained that the front grill was "tricky" to put on. If you take 10 seconds to read the instructions, it's a breeze. I think the issue is that you'd expect the front piece to "snap" into place. It does not...
LASKO 2521 VS. 2527 - NOT WHISPER QUIET!
I own both a Lasko 2521 and 2527. Despite the similar appearance, the fans work differently. The 2527 is considerably louder, and blows substantially more air. The 2521 is quieter, and does not blow as much air.
I like having some background noise in my office, and I heat up easily. The 2521 is (barely) quiet enough to be positioned 8 feet from me, while set on "low". However, the 2527 provides too much noise (and air) for this use, even on "low".
The 2527 is used in another location where I need more airflow (blowing air between rooms), and I am not as concerned about the noise. Therefore, it works better in this situation than the 2521 would.
Neither fan could be considered anywhere near "whisper quiet" when used in a quiet room, and the fan is within 10 feet of you. However, if you want the quieter of the two, go with the the 2521. If you want maximum airflow, or you're working in a noisy shop, no doubt the 2527 will serve you better...
Like It.
Good Fan. Been going almost 18 hrs a day for months. No problems. Fairly quiet on low speed. Would buy it again.
