Query: Poor quality and noisy

Bought this fan to help with cooling a kitchen work area. It has a nice small footprint (handy when placed on a counter), and is short enough to be unobtrusive. The problem is that the fan blower alone is somewhat noisy on anything but the lowest setting. Add to that an oscillation system that began making noise about 30 days after purchase. The thing now clicks, grumbles, and rumbles as it slowly churns its way through each oscillation pass. It's extremely loud and intrusive. I'd send it back to Lasko, but the warranty service charges and shipping make that a money-losing proposition.For now, I run it only as a non-oscillating fan, and am looking for a replacement. Your best bet: Don't Buy This Fan.
