Fast Facts About the Lasko 2551
Assembly is required. You'll need to assemble the Support Base Halves with the help of a #2 Phillips screwdriver (which isn't included in the package). For the instructions, refer to the User Manual.
This tower fan comes with a remote control. You'll need two AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. The remote control has the following functions / buttons: power button, oscillation button, timer button, ionizer button, and speed button. These buttons can also be found at the top of the unit.
The fan speed is adjustable. Choose among three settings: 1 (low), 2 (medium), and 3 (high).
This is NOT an air-conditioning unit. It cools a room the way an ordinary fan would. However, it has an air ionizer, which helps clean the air of impurities. The ionizer though doesn't work well as a HEPA filter, as one consumer has said.
SAFETY REMINDER: When cleaning this tower fan, you are strongly discouraged from using alcohol, gasoline, benzene, paint thinner, or other harsh cleaners and solvents.
