Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

we had a Lasko 18 inch pedestal fan , that lasted over 20 years.... easy to assemble, quiet, powerful.....I bought , in Shoprite, a cool comfort 16 inch pedestal fan, maybe 20 minutes or less assembly, very easy, works very well, for 20 bucks......also wanted an 18 inch blade pedestal fan, ordered a basic, no remote Lasko for 36 bucks.. on speakerphone for over one hour , while Lasko promised to get to me.... during this hour, I noticed that one of the connecting pipes was improperly milled, uneven flange, and bent, not due to transport damage, just made wrong.. also, the snap locks were OFF ,in one place around an eight of an inch of, between the two grills, so that one could get all of them together, EXCEPT FOR THE OFF ONE....which meant that we have here another manufacturing defect..... I KNOW how to put fans together- read the top of this comment... I DON'T CARE IF LASKO IS MADE IN PHILLY, WHICH IT IS, OR IN OUTER MONGOLIA.... THEY ARE NOT WATCHING THEIR MANUFACTURING LINE CLOSELY ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! PEOPLE, STAY AWAY, AND ROLL THE DICE ON ANY OTHER BRAND.......ALSO, THEIR LOUSY CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO KEEP YOU AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
