Genesis 20" Box Fan, 3 Settings, Black (G20BOX-BLK)

This fan needs a US/Canadian 120VAC power supply. If you are aiming to use this fan in the UK (240VAC) you MUST use a converter from 240VAC to 120VAC or you will damage/blow up the motor on first use.

First time using and the motor has blown with it not even being on for 2 mins!

Terrible quality. Only used it for a few minutes and it stopped working, plus it smelled like a burnt motor. I’ve requested a refund and still waiting. Extremely disappointed. ☹️

0 stars if I could! I chose this fan because it was the cheapest but little did I know that it has a USA plug. So you would have to buy a USA to UK adapter. I bought an adapter for it and plugged it in. It started to produce this electrical burning smell after 5 seconds of being on. Then the motor started to smoke! Then completely stopped working after 10 seconds of being on. Like my house stank of burnt electric for hours! So I made all this effort of buying an adapter which is now completely useless since I live in the UK! I was extremely annoyed since I now had to get a return for the fan and adapter!!! Print out the return shipping for the fan and drive all the way to two return drop off points carrying this giant fan!!! I definitely do not recommend this product!!!

Burnt out within a minute and left a burning electrical smell for hours. Stay away from this as it’s just a chew on and a waste of time

ITEM DOESN'T WORK! Burning smell and then blew! Box was all damaged when it arrived. AVOID!

I have for the last 30 years lived on a beach in Florida. Moist sea air plays havoc on your home if you live on the ocean and there are a lot of maintenance things you need to do. (I know, oh boohoo for me, hey everyone has problems). Every year I would buy at least two new Lasco box fans. I have literally been buying this brand and this exact model of fan for at least a decade. I have been able to see that over the years the fans have gotten smaller and thinner, what was once made out of metal is now made out of plastic, The price of the fans of course continues to rise, to a place where they are now more than double what I originally paid when I bought my first one. As a result of cutting corners in order to produce these fans, the quality has become quite poor. I need to circulate air throughout my home even when my central air conditioning is not running, in order to prevent the growth of mold due to the level of humidity in my home by virtue of living on the ocean. These fans were just simply no longer up to the task and I set out to find a new brand. Enters Genesis fans. I received my first genesis fan yesterday to replace a lasco. So, where do I begin? Let's start with aesthetics. This was frankly never a great point for me because the fans are more function rather than a fashion statement. However, that being said, the Lasco fans are quite ugly in appearance to be quite frank. They look like what you would imagine a fan built to sit in a hospital would look like, stark white plastic. Incidentally a white fan does not stay white forever. I found my Genesis fan to be a solid black with a greater eye towards design in terms of the front and back screening. They've chosen a pattern that is aesthetically pleasing. Even the blades of the two fans are different. The Genesis having more of an aerodynamic sleekness, that is seen in its appearance and in terms of (I believe) it's operation. Simply stated the Genesis is a much better looking fan for the same amount of money. Next in terms of functionality. I must say that the Genesis is highly superior. Whereas in the past I would utilize my Lasco fans at the highest setting, I am receiving the same or a greater airflow with the Genesis on the lowest setting. This, in and of itself, is the essence of a review of a box fan, It does a much better job at moving air. I do not find the fan to be louder than previous box fans I have owned. I however may not be the best unbiased judge in this regard as it is white noise which I find pleasant. Overall I would highly recommend this fan, it is reasonably priced (in this day and age) coming in at about a dollar less than the Lasco. I received next day free shipping. It arrives assembled out of the box and is packaged well. It's hot, it's summer, if you need a box fan, I would buy one of these.

Es el mejor ventilador que he comprado y su precio está súper bien

Powerful and durable. This fan on a low setting is like most fans on a high setting and i love it. I've had a going nonstop since I bought it and it's still going strong

No hace tanto ruido y funciona muy bien

Strong fan! Could be used for very big rooms. Has little feet you have to twist to help it stand. Not quiet, but very effective white noise generator.
