The ONLY thing I like about this fan is how the frame is shaped like an actual box and not that hideous super rounded shape like the modern Lasko and Holmes.
I completely agree. I had that exact fan years ago, and it was definitely the worst box fan I had ever used. It didn’t have that rattle, but there were other problems that I couldn’t stand. One of them was a strong plastic smell that wouldn’t go away even after hours of use. It would fill up the room with that smell and I’m sure it couldn’t have been healthy lol.
This is how you know when a motor has reached the point of cheapness where quality is affected. That's one aspect where I have to give props to Lasko for, is maintaining an acceptable quality of motor. I have yet to come across a Lasko fan with rattling bearings. And the motors that Lasko specifies for their use all seem to be easily serviceable, I have yet to come across a Lasko fan with stamped motors.
I agree, the motors Lasko uses seem halfway decent. If nothing else, they at least come with an adequate amount of lubrication from the factory. I can't remember the last time I came across a locked up 3733.
Never had a box fan but I can tell from this video, the confort zone ones are absolutely terrible. If you paired it up to a vintage box fan, it would destroy the cheap Chinese one in every way.
Honestly, I don’t mind a loud fan as long as it is an even fan sound. Any sort of rattling or clicking or vibrating (no matter how small) bothers me to no end. That one is just sad. At first I thought it was an aero speed from the thumbnail, and they aren’t too horrible if you ask me, but this is bad.
@@scanman975 for me it depends on the sound of the fan and the usage. If I am using it in an area where I am watching TV or listening to the radio or something, I want it to be quiet, but if I am in a quiet room, I need the background noise. Nothing bothers me more than complete silence where you can hear every little thing. I like the sound of vintage fans. More often than not it is a more even deeper sound as opposed to the uneven higher pitched sound of fans today... they just sound bad if you ask me. The best sounding fans in my opinion are the old Bersted table fans and Lakewood box fans with the plastic blades like the k223. Rattling or any other noise besides “fan noise” from a fan drives me crazy. I have a lot of fans that run really well and are really nice, but are just shelf queens because they have a slight rattle or click when oscillating or something like that I can’t get to go away.
@@WalterKnox I believe these come out of the same factory as the Aerospeed units. I too am bothered immensely by any kind of rattling or clicking from appliances.
Also forgot to mention. This user called Dafanmon2500 posted a video a long time ago called "The Universe's Worst Excuse For A Box Fan." I actually think this one tops that.
I had a comfort zone space heater. I took it over to my moms to use because my bedroom over there gets cold in the winter. the very first night I go to use it, the fan quit working, so all it was doing was putting out heatwith no fan. dangerous. Just shows that it was a peace of junck. I will never by comfort zone products again because of that.
True, but sometimes there are those scenarios where people throw out fans just because they're dirty, or have slight issues that can easily be repaired.
what a piece of crap i have a Haier brand box fan that looks insanely like a 3rd gen Lakewood and its way better than this at least its quiet and moves air has a full sized shaded pole motor which is a rarity for an early 00s box fan
I once had a cover zone in I took it apart I was to take something out of the horse to make it vibrate so much then I was trying to wash it and after that it burned up the motor and the switch think is gone forever those things are a piece of crap
I think I herd once that those comfort zone box fans are rebranded aerospeed box fans. they are probibly made by the same maniafacturer, and they just slap sevral differint brand names on them. from what I could see, that fan looked just like the aerospeed box fan that I have.
Some of us want loud fans. To sleep. The extra bumps and knocks are definitely a positive. I love your content! However when it comes to fans, I buy them FOR the noise. It's often times the only thing factoring in how well I sleep. The latest generation Lasko fans from Walmart are pitiful. Right now I'm in the market for a mid-range fan that puts out a ton of noise.
I've heard of plenty of people wanting noise to sleep, but always a constant noise. I've yet to hear anyone say a fan like this would be good for sleeping.
I honestly dont even know why you bother picking these things up, they're all so crappy lol! It almost sounds like the blade is hitting into something while it's running! Also to be honest the noise level of any modern box fan made within the last 25 years is atrocious, especially considering how little air they move. I so much prefer a lower tone sound of older box fans than the high pitched whirring of this new junk! To me it's comparable the difference between listening to a big old carbureted V8 car/ truck chugging along and a modern honda civic screaming at 7000 RPM with no muffler
The videos I've recorded of this fan have generated over $110 to date. I can buy a good amount of vintage stuff with that money! Yes, the newer box fans are absurdly loud, but I think it's nice to have a few around to use in the garage when it floods, around the yard, etc.. Areas where the units may get tipped over or damaged in some way, and it wouldn't matter since they're junk. I agree completely about the vehicles, I can't stand the sound of the cars with loud "mufflers" today.
Lasko fans are also not that great. Lasko box fans are also garbage. They don’t last long and are pretty noisy. I will not buy Comfort Zone or Lasko fans.
They used to be fine. I have a lasko fan that just died after almost 14 years of near continuous duty. If I had caught the bearing going out earlier, I could have saved it, but it ended up causing the windings to be cooked from the excessive heat.
@JordanU lol, ik yea that was a very horrible van. I have seen one in the trash. I test it and it was useless. No wonder why they threw it out. I put it back out to the curb.
The knocking could be that the bearings are extremely worn
The bearings should not be extremely worn a year or two after production.

And I remember the classic box fan you had that you gave away that I almost bought … that one had a weird designed, glad I didn't get it.
Yea. I have another co,feet zone desk fan. And it just smellS like plastic
Who knows what kind of toxic materials these are made from.

This box fan makes the Lasko 3733/B20200 look good!
The Lasko unit is much better than this.

So if you lean the Fan over the noise stops
OK
Or the same price that you got or both
Also forgot to mention. This user called Dafanmon2500 posted a video a long time ago called "The Universe's Worst Excuse For A Box Fan." I actually think this one tops that.
OK
I totally agree too. i se these cheap box fans today are not as goos as the ones from the 90s 80s 70s maybe eary 2000s and so on.
Thanks for letting me know.
Never knew there could be a box fan much worse than the current Holmes and Areospeed.
Yeah the Holmes fan is not much but it is a nice quiet sounding fan
Both of those are more or less the same as this one.
you wouldnt wish that fan on your worst enemies XD
This is a truly awful fan.
For 20$
0:24 "blueberries"
But what does the label say
(CRANBURY)
It's for C O M E D Y
Strawberries

That is dangerous.
I remember sleeping in a hotel with a fan like that and it was pretty noisy and made it difficult for me to sleep at night because of all the noise.
Not good.
Bro they put it in top 5 best box fans 💀
I don't know what you're talking about.
@JordanU UA-cam make like top 5 best box fans of like 2022 or whatever
AND THIS WAS IN IT!
I believe this sound is the warped blade hitting the metal bars on the back of the fan. If you could replace the blades, i think that would go away.
It is not.
@@JordanU That fan is making those Hanna-Barbera Flintstones running sounds.
That noise is due to the warped blade
There’s a reason that fan was in the trash, you know!
True, but sometimes there are those scenarios where people throw out fans just because they're dirty, or have slight issues that can easily be repaired.
@@sethhorst6158 That's true, there are plenty of things in the trash that don't belong there.
Yes it’s uncomfortable area
Uncomfort zone
Locational discomfort
Aww man took me out of my comfort zone
OK
what a piece of crap i have a Haier brand box fan that looks insanely like a 3rd gen Lakewood and its way better than this at least its quiet and moves air has a full sized shaded pole motor which is a rarity for an early 00s box fan
Thanks for letting me know.
It’s an Aerospeed
I know.
Time to make it utterly outrageously dangerous by taking off the guards lol
O no, I'm sure those stupid flimsy paper thin blades will be cutting through fingers everywhere.
I saw one of these In the trash driving by and didn’t take it because it looked like crap
These aren't even worth retrieving from the trash.
will never have much power with this big one that looks like a soap dish lol
I don't see it.
I once had a cover zone in I took it apart I was to take something out of the horse to make it vibrate so much then I was trying to wash it and after that it burned up the motor and the switch think is gone forever those things are a piece of crap
Not good.
If you want to give it away I’ll take the box fan
My 20” Mainstays box fan can outperform this junk
OK
for some reason people get mad when i smash a vintage rare galaxy box fan, but people dont care if i smash a lasko 3733 box fan?
I don't understand what you're asking.
I think I herd once that those comfort zone box fans are rebranded aerospeed box fans. they are probibly made by the same maniafacturer, and they just slap sevral differint brand names on them. from what I could see, that fan looked just like the aerospeed box fan that I have.
They all come out of the same factory in China.
that why i dont buy comfort fan stuff

My boxfan is a Toastmaster and the thing is CONSTANTLY.. And i mean *CONSTANTLY* Rattling, its very noisy
My toastmaster box fan rattles like crazy to but it is actually worth it
I've heard of plenty of people wanting noise to sleep, but always a constant noise. I've yet to hear anyone say a fan like this would be good for sleeping.
I can do both
I’ve got a 12 comfort zone I bought new works well for me I’d run that thing in the barn see how long it will live
I don't have a barn.
Update
1/10 for this thing

The midea\pelonis fans are better than this
I agree.
That's just a revamped Aerospeed fan.
It probably comes out of the same factory.
OMG I hate confront zone so mush
i call it "uncomfort zone"
@@randomcontentcreator123-l4d I agree
@@fansandvintage2008 Comfort Zone is very inconsistent. Some of the fans are OK, some are awful.
I believe this rebranded an aero speed fan
It probably comes out of the same factory.
Discomfort Zone box fans are no good!
I agree.
it looks like a Computer Monitor
I don't see it.
uh its Cranbury's not blubury's
It's blueberries not blubury's.
that fan sounds like Trah
I'm not sure what that is.
I bEt It MoVeS 6000 cFms Of aIr!
I'm not sure it moves even 6 CFM.
Can you destroy it?
Its it a comfort zone under a jeep tire???

I want to see it get crushed too

I like it
OK
Can u destroy it?
I did.

ur crrect
The Lasko 3733 is much better than this.
I know right bro probably do a video of destroying it or maybe patting it out keep the motor that's about it lol its China pride at its best bro
True this is China Pride for sure.
