This review is from: Lasko 3540 Cyclone 20-Inch Pivoting Floor Fan with Remote Control (Kitchen)
I agree with the other reviewers that this is a great fan with a couple of annoying deficiencies, the worst being the annoying beeping sound it makes whenever you press any of the buttons on the fan or on the remote. It even emits an extra-long beep when the timer switches it off, which is exactly the opposite of perfect for sleeping!
I found that it is possible to permanently disable the beeper by cutting a wire on the circuit board. I have no way of knowing whether all of these fans are precisely identical, but you are welcome to try this at your own risk if you like.
Of course you should be sure to unplug the fan before disassembling it! The plastic fan blades don't look so dangerous to me, but there are exposed high voltage wires on the circuit board. Take note of how the parts fit together when disassembling.

I am not sure what fan some of the other folks here received but let me state my opinion.
3 speeds, high speed is perfect, not too noisy, adequate air flow, definitely not too strong, I would have even liked it a bit more powerful on high.
Remote control is sweet, allows power on and off, and to change the speed and set the timer.
Yes, the fan does emit a beep when using the remote for any function, no it is not that loud or annoying. How many times are you really going to change settings in an hour or 2?
Overall, for the money, this fits the bill nicely. I will most likely purchase a second one.
