The air conditioning is nice but not accessible to all, where the electric fans come in. Electric fans are everywhere — from tower fans to portable hand fans, neck fans and more — but box fan it can withstand the summer heat for a fraction of the price of a portable air conditioner.

If you're looking for a reliable fan that won't let you down when the heat rises, turn to Lasko. The brand Classic 20 inch box fan features a “durable motor” with three speed levels and earned a customer rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars at Walmart.

I bought this fan from Walmart at the start of the pandemic and it has held steady for the past four years (and counting). Although I don't use it as often as I used to, it has a place in my bedroom from 2020, and not just in the summer months. The Lasko Box Fan will get you through any kind of hot situation, no matter the season. And if you're a hot sleeper, it's great for helping you stay cool at night.

The fan is not particularly loud, but not as quiet as the product description would have you believe. While it barely makes any noise at the lowest setting, it's definitely louder when cranked up to the highest setting.

Available in white, black, blue and purple, the 20-inch box fan is equipped with an easy-to-carry handle and removable front grill and blades for easy cleaning and overall maintenance. Plus, no setup required: Just pull it out of the box and plug it in.

The fan received a price cut just ahead of Walmart+ Week, a week-long event where Walmart+ subscribers can enjoy exclusive savings from June 17-23.

The Lasko box fan is also available at other retailers such as QVC, Target and Amazon.
