I remember seeing these box fans at target 10 years ago for the first time and I couldn't believe how the carry handle is on the back and the blades are straight off from lakewood.
You know what's funny? I have a Lasko 5-speed pedestal fan that has the same exact loudness and pitch on high speed as this Holmes box fan, but probably moves twice the air. You're right about these Holmes fans being pretty gutless; I remember that the Salvation Army store back where I used to live had a horde of these box fans, and they were WEAK. Like, seriously weak- you could not feel the breeze more than 2 feet away. Granted, they were fairly dusty, so that probably was a contributing factor. But I still think a basic Lasko 3733 / B20200 works better than these Holmes box fans.
You can still remove the cord, I know because I clean mine monthly, you have to tug on it and wiggle it left to right. The fan is cheaply made but if we'll taken care of it can last a while, I've had mine for 3 years already and all I do is basic cleaning and oiling.
Dang I should’ve kept my white version of this the cord actually could come off of that one, I actually still have the cord to it surprisingly but now I have this version where it can’t come off it was hard cleaning the rear grill
I have a box fan that I so far have not seen any reviews on and it’s called beyond breeze and I would say that the airflow on it is probubaly the exact same as that Holmes fan because it has the same airflow as that cheap thing. Also I was at a store and saw a special lasko fan it said on the box that it had 20% more airflow than the regular lasko I decided to get it and at speed 1 the airflow was about the same as a regular lasko fan on full power and speed three was insanely good but it was 40$ for the thing💀💀honestly Evan though the more powerful one is better I would recommend just buying a normal lasko box fan to save money.
The gray-cord, On my, Holmes, Black, fan(Like the one, ln the video, Here) seems to have a short-circuit, Near the part, Near the back of the fan. Is the cord-attachment supposed to be loose or fit, Snug? Could l get a Cord-Replacement, From the Holmes Company? ...and lf all else fails, Can l, Still, get a refund, From the company, lf l have no receipt?
I found one at a park entrance probably bought several months prior but it mostyl has the same parts lasko has except for the blades and rear grill but it does have the same motor as any Lasko box fan
I don't get how you can't remove the power cord. I figured I'd try here before breaking it. It may go back. This is silly, Giving a bad name to "Made in the USA". Their more expensive model is really good tho, $55
The power cord, once inserted, is not designed to be removed. Stupid design I agree. I pried mine out with 2 flathead screwdrivers but ended up destroying the electrical connector
That's EXACTLY why am here. I can't remove the dam thing what fucking stupid design. I swear they only did so u can't stick back in the box and return it. Out right ridiculous.
The reason it’s not removable is there’s a little locking tab inside the female end of the power cord connector. If you break that off before you stick the power cord in then it’s removable. I would use a pair of pliers and a flat head screwdriver to remove the cord set from the power cord slot. That’s how I got mine out, but I ended up damaging the male end of the connector. Lasko and Aerospeed both don’t have this stupid design.
Your right when you said you were uploading a video of a cheap fan lol. In my opinion the Lasko 3733s are much better. I do like the box though and it looks like this year they started selling them in black.
I just got the same Holmes box fan from target except it is white it's an okay fan but it is off balance it hops on the floor like a goddam horse at a rodeo contest 🤠 and the bearings sound like they could use some oil. The reason why I bought it is because I live in a group home and upstairs it gets really really hot 🥵🔥 I needed a cheapo box fan for the group home I kinda find it funny 😂 because of how china can't even make a perfect plastic mold.
The cord is in the way yep. Maybe cut a slit in the guard so the plug could pass through. Stupid design decision if you ask me. They want me to just throw it away when it dies.
Personally I think even the Lasko 3733 is better than these..these aren't great but they will work if you need a fan. But Lasko makes a better box fan compared to Holmes and Aerospeed
Yea these have poor quality control. I prefer the Lasko thermostat fans. I want to buy one to video but they aren’t in my 3 local Home Depot’s this year. I especially don’t like the permanent boom box cord on this fan. Kinda stupid tbh if you ask me. It was a cool feature for storage, but now it’s just annoying.
Mason Madvig Well the fan is made in the USA but the motor is made in China. That’s what it says on the box at least. I don’t know if that’s true but I’m going to assume it is.
Unfortunately 😔😔 I have this fan and it's hardly moves any air and it stopped working. The best place to buy the lasko cool colours is Walmart and there shelfs are stacked with them.
Don't buy this fan Holmes makes one of the worst box fan of all time if you need a box fan get the lasko cool colours box fan or the aerospeed box fan.

Yea they do share a similar design!

Idk why they would make a undetachable cord like what if u have to get the rear grill off like wtf Would they do that for?
Not sure why they made such a poor engineering decision. Confusing as ever.

From 1 to 10 i give this fan a 3
Mason Madvig Yeah it’s not a very good fan. The older versions were OK but not this one.
Dang I should’ve kept my white version of this the cord actually could come off of that one, I actually still have the cord to it surprisingly but now I have this version where it can’t come off it was hard cleaning the rear grill
I still have a Lakewood hi velocity floor fan from 2003. It’s a little 9 inch
the controls are really hard to reach for most people. I’d get something with a full size motor like a McMillan or Marco
I agree its a stupid design
For a box fan, I rather a Lasko Weather Shield Box Fan that you just mentioned and even that vintage Lakewood 3rd Generation Box Fan.
Totally. These holmes models aren’t really good
Stay away from those new Weather Shields! They tend to fail quick!
There better than the Holmes ones.

I came to this video to figure out how to unplug it from the back of the fan 😂 fuck
You can’t 😂
I remember you replying to someone these are good
The older versions yes. Not these new ones.
@@FansandCars U mean the non brace bladed non boom box cord ones?
Yes! Those are pretty good.
@@FansandCars I have a Lasko 3733 . It's not bad but still flimsy

It has a similar motor, but it’s not the same motor. I would take a Lasko over this
@@FansandCars true and the pitch is not as deep
Yep!
Target replaced them with black Lasko oens thankfully
Can you put that in your window like the smaller Holmes??? And will it bring in cold air from outside like the window holes that’s smaller?
It can only go in the window blowing air out. If you flip it over the cord would get squished between the window.
Will a lasko replacement box fan blade fit on this fan?
I have put a similar homes fan blade on a Lasko fan. So I would guess yes, but I’m not 100% sure.
@@FansandCars thank you for your quick reply. I'll definitely be checking it out. 😎👍
You never swear in your video besides this one

I like the black. Gonna be used for working on my truck.
Fans and Cars that sounds like a good use. I have a 3733 that I use as a “beater fan.”
I’m going to buy a second and keep it sealed and open it in 10 years lol

Hey if the fan works for you then it works haha
@@FansandCars cool I wish they would have made stuff like they used to 😔
I wish Lakewood would bring back the P and S series fans.
@@FansandCars unfortunately Lakewood is OOB since 2009! Their last great quality box ban was the p25 metal blade back from 2007
Yep I agree. Shame they closed their doors.
What happened to the lakewood one like this u had?
Still have it somewhere
Lasko will make box fans great again while Holmes is tremendously corrupt and they bought out Patton industrial fans.
Patton no longer exists. I did a video on my channel if you want to see.
@@FansandCars where'd it go
The video’s still there. It’s called ‘The End of Payton Fans?’ As for Patton, I believe they are no longer on business.
@@FansandCars rip
Cleaning the back grille is going to suck
The cord is in the way yep. Maybe cut a slit in the guard so the plug could pass through. Stupid design decision if you ask me. They want me to just throw it away when it dies.

Stand on it and YANK that boom box cord it will come out

@@FansandCars could always order one off Amazon. I bought one back when my Walmart still had them. I think it was the last year they sold them.
@@torythefanman my walmart sells the cool colors
That’s cool!
@@FansandCars They are decent fans
I want one
$20 from Target
I wouldn't touch that fan with a ten foot pole because it is made buy termendisley corrupt corporation called Holmes.
Sadly the reason why it's poor quality because it's made in communist China not a lot of USA in that thing. 😔😔.
Mason Madvig Well the fan is made in the USA but the motor is made in China. That’s what it says on the box at least. I don’t know if that’s true but I’m going to assume it is.
Unfortunately 😔😔 I have this fan and it's hardly moves any air and it stopped working. The best place to buy the lasko cool colours is Walmart and there shelfs are stacked with them.
Mason Madvig That’s the best value box fan out there right now. I believe it even comes with a 2 year warranty.
These particular fans are not as powerful than lasko the only thing that is positive about this fan is different in speed control.
*Fans and Cars* i love cars nich ❤😍
Thanks!
30000 $
Don't buy this fan Holmes makes one of the worst box fan of all time if you need a box fan get the lasko cool colours box fan or the aerospeed box fan.
Exactly right. I have the cool colors one.
the cord can be removed, you have to remove the back panel, remove the cord holder, pull up the tab holding the cord in and pull out the cord
Thanks for this. Been trying to figure this out for a whole. What a horrible design.
Holmes products sucks
They sure don’t have the same quality they did in the 90s
