Lakewood Kool Operator Junior Fan Review

 I recently bought a home that does not have air conditioning, which I am accustomed to having!  Luckily we have only have had a few hot days so far and this Lakewood Kool Operator Junior Fan has helped keep me cool. 

First off I chose this Lakewood fan based on experience with the brand - they are usually good products. The Kool Operator fan is a modest size of only about 6'' across. But it packs quite a punch with its features, which are the following: 

• 3 Speeds
• Up-Down Pivoting ability
• 5-bladed fan
• Durable construction 

The 3 speeds are nice depending on why I'm using the fan. If I'm just sitting still, low is fine. But if I'm working around the house and it's hot the high speed works best.  The size of fan is also perfect for sitting in my windows, which the base fits on the ledge. 

I think the 5 blades also help propel a lot of air. When it gets cranking this Lakewood fan really creates a nice breeze. I don't use the pivot feature too much, but it's nice to have it available. 

Some small fans are quite noisy and while the Lakewood Kool Operator Junior Fan is not silent, it is far quieter than some of the ''turbo'' fans I have used, especially on the Low setting. Also, the base is quite stable and the fan does not shake, and the grill guard does not rattle. 

Based on my experience Lakewood makes some really good house fans and I usually try to buy this brand if it's available. This small fan does not cool-down the whole house by any measure, but it certainly cools off a single room or area, and does so effectively.
