I have decided that I am never buying another Lasko product again for the rest of my life. The last two fans I have purchased that were Lasko products have been extremely shoddy and had a seriously decreased lifecycle.
After having one for about 11 months, I had just bought another of their 18 inch oscillating stand fan back in November and rarely run it above medium. Actually, given that the first one lasted less than a year I should have been wiser. Anyway, Monday night at 4am, the one I purchased in November bit it hard… I thought it was going to last, but it kept getting slower and slower and slower and starting making some truly obnoxious noises that fans should not make! It finally came to a griding and loud halt, meeting its death at approximately 4am leaving me without a fan to sleep with.
That’s two Lasko fans in 16 months that have simply dropped dead on me and I meticulously clean them and dust them out with compressed air. I have determined they are junk.
The new one is a Honeywell that I had shipped overnight. Amazon Prime is nice. 
I will probably review it and post about it. The thing blows more air on low than the Lasko did on high.
