What fans are you using for your indoor training setup? This Lasko is still going strong and has more air capacity to keep you riding.

LASKO U15617

My Lasko Is still going strong, it’s been a few years now original companion here. It’s blower type meaning it sucks air into the center of a rotating cylinder (you can see the larger hole on the side) and blows it out with force in one focused direction. Generally this type of “fan” is more forceful than a tradition “fan” and a more confined air pattern, it’s often used for drying large areas because of the high speed of air flow. FYI- The Wahoo Headwind also uses this style of engineering.

In the past when I wrote, the fan was $66, it’s now jumped to $85. more details:

This unit is a little bit bigger than the prior fans. It is a little bit taller and wider, but in my mind still classes as small and sits on the floor. It also has 3 speeds and an adjustable angle air nozzle. This model also has a circuit breaker and two electrical outlets on the side of the unit.

• Size : 11″ x 15″ footprint and 15″ tall
• Noise : 53, 57, 59 db
• Air Speed : 12.2, 13.4 and 15.8 mph
• Electrical Power : 120W

In Use: Like the prior fan, this was a big step up. First off at the lowest setting the airflow was greater than both the Vornado and Honeywell. 
The shape and area of the airflow is great for a cyclist as you can easily set it up to target your full upper body. The air does not reach down to your feet unless the fan is positioned further away. The unit is certainly powerful enough to do that.
Fan setting 2 is all I needed when using taking on an extended VO2 workout, Setting number 2 was also about the limit of listening to a youtube on my nearby laptop. At this setting it measured at approx. 57db, which makes sense when you also take into account bike noise.
A couple of other nice things about this style fan was that the angle of output is very adjustable to any position.

I also think the following LASKO’S would be very good.

Smaller version Lasko 12″ Pivoting Pro High Velocity Utility Blower Fan with 3 Speeds, U12104, about $65

Larger version Lasko U15610 Pro-Performance Pivoting Utility Blower Fan, but a lot more at $120+ , maybe not worth it as much
