Lasko 3733 20" Box Fan vs Lasko Weather-Shield 3720 Box Fan

Both are 20-inch Lasko box fans with three speeds, so the choice comes down to build and cord length. The 3720 Weather-Shield is the sturdier fan: a heavier aluminum housing, a longer cord and a much larger pool of owner ratings that average slightly higher. The 3733 is lighter and simpler, which suits a window sill or a spot where you move the fan often. Most shoppers are better served by the 3720 unless weight and a compact frame matter more to you.

  • Choose the Lasko 3733 if you want a lighter, simpler box fan for a window or a small room and don't need a long cord.
  • Choose the Lasko Weather-Shield 3720 if you want the sturdier aluminum build, a cord that reaches across a room, and the model with the larger track record of owner ratings.

What reviewers say

Lasko 3733 20" Box Fan

  • 4.1 / 584 ratings

Owners rate it around 4 out of 5 and mostly treat it as a workhorse for moving air cheaply. They praise the airflow and the light weight, and many say it does the job for the money. The recurring complaints are noise at high speed and a build that feels flimsy next to older metal box fans.

What people mention
  • AirflowPraisedOwners say it moves a strong stream of air and works well in a window.
  • NoiseCriticisedReviewers find the high setting loud, though low is more tolerable.
  • BuildMixedThe plastic frame is light and easy to move but feels less solid than metal box fans.
  • ValuePraisedBuyers see it as a low-cost way to cool a room or ventilate a space.

Lasko Weather-Shield 3720 Box Fan

  • 4.2 / 5534 ratings

Owners praise the airflow and build for the price and use it in garages, shops and windows. The main complaints are noise on the top speed and the plain, bulky design.

What people mention
  • AirflowPraisedOwners say it moves noticeably more air than smaller fans and cools a room quickly.
  • NoiseCriticisedMany find the high setting too loud for sleeping or watching TV.
  • BuildPraisedReviewers describe the frame and grille as sturdy and long-lasting.
  • Window fitMixedIt fits many standard windows, but some say the frame is too deep for their sash.

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bedroom?
The 3720. Its lower speeds are quiet enough for sleeping and the long cord lets you place it away from the bed. The 3733 works too, but you may need an extension cord.
Which one lasts longer?
The 3720 has the edge. Its aluminum housing resists cracking and warping better than the 3733's frame, and its larger rating base shows fewer durability complaints over time.
Is the 3720 worth stepping up to?
For most people, yes. You get a sturdier housing, a much longer cord and more airflow. Step down to the 3733 only if weight or a smaller frame is the priority.
Will either fit a standard window?
Both have 20-inch fans, so they fit most standard double-hung windows. The 3733's shallower frame sits more flush; the 3720 is taller and deeper.
Can I use either fan outdoors?
No. Both are indoor cold-air fans. The Weather-Shield name refers to the housing design, not to weatherproofing for outdoor use.
Do both have the same number of speeds?
Yes. Both offer three speeds. The 3720 moves more air at its top setting because it draws more power.
