THE ASPEN 20" Box Fan with Remote AB-20US vs Lasko 3733 20" Box Fan

Buy the Aspen AB-20US if you want a remote, higher rated airflow, and a lighter fan with cord and feet storage. The Lasko 3733 is a basic 20-inch three-speed box fan with a long track record and no remote. The Aspen has far more owner feedback and a stronger rating, while the Lasko is simpler with fewer parts to fail. Both are plastic-bodied box fans built for windows and floors; neither is a premium build.

  • Choose the Aspen AB-20US if you want remote control, the highest airflow in this pair, and a lighter fan that is easy to carry and store.
  • Choose the Lasko 3733 if you want a plain, well-known three-speed box fan and do not need a remote.

What reviewers say

THE ASPEN 20" Box Fan with Remote AB-20US

  • 4.5 / 52,544 ratings

Ratings are strong at 4.5 out of 5 across more than 2,500 reviews. Owners mainly praise the airflow and the convenience of the remote. Complaints center on noise at the highest speed and on the remote's range and pairing.

What people mention
  • AirflowPraisedOwners say it moves noticeably more air than smaller box fans and cools a room quickly.
  • RemoteMixedThe remote is a common reason to buy, but some say it needs a clear line to the fan and occasionally misses presses.
  • NoiseCriticisedReviewers find the top speed loud, though lower speeds are more tolerable.
  • WeightPraisedAt about 6.4 lb with a handle, buyers say it is easy to move from room to window.

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.
  • ValuePraised

Questions and answers

Which is better for a bedroom?
The Aspen, because the remote lets you change speed without getting up and it moves more air. If you want the quietest option, run either on low; box fans are loud on high.
Which moves more air?
The Aspen, rated at up to 2800 CFM. Lasko does not publish a CFM figure for the 3733, so the Aspen is the safer pick for large rooms or pushing air through a window.
Which lasts longer?
Both are plastic box fans with similar life expectancy. The Lasko has fewer electronics, so there is less to break; the Aspen's remote and receiver are the parts most likely to fail first.
Is the Aspen worth stepping up to over the Lasko?
Yes if you want a remote, more airflow, and easier carrying and storage. No if you just want a basic fan and prefer fewer electronics.
Can both be used in a window?
Yes. The Aspen is designed for safe window use, and the Lasko's 20-inch size fits standard window frames. Check your window width before buying either.
