THE ASPEN 20" Box Fan with Remote AB-20US vs Lasko Weather-Shield 3720 Box Fan

Buy the Lasko 3720 if you want a proven, weather-shielded window fan with a long cord and a sturdy aluminum housing. Buy the Aspen AB-20US if you want a remote control, a lighter fan you can carry with one hand, and the highest airflow in this pair. The Aspen moves more air and is easier to move around; the Lasko feels more solid and is built for window mounting. Owners praise the Lasko's durability and the Aspen's convenience, though some Aspen buyers report the remote pairing is fussy and some Lasko owners find it heavy and loud on high.

• Choose the Aspen AB-20US if you want remote control, a 6.4 lb body with a built-in handle, and the strongest airflow of the two.
• Choose the Lasko 3720 if you need a window-mounted fan with a weather shield, a nearly 20 ft cord, and a heavier aluminum housing that reviewers say lasts.
