I've been wanting their model B20725 all metal box fan since it came out in 2014. Now that I started collecting, I decided I'm going to pull the trigger and get one and of course, there are none to be found anywhere online. There is only one available on eBay for $346, I was willing to pay the $80-90 they were selling for in the past, but not over 300.

I contacted Lasko earlier and they still make it, but the only two stores that are carrying it this year are Wayfair and Staples, both of which are out of stock. Wayfair says it will be back in stock by August. Hopefully that means that there is enough demand if they sold out.

Lasko doesn't offer it for sale themselves?
If it's sold out everywhere then there must be demand,, I just find it hard to believe there are that many people willing to pay such a high price for a box fan..

Wayfair said they stopped carrying it, and shortly after that they removed it from their website. I'm not sure what that means for the fate of this fan.

Unfortunately Lasko does not sell directly to customers. But it is sold out everywhere online. I even searched through hundreds of results for "Lasko box fan" and couldn't find it in stock anywhere. I might just try to order the Dayton version from Grainger.

Very strange.. Seems like all of a sudden it just got super rare..
What is this Dayton version you speak of?

I like the logo that the Lasko version has, it looks like the old Lasko box fans from the 50s.

For how much and from where? I found it on Walmart's website and it was sold through Zoro. I'm not particularly proud of how much I paid, but it was $126. Pics will be posted as soon as I get the time. |

I'm with you, I love that the Lasko badge looked so vintage. At least this is essentially the same fan, maybe someday you can swap badges if a parts fan or something comes along.
