I did this DIY and I'm happy with the result. It should be noticed that the box fan sucks air in through the perimeter (corners especially) of the front grill. To achieve optimal filtering one has to tape or somehow cover that perimeter area. The Air Flex front grill does not take this into account.

Because there isn't a shroud on the front of the fan, or because the fan box isn't circular there is space in the corners - between the square corner and the fan blade, that some air is sucked in from the front grill - its negligible and not worth paying attention to unless you really want to geek out about it - put the filter on the back of the fan.

I actually saw this fan on ebay when looking for an older model of their weather-shield fan and I think I'm going to go with this. I have year round allergies plus I have a pretty expensive gaming rig that is constantly getting dusty. I run my regular 20 inch lasko fan almost year round so to get the benefit of cooling my room and filtering and cleaning the air is a really nice added bonus. Update: Just ordered one from Amazon using your link, and it was cheaper then ebay which had it priced at $75.00

I have been using bungee chords to hold furnace filters onto my box fans for several years. Our box fans run 24/7/365 for not only air circulation but "white noise" to sleep as well. A standard box fan WITHOUT a furnace lasts for about 2 years before it dies. WITH the furnace filter a standard box fan lasts 3-4 years. (Our furnace is from 1986 with the very thin filter that comes in a roll that really doesn't do much other than catch dust bunnies and it really doesn't do anything for the fact that we have long hair cats). Adding the furnace filters to our box fans has made our indoor air much cleaner and in my experience the traditional air filters circulate as much air on high as a box fan does on low. Not to mention, a box fan is MUCH CHEAPER to replace when it dies and it is all standard sizing. We also decide what level of filtration we want in our home at any given time of year.

Appreciate this helpful review! I just did a DIY version of the single filter/fan option (we have a small living space) but I could see looking into the Lasko Airflex down the road or recommending to family/friends. I was wondering if you have done any variants on the DIY option with a 20x20x2 filter or something even thicker like 20x20x5 and if the filtration improves in those cases. Thanks again for the clear, to the point video!

@GanderFlight Жыл бұрын

You're welcome! I haven't done any additional testing on those larger depth filters - but I'd grab some painters tape and just tape it to the back of the box fan and call it a day. You'd probably get faster airflow through that filter as well.

Hi. How does this compare to a 4 side box? Is the 4 side box 4 times better? Is the 2in1 enough for a living room and the kitchen area? Or will I need a bigger one for that? And how loud is the fan, please?

@GanderFlight 7 ай бұрын

The 4 sided box will last longer and allow for more airflow - but you'll have to buy 4 filters upfront and it takes up a significant amount of footprint space. As far as is it big enough for your living room and kitchen area - it depends - how large are your living room and kitchen areas? It also depends on how often you want the air in the room pulled through the filter - this will filter your living room/kitchen area eventually but it'll all depend on how much volume of air is in that space as to how often it will filter the whole room. As far as volume -sorry I don't have any measurements on that to share with you - but it is a fan and therefore not silent, even on low you'll hear it running. If you're looking for something silent you'll want to check out air filters purpose made to be quiet.

The first time I made a box fan air filter, the box fan burned after after a month. I wasn't impressed. What I ended up doing was using the old box fan case as a filter holder. The filter is pressed against weather stripping and held in place by bungee straps. The back was enclosed with cardboard except for a hole for a dryer vent connector. A dryer hose connector was glued over the inlet of a floor blower, and the filter holder and floor blower are connected with a dryer hose. It's worked for a number of years with constant use. To be honest, it's probably quieter than a box fan even though it produces a lot of white noise. It covers up my tinnitus and helps me sleep.

I used a spacer to prevent air deadzones. My entire filter turns gray, there is no gray circle in the middle.

Spacer between the filter and the back of the fan grate?

I thought these would be $30 but they're $60. how is that competitive to a $20 lasko, a $5 filter and some tape ?

@GanderFlight 4 ай бұрын

Because you're not getting a merv 10 or 13 filter for $5....

Welp, the main downside of the Lasko Air Flex for me is that it "does not meet California air cleaner regulation requirements, and cannot be shipped to California" :/

Does it use too much power or something?

I cut a circle in the filter where the motor is so the motor doesn't get hot and burn out or burn down your house 🐾💗

Great concept but Lasko hurries to market and didn’t quality assure the sides don’t seal or overlap lap and seal therefore sucks is air all around fan and air all around sucked in bypasses filter. Plus they don’t make it for a 2 inch filter. one still needs tape to seal around filter holder so why buy just add a filter any dive and tape it or like is a better seal that Lasko overlooked to get to market BA

You can literally just tape it on... Or even not that. Sucktion it to the back of the fan..

You could and it would mostly stay in place as long as the fan is running

@@GanderFlight Yeah that's the exact video I seen where I learned that hack except I used the j channel. Thanks for saving me money. However in other videos I recommended doing this and boy did I get trolled on. Not everybody lives in the ghetto and that's low class very tacky and so on. Just for trying to help save a person money. I could only imagine the comments you got when you made that video. Myself I think its great and doesn't look low class to me

Nope - no sponsorship here. Have been using the DIY version for years - have two other videos up about those - and bough this with my own money. Have a good day.
