Lasko B20200 20" Classic Box Fan
D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.
The unplug test
Nothing changes. This fan has no network connection to lose: it is a motor, three blades, a metal cage, and a rotary switch with three positions. You plug it in and turn the dial; there is no app, no pairing step, and no cloud service that could go down.
Why this tier: Manufacturer's own instructions describe exactly two operating steps — plug into a standard outlet and turn a rotary switch to pick a speed — with no electronics beyond the motor and switch. Lasko Products LLC (FCC grantee 2ATSJ) holds grants for a Bluetooth-equipped 'BLE FAN' and an outdoor fan with a radio, so the vendor demonstrably files when a fan has wireless hardware, and no grant of any kind exists for the B20200.

Class A is primary (manual, FCC filing, teardown). Class B is corroborated community reporting. Class C is never sufficient alone.

Manufacturer product page: 3-speed box fan with top-mounted rotary control, weather-resistant motor rated for window use, 1,710 CFM airflow. No app, wifi, Bluetooth, or remote feature listed anywhere in the description or specification table. — accessed 2026-09-02 - B https://www.manua.ls/lasko/b20200/manual
Reproduces the manufacturer's own instruction sheet verbatim: 'Plug the Fan into any standard 120V AC household outlet' and 'Using the rotary switch, set the desired Fan speed' are the entire operating instructions — confirms mechanical rotary switch is the sole control. — accessed 2026-09-02 - A https://fccid.io/2ATSJ
Sibling control: Lasko Products LLC, grantee code 2ATSJ, holds FCC grants for 2ATSJ-YF200 ('YF200 Outdoor Fan') and 2ATSJT42905 ('BLE FAN', a Bluetooth Low Energy model). No grant exists for B20200 or B20201, confirming the vendor files for its radio-equipped fans and the absence here is meaningful, not an unfiled gap. — accessed 2026-09-02
