Honeywell Double Blade 16 Pedestal Fan Black With Remote Control, Oscillation, Auto-Off & 3 Power Settings

It took longer to unpackage it than to put it together. Five minutes without instructions. 3 speeds. Low puts out what feels like the equivalent to high on my old tower fan and is what I would consider to be very quiet. I would describe the high setting as almost ridiculous for a fan of this size and surprisingly quiet for the amount of air it’s pulling through it. Really impressive wind to noise ratio. Nowhere near as loud as my last box fan and pretty close to the same output. Anyone who says this fan is too weak for a bedroom should be looking at wind tunnels and not budget room fans. The 3 modes are steady state, breezy, and variable (night). Breezy runs pretty strong and simulates a gusting breeze. The night setting seems very similar but with a wider spread between high and low (almost coming to a stop at times). The oscillation is a medium quick 90°. No rattles, vibration, or clicking from the unit. Overall it seems smooth and quiet. Round base isn’t super heavy so not too bad to move it around. It feels stable enough but a mildly rambunctious dog or kid could knock it over. Slight negatives: no batteries for the remote (c’mon Honeywell...) Not a ton of vertical adjustment. You get about 5” from lowest to highest. The low speed setting is still pretty strong. The night mode still “gusts” fairly strongly, even on the lowest speed. I’ve never had a fan with a remote before but now that I have one it’s kind of handy. Unless this thing dies after a few months I have no complaints and would deem this to be a solid buy. I’m already thinking about getting another one.

My Duracraft fan was a gift for my wife and I when we we got married. over 20 years later it finally started to die. We live in a ridiculously hot state (AZ) and ran it every night for a decade, then the next decade I ran it in the window of our dining room into my office to save money on A/C costs. I didnt think anything could replace this fan... so I started looking for another Duracraft pedestal fan... but they no longer exist. Honeywell apparently bought duracraft and now make a similar pedestal fan but even better. I hope this fan stands the test of time as well! It is fairly quiet even thought I run it on high most of the day. The remote is amazing! No more reaching into the window and turning off the fan by hand.

The fan was very easy to put together and is easy to use. Make sure to line up the alignment pins on the blades when assembling it. It has good air flow. The noise level is a little high, but not too bad even at max speed. Its a fan... what do you expect? It has a nice weighted base that keeps the fan stable. The height isnt as adjustable as I expected (theres a difference of only about 8-10 from top to bottom heights), but that isnt a problem for me. The post screws down onto the base so that you dont have to worry about the base coming off when moving it and theres a screw on the top part that holds it in place to the post. However, that screw on the top part isnt great and probably wont last being tightened many times. But once set up, you should never need to tighten it or loosen it, so that shouldnt be a problem. The fan screen is metal and the clips holding the front to the back are metal, but seem to be flimsy, so be careful using them. If they end up breaking off at some point, zip ties work wonders for fan screens... just cut off the excess lengths after tying them on. I havent used the remote as I dont have the batteries to fit it and I dont have any real use for a remote anyhow. I either have the fan on or off and that can easily be changed by pressing the button on the fan without having to track down a remote. I wanted to clear up a few things I saw in other reviews prior to buying this. Hopefully this will help anyone who had those issues. * If you are missing the small fan blade and remote, check ALL the cardboard as they are both in the same small piece of cardboard that can easily be missed. * The nut that holds the blades on does not unscrew counter-clockwise like youd expect. Turn it to the right (clockwise) as the directions indicate and it will unscrew easily. This opposite threading prevents it from coming unscrewed as the blade spins. * If your fan is speeding up and slowing down, this is one of the settings. You can disable that easily. If you press the ... button, you cycle between three fan settings. One will stay on at full speed, one will cycle fast and slow. I havent tested the third, but its probably something between those two options. This setting changes the lighted up icons on the right side. For constant full speed, you should have it set to the bottom icon on the right side. * If you arent getting a lot of air flow, change the fan speed by pressing the power button. This changes the lighted up icons on the left side. The top icon is max speed. Note that it isnt going to be as good as a box fan or commercial fan, but its still good. I currently have mine sitting about 13 feet away from me and its hitting me very well. It could be better, but I could also move the fan closer if I really wanted to.

So, I bought this fan with no intention to use the remote, so I have no idea how the remote works, I havent even put batteries in it. This review is for the fan and not the remote. First things first this fan is NOT all metal, the exterior seems to be very sturdy with a lot of metal used on the outside, but the blades are plastic. Another thing is that the second set of blades are very, very small, might as well only have one set of blades, since I doubt the second pair even does much of anything. Other than that I enjoy this fan, its as described, seems sturdy, noise level is good, more quite than what Im used to, so if you like loud fans like I do this one isnt very loud. Though thats probably more of a pro than a con for most people. Moves a decent amount of air and Ill absolutely be using it all throughout the hot California summers.

Keeps cool enough when not terribly hot and humid reducing the need for AC - as long as temps are below 90 degrees, the purchase was worth it.

Excellent and quiet air flow.

I’m commenting on the Honeywell fan that I bought last year. It’s quiet, seems reliable but it’s failing as it doesn’t push much air so it’s a nice idea maybe for the bedroom light is not going to do anything to clear a room or to circulate a good amount of air I’ve been quite a bit of money for it so I’m disappointed by that. As well constructed with great metal grates in the front and the back which make it much easier to deal with dust and hair plastic fans make a messand I’m constantly having to clean them, so I only buy metal grated fans now. Good thing about this Spanish you can set a time on right on the physical unit from 14 or eight hours and I check them periodically. If the unit gets warm I shut it off and give it a rest. With the heat we’ve been having I am now working with five or six fans throughout the house. Trying to find a strong fan that is safe, Stable and can be left on for a while with me not in the room. That’s what has to be, given our warming environment, It’s a nice looking fan and I wish they gave it a little bit more power that would make it perfect I hope the engineers will do that we need it and we don’t have a lot of Safe fans that will last I’m hoping to swell but as I said it doesn’t cool very well.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE my fan !! I’ve had it two years and it still works like it’s new! I’ve never had any issues, super easy to assemble. Easy to take apart and clean. Highly recommend!!! Love my Honeywell fan. !!!

This fan is worth the price. We bought 3 of these, my family loved mine so much I had to get more. Lots of good air and different amount of settings. Batteries don’t come included but it’s still worth the price.

A very sturdy fan with heavy circular base compared to a previous flimsy fan we owned. Fairly easy to assemble but the adjustable stand was difficult to extend at first but eventually worked. The remote works perfectly. Its quiet even with the double blades. No complaints so far and highly recommend.
