Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

This is a very good fan, the blowing power is amazing keeps it nice and cool in the room. My only complaint is when I ordered the black unit it said it came with a mini tower table fan when I got my package only one box was delivered, so I called Amazon and Amazon told me “well no that’s part of the description you do not actually get a mini tower fan.” Save yourself $20 and buy the white one It’ll still work the same. Would not even offer to credit the difference. I was told to return and order the white one if I wanted the $20 back. Do better Amazon. :-(

To begin with, no fan is a substitute of an AC system, those that use one need to understand thermodynamics, AC units remove the heat from the room and have super-cooling methods that wouldnt be used in a fan. To get air OUT of a room, you need an exit, an open door, window, etc. I use mine in support of our AC unit, which is all the way in the living room (and struggles to reach my room). Fans are mainly intended to keep the air circulating, but by doing so also slightly (but noticeably in enclosed environments, far more than in open) increase the temperature as a byproduct. However, fans do make it more bearable, and make a significant difference when centered onto the person in question. Its a rather quiet, and tall fan, as opposed to the arguably much stronger, less efficient, and louder box fan that I used to have. This fan does rotate, has multiple settings including ones (that at the lower levels) are little more than white noise, meaning it can be used to give a slight cooling sensation, without being overwhelming, while also staying just loud enough to drown out the disturbances of the night, an owl hooting at an odd hour, birds flying around, etc. Is it perfect, no, in my case my bed happens to be too tall (which I had just set up a day prior to receiving the fan) to make the full use of the fan at night, however the white noise helps with sleeping, and it still does keep a good deal of the heat off at night. I would recommend it to someone who understood what they were looking for in a fan, and what they would be getting. If you are looking for a fan, not an AC unit, this is something that I would recommend.

Overall, I love this fan. It is very quite on low settings, and does increase slightly as you turn it up ( 8 fan settings ) But, Its not bad. I purchased a regular pedistal fan before I found this one that sounds like a jet engine taking off! So the Honeywell one is not noisy at all. I love white noise at night anyway! The Cons and reason for 4 stars vs 5: I dont like the generic remote control. The remote should have all the same features as the fan itself! This one is on/off, reciprocate and fan speed only. If you use it in the bedroom and dont like bright blue lights, the remote is no good. You have to manually turn the blue light off at the fan. And, anytime you make an adjustment to the speed or anything else, the blue light comes back on. Also, once you turn the fan off, it doesnt remember your settings other than the fan speed (the blue light comes on, if you like it to reciprocate, you have to set that up again) . The work around... I set the fan up the way I like it prior to getting into bed at night and hope that I dont need to adjust it during the night.

I literally almost cancelled my order of this fan, because after I read the reviews, it seemed like many people felt this fan wasnt very powerful. Because the price was so fair, I did not though, and I am so glad. The people who left bad reviews saying this wasnt a powerful fan... Im not sure if they live in a bottomless pit of fire or something, and thats why it doesnt work - but personally, I live in SWFL, where the temps can get in the 100s, and I think this fan is amazing. Definitely cools well, and has several different modes. If you like it quiet, they have that option. If you like some noise, they have that option as well. As far as I am concerned, this fan was a steal at the price, and I couldnt be more happy. Awesome fan!!

cant rate the options because I cant get the fan together. The directions are poor. I simply have to put the fan onto the base but no indication which is the back. Nor when adding the fan to the base it doesnt connect with anything at all. I finally got it together and have to admit it is extremely quiet and I am very pleased with it

I bought this for a large 4 seasons room that is all windows facing south and west. This (in addition to mini split AC) has kept the room quite comfortable and cool. Very quiet as well. Thank you
