Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

It’s nice I like the looks of it all the controls and the remote are cool but I wish it would blow more air :(

I wanted a quiet fan for my office and this fan is fine at medium speed and up, but at the lower speeds it makes a bit of a grinding/rattling noise. Definitely not a smooth sound like I would expect of a fan. Unfortunate really. It doesnt look broken, the box arrived in fine condition. Im unsure if thats how it is or if mine is just broken.

Overall a great product. A large variety of speeds and runs relatively quiet at all of them; oscillates with a wide range and fits great in a corner to provide airflow to a medium sized room when you want to cool down but dont need to turn on the a/c. My only gripe is that the base feels cheap and flimsy. The fan itself will outlast its mount for sure.

The product is ok, the RPM is low that makes air flow less effective, design and looks are great, little costly compare to other brands available

I bought this after reading many good reviews of the unit. At first I was pretty happy with it, it was relatively quiet on higher settings but oddly more noisy at lower levels. If you live in a city where there is a constant hum this wont be a problem but in our quiet house the lower levels have an obvious electrical hum due to the speed control circuitry being cheap. After a year or so we started to notice a light grinding/clicking sound. After disassembling the unit to inspect what might be making the noise it was discovered that the sound was coming from the fan motor itself. After cleaning the inside of the unit and using some light oil to try to keep things running smooth I put it back together and decided to just live with it. Recently I bought another one of these and to my surprise the old one is moving about half or less of the air that the new one is. Yes, you might think well he took it apart so he just didnt put it back together correctly and I get that and cannot stop you from thinking that. On the other hand I know my way around fixing things and the fan worked exactly the same before taking it apart as after (just a bit cleaner and more lubed). What this says to me is that the fan motor and/or motor control circuitry on this unit is under-powered and is being worked too hard leading towards premature failure. A good fan should be able to last at least 5 years before any noticeable wear or failure IMO. At this point the fan puts out about as much air on high as the new one does at the white noise level. Pros: decent noise level even at higher speeds good range of speeds remote works well Cons short lifespan (1-2 years) developed clicking/grinding difficult to clean properly without taking the unit apart

I was disappointed when I opened this fan - The base is very cheap and flimsy. It didnt stay together to put the fan on. But once I did get the fan on it seems to hold it. The fan itself is ok. The speeds all work and dont make a lot of noisy even on high. On any speed you can still hear people talking or the TV and you do not have to raise your voice or turn the TV up. It blows out a lot of air as you set it higher and the highest speed can be felt 3 away maybe a little more. It does oscillate and has a dimming feature. The cord to plug it in is 5. The remote that is included is very cheap and small. It does require 2 AAA batteries not included. It worked fine that morning, but when we went to use it that night it did not work. Contacted customer service and they were very nice, prompt and helpful. But they did let me know that the remote was not a warranty item, but they would send me one as a curtesy. Also that if I would have got someone else they might not have sent me a new one. The new remote arrived very fast and works. Over all its an ok fan but when it breaks I would not purchase this one again.

PROS: +It has a sleep timer feature, while I haven’t used it it’s an option. +It oscillates and doesn’t bump anything. +It has like 8 different intensity/cool settings. +It has a “Refresh” setting, which is useful for growers and smokers. +The “White Noise” setting is useful for many applications. +It is relatively light weight so it’s easy to move when cleaning. +It doesn’t tip over easily.(Though I don’t have pets or children running around, so Good Luck.). +It is slender and fits into most spaces, so it’s great for limited space such as small apartments or lofts. +*It’s quiet enough that it doesn’t set off my gaming headset and it’s sat roughly 5ft away from me. +It does seem to actually help cool the air with its “Cool” & “Power Cool” settings. +It hasn’t started violently shaking. CONS: -It doesn’t have an adjustable height. Basically the only way to elevate it is to set it atop a stand or table. (Though like I mentioned it is relatively light in weight and it doesn’t shake, so a nightstand or small end table is a perfect fix if you have the availability.) -*It isn’t the quietest on some of its lower settings. (I’m hard of hearing and don’t mind noises when I sleep, but even I find it to be a little loud on the lower settings.) I felt the product was worth the money. It has some very simple to follow instructions for assembly. Though there are less than 10 pieces including the remote. worth it if you’re a gamer looking to stay cool, or even just to circulate air throughout an apartment. I would say it Is not durable enough to be used in a garage/shop/barn setting. Though I would buy again.

Very noisy at low speeds.

The fan is fine BUT the base will not get tight because the watcher or what ever you call it will not tighten up it turns some and then just locks

I got this for my triplets because it actually his all 3 cribs and is safe proof for the babies there all 2 years old.
