Greater than one weekI was very impressed with this fan when I bought it in May of 2020. It made a very strong breeze, enough that on the lowest setting it would blow hair away from your face from 10ft across the room. Unfortunately as time progresses the motor seems to be going out very quickly. We use the fan every night, and turn it off in the morning. When we first got it I would leave it on the lowest setting and would feel the breeze while sleeping. After a few months the lowest setting couldnt be felt more than 4ft from the fan. We switched it to the medium setting and that had the same amount of power as the lowest setting did orginally, and worked for another 3 months or so. Now you can barely feel any sort of breeze again. I am highly disappointed in how quickly this fan declined, especially considering the price paid for it. If it had kept the same amount of power it would have been a great product.

Greater than one weekA 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.

Greater than one weekI have bought this particular model fan at least 4 times previously. This purchase was made as a standby as my current fan may be on its last legs after about 3 years of daily use. The fan operates quietly largely because the fan speeds are lower than most fans but for me quiet operation is most important which is why I like it. The remote is also simple to use and assembly is easy as well. The only caution with this fan is that as it ages the blades may not spin unless you first hand spin the fan a little, much like how those old biplanes of old were started by hand spinning the props. Once this begins to happen, you know that its days are numbered.

Greater than one weekPROS: • Fairly quiet, yet provides powerful airflow, and well-built • Double bladed fan, bigger inner blades and smaller center blades to increase maximum airflow and cooling • Remote control to access settings, a great addition especially while in bed without having to get up and turn the fan on/off or adjust its settings • Automatic timer turns the fan off at a specified interval (1, 2, 4, or 8 hrs) to reduce energy costs • Solid base foundation, keeping the fan secured to ground • Oscillation is smooth and does not create creaky noises CONS: • No dedicated on/off button at the base controls, and must cycle through the 3 speed settings to turn off or via remote control • LED light at the base can be intrusive at night for those who like sleeping in a completely dark environment USEFUL INFO: • Plastic lock nut to secure the bigger and smaller blades is tighten via counter-clockwise, not the standard clockwise, to ensure it does not loosen over time when the blades are spinning counter-clockwise • When installing the 2 blades, be sure to inspect the inside center of the blades to ensure the slot lines up with the notch on the axle of the base

> 3 dayThis fan is a little smaller than I expected at 15 but I stuck with it anyway due to the price. I like the remote control (small and convenient buttons) and I do like that the fan has the oscillation features I was looking for, but it would be better as a 5 speed fan. The low setting is too high/noisy for my taste as I use this for sleeping and it blows harder than I like on some nights and due to the smaller size blades, its making more noise than my previous fan. Id prefer a lower setting and larger blades so it moves more air but is quieter while doing so. As for the high setting, it didnt quite cut it as it was too close to the low setting for what I like. Id use it after a shower to try and cool off and would prefer a much higher speed on the top end. But I think the smaller size unit at 15 is partly to blame. I also didnt care for the oscillating function when it came to stops on either end. As it rotated, you can sometimes hear a click as it rotates to the other side and that just didnt work well some nights when I was trying to sleep. As it stands now (1 year, 10 months later) it is making a LARGE grinding noise and is done with oscillating (thats why Im here writing this review as I need to shop for a new fan). So its not a bad a fan for the price, especially if you arent going to use it at night in your bedroom to sleep (ceiling fan wasnt an option for me, I sleep hot while the wife sleeps cold, so I have this fan on my side of the bed). But for me, it just didnt get the job done, so Im back looking for a more durable fan with a remote control and five speeds and hopefully a better quality oscillating gear inside.

> 3 dayI love this fan, and Ive had a lot of them. This is the quietest and strongest fan Ive had. the different breeze settings dont thrill me, but they do work. Even in oscillation mode the only noise this fan makes is the sound of air moving, no mechanical noise at all. Assembly has to be figured out by reading through the operating instructions, but it is all there, just takes some common sense. The remote controls all the functions which is great as the buttons on the fan itself are somewhat obscured beneath the large blade assembly. I dont find the blue light buttons on the fan all that bothersome, they arent that bright. So after a few weeks, not a single complaint.

Greater than one weekThis fan has been used eighteen hours per day, seven days a week since the beginning of April. It is just as quiet and reliable as the day I bought it. Cant say the extra fan blade makes any difference. Multiple breeze patterns seem gimmicky and pointless to me, others may disagree.

> 3 dayNice size, quiet fan that came with a Remote that adjusts: on/off, rotation and speed. Excellent! My experience with Honeywell fans has been really good. I just wish they made a larger size one. Great buy! UPDATE -- unfortunately the remote stopped working after a couple of weeks -- that is why I changed from 5 to 4 rating.

> 3 dayI really like my new fan. Im not good at assembling things, but by carefully following the instructions I was able to get it together. The one little problem came when I couldnt find the remote. I had kept all the packaging, so I wasnt too worried about finding it. The problem was the small folded cardboard package that was clearly marked as containing the smaller fan blade. I had cut the tape and slipped the blade out without realizing that the remote was in there, too. The remote comes without batteries and weighs next to nothing. Fortunately, I hadnt thrown it away. The fan is quiet and moves air adequately. Id prefer not to have the blue LED display on all the time, but since the fan is in my living room its not a big issue. There is a soft beep when you change settings. Theres one other thing that I dont hate, but I do think is odd. The fan is white. White base, white blades, even a white remote, but the plastic screw on piece that holds the blades in place is red. All in all Im happy with my purchase.
