Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

Even though it’s my favorite van, the first three settings are all the same airflow.

This fan is quiet and blows a lot of air. The remote is a bit silly but the rest of the build is excellent.

I ordered this fan for an elderly family member and when I visited them they showed me the box the fan was received in. The entire corner of the box was damaged. When we opened the box, the fan looked like it had been used OR it was damaged during shipment. Furthermore, the oscillating option didnt work after putting the tower together. We returned the first one and promptly received the replacement. This fan is very easy to assemble and the amount of options for air output is incredible. The highest setting puts out a ton of air and the lower setting options are super quiet with plenty of air output, too. I think its best feature is the amount of space it doesnt take up. Very nice fan for a great price.

I wanted a fan that could circulate air in my office while Im on meetings, without creating a bunch of background white noise. I tried an Optimus table fan, which was too loud to cancel out. I tried another tower fan, a Lasko 42 tower fan, which is equally loud on its lowest setting (but also moves a lot of air). THis one is phenomenally quiet. It is barely audible even in an extremely quiet, sound-isolated library/office room. On its lowest mode it is sufficient to feel a breeze clear across the room, 15 feet away. I wish it was a bit more aesthetically appealing - wood-grain fascia like the Lasko fan, or different color options / combinations that could be more interesting, more pleasing to look at, amid different decors. The remote control is also a very odd thing. Its shaped like a little box, not hand-shaped like any normal remote control, longer and slender. That having been said, it works well. Theres a small rattle noise that comes from the motor - whatever worm gear oscillates the fan back and forth. It seems this should be designed not to make extra noise, and maybe to be greased with some durable grease - white lithium or the like. This would render the entire device effectively inaudible, in all but the quietest environments and to those with the most acute of hearing. All that having been said, it is so quiet and works so well that I felt compelled to write a review. Its just a fan - but it does as it reads on the label. It is very quiet.

I love this fan! It has tons of settings and comes with a simple remote. The best feature is being able to turn off the power light that all electronics seem to have.

i had this fan for years now and its still cool and strong highly recommend 10/10

TLDR: Only used a few times, quit working. Warranty not worth the paper its written on. Amazon return time is only 30 days -- if buying, consider buying elsewhere (Target and Walmart, for example, both allow 90 days on this item) just in case yours stops working as quickly as mine did. ---- Bought this fan in April, proud of myself for this year preparing ahead of time for the hot summer heat! Had read all the reviews -- fan comes highly recommended. And indeed it looked great out of the box. Set it out and tried it once or twice, just to make sure I knew how to operate it, then awaited the summer heat. Summer arrived a few weeks later. The first hot night I happily switched on my new Honeywell tower fan and drifted off to sleep to a gentle breeze. Unfortunately I woke up drenched in sweat, with a fan that was still oscillating but blowing no air at all. Thought surely I had misunderstood some setting, maybe had accidentally hit the sleep button that would tell it to shut off after a few hours or something (but unclear why it would still be oscillating if that were the case). Scoured the manual, double checked all the settings, couldnt find anything mysterious, so decided to try again the next night. Again...gentle breeze when i went to bed...by morning a rotating tower blowing no air. This time I felt the sides of the tower and realized they were very warm to the touch. After a few more attempts (this time during waking hours so I could monitor) the same thing happened -- shuts off after not much time, sides warm to touch... Seems like the motor must be overheating after a certain timeframe, at which point it shuts off and stops blowing air. Checked the return time on Amazon -- should have done that before I bought. Has anyone else noticed those return windows getting shorter and shorter??? Turns out the return window is only 30 days, and by this point I was past that (thatll teach me not to prepare ahead of time!) FYI, other retailers offer much longer than that -- Target and Walmart, for example, both offer 90 day returns (with the added benefit of being able to walk the item into a store to return it, not having to package it up for shipping) So I checked the warranty. Evidently in order to make use of the Honeywell 1-year warranty, I have to package the item up, ship it at my expense to El Paso, for some reason still send THEM a $10 check for shipping and handling, and hope that eventually itll show up back at my doorstep (probably long after the summer heat has subsided...but maybe thats just me being pessimistic). And yes, I tried calling the 800 number -- the one listed on Amazon is incorrect, but the way...the guy on the other end listened politely to my plight, and then told me the number I called wasnt the one I needed to call for this product, and hung up before I could ask him for the proper number. A search on the Honeywell site led me to another number, but after several lengthly attempts trying to get through all the various phone prompts, I still hadnt reached anyone who could help me with this issue. So...might be a good choice in fans, assuming yours actually works! But just on the off chance you experience the same issue I did, if you decide to go with this fan at the very least make note of the return policy and consider buying elsewhere.

Works great on the first year but getting squeaky, I assume it got dirty fairy easy if you have a hairy pet

I like the number of different speeds, it’s quite I had no problems with any of them.

We bought two. I use one for my hydroponics set up.
