Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

While the fan is running, its great. I love being able to control the speed with finer granularity than just low/med/hi. At its lowest, it provides adequate air movement with low (but still audible) noise. I keep the fan about 15 feet from my pillow. I also love the small footprint. It fits nicely in the corner between two doors in our bedroom. If only I had an outlet in said corner, but thats my fault, not the fans. That said, I hope you never need to turn on or adjust the fan speed in the middle of the night while your significant other is sleeping. 1. When turned on, the fan starts out at the highest speed before settling down to whatever is set. Meaning its LOUD when first turned on. Not great while trying to keep quiet. 2. The buttons on the unit make a very audible CLICK. Not great while trying to keep quiet. 3. The buttons on the remote ALSO make a very audible CLICK. Not great while trying to keep quiet. 4. There is no way to *lower* the fan speed. The buttons only make it faster and then wrap around after hitting the max. Not great while trying to keep quiet. So yeah. Decent fan. Just steer clear if you expect to adjust it in the middle of the night with a light-sleeping partner.

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.

My friend has one of these in every room of her house and I see why! Keeps rooms cool and Im hoping that will cut down on my air-conditioning cost this year. I love the different air functions and speeds. Cant wait to order more.

Let’s be real, this is a fan and not an ac unit. It won’t cool down the house much. I live in area where we don’t have that many hot days, average 60-70 degrees. The days when it went to 90 degrees, I sure didn’t feel like the fan cool the house down at all. It work like any other Dan, blowing air on you. It is strong thought, don’t get me wrong but not cooling strong. Love how’s there several settings and more quiet than other fans I got, not whisper quiet though cause again, it’s a fan.

First of all, let me say what a nice-looking fan this is. I spent too much time picking the decor for my little abode to want to have an ugly fan sitting around! Of course, right now, I have it sitting in the doorway of my bedroom (classy, I know!) because Im seeing how well it cools the room down. As for the rest of the positives: This fan is SOOOO quiet that, at first, I doubted that it would be very cooling. I was wrong. Once I got this assembled (very easy, btw) & figured out the controls (not too hard), I turned my AC off! LOL Being from Alaska, this Iowa heat and humidity is taking some getting used to. Also, Im not very familiar with AC and the costs (except for a horrendous bill in Arizona several years back). My apartment is a nice-sized 1 bedroom, 1 bath, kitchen and living room. There is a ceiling fan in bedroom, but at night, it still can get warm. Since this fan is doing so great at cooling the whole front of the apartment, I plan to put it in doorway of bedroom during the nights. With my AC off right now, I am totally comfortable. Its only 75 degrees out this morning, so I will see how well this helps when the temps rise (the other day, it was around 90). Even if I have to use this in conjunction with AC, I will be able to power the AC down a bit to help with the bill. By the way, having a remote will be super nice - when I get the AAA batteries that were not included. A plus is that the remote stores so neatly in the back of the fan. NOTE: For assembly, its easier it you follow the pictures/directions on the box flap rather than using the booklet. The booklet makes it seem more complicated than it really is.

I am doing my best to save money thanks to COVID-19, so the plan was to avoid turning on the AC for as long as possible. I was drawn to this fan because I wanted something I could move around somewhat easily, and didn’t want it to be an eyesore. I will say this fan is very quiet; you can hardly tell it’s on. Because we have this in the living room, so it’s on while we’re watching tv, and I plan to keep it next to me while I work from home and on conference calls all day, I give it 5 stars for noise level and its sleek appeal. We can have it on full blast next to the tv and it hardly interferes. It’s lightweight and can easily be moved to other areas of the house at any time. However, I am disappointed in its power. The other fan system we have in the house is a window fan, and I think this unit’s highest setting is comparable to the low or medium setting on the window fan. If you’re looking for power, I’d keep looking. But if you need something quiet with a sleek look, this may be the right unit for you. The remote is also a plus for us, since we keep it near the tv in the living room and the remote is kept with our other remotes.

Ive bought several of the previous model for various rooms in my house, and Im not happy with this latest model. Pros: Its cheaper than the last model, but I think its cheaper for a reason... The setup was definitely easier than the previous model, and it might be more stable, but I think thats where the pros end. Cons: First off, its not as powerful as the previous model. I think the highest setting is equal to the lowest setting on the previous model. They removed the internal dust screen. That dust screen was incredible and much needed with our pets. I had to buy an external dust screen that really restricts the airflow even more. Some of the buttons on the remote will activate settings on the older fans, so its basically useless.

Great fan super quiet -fourth one Im buying. Ive had three of them for five years still working great just needed another - highly recommend.

Amazon makes purchasing this item for our senior clients extremely easy. Delivers to their doo, but we pick up the bill.

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.
