Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

purchased this tower fan on June 28th 2020, honey well being a trusted brand I felt confident. initially the fan worked great, quiet, powerful, very nice. by the 2nd or 3rd day it started to function oddly. would turn off by itself, oscillate on its own, speed settings would change without touch the controls. I believe the remote for my tv was the cause of the issue, perhaps a cross of frequencies. would work ok if I didnt point the tv remote towards the fan. I can live with that. by the 5th or 6th day the fan itself just stopped working. the control panel and remote were still live and you could see the settings being changed however the actual fan blades would not spin therefore the unit would produce no air flow. quite disappointed to say the least. In light of this inconvenience amazon took care of the issue quite well. sent me a replacement model the following business day at no charge pending the return of the defective model. I have sent back the original order and now have the replacement. so far it is working great and I hope to not have an problems 2nd time around. despite that first fan being defective I am willing to try another one and amazon has provided excellent customer service.

Weve been impressed with this fan since purchase nearly three months back. We do have to prop it atop a foot high box for it to be able to blow on us while we sleep (it is tall, but not that tall). Its also virtually soundless unless you use the highest speeds, so perfect for those who wish to keep this in their bedroom like we do. I would purchase this model again without hesitation. That being said, a couple days ago our fan developed a clicking tick during rotation. We could not determine the source, only that the sound stemmed from the motor when rotating the fan about - when it wasnt rotating the noise was absent. Fortunately, we are four days shy of our 90-day-guarentee purchase warranty and so I spoke to amazon tech support. The gentleman who helped me was phenomenal, he went completely above and beyond, even connected me to the Honeywell company. They, too, were also outstanding with their assistance and are sending a replacement fan immediately. So, as I said above, I wouldnt hesitate to buy this model again, or to buy a Honeywell product over all.

This thing is great! I love how many options of speed there are, and the range on the oscillation setting is massive, it truly reaches the whole room. I have this in my master room for air flow/cooling and also white noise at night, and it is super at both. The lowest setting is almost undetectably quiet but still puts out a good bit of air flow. The highest setting is pretty dang powerful for such a small fan, with a still very quiet sound, and really truly cools down the room (doesn’t just move air), or at least feels like it. It’s honestly almost not loud enough, my last fan was way loud so I was used to it. I LOVE the option on top to turn down the light on the display; it can dim it to three or four different levels, the lowest being off- which is super nice for at night. The remote is cool, I need to get batteries for it but it seems convenient. Installation was the easiest ever, you just unscrew the red thing from the base, snap the two base pieces together w/ the cord in the middle, and screw the red thing all the way down. Took like 30 seconds. It looks super nice also, it’s super lightweight but doesn’t look cheap. Hoping it lasts a long long time! 10/10 recommend!

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

Ordered one. It arrived with a rattle on the lower settings. Returned it and got a replacement. 2nd one rattled slightly less so I kept it. Clearly the fan is not built well enough or packaged well enough to be shipped. Probably a fine in person buy but it’s definitely not going to work 100% if you get it through the mail.

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.

Really pleased with this portable unit. It is quiet and has nice controls that are easy to use/push/set to your needs. Slim design means it does not take up space - mine sits right next to the kitchen island for use in the kitchen. No remote control but not needed for my use. 5 star.

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.

This fan works so well we bought multiple for our home its not too bulky and doesnt take up too much space. The speed levels are nice cause it can be very mellow to a stronger air flow. It also is pretty quiet as far as fans go. Would recommend!

This remote has poor range and the buttoms are hard to use. You have to press them exactly right or they dont work. The fan was quiet at first but after about 4 months it started to get noisy.
