Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

I do like the fan, conceptually, but right out of the box it has a clunky rattle on the lowest two settings, a high pitch whine on the highest setting, and a verity of noises when I turn on the rotate feature. Other than that it’s pretty quiet, and moves a decent amount of air. The remote lacks features, but it’s not a big deal. I’m tempted to buy another one and see if I just got a lemon the first time. (Also, it’s supposed to include a small fan too, but mine didn’t come with one)

The fan is super quiet, and has 8 speed setting, plus it oscillates. Great value for the money.

Powerful little fan, small footprint, lightweight and easy to move around. THe multi funtion options gives you so many choices! The sleep one is truly quiet, but even on the highest setting its whisper quiet!!! Nothing loud like any of my other fans. Great purchase!

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.

I love this fan. If youre looking for a great fan that works well, is safe around pets and small kids and doesnt take up much space, this is perfect. Love it! Highly recommended.

w/PExitBR/Es: Quickie Review: I use all 3 at once/multiple rooms to quietly circulate air, especially bedroom. Lower settings are VERY quiet. Higher settings can be heard, but still quieter than ceiling/traditional options. Big fan of what they do for me in the bedroom & elsewhere, quieter options meet my needs regularly. Higher price worth it in long run given AC usage at higher temp settings. Who doesnt love having multiple options vs going back to the same old tired things that rarely, never get the job done when youre really hot? (If youre laughing, cynically rolling eyes, etc., its only going to get more punnier. :D) Q-FCS: Ive been burned by doing it online before, but I like what Im seeing. Some say really nice things too, but its always like that starting out. Looking for advice via highly experienced individual. Is it too good to be true? Please help. w/PExitBR/E: Funny you mention burning! Even living in Texas, hot-flashes still exist (its true)! Noise, hot, etc., wakes me up. No quality bedroom time is not cool! Quiet, effective, help w/elec. bill, etc., all very important to me. Ive had too many one-nighters in the past w/other fans (*hangs head in shame*), but this Honey & I have been going at it for a couple months now...all 4 of us (3 fans, 1 less flashy me). Remote, Sleeper function, etc., all great additions. Remote control can be snapped on/in space provided near top of fan. Though love is in my cooler, circulating air (& base design helps), these guys can suffer cheap date syndrome (wobble, fall over) if bumped into (pets, kids, 3am, dark journey to bathroom or kitchen, etc.,). However, these tall boys make up for it 10-fold. At higher fan modes w/their height, other options, they are very helpful in the bathroom, other rooms too (drying out a bathroom project, and way quieter than bigger shop fans). Even post tumble(s), they work great & are still durable & quiet. I dont know if theyre Mr. Right(s), but I do know its July in Texas & Mr. Right(s) Now works just fine. Worth the $$$. Pics were accurate, showed up looking great (package, shipping, etc.,) & easy to assemble. w/PExitBR/Es Overall Rating/Review: NO Morning After WALK OF SHAME; 4.333 AMAZONIAN GOLD STARS!!! PS-Pic/Video Requests for Fan action (1 or more) w/Tall, Silent Honey in my bedroom will not be replied to (probably). :P

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.

This fan is as advertised. It is easy to assemble, and easy to operate, and does a good job.

I literally almost cancelled my order of this fan, because after I read the reviews, it seemed like many people felt this fan wasnt very powerful. Because the price was so fair, I did not though, and I am so glad. The people who left bad reviews saying this wasnt a powerful fan... Im not sure if they live in a bottomless pit of fire or something, and thats why it doesnt work - but personally, I live in SWFL, where the temps can get in the 100s, and I think this fan is amazing. Definitely cools well, and has several different modes. If you like it quiet, they have that option. If you like some noise, they have that option as well. As far as I am concerned, this fan was a steal at the price, and I couldnt be more happy. Awesome fan!!

Ive tried two of these fans from Amazon. The motor on the first one made a high pitched whining noise on all speed levels. Very annoying and difficult to sleep with it on, even at the lowest setting. Sent it back for a replacement. The replacement was an improvement but not by much. The lower four settings are nearly silent which is great, but the on higher four settings the motor whine comes back. The fan doesnt move as much air as other tower fans so it lacks the louder whooshing sound that might drown out the motor noise. I think the motor is of poor quality judging by the whine and the number of complaints of it failing within a year. Ive had other tower fans that still have silent motors after years of use. This fan is quite compact so the turbine is smaller and tightly packed with little blades. This may make the fan quiet on the low settings but seems to keep it from pushing a lot of wind on high and generating good white noise for sleeping. It is a new idea I guess but it wasnt well executed or tested before being rolled out. The remote isnt great as others have noted. It has power, oscillate and speed buttons but no way to turn down the bright LED light on the fan. There is a button on the fan to dim or turn off the light but for some reason has five brightness levels. Really on/off would be sufficient. And any change made to the fan settings turns the light on full brightness again. So without a light button on the remote, you need to go over to the fan and press the light button five times anytime you change the fan settings and want the light off again. The multiple speed settings are overkill as well as there is not much difference between the first three, the middle three and the top two. Low medium and high would be fine, especially since the fan doesnt get very high. The fan remote sensor is very sensitive and has a wide range of signals it will accept. Ive found two different tv remotes and my stereo remote all affect the fan in unexpected ways. the same button on my tv remote will sometimes turn the fan on or off, start it oscilating, change the fan speed or have no effect at all. The results arent consistent and even when the remote is pointed away and the fan is facing a different direction, it can pick up stray signals and behave like its haunted. I do like the compact footprint, silent lower speeds when watching TV and the adjustable light. It also doesnt make loud beeping noises when changing settings which I hate on my other fans. It seems Honeywell had some good ideas that stayed half-baked and badly thought through and that carried forward to the design and quality control. For the price, this should be a much better, more polished unit. My second one is going back and Ill look for a different fan.
