Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

Very loud after 6 months. Started off fine and quiet but now is very loud and seems like it’s not oscillating correctly. Don’t recommend

I was skeptical when I bought it because I didn’t think it would cool all as quickly as it does and it’s quiet unless you crank it up. Right now I. Sitting probably 10-12 feet away and I can feel the cool breeze. Just bought another one for the bedroom which is upstairs and as most two floor homes it’s always hotter on the second floor. Hope it works as well.

Its ok, not bad. It moves air and rotates. It advertises itself as quiet, but it is really only quiet if you are on the bottom 3 settings. It makes sound when it oscillates. The remote is handy, but the light comes back on when you adjust the speed or oscillation with the remote making me have to get up and turn the light off. Unless there is a major sale I would say dont get this one.

Great tower fan!

Overall a great product. A large variety of speeds and runs relatively quiet at all of them; oscillates with a wide range and fits great in a corner to provide airflow to a medium sized room when you want to cool down but dont need to turn on the a/c. My only gripe is that the base feels cheap and flimsy. The fan itself will outlast its mount for sure.

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

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.

This fan does its job well. The many different speeds are quite useful to get a range of assistance depending on the current air temp. Even at ~80°F and at the second to max speed this fan could cool me and my room sufficiently. However, within 2 weeks of receiving this fan the servo that oscillates it back and forth started to degrade to the point that on both max points (where it switches direction) the fan shakes/is rickety such that it is too noisy. It still cools well if I turn off the oscillation and stay in front of it, but it doesn’t circulate around the room as well. This is a normal thing that happens to these types of fans but 2 WEEKS?? A little too soon…

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.

I dont think appliances should ever have blue/green/white/etc. lights on them. Why not red? Red wouldnt keep me awake at night. The blue light on this fan means it joins the air filter and the phone in my bedroom in being covered by a sock or a hat. Kind of silly. Seriously, why not just use red lights? This fan is also very tall, which means that if you are lying on the floor, the air might be too high to reach you. I had to tilt it with a book under the base in order for it to blow low enough for my purposes. The remote doesnt work well at all. This fan is very quiet on the lowest setting, and it has a nice range of settings.
