Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Oscillating Tower filter Fan with Remote, White, HYF260

We discovered this in the condo we rented on St. Thomas and were impressed. I looked it up and read some not glowing reviews. The discovered a friend had one and she liked it. So we bought one. It replaced an oscillating pedestal fan. While there was nothing wrong with the pedestal, this one is much quieter and does a good job cooling us down and takes less floor space. I have no regrets.

Works extremely good, cools better than most other fans. Something about the air is cooler. It has several wind speeds and is pretty quiet. I love the fact it has a remote control. The size is perfect for any room, and fan can even be used on a timer.

I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep without this fan again. First of all, its sleek design makes it easy to fit anywhere in your room without it looking bulky or out of place. It has different settings from low to high, including a white noise setting so not only does it keep you cool but drowns out any other noises. It's oscillating feature makes it easy to access every inch of the room it's in. I keep it pretty close to my bed so typically the low setting is enough to keep me cool throughout the night. I was surprised at the exceptional quality received for the price I paid. I never used to sleep with a fan and now I don't think I'll be able to sleep without it.

Lots of words have been written regarding the different types of fans: the newer tower fans, like this Honeywell HYF260 or the traditional round multi-blade fans we grew up with. As much as I prefer a traditional large floor fan, there are plenty of times when that's not an option because of limited space or noise. This Honeywell Tower is a great solution for this type of situation. The white version allows it to blend with most corners and included remote control allows for convenient setting adjustments to suit your needs. It's pretty quiet for the first couple of settings but definitely lets its presence be known when you're at maximum speed. Not horribly so to where you can't hear yourself think - but definitely it can be heard in the room. Depending on the ambient temperature, the tower definitely keeps our un air-conditioned social area comfortable with 10 people in the room. Like most reviews, things are relative depending on your expectations: it's not an AC unit so we did not expect some mystic transformation. However, it's a compact and unobtrusive fan that definitely makes most rooms more comfortable when it's on. A good value and worth considering.

I have had a lifelong obsession with fans. I've always been hot-natured, plus the airflow and white noise are soothing for my anxiety. I have used this fan at least 8 hours every day for 5-1/2 years, and it is still blowing strong! I have used all kinds of box and oscillating fans, which can move a lot of air, but are bulky and usually loud. This tower fan is great for small spaces, and the sound is very pleasing and consistent for sleep with no rattles or whining. My only small complaint is that it is really hard to take it apart for cleaning - so this may not be a good fan for someone with severe allergies, especially if they have reduced mobility or dexterity. Wikihow has some decent directions, but not entirely accurate, and it is a real booger to get the casing apart! There are 7 screws in the back - 4 Phillips and 3 star-shaped. The back half of the casing clips into the front half (which is probably why the fan is so quiet - it doesn't depend on just the screws to stay together). Someone with large hands might be able to squeeze the back half to release the clips, but I couldn't. The only way I could separate the two parts was to lay the fan on its side with the seam facing up and gently press with my knee from the back half toward the front half. I did this 2-3 times down each side to pop the clips individually. Then there are 3 Phillips screws inside holding the blade cylinder in place. I gave the cylinder a good scrub in the sink with a skinny brush intended for cleaning drinking straws. I put a towel on the floor under the fan itself and cleaned it with Dawn Powerwash and a 1" brush, taking care not to get the motor wet. It turned out great and was easy to put back together. I'm sure at some point I will break those clips during disassembly, but I'm fully prepared to buy another one of these fans when the time comes!

This fan was extremely easy to assemble - I used a screwdriver and my hands. There were just a few steps that took me less than 10 minutes to complete. Once assembled, the fan worked SO WELL! There are 5 speed settings, a button for swivel, a button for a timer, a button for the power, and a button for the speed. We don't use the remote since we leave this fan on 24/7. We keep this on when we sleep and use the 3rd sleep option. This is just loud enough for my spouse who likes the fan sound for sleeping, but not so loud that it bothers me when I sleep with silicone earwax (spouse snores and I'm a light sleeper). The lights on the top of the fan turn off after about 5-10 seconds - this was a setting from out of the box. I don't care to change this, especially since I don't like sleeping with any visible light in the room. When we need to cool down from a workout, we put it on the top speed and it quickly cools us down. This top speed is very loud, so we don't use it when watching TV. During the day, we keep this on the lowest or 2nd to lowest setting since we aren't in the bedroom much. It keeps the airflow (apartment with no ceiling fan) going for our dogs. When watching TV, the 3 lowest speeds aren't too loud (sits next to TV). I wanted this in black, but didn't mind paying less for the white model. The white is a matte white that is very pure in color. If you are still reading and are still hesitating on purchasing this fan, this is your sign to get this fan. It's awesome. You won't regret your purchase.

Solo lo he tenido 1 día, pero el ventilador se siente de excelente calidad. Es bastante silencioso y tiene suficiente potencia para refrescar una habitacion. No es tan potente como un ventilador qué hace más ruido, pero esta excelente por lo que es. Estoy muy satisfecho.

The product is good looking and working fine. Pros: No noise at all. For a single person it is good enough. Decent look. Remote works fine. Cons: It covers very small area. There is extra stabilizer/adopter, you can't directly plug and play and where ever you will Move it you have to carry that adopter/Power converter which around 1.5 kg. 2 kg Weight. Not value for money.

I was a bit undecided about getting another tower fan as the previous one we had (a different make) was not brilliant but this one has more settings, a remote control and a timer. It has an oscillating setting or can be used without. It's fairly quiet and the timer is great for use in the bedroom. Its sturdy enough not to get knocked over and quite slim. Served us well during the hot nights in the summer.

This Honeywell, like many of their products, has an ease to its design and assembly, and a simple, practical design. I've had the fan for a few weeks now and am very pleased with its noise level, and how (visually) it basically disappears into the background, not drawing too much attention to itself despite its vertical height.

I live in a small studio apartment in London, and this has been a game-changer as when the temperatures are too high, the heat is unbearable. This cools down the space super quick, it has different intensity settings to play with. Whether I want a gentle breeze or a powerful gust, I can adjust it to my liking. It also has the rotating feature which spreads the coolness all around the room, leaving no corner untouched. No more feeling like I'm stuck in an oven! The best part for me is the remote control. It's a lifesaver! I can change the settings without even lifting a finger from wherever I am in the room making it very convenient. Additionally, it is super quiet, it doest make any noise at all compared to other fans or air cons. I work from home most days and I don't even need to switch it off if I have a meeting. Great choice overall!
