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

Honeywell makes the best tower fan. I have had one for years, now, and decided to get another one for the living room. These fans have multiple settings described as: sleep, calm, white noise, refresh, and power cool. This fan also oscillates which helps cool a larger space. It comes with a remote control, which will be nice, as I actually lost the one from our other Honeywell fan. The power of this fan is amazing and the power cool setting is really cold. Carrying it from one place to another is easy, as it has a good carrying handle built in on the opposite side of the controls. I paid $56.99 for this fan, and I think it's a great value and would definitely buy it again. I highly recommend it.

My sister has one if these Honeywell upright fans and I loved hers so much I bought one too. This will sound hard to believe but this fan has so many different settings for the blower/fan. At times it even feels like air conditioning. I couldn’t believe how cold it was blowing out. It has a quiet mode which is nice for sleeping. It’s well worth the money!!

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.

I am going in to year 5 with this fan. It has been used primarily in my son's room at night to circulate air while he's sleeping. We have pulled it to other areas of the house occasionally, though. It is very quiet! We've lost the remote long ago, but it worked like a charm. The only reason I have taken a star off is because about 2 years ago, the fan speed stopped changing. There's only 1 speed and it's the lowest speed. The lights indicating the different speeds changes when the button is pushed, but the actual fan speed never changes. Every other function still works and it is still very quiet!

Excellent fan! Quiet, many speed choices. I like that it has a remote.

This fan appears to have a lifespan of about five years, which is quite acceptable considering its daily use. However, after six years, you’ll eventually encounter this sound. Unfortunately, the fan is now stored in the garage, where it seems to function properly. It still blows the same amount of air and maintains consistent performance. The only issue is that it has developed a rattling sound, which is no longer white noise for the house.

For something touting quite and silence... it really isn't. I read the other reviews, even by those claiming to be sensitive to noise. They must not know what noise is, or already live in a noisy area to drown out the fan ;) This fan, I would rate... moderate on noise* (see edit below). It certainly is much quieter than a BOX fan, or any of those round oscillating fans of yesteryear... but when comparing this tower fan design with other tower fans (like from lasko, a prior one I had which sadly failed after 12 years and they dont make the model anymore...-grumble-)... this fan is only as quiet on its lowest of low settings. The lowest setting barely moves air, but it is workable if placed 6-8 feet away (of course the closer it gets, the more you would hear it, so its a delicate balance). As for features... decent. I've seen much worse in remote-controlled fans. This one has a nice built in holder which is nice, very nice actually. The buttons are easy push, and responsive. Not huge toggles or buttons made for kindergartener adults like most appliances seem to trend these days. Not a fan of the weird and ugly 'base stand'. But... oh well. * The original noise of this fan was annoying as heck. It has a vibration to it (bad motor design) and the wiring inside is poorly routed, so that the vibration would cause the wiring to clack endlessly against the plastic housing. After shaking the thing many times to get it to shut up, only for it to get click/clack/ticking again a few minutes later... I cracked the thing open and found the issue. Inside, the wires that run from the bottom up to the top controls, goes in a plastic channel without any tie down, glue, padding, or otherwise. So they basically dangle and any motion of the fan causes them to tap the sides. Boo hiss, bad engineer! Half a penny per unit and you could have easily added a 'felt strip' down that channel to silent the wiring. Which is what I ended up doing, put it all back together, and now no more vibration noise and clacking. Runs quieter (still not whisper quiet, but thats just due to the motor and airflow design issues). *EDIT* The fan has developed a hissing grind in its bearings. There are two bearings on the shaft, and they have begun to 'hiss' (which is another sign of poor material used). I added some bearing grease, didn't help. The bearings used are just junk, and will develop a bad noise over time and use. I'm really sorry I bought this fan now, its garbage all around and how many times I've had to open it up to try and fix the issues that are just due to poor quality materials and design (nothing a warranty would cover obviously)... I could have MADE a new fan myself. *EDIT FINAL* This thing is now louder than a 20 year old BOX fan I have in the garage. It is so annoying, I have to pay someone to take it off my hands. Never buying Honeywell fans ever again. Just pure garabge.

After a year and half of use, i've decided this fan has become too noisy with a grinding noise to be able to sleep with. I don't know if it just happens to be a fluke. It wasn't like this when I first got it but after about 6 months, this noise developed. Oddly, it is noisier at lower speeds; at the highest speed, it's noticeably quieter. Unfortunately, at that level, it is too strong for my preference. I do love the design to minimize use of space in my already small bedroom. It does well keeping to move air in the room and has kept me cool during the warmest months, but I've decided I deserve better when I sleep so am actively looking for a replacement.

This fan is quiet, very cooling, and comes with a remote. You can also set a time for the fan to auto turn off or just leave it on forever if you find yourself to be always hot.

É muito silencioso e tem uma potência ótima pra categoria de ventiladores de torre. Para o verão carioca talvez seja fraquinho, mas pro dia a dia é excelente.

El ventilador tiene la calidad Honeywell, tiene 5 velocidades, es silencioso y estable. Cuenta con control remoto de baterías. Me encantó!

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 like the design, also that it is not too noisy and spreads the air evenly.
