Honeywell HYF023W Comfort Control Tower Fan, Wide Area Cooling, White

Another Update: Still working as good as the first day of use almost two years ago. Don't want to test fate, so I won't update again unless something abnormal happens. I'm still very pleased with it and feel like it has saved me buying a new room a/c for my office and doesn't use much electricity to keep me comfortable in here. Upgrading my rating to 5 stars from 4. Oh and btw, we have no kids or pets. UPDATE after 10 months: This fan has been running virtually 24/7 for 10 months now, just to pull cooled or heated air from the next room that has a big heat pump air conditioner. It was an experiment, just to save the price of putting an a/c in this room. I used it during the winter turned around to blow the low-lying cold air out and pull in the warm air by way of the vacuum created at the top of the door, but during the coldest days I also ran a space heater in here. The fan runs on the mid setting and has kept this room quite comfortable when it's hot outside... and by hot I include 3 days that were over 100º outside. It is NOT ONE DECIBEL LOUDER than when I turned it on the first time. It has not been damaged, even though my wife turns it around occasionally for some odd reason. ORIGINAL REVIEW: OK I got this on sale from Amazon for $40, so I will judge this item on that price and my beginning grade is 4 stars. It is quiet enough that I can place it at the door to my office and it brings in noticeable cool air from the next room without enough noise to bother me. That's on HIGH speed. On low speed I can barely hear it at all. Reading the other reviews, I must have gotten one of the good ones... there are so many complaints. But this initially is very quiet and does make adequate wind to satisfy my requirements (my office A/C is broken, so I have to suck air from the bedroom). WARNING! Though the following information might make your (working) fan last longer, it will almost certainly nullify your warranty and ability to return the unit for repair or refund! Assembly: This is made of cheap, soft plastic. The screws are adequate in size, but strip out VERY easily in soft plastic, so my advice is to make certain you are assembling this correctly (maybe put it together and then take the screws out one by one and dip them into EPOXY). Then screw them in just until you feel them hit bottom + a half turn. You might want to put a dob of epoxy on the snap together tabs on the base and pedestal too...easy enough to see where to put it... just for a little more strength. Keep it on the inside of the pedestal and on the bottom of the base and it won't even show... don't use too much. Do this at your own risk... I'm experienced doing this sort of thing and so it's easier for me than for a first-timer. It is obviously VERY fragile, so handle it carefully while assembling and whenever you move it. I do NOT recommend this or any similar fan for use when there is a toddler pulling up on things, or who likes to "tackle" stuff... find a more substantial fan... maybe even a cat might be enough to pull it down and smash it. Even at $40 it hurts when things break! For my uses, this appears to be perfect. It might get noisier later or maybe fall apart in spite of the epoxy, but who knows, maybe not. Most fans last me a very long time.

We live in an area that AC is only needed a few days or a week or two straight per year, so we’ve always just gone with opened windows, ceiling fans and tower or stand fans. However, we do live in a 2 story with its bedrooms upstairs and because of this the bedrooms tend to get stuffy even when the windows open. We’ve tried many and I mean MANY other fans; from stand fans, window fans, even other tower fans and fans from different price ranges (yes, even those expensive ones) as well as different brands. Most of the fans we’ve owned, even on the highest setting, merely blow air around and really don’t make a difference in the comfort of the room. Plus, even though the “expensive one” worked nicely, it lasted just about a year of off and on use and not being left on more than 8 or 9 hours! This Honeywell is just as efficient and such a great price, so even if it lasts only a year we won’t be upset about it, because we’re not out all that money like before. This Honeywell HYF023W Comfort Control Tower Fan is different than all those other fans we’ve owned. This has been the first fan that actually makes the air it circulates feel cooler, not sure how it’s able to do this but it really does, plus even when it is not set to oscillate it still covers a fairly wide area, which is even better when oscillating though! A feature I really appreciate is the up to 8-hour timer! All the other fans we’ve owned or own don’t offer anything beyond a 4-hour timer, plus this fan is fairly quiet, which is a surprise our other tower fans are on the louder side. We had never owned a Honeywell fan before, only their air purifiers, so honestly we weren’t sure what to expect in a fan made by them. The only things I think they could do to make this fan even better is offer it in a black or grey and offer one with a remote, but other than that we couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase and we will be purchasing another one.

I first bought this model about six years ago and used it every single night, small season! Maybe if I took care of it better or ever took it to someone to have it cleaned I could still use it. It’s not that it stopped working but developed a bit of a squeak so I decided to replace it. I was excited to find the exact one because it’s perfect for me and I know what to expect from it. My room gets direct sun on two sides and even with insulated curtains it’s still warmer than I like. I turn it on about ten minutes before I go to bed and it draws cooler air from the hall so it’s comfy when I’m ready to sleep. Super easy to put together. Not too loud as I enjoy the background noise but not so loud I can’t hear my ocean waves playing on my dot. Slim design makes it easy to tuck out of the way. Three speeds and can oscillate but I have it preset to stay exactly as I like so it’s just a matter of turning on and off. Slim enough and light enough I’ve even taken with me on road trips. I love it!

It smells like plastic, I ran it for few hours and the smell didnt go away and the room became unbearable. Returned and fully refunded very quickly. The seller customer service is pretty good.

I had ordered for "Honeywell HYF023W towerfan" from Global Hub. The product worked first time and never again. After checking with Honeywell/Kaz call-centres in the USA, it is understood that this product should never be sold in India. Its power rating is only compliant to USA power rating. I have been asking for return and full refund since 2 weeks. No feedback!

Es buen producto, en el nivel alto hace poco ruido y refresca bien. Por su diseño delgado cabe en cualquier lado. Puede programarse para que se apague solito en diferentes periodos de tiempo, es fácil de armar, lo que no me gustó es que dice traer control remoto y no lo trae pero lo adquirí en menos de 1000 pesitos y eso compensa, Gracias Amazon .

Llego antes de lo esperado, buena calidad y funciona perfecto

Ok Fan but I found it noisy and very wobbly. It was very easy to put together. I should have paid more attention to the size because I find it very short. Need to put it on a pedestal to get it to reach the window. Air flow I find is just OK. If you turn it on high it makes way too much noise and very hard to sleep if in your bedroom. I now keep it in the dining room on low.
