HoneywellQuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, HYF290B

Thrilled with this fan. It only took a minute to snap it together -- there's a handy "quick start guide" with only four steps and pictures of what to do. Super easy. It runs like a charm and is quiet as a mouse on all of the settings but if you crank it up to level 8 "power mode" you will hear a soft, pleasant whoosh. I am not hearing any of the rattling sounds mentioned in other reviews. I got this exact model about 5 years ago and used it year-round non-stop (we live in the Sun Belt) and it's still working great. Highly recommend this amazing fan!

Having a little trouble with assembly, and will post as to how I like the fan once it's up a running.Just wanted to tell all folks here, that it is listed here at Amazon as a 31" fan, but the box says it is 40".I believe that with the base it becomes 40". Just in case anyone needed to know this. I am ok with that.I can't wait until hubby is awake so he can help me to insert the fan into the base, I'm having trouble with that part. 😨. I can already tell by its many varied features that I am going to love it. Especially after the old rickety fan that I've been using. The on off switch is broken and it barely works. This will be heaven, I love the whisper setting.I am returning. We love the fan and all the different settings. The timer is still a bit confusing to me, and the fact that they label the settings with calm, relax, whisper is annoying. Tell me what the speeds DO, high flow, low flow, etc... low med and high has always worked. The display is very nice and can be dimmed. Making words for settings is almost as dumb as when they started giving colors names, like periwinkle, emerald etc. What was wrong with just shades of color.But I'm figuring out what settings I like. I see they have now sold out of these fans, that's too bad. Hope they get more in stock at the same price.

To begin with, no fan is a substitute of an AC system, those that use one need to understand thermodynamics, AC units remove the heat from the room and have super-cooling methods that wouldn't be used in a fan. To get air OUT of a room, you need an exit, an open door, window, etc.I use mine in support of our AC unit, which is all the way in the living room (and struggles to reach my room). Fans are mainly intended to keep the air circulating, but by doing so also slightly (but noticeably in enclosed environments, far more than in open) increase the temperature as a byproduct. However, fans do make it more bearable, and make a significant difference when centered onto the person in question.It's a rather quiet, and tall fan, as opposed to the arguably much stronger, less efficient, and louder box fan that I used to have. This fan does rotate, has multiple settings including ones (that at the lower levels) are little more than white noise, meaning it can be used to give a slight cooling sensation, without being overwhelming, while also staying just loud enough to drown out the disturbances of the night, an owl hooting at an odd hour, birds flying around, etc.Is it perfect, no, in my case my bed happens to be too tall (which I had just set up a day prior to receiving the fan) to make the full use of the fan at night, however the white noise helps with sleeping, and it still does keep a good deal of the heat off at night. I would recommend it to someone who understood what they were looking for in a fan, and what they would be getting. If you are looking for a fan, not an AC unit, this is something that I would recommend.

It spins a cylindrical tower style rotary fan blade. A lot of different speed settings but I've ran this on high with the oscillate feature on for the past, 3-4 years. I planned on performing a full disassembly and cleaning but after my air purifier taking a lot longer than intended I wasn't in the mood. So I pointed my window A/C unit, a window fan and laid out a towel, I went to work with a vacuum with a brush attachment, then a light mist of 99% alcohol, then a light mist of 2 parts Dawn dish soap: 3 parts very very hot distilled water in a pressurized sprayer, followed by a rinse of cool pure distilled water while it was running and on oscillate. Turned it upside down and shook it out. smacked it a few times then a few more sprays of alcohol and scrubbing the vents with an old toothbrush, I could have used some automotive grease or silicone lubricant on the moving parts, but this thing will probably outlive most of my appliances already LOL... Then I let the fans blow on it for about 10 minutes and unplugged it and now i use it for my basement. Blows too hard now, lol. Hell of a fan. Compared to those big blade stand up fans, window fans, or a box fan, this thing is 1000x better, let me tell ya. I usually have the window fan blowing in, horizontally at the top of my window and this thing blowing toward the window. Seems weird but it works... get this, super quiet, efficient, powerful, fairly tall but doesn't take up much space, very durable (tipped over about 50 dozen times, could probably weigh it down with a thick piece of steel or a steel ring the same size as the one attached, ooh i am going to search that up or make one right now), remote (? I think i lost mine if it has one), overall a super amazing fan.

I live in Arizona and it is hot. I needed a fan for my bedroom that was very functional. This one has a remote which is amazing it has multiple levels of air cooling. It is the perfect size. It couldn't be easier to use and the noise level is low if you go all the way up to the top you're going to notice it but it's not anything that would keep you awake unless you are overly sensitive to sound. I find it soothing. And completely worth the money.
