Honeywell HYF260 Quiet Set Whole Room Tower Fan, White

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!

I was first impressed by the unusual design of the feet/base which is not only very functional and was easy to put together, but it was designed for sleek and more compact shipping. The quietness and strong airflow were the next impressive features of the design. The low (sleep) setting is absolutely fantastic - so quiet, it's nearly imperceptible for a delicate breeze that keeps the air moving without disturbing a single hair on my head. I haven't needed the highest setting (very strong output), but I probably will in the heat of summer. I've used this fan daily for over a month, so I can't speak to the longevity yet. I am beyond happy with this fan so far. It's the most well-designed and crafted fan I've ever had. I'm not crazy about the responsiveness of the remote - it's possible my batteries aren't the strongest, but again, the thoughtful designers put a cubby space on the back of the fan that holds the remote when you're not needing it, and it's also a unique chunky shape that won't slip into the couch cushions or get mixed up with all the other remotes that our devices now seem to come with.

When I read the description of the Honeywell Quiet Set Whole Room Tower Fan, I wondered if it would indeed circulate air in my whole room. It's true! The air is felt across the room!This fan is very sturdy, powerful, and quiet. At first, I thought the fan was broken because it made a terrible old-fan sound, but that was on the "sleep" mode. If you like the sound of clattering old fans, the first setting is for you.Once I turned it to calm, it was like I was on a quiet beach feeling the breeze. Super whoosh-floosh-whirl sounds of bliss. When it's hot in the room, I turn it to the highest setting and it makes me feel like I'm driving with the window rolled down.The buttons are solid and it won't tip over with bumping into it or hitting it with boxes (like I tend to do often), it's like a blow-up-punch-clown. I expect this fan to last a long time.

We purchase this fan back in July 2020 and it was our trusted nightly fan up until November 2023. It was great at keeping a nice airflow and it wasn’t too loud when it was in the lower settings (what we usually kept it at) during the day I would probably set it to refresh or cool and it wasn’t obnoxiously loud- it’s a fan, I’m not expecting it to completely silent. Our toddler knocked it over a couple of times and then it started rattling towards the end, which is understandable and then it eventually gave out on us. I think it got dropped and it cracked, I honestly don’t remember.Now- the reason for only 4 stars is because 1, the remote control never worked for us- not even when we first got it and 2, it didn’t have any way of opening it up easily and cleaning it so we never did in fear of breaking it so when we finally threw it away I took a good look at the inside and it was filthy.Overall not a bad fan for the price, I would recommend.
