Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan-Black, Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote, HYF290B

Works great,I love all the different speeds. It was easy to assemble and it has a very wide range of oscillation, it really has a wide sweep and it is sturdy when it reaches the end of the sweeps, no weird sounds come from it. It is quite tall but also lightweight so you can put it on top if things if needed.

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.

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.

w/PExitBR/E's: Quickie Review: I use all 3 at once/multiple rooms to quietly circulate air, especially bedroom. Lower settings are VERY quiet. Higher settings can be heard, but still quieter than ceiling/traditional options. Big "fan" of what they do for me in the bedroom & elsewhere, quieter options meet my needs regularly. Higher price worth it in long run given AC usage at higher temp settings. Who doesn't love having "multiple options" vs going back to the same old tired things that rarely, never get the job done when you're really hot? (If you're laughing, cynically rolling eyes, etc., it's only going to get more "punnier." :D)"Q-FCS": I've been burned by doing it online before, but I like what I'm seeing. Some say really nice things too, but it's always like that starting out. Looking for advice via highly experienced individual. Is it too good to be true? Please help.w/PExitBR/E: Funny you mention burning! Even living in Texas, hot-flashes still exist (it's true)! Noise, hot, etc., wakes me up. No quality bedroom time is not cool! Quiet, effective, help w/elec. bill, etc., all very important to me. I've had too many "one-nighters" in the past w/other fans (*hangs head in shame*), but this "Honey" & I have been going at it for a couple months now...all 4 of us (3 fans, 1 less "flashy" me). Remote, Sleeper function, etc., all great additions. Remote control can be "snapped on/in" space provided near top of fan."Though "love" is in my cooler, circulating air" (& base design helps), these guys can suffer "cheap date" syndrome (wobble, fall over) if bumped into (pets, kids, 3am, dark journey to bathroom or kitchen, etc.,). However, these "tall boys" make up for it 10-fold. At higher fan modes w/their height, other options, they are very helpful in the bathroom, other rooms too (drying out a bathroom project, and way quieter than bigger "shop" fans). Even post tumble(s), they work great & are still durable & quiet. I don't know if they're "Mr. Right(s)," but I do know it's July in Texas & "Mr. Right(s) Now" works just fine. Worth the $$$. Pics were accurate, showed up looking great (package, shipping, etc.,) & easy to assemble.w/PExitBR/E's Overall Rating/Review:NO Morning After WALK OF SHAME; 4.333 AMAZONIAN GOLD STARS!!!PS-Pic/Video Requests for "Fan action (1 or more) w/Tall, Silent "Honey" in my bedroom" will not be replied to (probably). :P
