Honeywell QuietSet Tower (8 Speed Settings, Oscillating 80°, Timer Function, Remote Control, Dimming Options) HYF290

Brilliant fan, not too noisy for bedtime even on the higher settings, which can be powerful. A nice size too so it doesn't overwhelm the room. It doesn't seem to cost too much in electricity either and has a good cooling effect.I ordered from this seller 2 years ago and asked to buy a replacement remote as it got broken and they sent one out for free anyway - very impressed and would definitely buy from them again.

This fitted the bill for me on having a small footprint to fit into room, portable, reasonably quiet so as not to be a distraction while working, and lots of settings to ramp up the airflow if required. However, in practice, I mostly use the fan while working in my home office, and generally only ever have it on the lowest (sleep) or 2nd setting. If I'm on phone calls, I'd tend to turn the fan down to the sleep setting so there's as little noise as possible. The actual fan motor is pretty quiet, but there is some vibration noise from the body of the unit itself that lets the product down a little. If you hold your hands round the body of the unit to stop the vibrations then more of the lower settings would be "quiet". I might experiment with some duck tape to see if that helps. Not a deal breaker, but it would have been good if Honeywell had worked a bit harder to improve the unit's design for this.When I do use the fan at night time, as per other reviewer comments, the light dimming function is cancelled if you change the fan speed via the remote, which means you have to get up to reset it.

Very happy with this purchase, incredibly quiet and powerful.

Excellent fan. 5 stars

There's a distinct rattle that sounds a bit like a broken bearing on the three lower settings. On the sleep setting, all you can hear is the rattle and it's noisier than our 12" desk fan but provides less air flow.As this was purchased for the bedroom (which is why we picked a "quiet" fan), it is being sent back.On the higher settings it is actually quite nice. If it wasn't for the rattle, I'd be pretty happy with it.

I have been trying to survive the intermittent city heatwaves with a large floor fan, which does the job but sounds like a tornado is raging through my house. It's not compatible with things like watching movies or using Discord due to the noise, so in desperation I went looking for something else. A pedestal fan would take up too much space out of season, another normal fan would probably have a similar problem and an air conditioner would be too much effort. I ended up browsing the range of Honeywell tower fans and picked this one (more because it had the fastest delivery time than anything else).It's not completely silent - it sounds a bit like a fridge - but it's more than quiet enough to leave running in the background when it's blowing at the highest setting. My gaming buddies have no idea that I have the fan on while I'm on voice chat and I'm lovely and cool the whole time! I have no idea what the other reviews are talking about because mine doesn't rattle or click. Setting it up took a couple of minutes. It's very tall but skinny enough that it can be stowed in a cupboard once the weather cools down.I'd like it more if it integrated with HomeKit but I guess that's a way off in some future model, and the included remote control does the job well enough. It makes my room feel less hot without making too much noise. Fully satisfied.

Why did you choose this product over others?:Had the previous model which was brilliant, gave it to my daughter so bought this.Functionality:Not so good, fan poor even on number 8, cool air does not spread out just flows straight ahead and not very powerful. Previous model so much better. Very disappointed

This was purchased to replace my old Honeywell fan, overall quite happy with it.Only downside is the base, why is it in two pieces, which come apart as fast as you put them together, which then has to be attached to the top, which is a bit fiddly need more than two hands. I realise it’s been made this way to save on the packaging, if it was made as one unit it would not need a much bigger box, and be less hassle to assemble.
