Seriously, just buy the dang AC you’re trying to avoid spending on. I wish I had. I bought two of these—both were dead for god within a month. Worked great for the first week! Definitely not worth your money.

Product worked well for the first month. After that, the display no longer functions and you can't visibly see what setting it's on. That wouldn't be such a terrible thing except I called for resolution through the manufacturer, and after choosing several options it just tells you to go to the website. There's been no response from the manufacturer. This is obviously a non-existent manufacturers warranty

It seems to only blow on the right side of the fan tower, nothing on the left. :( sooo, it's back in the box. Send a return label please.

Fan is great for white noise and having decent wind power; however, the locknut really made it difficult to put the base on it. I’m actually returning it because it was such a hassle to take it on and off, especially with the base on. It was really hard to get a grip on it and can easily get stuck from what I’ve heard. The only thing I can think of to reduce this issue is using WD-40, but personally, it’s not worth doing all of that for a subpar. It would also shake pretty bad on certain cooling speeds. I’m not sure if it’s just a big jump in speed/power between the White Noise setting and the two settings between Power Cool, but it was shaking quite a bit. I really don’t recommend it unless you need a fan ASAP. There’s better fans you can get that are about $20 more if you really want a good one.

At first, it worked fine. Seem to be quiet at different speeds. And then shortly after probably just right after the return policy date, the lowest setting started to rattle the fan itself. So I turned it up one speed and there was no rattle. Then that speed started to rattle and make noise. So I'm not happy with the unit. I was going to find a way to fix it when I had time but I would say don't waste your money on this Tower fan. Just buy a cheaper one that has a couple different speeds and I think it would be happy. Just the waste of my money

Sure it lives up to its name being quiet and all but it isnt powerful enough to cool a room or even effective enough to cool my whole body in a small room . Better use for babies or someone who gets cold easily .

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Please note, this fan will circulate the air that is already in your room which will help you feel cooler, but it will not generate cooler air to lower the room's temperature. However, based on your review, we'd like to look into this in order to help. Please reach out to our customer service team at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com for assistance.

This one started clicking at night when osicillating and I returned it for a slightly different black one with more speeds. I think they knew this sub-model was messed up because there wasn't any to swap out. So I grabbed the upgraded one and have had NO issues.

Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s possible the original model was temporarily out of stock, which may explain why a direct swap wasn’t available. We’re glad to hear the upgraded version with more speeds is working well for you. If you need any further assistance, please reach out to us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. We're here to help!

It’s ability to move. Air is not really a problem. Although it’s not as quiet, uneven the lower settings as the box would indicate the biggest problem is the oscillation. It makes way too much noise for such a simple movement and it wasn’t that bad at first, but within probably two weeks, it just makes a weird squeaking annoying sound when it oscillates. Yeah if you have it on the higher level levels, it drowns out that sound but if you’re just trying to use it to sleep, I end up having to just have it point in one direction. I would’ve returned it had these problems started just a week or two earlier. it technically works, just not well. I would honestly not recommend this fan. Maybe if it was 30 bucks but I think I paid $82 for it way overpriced and I wish I had realized that before I couldn’t return it. Just get a standard circular oscillating fan, like a Lasko or something similar. I should’ve learned, ,I’ve never had good luck with tower fans, and this one’s no different. My opinion don’t buy this.

Don’t be swayed by the marketing aspects of this fan. The color bar and eight Quiet Settings are deceptive, they really refer to fan speed or power vs. providing any differentiating feature ex. “Calm”, “Whitenoise”, “Refresh” etc.;there is nothing related to those terms. The fan is effectively provides cool air - so no regrets on meeting the purpose of buying it. The fan however is NOT quiet. It has a persistent rattle and when on oscillation creaks/whines so definitely is lacking in meeting a key promoted feature. Whether sleeping or using in an office etc. that’s not an outcome I want at any price. Traditional upright oscillating fans are superior to this model.

I bought this for my office room at home for COVID. It fits well with my office space for its convenient tower design. It works great in Sleep or Calm mode with no noise I would say for some time. After few minutes of operation it starts a bad sound continuously. I have to change the speed to back in the quiet mode again to get rid of that weird sound. Hence I am going to return it.

I returned the Honeywell fan to Best Buy. I liked the design and it was quiet however when it was on full blast it wasn’t powerful enough for me. I decided to purchase qty 2 Vornado 184 tower whole room circulator fan. They provide good circulation and cooling to my living room and bedroom when I don’t want to run my AC.

About Fan: Pros: 1) Not suitable for hall/big rooms. 2) Do not expect cool air. Cons: 1) Does not make much noise. 2) Easy to handle and assemble. Am rating it 2 star because am not provided with 2 AAA batteries which you guys displayed in "what's Included?".

The fan was very quiet but the airflow was poor. I think if this fan had more airflow this would be a good product. Thanks

I always read the reviews before making a purchase. Based upon the reviews I purchased this fan with high expectations. Well my expectations were quickly disappointed. The first three weeks it worked good. Then the power of the fan weakened. You couldn't feel cool unless you were sitting right next to it. Design wise though it's pretty cool and stylish. I do have a cheaper 16 inch Lasko standing fan that exceeds the performance of the high priced stylish honeywell. Wish I could have returned the Honeywell but I threw out the box and could not return it. Considering also the time of the purchase that had surpassed. I don't want anyone else to waste there money or time. I definitely would not recommend this fan to anyone.

This fan rattles at EVERY SPEED except for the highest one, so you either accept being blasted or tolerating the rattle. Quite frankly, I am very sensitive to that kind of noise. It’s going back as soon as I can get it in the car. Never again. Cools okay but forget the RATTLE and its lack of reach.

It is a very powerful fan and if you are looking for something loud for when you sleep it gets the job done but after 5 months it started making these weird grindy noises even after taking it apart and cleaning it so I had to buy a different fan

love the fan, it's quiet and the air flow is superb. Now for the bad ... it smells like toxic chemicals. I sat it in the heat on my sun porch for 2 days and it smelled worse. I considered sending it back but I haven't given up yet. If you don't want to put any work into, this is not the fan for you.

Noisy and not from the fan. It seems to be poorly constructed and rattles while working. Bought 2 and they both have issues.
