Does the job but doesn’t have strong enough fan to cool a room adequately

[Employee of bestbuy] It’s okayyyyy. Not that strong of a fan but it works. It’s easy to transport (per my picture of it in the back of the car) see ya later guys

and on initial use, it's works great! It's quiet on the lowest setting and then after just a few months time, the lowest setting "Sleep" develops a rickety-clicking sound that you cannot sleep with it on it's lowest setting. The next setting up "Calm" does not click but I also don't want that force of wind on my face and body while trying to sleep. So after 1 year and 3 fans, I'm in search of another fan that in fact keeps it's quality longer term and stays quiet throughout it's life of use.

Its okay. Decent air output, quiet. Its easily knocked over

The unit was quiet. It had great airflow. The problem was it started to make a creaking noise where it rotated. I couldn’t get the base to adjust. I returned it.

Knocks over easily, and is not as powerful as its marketed to be. Unless you desperately need multiple settings to make this thing quiet, its not worth it. I like the sound of fan at night, so maybe I shouldn't have purchased this because I'll never use half the lower settings as I don't require it to be silent most the time. If you do, maybe this would be for you, in that case its alright. I bought this to save a little space and to cool down a room we don't use as frequently, but my standard, oscillating upright fan does a better job for a fraction of the cost. I still use this, but it's not worth the price for my use. I like that you can dim the display, but my standard fan doesnt have a display and therefore does not need to be dimmed. Honestly, unless you're more so looking for these specific settings this tower provides (e.g. comes with remote, silent settings, and timer shut off) at the expense of power, just buy a box or standard fan.

Easy set up and does the job. Comes with 8 fan settings but it’s more like 5 because the first 3 feel more or less the same. Oscillation and timer features are a plus. Good for close range cooling, however I wouldn’t expect much for across-the-room cooling unless you’re on the highest setting.

The fan started off great. I liked it so much I considered getting a 2nd. But in week three, there started to be a rattling noise, like a plastic piece if tapping against something. After confirming everything was secured, and the noise was still there, I took the unit to try and get an exchange. However, anything after 15 days, and you're expected to submit it to the manufacturer. Which is Honeywell. Then the manufacturer will advise Best Buy if the manufacturing defect warrants an exchange. This is a ridiculous thing to make someone go through when they have not even had a unit for 30 days. Thanks to this, and the management at Best Buy not willing to exchange the unit (Not return, I wanted the same fan), I will not be buying from Best Buy anymore, and I recommend others do not, as well.

The fan has good aesthetics, a handy remote control and is relatively quiet but I wish it was a little more powerful in its cooling performance. The timer is handy and even though I don’t use it, the oscillating feature is welcome.

Easy to set up. Oscillates well. I like the remote. It’s just not very strong even on the highest setting. Not very quiet either.

A good small fan for the price point. Multiple settings to blow cold air, good oscillating, easy to setup and use.

This was an emergency purchase when our AC unit went out during consecutive August days of 100+ degrees. It did ok. Wish it blew more air than it did. I should have known better when I read it to be a quiet fan. Even at the highest setting I could barely feel the air across the room. Luckily, my wife brought home a second fan to help cool us off. We ended up giving it to our daughter when she moved into her apartment.

I really wanted to love this. It has everything going for it. Nice design, good controls(on the fan), 8 speed settings. It’s really only the quiet part where it falls short. You get an irritating buzzing sound from the motor that intensifies as you go up the fan speed ladder and is even more annoying on the lowest setting because you can now clearly hear it. To make things worse is when the thing oscillates it stutters and creaks occasionally creating an audible plastic click sound like it’s hung up something. This did eventually go away though. Overall it’s a decent fan that will cool you down but for something that is supposed to be quiet it doesn’t live up to the hype.

It starts out work a lot of power for how quiet it is. I love that it has 8 different power settings and can oscillate. However within 10 days the first one I bought had the lower fans for the lowest settings stop working. I exchanged it for another one, and again within 17 days half the little fans are not working as well. It started making noise when on lower settings, and when it oscillates. If it didn't stop working properly within a couple weeks it would be a 5 star review.

Since this is a Honeywell fan, I had high expectations for it. As promised, the fan is quiet. Unfortunately, it has very weak air flow. So, rather than use it in the livingroom as planned, we are using it in the bedroom, which is a smaller area. Very disappointing!

Met about 70 percent of my expectations. Very quiet at lower settings. The remote is a plus. Not very rugged plastic casing. The high settings not very powerful from a distance of 6 feet and over.

Seems okay, keeps cool enough during summer despite not having an AC in the bedroom… bought two one of them is already making a squeaking sound occasionally for some reason, debating returning that one. Got it on sale though so not terrible for the price

Fan worked great for the first year or so, then it began making a rough noise while fans are on. It goes away after about 30 minutes, but it can be bothersome. Oscillation works great however.

Quiet, but expensive, and doesn't really blow that well. If you need something for your room that's quiet then I recommend, if not get a cheap $20 loud one which blows more air

I bought the black 8 speed version 1st. It seemed broken because only 5 thru 8 were blowing air. (Last one left & box had been opened.) I decided this 5 speed model in white would look better in the living room. Unfortunately 5th speed is no different than any desk fan. I'm NOT expecting a tornado. But, would like to feel decent air from 10" away. It is very quiet. I deduce quiet comes from lack of blowing power. I had bought a Holmes originally, I like their fans. Power plus quiet. But it too, had been used & wasn't working right and no longer in stock. Next....
