Not a good choice for a 10 x 12 room
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to help cool a bedroom that does not get much cooling from our home AC unit. This unit did not help cool the room and was returned to Best Buy.

Posted .Thank you for sharing your experience. We apologize for any confusion. This unit is a fan; it is not an air conditioner. This unit will not push cooler air into the room to lower the temperature; it will circulate the air that is already in your room to help create a breeze. If you require assistance, please contact us at [email protected]. Thank you.
Not strong enough
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wind flow was too low. didn’t cool the room. If the speed is turned up then it’s too loud. Sticking with VORNADO brand

Shiver me timbers...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had a Holmes Tower Fan that unbelievably lasted 16 years under hard use. Finally the motor went, and after some brand, and consumer reviews decided to go with this Honeywell QuietSet. Lower settings are indeed quiet. As speed is increased so does the "noise." This fan is effective at cooling our bedroom of 16x14 on the highest settings; and competent at providing sufficient air movement around the king bed area during sleep on the lower, quieter settings. Smooth oscillation when needed at approximately 90 degrees. The remote is limited in function, and distance; but a nice feature to have. Well designed overall. Solenoid controls, so non-mechanical wear is a plus hopefully for longevity. The front panel is well lit, and brightness is adjustable. Price matched, and excellent BEST BUY Customer Service to top it off.

Where’s the air flow?
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The redeeming quality of this fan is the style/look, but what a pity I took too long to take back to the store (was no longer able to return). The air flow that comes from this fan is pitiful - even on the highest level, doesn’t even compete with my Lasko fan’s lowest setting. Save yourself and get any Lasko before getting this fan.

Not much air
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to help with moving air when my air went out and it didn’t do much more than take up space. Certainly not worth the price. I returned it.

Expensive, no wind relief
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The design is nice but it serves no purpose as a fan. Very little wind relief from this fan.

Bought new, came used.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this on sale $10 off. NO where does my order said this was a return or a refurbished product. But it had clearly been returned to the store, Wrapping already open, padding in incorrect places....works for a few. Then we turn the wall unit AC on, and then this fan starts to sputter. Air flow goes down. Seems to happen only when the AC is on, tired other plugs, and on separate breakers, still sputters.

Expensive plastic
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Right now our AC is out but I have a $20 pedestal fan that works better than this thing. Not only is it short but you can barely feel it unless you're right next to it. Forget cooling off a small room let alone a large one. The "8 speed" "feature" is a joke feels less powerful than a 3 speed

It died after 4 days!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was excited to get the fan but it did not last...my excitement faded to frustration the minute it died which was 4 days after picking it up at the store. It is so hot especially in Miami, FL that I needed extra help in the cool down department but this did not work. Thankfully the staff at the store was great and refunded me immediately!
