Nice looking but horrible.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don’t feel any cool air blowing. It feel like there is heat coming out. I brought it for my daughter’s room in the attic. Because I didn’t want the AC on because of COVID. The other tower fans in the other room work like a charm and much older. Waiting for Best Buy store to open up to return and get a tower fan that blows cool air and not heat.

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 SocialSupport@HelenOfTroy.com. Thank you.
- Pros mentioned:Cooling, Noise level
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.
I would recommend this to a friend 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

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had bought this for my friend who’s ac went out and decided to get them this fan because the reviews were so good.

Doesn’t cool small breeze
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I put this together when I got it. I had high expectations for the fan. I put it on high and I got next to nothing out of it. What a joke. This is nothing like the reviews that I read. This fan is going back.

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.

Terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fan makes a really irritating tapping noise when it is running at the lowest speed (kind of ironic considering it should be quiet). I wanted to return it but it is insanely hard to disassemble.

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.

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
