Okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The fan looks really nice and has a lot of cool features; however it does not blow hard at all. There are different types of levels but the highest isn't as strong as my other tower fans. Will return when I have the time.

Keeps us cool at night!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With 8 fan speeds and a remote, there is plenty to like about this fan. the only downside is that it feels a bit fragile. however we have knocked it over by accident a few times and its still going just fine!

||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The highest setting isn’t the best and the first two settings are practically the same. Works well but nothing special.

Poor craftsmanship.
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Fan blows great, has great coverage, and many settings. These are all fantastic qualities. The reason for the poor rating is the clicking noise that started about 3 weeks into owning it. It makes a loud clicking when it oscillates. I can't figure out what to do and customer support was not helpful. Would not recommend.

Average room fan
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Blows decent but not great, doesn’t swivel far, lightweight , isn’t cold at all

Posted .Thank you for your feedback. 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.

Oscillating fan
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quiet but far too small, not powerful enough to boost air in an average size bedroom.

It rattles more than it moves air.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's only ok at moving, but my god is it noisey. Not like a fan noise either, you can hear all of the plastic in this thing rattling while it's one, like all of the screws need to be tightened. If I push in on the sides to push the plastic pieces together it sounds like a normal fan.

Waste of time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fan is quite but that's about it, power not there. It was not powerful at all. It's a waste of time and money.

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.

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.

Faulty unit... great Best Buy experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My Best Buy experience was great. Unfortunately I got a faulty product. When you turn on the fan, there are strong smells of plastic. I thought that this was just because it was new but things never got better. It is under warranty. I signed up on the Honeywell website and they are sending me a replacement. Unfortunately Fed Ex has delayed the delivery by a week already. Maybe I can give the new fan a better rating.

Don’t buy it
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really a bad fan. Not worth the money the only thin it does uses your electric but don’t cool you down. There are better fans for the same price on a competitor website.

Not the best advertising
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A/C went down this summer and needed a quick and easy way to cool down whichever room we were in temporarily while we waited for a repairman to come. Due to the advertisement of "cooling options" and "temperature settings", we purchased two fans. Figured out pretty fast in a 90 degree household that it really didn't have any kind of cooling options or temperature settings. It just blew hot air everywhere and we were absolutely miserable. Needless to say, very misleading advertisement. I'm sure they would be great if the room was already cold.

Posted .We appreciate you sharing your feedback. 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. We have made note of you comments and passed it along. If you have any questions, please contact us by emailing [email protected]. Thank you.
Not great...doesn’t cool
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This fan is OK. There are much better options. It doesn’t really make a difference in terms of cooling a room. I would’ve returned but I got rid of the box.

||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. Once they set it up and turned it on they didn’t like how the fan felt in their room. They gave it another chance and it just wasn’t working out for them

Go Bladeless or Buy A Box Fan
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didnt even last 24hrs before it started to behave abnormally... when I went to sleep I had the unit set to "Calm", and at 3 in the morning it awoke me making a very loud distressing fan noise. I recommend you save your self some money and buy an old reliable box fan. Words fail to describe how disappointed I am with this product...
