Honeywell HYF260 Quiet Set Whole Room Tower Fan, White

Purchased to replace a similar but older model. I'm impressed with the improvements made to this version. It's light weight and easy to operate. The controls on this unit are located near the bottom (the older version I had was at the top). It cools efficiently and quietly, although the top setting is a little more audible (but who cares). It does work very well in cooling a bedroom that has a PC and a PS4. The price is reasonable for what you get, in my opinion. I haven't used the remote because I don't usually need to change the fan speed. I like how sleek it looks, and so far it's rather durable.

I have the older model and it could develop some issues with noisy creaking as it rotated. This model seems redesigned to alleviate that pretty well. A very solidly performing fan, it moves a lot of air and has good settings for different speeds and a timer. It now also includes a remote which is handy. It's a slightly unusual shape like a chunky square but otherwise works well and can slot into the back of the fan.This is the best oscillating tower fan I've used so far, highly recommended.

I was first impressed by the unusual design of the feet/base which is not only very functional and was easy to put together, but it was designed for sleek and more compact shipping. The quietness and strong airflow were the next impressive features of the design. The low (sleep) setting is absolutely fantastic - so quiet, it's nearly imperceptible for a delicate breeze that keeps the air moving without disturbing a single hair on my head. I haven't needed the highest setting (very strong output), but I probably will in the heat of summer. I've used this fan daily for over a month, so I can't speak to the longevity yet. I am beyond happy with this fan so far. It's the most well-designed and crafted fan I've ever had. I'm not crazy about the responsiveness of the remote - it's possible my batteries aren't the strongest, but again, the thoughtful designers put a cubby space on the back of the fan that holds the remote when you're not needing it, and it's also a unique chunky shape that won't slip into the couch cushions or get mixed up with all the other remotes that our devices now seem to come with.

Lots of words have been written regarding the different types of fans: the newer tower fans, like this Honeywell HYF260 or the traditional round multi-blade fans we grew up with. As much as I prefer a traditional large floor fan, there are plenty of times when that's not an option because of limited space or noise. This Honeywell Tower is a great solution for this type of situation. The white version allows it to blend with most corners and included remote control allows for convenient setting adjustments to suit your needs.It's pretty quiet for the first couple of settings but definitely lets its presence be known when you're at maximum speed. Not horribly so to where you can't hear yourself think - but definitely it can be heard in the room.Depending on the ambient temperature, the tower definitely keeps our un air-conditioned social area comfortable with 10 people in the room. Like most reviews, things are relative depending on your expectations: it's not an AC unit so we did not expect some mystic transformation. However, it's a compact and unobtrusive fan that definitely makes most rooms more comfortable when it's on.A good value and worth considering.

I have had a lifelong obsession with fans. I've always been hot-natured, plus the airflow and white noise are soothing for my anxiety. I have used this fan at least 8 hours every day for 5-1/2 years, and it is still blowing strong!I have used all kinds of box and oscillating fans, which can move a lot of air, but are bulky and usually loud. This tower fan is great for small spaces, and the sound is very pleasing and consistent for sleep with no rattles or whining.My only small complaint is that it is really hard to take it apart for cleaning - so this may not be a good fan for someone with severe allergies, especially if they have reduced mobility or dexterity. Wikihow has some decent directions, but not entirely accurate, and it is a real booger to get the casing apart! There are 7 screws in the back - 4 Phillips and 3 star-shaped. The back half of the casing clips into the front half (which is probably why the fan is so quiet - it doesn't depend on just the screws to stay together). Someone with large hands might be able to squeeze the back half to release the clips, but I couldn't. The only way I could separate the two parts was to lay the fan on its side with the seam facing up and gently press with my knee from the back half toward the front half. I did this 2-3 times down each side to pop the clips individually. Then there are 3 Phillips screws inside holding the blade cylinder in place. I gave the cylinder a good scrub in the sink with a skinny brush intended for cleaning drinking straws. I put a towel on the floor under the fan itself and cleaned it with Dawn Powerwash and a 1" brush, taking care not to get the motor wet. It turned out great and was easy to put back together. I'm sure at some point I will break those clips during disassembly, but I'm fully prepared to buy another one of these fans when the time comes!

This fan works perfect. It is quiet , but still cools the room. Also works perfect with the remote.
