Honeywell QuietSet 5, HYF260W

Honeywell makes the best tower fan. I have had one for years, now, and decided to get another one for the living room. These fans have multiple settings described as: sleep, calm, white noise, refresh, and power cool. This fan also oscillates which helps cool a larger space. It comes with a remote control, which will be nice, as I actually lost the one from our other Honeywell fan. The power of this fan is amazing and the power cool setting is really cold. Carrying it from one place to another is easy, as it has a good carrying handle built in on the opposite side of the controls. I paid $56.99 for this fan, and I think it's a great value and would definitely buy it again. I highly recommend it.

My sister has one if these Honeywell upright fans and I loved hers so much I bought one too. This will sound hard to believe but this fan has so many different settings for the blower/fan. At times it even feels like air conditioning. I couldn’t believe how cold it was blowing out. It has a quiet mode which is nice for sleeping. It’s well worth the money!!

This fan was extremely easy to assemble - I used a screwdriver and my hands. There were just a few steps that took me less than 10 minutes to complete. Once assembled, the fan worked SO WELL! There are 5 speed settings, a button for swivel, a button for a timer, a button for the power, and a button for the speed. We don't use the remote since we leave this fan on 24/7. We keep this on when we sleep and use the 3rd sleep option. This is just loud enough for my spouse who likes the fan sound for sleeping, but not so loud that it bothers me when I sleep with silicone earwax (spouse snores and I'm a light sleeper). The lights on the top of the fan turn off after about 5-10 seconds - this was a setting from out of the box. I don't care to change this, especially since I don't like sleeping with any visible light in the room. When we need to cool down from a workout, we put it on the top speed and it quickly cools us down. This top speed is very loud, so we don't use it when watching TV. During the day, we keep this on the lowest or 2nd to lowest setting since we aren't in the bedroom much. It keeps the airflow (apartment with no ceiling fan) going for our dogs. When watching TV, the 3 lowest speeds aren't too loud (sits next to TV). I wanted this in black, but didn't mind paying less for the white model. The white is a matte white that is very pure in color. If you are still reading and are still hesitating on purchasing this fan, this is your sign to get this fan. It's awesome. You won't regret your purchase.

I am going in to year 5 with this fan. It has been used primarily in my son's room at night to circulate air while he's sleeping. We have pulled it to other areas of the house occasionally, though. It is very quiet! We've lost the remote long ago, but it worked like a charm. The only reason I have taken a star off is because about 2 years ago, the fan speed stopped changing. There's only 1 speed and it's the lowest speed. The lights indicating the different speeds changes when the button is pushed, but the actual fan speed never changes. Every other function still works and it is still very quiet!

Excellent fan! Quiet, many speed choices. I like that it has a remote.

This fan appears to have a lifespan of about five years, which is quite acceptable considering its daily use. However, after six years, you’ll eventually encounter this sound. Unfortunately, the fan is now stored in the garage, where it seems to function properly. It still blows the same amount of air and maintains consistent performance. The only issue is that it has developed a rattling sound, which is no longer white noise for the house.

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!

After a year and half of use, i've decided this fan has become too noisy with a grinding noise to be able to sleep with. I don't know if it just happens to be a fluke. It wasn't like this when I first got it but after about 6 months, this noise developed. Oddly, it is noisier at lower speeds; at the highest speed, it's noticeably quieter. Unfortunately, at that level, it is too strong for my preference. I do love the design to minimize use of space in my already small bedroom. It does well keeping to move air in the room and has kept me cool during the warmest months, but I've decided I deserve better when I sleep so am actively looking for a replacement.

This fan is quiet, very cooling, and comes with a remote. You can also set a time for the fan to auto turn off or just leave it on forever if you find yourself to be always hot.

É muito silencioso e tem uma potência ótima pra categoria de ventiladores de torre. Para o verão carioca talvez seja fraquinho, mas pro dia a dia é excelente.

El ventilador tiene la calidad Honeywell, tiene 5 velocidades, es silencioso y estable. Cuenta con control remoto de baterías. Me encantó!

The product is good looking and working fine. Pros: No noise at all. For a single person it is good enough. Decent look. Remote works fine. Cons: It covers very small area. There is extra stabilizer/adopter, you can't directly plug and play and where ever you will Move it you have to carry that adopter/Power converter which around 1.5 kg. 2 kg Weight. Not value for money.

I like the design, also that it is not too noisy and spreads the air evenly.
