Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote, White, HYF260

I love this Honeywell fan. I ordered this one from Amazon because I already had another one from another store about 5 years ago. It is quiet; takes up very little space, and has several modes. Not only does it rotate because it's an oscillating fan, it has a timer where it can be set anywhere from 1 to 8 hours and then shut off, and most importantly, I love that it has a remote which can be easily stored in the back of the fan for cool or cold days when it's not in use. Just remember to remove the batteries when not in use for better battery life. Now that I have two, I keep one in my dining room downstairs in my home and one upstairs in my master bedroom. I do have central air, but I don't want to keep my central air running all day when I'm not around or in another part of my home. I also do not sleep with my central air on so this fan is perfect though I have ceiling fans but they can be a tad noisy. I keep this one next to my bad and it oscillates throughout the night and keeps me very cool and it is very quiet. When you order it from Amazon, you do have to put it together yourself but it's an easy fix. Just slip the top into the bottom, click and go. I just love it. I'm going to get another one for my guest bedroom. No need in spending a fortune on central air if it's not necessary. I think this one is well priced and it will last a long time because my first one is about 5 years old and still running smoothly. Did I mention how quiet it is? I love the quietness. Sometimes I forget that it's on because it's so quiet. Love it!!! You should get one.

First reviewed on August 19th, 2019: I purchased this Honeywell HYF290B tower fan for a hallway in my home. I have window air conditioners in my exercise room and living room, and I wanted to disperse the air a little more evenly as the exercise room stays cold while the hallway is noticeably warmer. I had been using a small box fan to blow air into the room to circulate cold air into the hallway, but it is very old, and I knew there had to be a better option somewhere on Amazon. Tower fans caught my eye because they oscillate, or rotate back and forth. This means it can alternate blowing air into my exercise room and down the hall, which should be great for circulation. In practice, the fan is ineffective because it doesn't blow very hard, even on the highest setting. The name of the fan is Quietset, and in that regard, it excels. It has 8 speeds, sleep, whisper, and calm, all the way up to "Power Cool". All of the fan modes are very quiet, but that's because they aren't blowing much air at all. I can hold my hand two-and-a-half feet in front of the fan and not feel it blowing on the highest setting. I moved the fan to the center of the hallway, away from the wall, to make sure it wasn't starved for air on the intake in the back, and it still didn't blow very much air. I set it up to test it for a few days and realized the discrepancy between the exercise room temperature and the hallway temperature was greater with this tower fan than with my old mini-box fan. I purchased this tall fan expecting a tower of air, and it simply doesn't provide it. On the positive side, the fan seems to be well built. It has a relatively small profile, and it is very quiet. It includes a remote and 7 levels of power. The light is dimmable, so it may be useful in a bedroom just to keep the air from getting stale at night in a room with no ceiling fan. I can't recommend it for any other application, and I wish I had saved the box to send it back. 2/5 stars UPDATE: June 30, 2020, I moved to a new home in November of 2019 and brought this fan with me. When setting it up, I noticed that the housing wasn’t secure, and one piece of the plastic was pushed in on the side (see updated photo). I didn’t know if this had occurred during the move or prior to it. I pushed it back together so that the sides were air tight and used the fan again. This time, there was a solid stream of air coming out of the front of the fan, which now meets my performance expectations. I have it 15 feet away in the living room and can feel a strong breeze on the highest setting, but it is still quiet enough that it is not annoying or distracting. The best part is that it comes with a remote control, so I was able to program it into my Logitech Harmony 650 and 660 remotes (purchased on Amazon) so I can control it across the room. I am able to see the lights on top to know what speed setting it is on. The oscillation works well. Overall, I am supremely satisfied with the fan now and highly recommend it. 5/5 stars

One of the best fans I have purchased. Its quiet. Air is cooler instantly without the loud and forceful feeling of a typical fan with blades. It oscillates which cools a whole room. The remote is a great convenience when relaxing. The only simple install was putting the base of the fan together. Highly recommend

I've used this fan for a while now, and it's amazing. It's lightweight, easy to use, and cools off rooms by a lot. There are like 8 different settings which is really nice, and I sleep with the highest setting. You are also able to either dim/turn off the LED light, oscillate, or even set the fan on a timer. I keep it on 24/7 and have had no issues with it, although I do wish that they had a more powerful setting (its already really powerful, i just like to feel like im in Antarctica haha). Also, when the power goes out and then back on, you have to manually turn the fan back on. This does suck a bit, like last week (middle of june) I was gone for about a week, and the power went out at my house and I didn't know. When I got back and walked into my room, it was extremely hot since the fan hadn't turned back on. Although after about 10 minutes of me turning it back on the room cooled off immensely

Excellent fan, VERY quiet at lower speeds, moves a lot of air when greater cooling is needed, and BONUS! a remote control! My only wish: adding some sort of optional hooks that can be clipped into slots on the side as cord storage the way upright vacuum cleaners store cords. Or, some sort of storage within the base of the fan. That is the ONLY downside I have found for this fan! I also appreciate optionally having the speed indicator stay on all the time on the model I selected. Small space taken where it stands. One hand light weight.

I read a lot of reviews before buying the fan, I bought it mostly because the brand Honeywell is a brand that I recognize for heating and cooling. I have mostly used this in my bedroom and I have to say it is one of the best purchases I’ve made from Amazon in a while. This isn’t a fan that’s going to make you feel like you’re in a cyclone, however, it does do a great job of circulating air and I absolutely love the white noise feature. I do wish it was a tiny bit taller, but overall it is a great fan and I sleep much better now that I have it. It also does not blow too much air that hits my husband on his side of the bed as he is always freezing. on sale doing prime days so I can pick up another one for my living room.

This is a deluxe fan that I easily put together. It's fairly tall, which I like and runs smooth and quiet. It's a calming breeze! ❤️ Buy it

Another Edit: I have since got another fan from another company called "Dreo", which are right here on Amazon. Now that fan was quiet. Way more quiet then any of these Quietset fans I got.. the first or the replacements. So my suggestion, skip honeywell and go look at the Dreo tower fans. Much better. **Update to My Original Review that is below** So I changed my star Rating for the fan from 2 Stars Down to 1. Honeywell, as a company, has been good at sending replacements and working with me, however, they can't seem to get me a model of this fan that actually works as it should. The first replacement had a loud buzz to it, the second replacent had a bad rumble to it, and now the third replacement, which I received today, is quieter, however in 3 out of the 8 modes available, there is this big vibrating rumble you can feel in the floor, and hear. Very Annoying. The motor is still loud even in sleep mode, although this is the first one I can almost deal with the noise the motor makes. Do yourself a favor -- skip this fan. A good warranty is good, but its useless if the model sucks so bad that everytime they send you one it has a problem with it. ** End of Edit ** Short / Quick version: Pros: Looks great, Slim, lightweight, Remote Control responds well, a decent amount of air, easy to put together, Honeywell has awesome (if not slow) customer service! Cons: -- Dealbreaker for me: Annoying motor noise cancels out any quietness you get -- the questionable build quality of base you put together Long Version: I ordered this fan due to recommendations for it on almost every page I looked up fans on. I was looking for a quiet and cool setting to watch tv with it and to sleep with a quieter fan. I had an older Honeywell tower fan which is awesome, minus the top panel stopped working and you have to use the remote, it's still useful to this day. It was just noisy, and I lost a lot of features with that top panel of buttons not working. So I figured it's time for an upgrade, and with all those recommendations and the luck I had with this other Honeywell I have had for many many years, I got this fan. - The initial hookup and impression - After receiving one fan that was broken, I got this one and it seemed in good shape. I set it up, which was easy. The base is a little worrisome on build quality, but if you are careful snapping it together, it shouldn't be an issue. Then I plugged it in and turned it on. This was when the disappointment started. - Quiet (Or not?) - The sleep mode had very little air noise. Great. However, there is this annoying vibration motor buzzing noise that makes up for it. All I heard was BUUUZUUZUZUUZUZUZUZUZUUUUZUZUZUZUZUZU (yeah, like that). It drove me nuts. I'd rather have a noisy tower fan with lots of air noise. I turned it up to level 5, (which is called Relax), which is what I consider the first "power setting" and it sounded more like a normal fan then. However, after a few seconds, it starts this weird vibration noise again. THUMTHUMTHUMTHUMTHUM but make it like x100 faster than how you can say it with your mouth. Not as annoying, but still annoying. If I were to squeeze the fan with my hands, the noise would stop, which to me suggests a problem with something loose or a design issue with handling vibrations from the motor. I contacted Amazon, being annoyed because this was my second fan, and was graciously given a refund. - Feedback to Honeywell - Being very disappointed, I contacted Honeywell and conveyed my disappointment with this product. They responded by asking me a few questions and then to my surprise sent me a new one, no charge or anything. I have now received yet another one of these Fans, and guess what. IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING! So this has to be a design issue, or I'm the unluckiest person in the world when it comes to fans. Is it useful? Sure. Is it worthy of being called a Quietset? Not in my eyes. It may make less air noise than many other fans, but that motor vibration buzz sound is just too much for me. I can't say if this would be as annoying to you other customers or not, but it's definitely not as quiet as I was led to believe. - Performance and Design - The power is pretty good. People say it's weak, but in my moderate-sized bedroom, I think it does pretty well. If it wasn't for that noise, it would be perfect for me. The design itself though is pretty well done. It looks nice, and it's very skinny and lightweight. The LED on top isn't that bad, you can turn it way down via the button on the control panel and I didn't find it intrusive at night at all. So overall, if I could do it again, I wouldn't purchase this fan. It's just not worth it, especially for the price. The annoying vibration motor noise is just too much. So since I have it, I will make use of it in the noisy times of my residence in the noisiest of areas or at least with a lot of traffice, but for what I was looking for in my bedroom, it looks like I will have to look elsewhere.

Looks very stylish in a room, cools well and is super quiet compared to a normal fan. Can easily watch tv at normal volume and it doesn't distract from the tv.

Enfría muy bien y es muy silencioso. Honeywell es una de las mejores marcas a nivel mundial. Es un producto muy duradero y de buena calidad. Estoy reemplazando otro igual que compré hace ocho años y que aún funciona perfectamente, pero ya tiene bastante uso, así que decidí aprovechar que éste estaba de oferta por el Hot Sale. El anterior se lo regalé a una persona que lo necesita.
