HoneywellQuietSet Whole Room Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote, White, HYF260

Works extremely good, cools better than most other fans. Something about the air is cooler. It has several wind speeds and is pretty quiet. I love the fact it has a remote control. The size is perfect for any room, and fan can even be used on a timer.

Honeywell Tower Fans are quiet with gentle breeze when set on the lower 3 speeds yet powerful air flow when set on the top 2 speeds. The oscillation feature is silent and works great. You won’t find a better quality Tower Fan for the price. I bought 2 fans…should have bought 3.Assembly was easy. Two pieces snap together to make the base and the fan sits on top. Comes with remote if you have ambulatory disabilities. Remote snaps into the back and out of sight if not needed.

I’ve been using this fan for a few weeks, and I’m genuinely impressed. The five speed settings let me fine-tune the airflow without drowning out conversation or disrupting sleep. The “Sleep” mode is whisper-quiet, which is perfect for night use, and the display dims completely so there’s no glowing distraction.Setup was simple, and I love how slim the design is—it fits easily into the corner of my room without drawing attention. The remote is handy, though you do have to aim it directly at the fan, which isn’t a dealbreaker, just something to note.Oscillation covers a good range, and the programmable timer is a lifesaver on busy days. The overall build feels a bit lightweight, so I wouldn’t recommend bumping it around too much. Also, cleaning could be easier—accessing the internal parts takes some finesse.Bottom line: If you’re looking for a quiet, compact fan that offers solid performance and sleek style, this one delivers. Would absolutely buy again.

I love this fan so much! It works well, I love the fan speeds (airflow is phenomenal!), the oscillation and the bed timer! ! It is very quiet as advertized. Size is perfect! Slim but tall, as tall as my couch so I can hide it if needed.However, I'm giving it a 4 ⭐ because it is missing the remote. I bought (Used- very good), but I expected all the pieces to be there. Remote isn't necessary but would have been preferred. Great buy!!

I absolutely love this fan. I put it in my baby’s nursery and it has been amazing—it’s very quiet, so it doesn’t disturb sleep at all. Assembly was super easy and only took a few minutes. The slim design makes it perfect for fitting into tight spaces.What really stands out is the excellent temperature control and powerful airflow—it keeps the room comfortable without being overwhelming. On top of that, it’s a great value for the price. Highly recommend this fan if you’re looking for something quiet, powerful, and affordable!

This fan works well and is quiet for the most part. When I have it rotating there is an occasional noise but not too loud. I had one of these fans before (in black) and that is why I ordered another only in white.

Having read so many good reviews (but not ignoring the not so good), I decided to take a chance and lean toward the good ones. After all, Honeywell has been in business for decades, and is (or at least used to be) generally known as a manufacturer of quality items.Nice box! Not such a great impression on opening it: 3 lightweight snap-together plastic pieces much like a cheap kid's toy. Legos are sturdier. OK, I've got nothing against plastic; that's how it's advertised and whatever else can one expect these days?BUT! Try to get the cheap plastic base and cheap plastic housing aligned...using incomplete, teeny tiny, not even fully accurate directions...they might as well not even be included. Not to mention that although they mention multiple times to align the BACK of the housing with the BACK of the base, they don't tell you WHICH side of the IDENTICAL pieces is supposed to be the back of the base! Nothing printed or embossed on the pieces, nothing shown or stated in the directions...not a clue on either of the two different sets of English directions enclosed [one booklet, one tag]. Why is that? They realized something wasn't clear? So they went back and repeated the same thing, changing a word here and there? And if you happen to need directions in a second language, forget it. There are none.Since the pieces look exactly alike and are clearly SUPPOSED to fit onto the housing exactly the same way, HOW is one supposed to know which one is the back? MUST be important, right? Oherwise, why would it be mentioned multiple times? Must be some secret reason for including useless directions. Apparently it's really supposed to be assembled by guess and by golly.. (Anyone else's mother ever say that?)No other choice, so that's what I did. Doesn't matter. Both ways, it's nearly impossible to get the base to fit on the housing The directions describe and show a supposed " tab." OK. Except there IS no tab! I fished around and stood on my head looking for any piece that might be intended to fit into a hidden empty space. Nada.Now, lest you think I’m some not-too-bright-not-too-inclined-toward-logic.-mechanics,-or-spatial-relationships, I'm no dummy. No. Previously owned / operated successfully a small home-repair business single-handedly. Installed/repaired/fashioned, hundreds of typical home what-nots including plumbing, electrical stuff roofing, drywall, DIY assembly…you name it, I did it. Advanced college degree; I assure you I'm no ain't-bright when it comes to this kind of stuff.Although the English so-called "directions" are far better than directions typically written by those whose first language is not English, it makes no difference. They are inaccurate, unclear, and make no sense. Saving grace: At least they're spelled right.If one is persistent enough, patient beyond mother Theresa, and not prone to anger-management issues, the goal can eventually be accomplished. After many creative attempts, I finally counted the moulded-in plastic doo-dads, did some geometric eyeballing, and repeatedly tried the "if at first, you don't succeed" method. Push it together this way… slide it together that way, jam it back the other way, turn it upside down, turn it down-side up, roll it on the floor, fervently pray to the assembly gods...you get the picture. Mind you, you can't be too pushy with this flimsy plastic because it will easily crack…and then you can't return it (which is all it deserves).The illustration (yes, that's singular) doesn't help because it does not clearly picture the pieces, the arrow is in the wrong place, and it is so small that one has use a magnifying glass to see it. Nor do the text directions describe it adequately or completely. Basically, it's far from evident that the so-called "tabs" and the whatever-you-want to–call-the-unnamed-"alleys" are supposed to fit together. Unless, perhaps, you can somehow climb inside this stretched-out tunnel the diameter of a coffee can. Call me a quitter if you'd like; I simply was not willing.Don't expect the base and housing to fit together snuggly as would normally be expected. There is no such thing as snug here. The problem is that they don't tell you that! It's not at all evident in either picture or text that the non-snuggly parts are supposed to rotate against each other. Nor is there any mention of occasional WD-40 to prevent the non-snugglers from wearing themselves out with friction.The one--and only one--piece that is supposed to hold the whole thing upright is a large plastic screw nut. Looks fairly sturdy; just pray that it neither cracks nor loosens. (Wouldn’t something that constantly rotates back and forth, after hour, day after day, be expected to eventually create a bit of friction slowing the thing down. Or God forbid, causing a fire? Guess not. No mention of any kind of lubrication at all, even under the cleaning and maintenance section. Truly not a terribly safe appliance. Perhaps because they don't expect it to last long enough for such friction to develop.One positive point: At least they do tell you to where the fuse is located and to slide it forward. Rather unusual for an appliance like this, but don't forget! If you plug it in and it does nothing, go back and check the fuse.The so--called cord "guides"? Ha! IF you can find the two intended tiny blobs of plastic. I honestly thought mine was an alternate model because nothing inside the housing looks anything even close to guide for a cord. After much consternation and failure, I tried fitting the cord into a tiny little sticky-outy thing about the size of a ladybug...no wider than the cord itself. Wiggle it around it a bit, and yes, the thing wedges in. But don't expect it to stay in because the cord is about 1/4" wide, and the lady bug is about 1/8" wide…and never the twain shall hug. Get out the duct tape or let it fall and drag, hoping you don't trip over it. Honestly, this would be an EXCEPTIONALLY EASY assembly... IF. Just three pieces, nothing more. IF only the "fit-together what-nots" were either a tad bigger, marked, described and/or pictured, or just plain easily visible to the eye--trained or untrained--it would be a cinch!!!Certainly not the most intuitive controls, though admittedly, I did not read that section of the directions. (Honestly, anyone with half a brain shouldn't need directions at all for this thing.) Haven't tried the remote yet; I'm too worn out with exhaustion.As for operation, today is the perfect central-Ohio day to test it. I hate air conditioning, but this thing was such a trial to put together, I was sweating profusely long before I succeeded…had to turn the AC on. I was looking forward to a cool breeze after all this. Turned it on full blast, sat 5 feet in front of it in a very small room… not one iota better than my tiny little desktop fan. Even my parents’ old 1950s floor fan circulated air better than this!It has taken me a ridiculous amount of time to write this silly review. I am STILL sitting 5 feet in front of the thing, STILL sweating, and now must turn the air conditioner on again.Guess it's that old saw: You get what you pay for. No wonder it's half the price of the other tower fans on Amazon. No wonder it's supposedly "19% off." (Yeah, off the SUGGESTED RETAIL price, which only the hoity-toitiest of retailers expect consumers to pay.)Enough drivel. Time to liberally fill a glass with wine, box up one more Amazon product, and haul it to the UPS store. Not necessarily in that order.

The media could not be loaded. Cools well, easy to assemble. I've had it for about two months. At first it was silent and fabulous. But - conveniently - just past the return window date, it started making a horrible squeaking noise when set to oscillate. I've tried tightening and loosening the connector to see if that helps, but it doesn't. I'm past the return window, otherwise I would return this unit as the squeaking and grinding noise is awful (video with sound is included).
