Powerful fan
Wow !! What a fantastic fan!! I'm in awe of all the different settings especially the white noise!! I love having a fan on at night and this surpassed all expectations!! It's quiet but powerful! The height is perfect for the air too reach you! I love it comes with a remote so you don't have to adjust!! This should be a must have for anyone !! A great product overall and definitely a 10/10

Nice fan with an irritating design flaw.
This is a nice quiet fan really made for the bedroom. The control panel has a light on it that comes on anytime you make and adjustment with the remote control but the light stays on and you have to get out of bed to turn off the light at the fan control panel. Even the cheaper model HYF260 the light goes off after 15 seconds. Bad design flaw.

    Best fan I have ever owned!
    This is such an excellent fan! We use a fan all year long and this one is by far our favorite! It is powerful and definitely cools the whole room (We have ours in our bedroom) but is very quiet at the same time, which is great at night while we are trying to sleep. The settings are easy to understand and I also loves that it does oscillate. It also has a little remote (also easy to use and understand) and when not in use it has a place to store the remote behind the fan which I found very clever! Definitely recommended!

    Honeywell whole room tower fan is awesome
    Really luv this fan, especially being in Mississippi. The weather hear is so humid, no matter what time of year. It so quiet, and works better than fans. I luv it. Never even know its on. It has so many settings, plus timers also. Can just use my remote to turn it on or off, or change settings. Really great quality. Easy to put together too. Everyone needs one of these. Check out all the settings. Even has white noise. I hate sound when I sleep, so perfect for me. Worth every penny. Will cool a whole room, plus I don't use my AC as much. That says alot coming from Mississippi.

    Perfect Size Fan!
    We've been using our Honeywell QuietSet Oscillating Whole Room Tower Fan for a couple of weeks and it's perfect. It is very quiet compared to our last one. It has many settings to meet all your needs. It is very strong. I can put it on low and you can feel the breeze anywhere in the room. I love that it has a sleep setting and I also love the remote for those moments when I'm just too tired to get up. Too perfect, love it!

    Great airflow!
    I love this fan because it is so quiet! I like that it has different speeds and a timer. I'm surprised by how much air it pushes around. It was bigger than I expected but it is tall and slim so it fits perfectly in our room.

    Really great fan with lots of settings
    This fan was super easy to assemble. It came with printed directions, but it also had instructions attached to the cord in case the printed instructions were damaged or missing (I assume). There were lots of settings for fan speeds, and my favorite feature of all was that you can turn the lights off. I am really sensitive to lights, and I really hate having blue lights on appliances especially at night, they're so bright and distracting. The one issue I have is that the buttons aren't lighted, they just have a print on them so you can't see them well at night or in low light. I do really like that you can tuck the cord into the base so it's not all over the floor. The fan itself is really powerful but also really quiet.

    Great options
    This fan was simple and easy to put together you just had to snap the base together and then put the tower on the base and then lock it in and you are good to go. The height is a good size and the slim size really sells me, this will be something I keep in the living room I can slide it into a corner with no problems when not in use but can also just as easily pull it out to use it. It has a remote that fits right into the back so when you're not using it you don't lose it. This fan has 8 options on it which is great and on top of the speeds you can have it occolate or be still, you can dim the lights or have none at all, you can put it on a timer or just use it like a regular fan. Nothing to fancy but I love the simplicity of it. It definitely gets the job done and I think it'll look nice with any decor.

    Powerful stream of smooth cool air
    I typically use a box fan, but my room has been rather hot since the landlord always keep my room hot during winter times, so I decided to replace it with an oscillating fan for improved circulation. There are eight alternative options, for users to  experience strong - natural or sleep speed adjustments of airflow with a single tap to meet our chosen cooling demands. The user-friendly top-mounted control panel with vivid LED light indications has several speed settings, fan modes, toggles oscillation on/off, and a simple programmed automated timer that allows you to sleep well and saves energy. It's nice and robust, and it's extremely simple to put together, thus ( I put them together myself in under 5 minutes)

    AMAZING FAN!
    We just moved to a new house and some of the areas arent as well vented as we would like, this tower is just what we need to get good air flow to the upstairs portions. Super easy to set up and i love that it oscillates! Great for a bonus room, or to sit on a stair landing in between spaces that doesnt have a direct line for air.

    Great fan
    This is the 2nd Honeywell fan that I have purchased. In my 78 years on this planet I have purchased many fans but these are the best ever. They are even in my Dr's office. The greatest asset is that they make my wife very happy, and if mama is happy...........

    Excellent fan!
    Easy to assemble - 2 steps just take your time. Quiet and saves space, which both were essential. Saw this rated as the top fan to buy on CNN and its performance doesn't disappoint. Very happy. Love the remote and the ability to dim the light if company comes. WELL worth it as there are a lot of junk fans on the market.

    Excellent purchase.
    Love it. Easy to assemble. Easy to use. It is the quietest fan I ever owned. It comes with a timer, 8 speeds, oscillating mode, a night dimmer for the control panel, a remote control, and space on the back of the fan to store the remote. Wow. I recommend this.

    Disappointed
    I was hesitant on buying this because of people's issues with the stand but that's not my issue with this it's actually really easy to put together. The speeds of the fan SUCK. It's barely better than my old fan and I'm disappointed for how much money I just spent…

    Could You Do Better ? I Doubt It
    This fan was a revelation. It replaced a 3-speed Vornado that, even on its lowest setting, sounded like the inside of a wind tunnel. The HYF290B distributes just as much cool air, far more efficiently; and even on the highest of its EIGHT (8) settings, runs more quietly than the Vornado on its lowest . The one improvement that could be made is, in the grand scheme of things, rather minor: The settings can only be changed sequentially, from lower to higher; meaning that, if you have the fan set on level 4 and you want to lower it to level 3, you need to cycle through 5, 6, 7, etc. until you reach 3. I consider this to be a VERY minor 'nit.' Given its reasonable cost, I can't imagine finding a better value in a room fan this size anywhere.

    AWESOME FAN! BUT!
    The Honeywell Tower Fan itself is wonderful! However, the stand that comes with it, is difficult to assemble as it is very light plastic. I had to apply gorilla glue to the seems of it. Don't let this stop you from purchasing the Honeywell Tower Fan, as Honeywell company itself is reputable and produce quality products, they produce the thermostats that are very good

    Bottom Part Breaks
    We had a similar model to this and it was fine but the bottom stand broke (screw didn't want to hold) and the whole fan is lop sided. Other than that it was a good fan, motor still works and we loved that it was quiet. The new one is similar but smaller which isn't necessarily bad, but there's still a design flaw with the stand. After putting the two plastic pieces together--they click together, it doesn't hold the body at all and falls apart because it has no screws. I can't believe they would design something so stupid! Fix this design issue Honeywell! You have such a perfect fan that is quiet and you can't even use it because of a silly design flaw.

    Quiet
    Primary reason for selecting this fan was because it is very quiet. The five air flow settings are appreciated. Only problem is with the remote. It has to be aimed at the sensor on the fan which could be a problem when oscillating. So, I really do not use the remote and this is no problem.

    No regret
    I love it, it is also very quite. It comes with a remote and a compartment on the fan to put the remote for the fan when you want to store it. It's a space saver no regret here.
