Honeywell QuietSet Tower (8 Speed Settings, Oscillating 80°, Timer Function, Remote Control, Dimming Options) HYF290

Product Information

But not all tower fans are the same. The most important feature is how effective your fan is at cooling, but there are a variety of factors that determine that. Some fans have integrated thermostats designed to keep an area at a specific temperature, while others only give you various settings options. With a remote, the latter isn’t all that inconvenient since they let you change how the fan reacts without having to walk over to the unit. Honeywell TurboForce Fans are primarily centered on accessibility and performance while delivering an altogether quiet experience (25% quieter than comparable fans). Available in personal to whole room cooling options, Honeywell TurboForce Fans feature increased flexibility with their ability to pivot in multiple directions. What is a QuietSet Fan? Honeywell QuietSet Fans feature a range of quiet operation levels including “sleep” and “white noise”. QuietSet Fans are fitted with aerodynamic blades and a cone shaped air diffuser that’s engineered to deliver a powerful cooling experience with reduced noise. Let the soothing sound of these powerful fans lull you to sleep while also keeping your surroundings cool and comfortable. What is a Comfort Control Fan?

Traditional fans can be dangerous for a variety of reasons. But bladeless fans keep little fingers safe. However, you don’t have to spend more to get that safety. Even though some towers aren’t bladeless, their cages are built so that even small fingers can’t get past them.On its highest setting it produces less air than our old fan, but it's more than enough for a large master bedroom. In fact, we've never used anything above the middle speed setting.

But does it live up to its name? Yes, it actually does. The most impressive thing about it is that the difference between the top and bottom fan speeds isn’t actually that great in terms of volume to the naked ear. Indeed, bringing out the sound level metre reveals a volume of 72.9db at max speed when recorded immediately in front of the fan, dropping to 47db two metres away. That’s both slightly better and worse than the Dyson Pure Cool (70db / 51.9db) in the same metrics, but given the Honeywell is quieter at 2m and costs a fraction of the price, it’s a great result.I didn't think I'd want or need a remote control for a fan but it's very nice to have, especially when running it at night. Gently place the fan on its side, pressing the cord securely into cord guides along the inside of fan base, exiting through the notched opening ensuring a flat and stable base for the fan. We use a fan upstairs to supplement our AC. I use to cool the bedroom/office where I've been working since Covid hit and to cool my side of the bed. Our old fan was a pedestal mount with a 20" blade and at its lowest speed produced too much air to work comfortably. Running it all night would dry out my sinuses. And it was noticeably loud, especially at night. The reduced noise level is partly down to fan speed reduction, of course. Our anemometer reached 3.6m/s immediately in front of the fan (compared to other Honeywell scores of 4.4 and 5.1m/s) but measuring again two metres away, the difference was barely noticeable (0.7m/s against 0.8 and 1.2m/s). It does, however, have a slightly more limited angle of cooling than its stablemates, with a 60-degree spread of air movement, compared to the HO-5500RE’s 70 degrees. Conclusion
