Greater than one weekGood Product. Honey Well obviously is a well known brand for their Fans and Heaters. I got the Black color, looks good and goes well with my bedroom interior. Just not too happy with the 3 Breeze Options. Not sad either, but just not how I expected it would be. The noice levels vary a lot when you use the Breeze options. Not too loud but not constant noise level with Breeze, which is the reason I don’t prefer using that option. But the 3 speed options serves my purpose. Remote control is great. Don’t go for any of those cheap brands available out there. You might think this is a bit more $$ than others but I would say it is worth the price when you compare the Quality and not just the cost.

Greater than one weekI got this to replace my old pedestal fan that finally gave up the ghost and died. So, I am comparing this with what was a wonderfully functional fan. I did like that this new one was a good brand name, so that is why I bought it. The old one was an off brand, but the features were so much better. First, this new one has a nice sturdy stand, much better than the old one, BUT, it came with a chip in the base (no problem to using it though). This new base had a shorter range of height and I needed more height. Luckily, it fit on my old base giving me an extra 8 inches to adjust the height perfectly. This new one has all the features of my old one-3 speeds, but the speeds on this new one are all almost the same!! It has the sleep mode, but it does not slow down much on this mode like the old one that nearly stops in the cycling. I loved my old one on low mode and on sleep, that gentle breeze was so nice to fall asleep to. This new one, I have to make sure it is not directed on me since there is very little difference between the sleep and the full on blowing on you at all times. When its really hot, yes, then the constant on is nice, but for just having air circulation during cooler nights, it is too much. I so wanted to love this new fan and will work with it, but sure wish it had the wonderful features of the old fan. I do have to give it 5 stars for the sturdy stand for if you have large dogs. I have large dogs, but have my fan placed where they cannot tip it on the older, less sturdy stand.

> 3 dayI sleep with a fan on every night, even in the winter. It’s on more hours a day than it’s off. I’m very particular about my fans. I prefer pedestal fans and a good remote is essential. I resisted getting this one for a long time because of some criticisms in some reviews. I really, really wish I hadn’t waited. I honestly think this is the best fan I’ve owned. I had one that was bigger and heavier but it wasn’t quite as good as this one is. The force of the air is strong at the highest setting and there is a real difference between low and medium, and medium and high. I’ve had some fans with 3 or more speeds but the low was often too low and there wasn’t enough difference between medium and high (or sometimes medium and low) to bother using it (med). I use all 3 settings on this fan. The high is sometimes too cold or too strong so I use medium, and it’s perfect. The remote does everything I want other than order take out for me. I truly can’t recommend this fan highly enough.

> 3 dayPROS: • Fairly quiet, yet provides powerful airflow, and well-built • Double bladed fan, bigger inner blades and smaller center blades to increase maximum airflow and cooling • Remote control to access settings, a great addition especially while in bed without having to get up and turn the fan on/off or adjust its settings • Automatic timer turns the fan off at a specified interval (1, 2, 4, or 8 hrs) to reduce energy costs • Solid base foundation, keeping the fan secured to ground • Oscillation is smooth and does not create creaky noises CONS: • No dedicated on/off button at the base controls, and must cycle through the 3 speed settings to turn off or via remote control • LED light at the base can be intrusive at night for those who like sleeping in a completely dark environment USEFUL INFO: • Plastic lock nut to secure the bigger and smaller blades is tighten via counter-clockwise, not the standard clockwise, to ensure it does not loosen over time when the blades are spinning counter-clockwise • When installing the 2 blades, be sure to inspect the inside center of the blades to ensure the slot lines up with the notch on the axle of the base

> 3 dayThe fan was very easy to put together and is easy to use. Make sure to line up the alignment pins on the blades when assembling it. It has good air flow. The noise level is a little high, but not too bad even at max speed. Its a fan... what do you expect? It has a nice weighted base that keeps the fan stable. The height isnt as adjustable as I expected (theres a difference of only about 8-10 from top to bottom heights), but that isnt a problem for me. The post screws down onto the base so that you dont have to worry about the base coming off when moving it and theres a screw on the top part that holds it in place to the post. However, that screw on the top part isnt great and probably wont last being tightened many times. But once set up, you should never need to tighten it or loosen it, so that shouldnt be a problem. The fan screen is metal and the clips holding the front to the back are metal, but seem to be flimsy, so be careful using them. If they end up breaking off at some point, zip ties work wonders for fan screens... just cut off the excess lengths after tying them on. I havent used the remote as I dont have the batteries to fit it and I dont have any real use for a remote anyhow. I either have the fan on or off and that can easily be changed by pressing the button on the fan without having to track down a remote. I wanted to clear up a few things I saw in other reviews prior to buying this. Hopefully this will help anyone who had those issues. * If you are missing the small fan blade and remote, check ALL the cardboard as they are both in the same small piece of cardboard that can easily be missed. * The nut that holds the blades on does not unscrew counter-clockwise like youd expect. Turn it to the right (clockwise) as the directions indicate and it will unscrew easily. This opposite threading prevents it from coming unscrewed as the blade spins. * If your fan is speeding up and slowing down, this is one of the settings. You can disable that easily. If you press the ... button, you cycle between three fan settings. One will stay on at full speed, one will cycle fast and slow. I havent tested the third, but its probably something between those two options. This setting changes the lighted up icons on the right side. For constant full speed, you should have it set to the bottom icon on the right side. * If you arent getting a lot of air flow, change the fan speed by pressing the power button. This changes the lighted up icons on the left side. The top icon is max speed. Note that it isnt going to be as good as a box fan or commercial fan, but its still good. I currently have mine sitting about 13 feet away from me and its hitting me very well. It could be better, but I could also move the fan closer if I really wanted to.

> 3 dayBought this to replace my old Honeywell fan. We use this fan in the bedroom because our townhouse doesn’t circulate air upstairs very well. We usually keep it running all the time. Our last one, same fan just previous model, lasted about 3-4 years I think. Again, that’s with running it almost constantly! These fans give a good, strong airflow. This newer model runs quieter than the old one. The fan itself was easy to assemble and all settings can be adjusted with the remote as well. I definitely recommend it!

> 3 dayMy living room is hot. There is no shade at the front of my home, ever. The summer time is as if the sun is peeking into my front window like a kid at a candy shop. Instead of candy-lust stares I get massive amounts of UV radiation. Most summers my AC will run non-stop between 2pm and 8pm. This little guy helped keep me and my family nice and cool. The oscillating feature is the main reason I bought this. Most days I was able to run this fan on low or medium while bumping my thermostat up 2-3 degrees. The breeze helped keep us cool and we were able to save some energy by giving the AC a tiny break. The remote works well and is easy to toggle through all the functions. I really enjoy the breeze mode. It makes it feel like I am outside enjoying a variable strength breeze. Its not very noisy in my opinion, except when its on high. But its still not very disruptive to whatever else is going on. If youre having a hard time staying cool then I would recommend getting this fan.

> 3 dayI’m commenting on the Honeywell fan that I bought last year. It’s quiet, seems reliable but it’s failing as it doesn’t push much air so it’s a nice idea maybe for the bedroom light is not going to do anything to clear a room or to circulate a good amount of air I’ve been quite a bit of money for it so I’m disappointed by that. As well constructed with great metal grates in the front and the back which make it much easier to deal with dust and hair plastic fans make a messand I’m constantly having to clean them, so I only buy metal grated fans now. Good thing about this Spanish you can set a time on right on the physical unit from 14 or eight hours and I check them periodically. If the unit gets warm I shut it off and give it a rest. With the heat we’ve been having I am now working with five or six fans throughout the house. Trying to find a strong fan that is safe, Stable and can be left on for a while with me not in the room. That’s what has to be, given our warming environment, It’s a nice looking fan and I wish they gave it a little bit more power that would make it perfect I hope the engineers will do that we need it and we don’t have a lot of Safe fans that will last I’m hoping to swell but as I said it doesn’t cool very well.

> 3 dayI read a ton of reviews about different fans and compared different models. I determined that for 50 USD, this is one of the best value options out there. Back in my day, you had to actually stand up and walk over to your fan to turn it on/off or adjust its speed. Now we get remotes which is super convenient, especially if youre all comfy on the couch or in bed. I also noticed a lot of bad reviews about people with issues with their fans? But Im pretty sure those are just rare cases where the delivery people or Amazon warehouse workers jacked something up or dropped the box or something, because my fan arrived in perfect condition, runs quietly and moves air phenomenally. Its relaxing during the day and soothing to sleep with at night. I recommend this fan 100% for anyone thats in the market for an oscillating floor fan.

> 3 dayI love this fan, and Ive had a lot of them. This is the quietest and strongest fan Ive had. the different breeze settings dont thrill me, but they do work. Even in oscillation mode the only noise this fan makes is the sound of air moving, no mechanical noise at all. Assembly has to be figured out by reading through the operating instructions, but it is all there, just takes some common sense. The remote controls all the functions which is great as the buttons on the fan itself are somewhat obscured beneath the large blade assembly. I dont find the blue light buttons on the fan all that bothersome, they arent that bright. So after a few weeks, not a single complaint.
