Review: EXCELLENT HONEYWELL PRODUCT. VERY QUIET, EASY TO PUT TOGETHER. SEVERAL MODES. REMOTE. - I love this Honeywell fan. I ordered this one from desertcart 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 desertcart, 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.
Review: UPDATED! Arrived damaged, but fixed - 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 desertcart. 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 desertcart) 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

## Available Options

This product comes in different **Color, Set** options.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it rotate?**
A: Rotation would imply full 360-degree continuous spinning.  This oscillates, making a 90-degree turn and reversing direction. I mention this because I am a big-mouthed know-it-all who enjoys annoying people.

**Q: Is it quiet?**
A: No. There is something wrong with the product that fluctuates output regardless of the setting it's on. You can hear it speed up and slow down in every fan setting. The fan setting just seems to limit total potential output. Even in sleep mode within a quiet room, I can hear it randomly increase air speed for no reason at all. Amazon is also not allowing negative reviews right now, which I can only assume is part of a paid promotion of the product.

**Q: How long is the cord?**
A: All of our fans come equipped with a 6ft long cord. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com. Thank you.

**Q: can this fan be cleaned**
A: It can be wiped down and vacuumed but I purchased what they called a filter from Pollen Tec on Amason.   SKU was HW_TF_HYF260B it also fits the 290Bmodel.  ASIN: is B07CG3WJG3.   It's a thin cover that fits around the fan. You can vacuum the cover with your soft brush attachment and is hand washable, air dry.   Effective at filtering airborne pollen dust, mold spores, and pet dander. A little pricey but if it keeps the fan clean and lasting longer a good investment.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a typical fan. Better
*by M***G on July 14, 2026*

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
