I needed a fan and I needed it quick. I have 2 bonded macaws that share a room that I use a small oil filled heater with a fan behind it to heat it. Their old fan gave old this morning and it was 38 degrees so I ordered this one. Its size is perfect to sit behind the heater and on the lowest setting distributes the heat around the room better than the old one. The low setting is so quiet to and it will not keep my birds up at night which is honestly a must behind the gentle flow of air on the low setting because their room door is closed for quiet slumber. The medium and high settings are very good too and not obnoxiously noisey or vibratey. Very good fan and the price you cannot beat. Read more
I recently purchased the Honeywell Turboforce Fan HT‑900 and it’s been a standout in terms of performance. First and foremost: it’s so quiet. The noise level is minimal even on higher settings, which makes it perfect for use around my studio, office or home without distracting hum. According to the manufacturer, the aerodynamic “TurboForce” design offers strong airflow and claims to be 25% quieter than similar models. What’s really impressive is how strong the wind felt for such a compact unit. The 11‑inch fan with a pivoting head gives you wide‑area coverage and solid circulation for its size. Additionally, the price point offers excellent value when you compare the performance, build quality and noise level. If you're looking for a reliable desk/table or wall‑mount fan with serious airflow and minimal noise, this one is highly recommended. Read more
Practical, small and powerful. I used frequently during the summer. It's easy to transport and to move it around. I recommend it. The blow of air is strong but not too loud. Ideal for small spaces. Read more
I have had a Honeywell HT-800 for over 12 years. I think I paid just under $10 for it back in 2007. It has been an amazing little fan that has never failed me. I use the fan on the floor facing straight up to circulate the air throughout the room. And it does the job perfectly. In the winter, once I turn on the fan (Slow speed), I notice a major warming in the room, especially on the floor in about 30 minutes. And the same result with air conditioned air in the summer. I also love the slow speed for the perfect white noise at night for deeper better sleeping. And it has always worked very well for that purpose. So you can say it serves two functions overnight. It circulates warm air in winter and cool air in summer, and it helps me get a better sleep. Also on nice low humidity days, I would sit the fan on a window sill and draw in a little fresh cool air. Again on slow speed I felt a great breeze from 15 feet away. Recently after 12 years, the fan started slowing down and sometimes stopping. I took it apart and cleaned and oiled the fan blade axle, and it started working great again and is still going like new. But this recent issue made me decide to buy a replacement, just in case. Of course after the great service of this fan over 12 years, I certainly wanted to get an exact replacement. Unfortunately, I noticed that the Model HT-800 was no longer available, but there is now an HT-900 that looks exactly the same. So I ordered one. The new HT-900 is identical to my old HT-800 in almost every detail. The stand is shaped slightly different but that is not important. And considering that there is no mention anywhere of the fan blade size, it is 7 inches. Otherwise the design of the fan is the same as the old version. The somewhat sad part is that this new HT-900 does not have the higher speed of its older version. The 800 and 900 both have three speeds, but they are very different. I have to run the 900 on hi speed to get similar airflow and sound as the old 800 has on medium speed. My best guess is..... The new 900 is about 35 to 50% slower on all 3 speeds compared to my old 800 The hi speed on the 900 is slightly slower than the hi speed on the old 800. Perhaps 20 to 25% slower. But the difference is easily noticed by both sound of fan speed and by the feel of air-flow. There is one very good reason why the difference in speeds is so important. My old 800 has run on slow speed 99% of the time. Mainly because the slow speed was more than enough speed to serve its purpose. This is a good thing because it means that the fan has never been pushed to its maximum power. That means the fan motor ran cooler and did not have to work as hard. This contributed greatly to its very long lifespan. It is the same principal as how a light bulb on a dimmer will last much longer than the same bulb at full brightness. A 200 watt light bulb dimmed down to 100 watts only runs at half power but still gives a 100 watt light. This extends the bulbs life because the bulbs filament runs cooler than it is rated for. So far the new HT-900 works fine. For the same effect as my old 800, I just turn the speed of the 900 up to medium or hi. I just fear that this will shorten the lifespan of the fan by a lot. You never know, but I doubt this new 900 will last over 12 years like the old 800 has. One other note of interest. For those who are bothered by the loudness of noise from a fan, YES the new HT-900 is much quieter on the slow and medium speeds. But they sacrificed higher airflow and perhaps years of life, for a slower quieter fan. But on a good note, I set the new fan on the floor (Slow speed) aimed straight up to circulate the warm air at the ceiling. It took about twice as long but it finally warmed up the floor and whole room. And it did this quieter so I didn't have to turn up the TV as much. The manufacturer could have simply added a fourth slower speed for quieter running. I recommend this fan, but keep in mind that it may not last as long as the older models did. Read more
My husband is in love with this fan. Over the summer having this available saved us big money on our air conditioning bills. The color is standard black and blends in with our other electronics. It makes just enough white noise that it is pleasant to sleep with it on. The size is easy to travel with, so much so that we bought a second one just for keeping in our loadout bag. It 100% operates as advertised. Honeywell is a quality brand and this fan is very durable. We have hundreds of hours of use on our oldest one and it works just like it was brand new. I cannot recommend this fan enough!!! Read more
It puts out a strong breeze for a small fan. It works great in my home office on hot days. Good quality. Read more
I use the fan to avoid being slow cooked while I work in our loft. I've got a 15 foot loft and this fan evens out the temperature in minutes. It's not silent but the noise level is easily bearable. All in all it's an excellent device for the price. Read more
This fan works great. it was able to push air several feet away from me at a reasonable speed. My room is 15 feet long, and you could feel the fan from that distence on its lowest setting. The ability to point straight up, and with a few extra steps, you can also use it as a powerful laptop cooling fan, mind you there needs to be ventilation or space between the laptop and fan. It is also quiet, the only niose comes from the rushing wind. which i personally preffer. It doesnt have a remote, or battery so no worrying about battery life. It doesnt require assembly, just plug and play functionality. I think it looks fine, but i now am in the market for something wider, so i can have my laptop sit on it. Perhaps Honeywell will make a 15in one? Read more
