Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HF-810 High-Velocity 3-Speed Air-Circulator Floor Fan
Customer Review: Debunking Negative Comments
Summary: 5 Stars
Re operational control is not intuitive - the instruction sheet clearly points out this is a child proof 3-speed switch which needs to be first pushed in, then turned just like a prescription medicine bottle or electric countertop range. Obviously, some people just didn't read the instructions.
Re can't remove grill for cleaning - the instruction sheet again points out where the HIDDEN Philips screws are located to remove the grill. It takes a little work, but isn't difficult.
Re fan makes alot of noise - the low speed on the Honeywell moves more air than the high speed on my slightly smaller high priced "quiet" Bionnaire (sp?) and is comparably quiet for roughly the same amount of air moved. It is louder on high speed.
Re build quality being poor - yes the plastic is thinner than a Vornado or Bionnaire. Nor does it look as refined, but it does the job for a much lower price and has a 5 year warranty. The light weight also makes it much easier to move the fan around. But being light weight, the fan will slide on a slick floor if on the highest speed setting.
Re style not being that great - again the high priced fans look somewhat better, but the Honeywell is still much more attractive than the chrome plated rust prone wire fans of comparable price. The black surface also doesn't show dirt like a metal surface.
Bottom line is it is the best value for the price. And it moves more air than even the high end fans.
Customer Review: Decent for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
This fan can move a lot of air. For the price it's not bad. I use it to blow the cold AC air on the second story of our townhouse to the 3rd floor. For that purpose it works well.
The cons are the control knob is kind of cheap feeling, and a little loose. It's also pretty noisy. On the medium or high setting you can't really be in the same room with it. But if you have it in another room blowing air around the house it is tolerable.
Customer Review: Difficult to Clean - Non-removable Grill
Summary: 3 Stars
This fan moves a lot of air, and is pretty quiet on all three speeds.
The only complaint i have is that it gets dirty (like all fans do), and they used non-philips screws for 2 of the 8 screws that hold the front grill onto the fan. There is really no good way to clean a fan without taking off the grill. I took an 1/8" drill bit and drilled off the heads of the top and bottom screw and took the rest out with a philips screwdriver. Still a bit tedious to clean, but doable.
Customer Review: Exactly what I'm looking for
Summary: 4 Stars
We were looking for a fan that was powerful and moved the air, but also wanted one that made a "white noise" for us to sleep to. This fan is perfect for both those desires. It was exactly what we were looking for. It also turned out not to be to big and clunky and fits nice in the corner of our room, either on the floor or on our nightstand.Customer Review: Excellent Value
Summary: 5 Stars
The fan shipped much faster than I expected it, arriving in only 4 days, even though I had selected "super saver" shipping. It's relatively quiet, considering the amount of air it can move, and it can move a lot of air! The turbo blades make all the difference. I would recommend this product.
