Customer Review: Honeywell remote control stand fan
Summary: 4 Stars
I had purchased this fan 3years ago and was completly satisfied with it. So I finally purchased one for our bedroom. When there is no need for the A/C we use the fan with great results. I soley recommend this product.Customer Review: Honeywell wind tunnel
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this fan for my brother who likes to sleep in hurricane conditions. He is not bothered by the noise, and absolutely loves this product. Unfortunately, you cannot get this fan affordably on Amazon anymore. I would caution those who have Vizio TVs, as the Honeywell remote uses the same frequency. If you turn the volume up/down on the TV, or turn the TV on/off, you adjust the speed of the fan. This information is helpful to those who have universal remotes and want to program it to control their fans...just look for Vizio TV codes!Customer Review: I LOVE / HATE THIS FAN

There are many well written reviews about this fan so I won't repeat in detail what you have already read. This is a very good fan that moves a tremendous amount of air, the lowest speed feels like high. To accomplish this the fan blade is very narrow and looks like an airplane propeller. The downside is it is extremely loud. The fan velocity is so powerful it would probably take off if you put wings on it. I had to turn the T.V. volume up quite loud just to hear it. I was ready to return it but found a solution. I purchased this fan because the Lasko fan that I had been using died. I put the wide Lasko fan blade on the Honeywell and it completely solved the problem. It didn't move quite as much air but it was dead quiet. This probably won't help you with your buying decision. You're not going to purchase this fan knowing that there is a loudness problem with the fan blade. Honeywell needs to correct this. My advise is to keep looking.Customer Review: I Like It Loud...
Summary: 3 Stars
I actually really like the fan, but the seller leaves a whole lot to be desired. This rating is based more on the fan than the horrible shipping, however. Despite that I thought I would share my experience. The fan arrived late in it's point-of-sale box. No care hd been made to package it at all. It would be like pulling a product off the aisle at Wal-mart and sticking a shipping label on the box. It arrived soaking wet and torn in half with a crude attempt to tape the box back together. The blade guard was warped and the console buttons broken so I returned it.
I waited a good month or so before finally calling. They had left my return on the floor in some warehouse and hadn't bothered to send my replacement. Again I wait and call and they had failed to send the replacement again, but this is all neither here nor there.
The fan does feel cheap, the remote control is even cheaper. If you're buying this or the remote I would suggest against it. For its size this fan puts out a lot of air and it is nice and loud. I was looking for a loud fan, it helps me sleep, and this fit the bill admirably. The breeze feature is nice but too annoying to use. The revving and slowing of the motor along with the clunk of the blades engaging as it speeds up just takes away from the relaxing atmosphere this mode woul otherwise create.
My biggest problem with this fan is its remote capabilities. I have this fan in a room with a Tivo and a Panasonic plasma television. Both of these devices have remote controls that -constantly- change the speed of the fan and set it to the breeze mode. The Tivo doesn't do it very often, mybe once every two days. The Panasonic on the other hand... its remote (even programmed through the Tivo remote and other programmable remotes) must be on a very close frequency because it changed settings on my fan dozens of times a day. I'm not so lazy I need a remote for my fan, but I do hate getting up to reset it every time I change a channel since I no longer have the fan remote. The first thing I did was throw that silly piece of plastic away.
So if you want a nice loud and powerful fan and don't mind dealing with the horrible company shipping it to you, go for it. Just keep in mind that any of your remotes are liable to set this thing off, especially you Panasonic owners (the Panasonic in the other room does it a lot too, my Samsung used to but not so often). I have attempted to cover what I thought was the sensor with electrical tape and duct tape but it has done no good so far.
Customer Review: I love it!!

I was getting a fan for me bedroom. I love the fact that this fan has a remote. It circulates air very well and it was very easy to assemble. I love this fan!!!
