Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, Black
I bought this just by reading the earlier reviews..A few said it is noisy which it is a little bit. But if you want to beat the summer heat and save on the air-conditioner, this is the one to buy. It has three levels to select and the price that it is offered at, it's the best bet...go ahead and buy it and say "No" to the heat....
Customer Review: Amazing but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this fan in the summer of '05 and it turned out to be great. It still works wonders with its amazing power, but this year I took it out of my closet and there was dust all over it. I tried to clean inside but the screw are so weird looking I don't have a tool to take them out. I recommmend gettin at least the black on so dust won't show or just getting another fan if you would keep it in a closet with dust.Customer Review: An OK fan.

This little "Super Turbo" fan moves a lot of air, even on low speed. Physics wins out: with three diminutive blades, six inches across, it does so quite noisily. It's not insanely loud so kudos to the designers and the $15 price point. I bought a second one shortly after the first arrived on my doorstep.
Perfect for common areas in the home, for me it would be intrusive while sleeping. For those needing a "white noise" generator, this one will put out all you need and then some. Spend some time near this fan, turn it off and the silence is deafening!
I have one mounted six feet up on the narrow wall of my 22 by 10 foot kitchen. On high speed it creates a nice breeze across the whole room. Another is similarly mounted in a bathroom and does a quick job of de-steaming after a hot shower and keeping cool while finishing up.
Even though I have a large floor fan in the garage, I'm thinking of getting a third HT804 to place next to the workbench.
I am puzzled about something, though. The product description here tells this can be used "...as a whole room air circulator or for Direct Focused cooling." Similarly, the box says, "Use as an air circulator or for focused cooling," along with a picture showing three arrows pointing in different directions. These words imply dual modes of operation but neither the instructions or the fan itself indicate how this could be. Make no mistake: this fans blows in one and only one direction - straight out the front! One can surmise a communication disconnect between the engineers and the technical writers and package designers.
You can't go wrong at this price if you want to move lots of air with a small footprint. But, if you're wanting quiet operation, you'll need something larger and more money.
Customer Review: Cannot be CLEANED!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Any fan that you cannot open to clean is useless in my opinion. Unless you live in a place where there is no dust, this fan cannot be opened to be cleaned. It's impossible to clean without opening it. I've tried sticking handles with rags, dusters, etc. inside, because you cannot get the screws out to disassemble it. It has some type of bizarre screws that you cannot get out with any type of screwdriver or allen or star wrench. You cannot get in between all of the little slots to clean it with anything. It even says in the specs: "This item does not disassemble."
As far as performance, it works okay if you are just wanting a table top, close range fan. For instance, I have it sitting on my bathroom counter top so that I can have some cool air when I am getting dressed or drying my hair to cool down a bit. I don't image it would be good for anything more! It is extremely loud!
