I received the product on the 19th and assembled it on the 20th hoping its usage will help knock my high energy bill down from its perennial crazy height of $178(?) for a 2 bedroom with minimal use of the A/C, haaa! At first i liked this fan, i think i still do if only i have one that is really functional. Yes, it has 8 speed control which i found very useful in the 2+ days it worked for me. Sometimes the air that blows from my very reliable Lasko tower fan (very sturdy and does what its meant to do-blow air) can become a bit uncomfortable and cold even on its lowest speed like in the early hours of the morning,say from 3am onwards. In using this Honeywell fan, one comes to appreciate those varied speeds of sleep,whisper,calm,white noise and relaxwhich has been the highest speed i attained while using it. The higher speeds are refresh,cool and power cool.
At the whisper and calm speed, the air is neither too little or much but just appropriate to keep you quite cool and not uncomfortable-when the fan is working!
Alas, twice i woke up to find myself sweating. The fan is oscillating quite well...but NO AIR. At first i thought maybe my skin has become toughened like an alligators' and so cannot feel its coolness, so i held a paper in font of it, nothing, nada,zip air. To compound the ridiculousness of the situation, the temperature on it changed from 78-77-76 degrees when i increased the speed from calm to the highest speed even though its primary task of dissipating air has been defeated.Speeds change,it oscillates-just nothing,empty air.
The 2 stars are for the period it worked and not indicative of the entire Honeywell collection, maybe it is just my luck of the draw that got me this defective one.If this thing was working as my Lasko fan( longevity), this is really a 5 star product and my love for it would have exceeded my Lasko,really. The calm and whisper speed really gives a gentle breeze when used in A/C.. Now i have to worry about buying an outer box to transport this product back, this is an inconvenience you do not worry about when dealing with Walmart. Oh, i am not knocking Amazon in anyway, their Customer service response is top notch hands down.
Honeywell need to do a little more testing on this HY-280. But i am not sure i want to try this product again for my money given that it can fail anytime.Longevity is quite important.

The second fan works great. The first one arrived without the remote control so I had to return it. The new one arrived quickly and works great.Best Deals on Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan
A daughter purchased one just like it and recommended it to me when I needed to purchase a new fan. It is quiet as a whisper. It refreshes an entire space. The settings are easy to use and very helpful for comfort.Honest reviews on Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room Tower Fan
I have owned 2 of this same exact fan, purchased from a local retail giant. I love the fan, I love the features and it does a great job cooling the room (WHEN IT WORKS).It's quiet and efficient, and a lot more settings than most fans of this type.
THE PROBLEM THOUGH is that the first one I purchased completely stopped working after approx. 6-9 months of using it. I thought surely being a big brand name and all that maybe it was a fluke and decided to go back and by another one just like it. Well this one lasted a little longer, maybe 12 months and it has now stopped functioning as well. The first one completely broke, and acted like it had no power to it. It wouldn't turn on and the controls didn't light up. The 2nd one, turns on, the controls light up but the fan won't turn on and it won't oscillate.
Overall, I wouldn't buy this fan, unless you don't mind buying a new one at least once a year.

I'm a musician and I play a quiet instrument. This fan is the quietest I've ever seen.There's a notch in the base for the power cord to come out. But nothing to make the cord
stay in the notch. A bit funny. I fixed it with some string and glue. Looks ugly, but
it prevents unnecessary wear on the insulation.
Assembly was not easy. And the assembly instructions left something to be desired.
But, overall a good fan. If you're looking from a quiet one, this is worth a try.
