Honeywell HF-910 TurboForce Floor Fan, Large, Black

My office runs hotter than the rest of the house, mostly with all the electronics heating it up. I needed something to cool down the biggest cause of the heat - my computer - along with me sitting next to it. This did the job for me. It has three settings which helped me to cool the space down. I would not say it is strong enough to cool the entire room, but it does a great job of cooling a 6 foot half bubble in front of the fan. I had previously bought a generic brand floor fan, and it barely cooled a foot in front of it. During extreme heat days, I can set this fan to a high level to cool the space down quickly, and then shift to the lower setting within 5-10 minutes to keep a steady cool temperature. In terms of noise level, the noise intensity is slightly different between the three setting with the highest setting obviously the loudest, but even that setting isn't that loud. I can have it running while watching TV, and can easily forget it is there in the background unless the dialogue on screen runs softly. I would compare it to a desk fan. I have one of those white noise sleep machines, and it sounds softer than that. In terms of anything negative, the only thing that comes to mind is how sensitive the tilt is. Whenever I pick it up or move it, the fan wants to quickly tilt to my touch. Once I set it down and reset the direction, it stays in place. Feels like a nitpick to state it, but overall, I love this, and I will probably look to buy the same one if I ever need another one.

I have two Honeywell 810 models. This is a little larger, much quieter and just as powerfull. Head to head the 810 seems to blow harder when set to high but it is an illusion due to the greater amount of noise produced. The air is also concentrated in a smaller diameter in front of that fan (due to it's slightly smaller size) for the first few inches. At a distance the 910 fan feels just as strong but covers a larger area (left to right) in front of the fan. On the newer 910 the differences in the 3 speed settings (low, medium, high) do not seem very disinct but they are. I beleive this is because the Low setting may be factory set a little to strong making it harder to distinguish from the high setting. Another plus for the newer 910 is the front grill is removable for cleaning and the recessed handle is larger and more comfortble making the fan well balanced when moving room to room. I use ours to circulate cooler air from the kitchen to the warmer air in the adjacent great room. The fan is so powerfull that when placed in front of the central airs floor vent in the kitchen that all of the cold air coming from that vent is sucked into the back of the fan and blown out the front dispersing and distributing the conditioned air more evenly.

Bought this fan to replace one of the same size, loaned out and not returned.I was quite surprised at how light it was coming out of the box, and expected the worse. I plugged it in and turned it to the lowest setting. At first I thought it wasn't working right, I put my hand right in front of the fan and couldn't feel much of anything....moved a foot or two away, and then I could really feel it. I pretty much use it 15 ft away, and rarely set it higher than the lowest setting. When put on high, it's makes about 1/2 the noise as any other fan I've used. Great fan, would buy again.

It can move more air at a lower decibel level than the box fans it is replacing, but it has trouble with power draw and construction quality at that same performance point. The fan draws around 64 Watts on Low, 76W on Medium, and 91 on High. The fan angle adjustment sags or gets pushed backwards over time, making it a mildly inconvenient task to find some object that you can wedge between the frame and the fan ducting to keep it still. I tried spraying the pin and spring ratchet mechanism with an oxidizer to rust it and increase friction -- no luck. Then I tried neutralizing the oxidizer and sealing the metal with a corrosion inhibitor, then stuffing the pivot with construction caulking -- which seems to have worked moderately well so far.In the end, if you instead go with a high quality tower fan, you can get more personalized airflow at less than half the power draw and a lower decibel rating, but you still can't go wrong with this fan.

This fan I just opened it up this year and now it’s not working

This fan creates circulation just as it suggests and circulation is quite a different ball game from typical fans. I had been thinking about buying yet another air conditioner before reading about this Honeywell. Placing the fan in the office area where the air conditioner is allows that air to be circulated into the next room [livingroom] as recently outside temps hit the mid ninities. It worked while saving me the price and aggrivation of another air conditioner. This fan makes little noise and mostly it was set to low except the hottest evenings where I set it on medium. I haven't tried the high setting yet. Why bother? The fan is light, has a small footprint and easly transports to other rooms when needed. Savings on electricity will be significant enough in a single season to save me the price of the fan [$40] over adding another energy sapper. That should do it.

Moves a lot of air. Replaced a $20 box fan. Moves more air and moves it farther. Noise level is roughly the same. The Honeywell HF-910 being slightly quieter. The HF-910 seems to have a different pitch/tone to the noise and is not as noticeable/annoying as the box fan. The HF-910 is also heavier and doesn't vibrate like the box fan. I use mine in a bedroom window so the switch being on the back is a bit annoying. Wish they made it in blue like their one smaller fan.
