What's great about it: 8 speed settings, thermostat, remote
What's not so great: thermostat, noisy on last three settings
I have had this fan for a full year now, so I cannot comment on other reviewers issue with it dying within a few weeks to a few months. As to the actual fan it has been doing its intended job for the most part.
First off, the fan has never died on me. I do have it plugged into a surge protector, which all electronic devices should be plugged into regardless of price, multiple reasons for this. It rattled for awhile on the 4/5 settings, however after tightening down the screws that went away. It does move a fair amount of air with settings 4-8, 1-3 are just gimmicky. The oscillation works as expected, and has a fairly good sweep of a room if placed in the middle.
The remote is a remote so Ill move past this.
Thirdly the thermostat worked great for about 6 months, before I got an E2 error from the display, which basically means my outlet is bad, which its not, or the fuse is bad on the fan. Not having a thermostat is not the end of the world, however it was nice to know the current temperature in the room.
All in all a solid mid range fan, that has a not so solid price tag on it. If it was lowered 15-20 dollars it would be a much more reasonable purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought one of these around April last year and by August it was no longer working. A friend bought one, while mine still worked, and it stopped working within 2 weeks. Seems these fans are shoddy and I would never recommend or buy a Honeywell fan again.
When it worked, it was great, good airflow, settings, etc... but when a fan ceases to work within a year....well that's not a good thing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Quiet, cools well for one season
What's not so great: won't last, only good for one summer
I had the same problem as everyone else. It worked great for the first summer. Cools well and it's pretty quiet. I started using it again this week and after a few days it just stopped. Won't power on at all. I guess it was meant to only be seasonal. Unfortunately for me I bought it with a gift card and didn't save the receipt.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Keeps room cool, Not horribly loud like most fans
What's not so great: Short Life Span
This fan worked amazing for ONE summer. My room (which has Attic Ceilings) can get really hot during summer days and nights. This fan never let my room get above 85 degrees (Whoo)! ......Unfortunately it will not turn on for summer 2... This fan is only worth it if you buy the protection plan on it, so that every summer you go buy yourself a new one...UGH
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Features
What's not so great: Unacceptable life span
When my wife and I decided we needed a fan for this upcoming summer, we headed over to Best Buy to buy a fan using a couple of gift cards we had laying around. We decided to buy this one because of the style and the features it provided. We took it home and used it for about a month. We only used it maybe, maximum, 10 times before it suddenly stopped working. It was working fine the night before and now, it doesn't even turn on. It literally just dropped dead and chose that it had better things to do than to cool us at night.
Head our warning: DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK! Sadly, I didn't get a chance to check the reviews on the website to find out that other people have had the same problem where their fan just decided to stop working. Currently, I'm in the process of finding my receipt to take it back.
The features are good if it actually lasts for more than a month but it is totally not worth risking $70 for a fan that is incompletely unreliable. This is unacceptable and the maker of this fan should be ashamed of themselves for selling this to their consumers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: It looks great and has multiple speeds.
What's not so great: Nothing yet.
I bought this fan about a month ago and haven't had any problems with it. The remote works from a good distance and it runs smoothly. This is the nicest tower fan i've had and seen in stores so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: only worked a few times
I was so excited about my new fan. I purchased it in late January and as we were having a rather odd winter here in Miami with temperatures dipping into the 30's I did not have much need for it. I used it a few times in late March and it worked fine. April hit and so did the warm weather however I only used it a few times. Well this past Friday night it worked and I went out of town on Saturday morning returning on Sunday evening to a fan that just quit. Just as the review before said. "It just died"
Thank goodness the store where I purchased it were wonderful and gave me a full refund.
Now I am hot and bothered and in search of a good fan...
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to set up
What's not so great: It only worked once and died on us!
I would not suggest buying this product. We bought it for the great features, put it together, and then it only worked once. So I researched the item on the internet and it seems that Honeywell tower fans have this problem. I saw many reviews on other websites where the fan worked once or twice before dying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
