bit-tech Shopping: Honeywell HT800 Super Turbo Hi Fan

Rating: 8

Time with product: 3

Strengths: Very powerful for size

Weaknesses: a little on the noisy side

Summary: It gets very hotin my bedroom at night during the summer. I always use this fan every summer to make my room cool enough to be able to sleep. It does a fantastic job at circulating all the air in my room. Even when the fan is down on the floor I can feel it up in my bed. It is a little noisy, but now enough to keep me awake.

Strengths: Small, pretty study, can move up from eye-level to top, and relatively strong wind for the size

Weaknesses: loud and very loud. Small children can insert their fingers to the cover -- the cover has moderate gap and the plastic blades are not very deep.

Summary: This tiny fan works fine in small room and preferably in pretty noisy environment so that the loundness of the fan won't be too obvious. It is very loud in quiet environment. Hardly it would be good in bedroom. There are three fan speeds -- each step I called loud, louder, and loudest. The wind is marginal increasing though. For tiny room such as working near the loud desktop, it works fine. Don't let your child play with it since their fingers will get into the cover.

Strengths: small size, multi position, can be mounted on a wall

Weaknesses: loud, the multi position wears off, not good for "big rooms"

Summary: Bought this fan to keep cool during summer. My central air conditioner is programmed to turn fan off when it reaches the temperature setpoint. So although the house feels cool compared to outdoors, if there is no air movement then room temp still feels "warm". Brought in this fan. It is relatively small, about 11"H x 10"W x 6"Depth, compared to box fan and the pedestal fans. Cable length is about 6 feet. I can put it in the corner of the room and instantly feel the cooling effect of convection on my skin. The instructions say that it can be mounted on a wall, but I have not seen a need for this (although it sits pretty low on the floor if you don't use a bookshelf or the corner of your desk to place it). The fan is all plastic, so I don't trust the material's strength to hold it forever in a wall mounting position. The fan can be rotated from full horizontal to full vertical, giving you "customized" air distribution. I would not use this fan in a large room, but it's perfect for a 12'x12'. There are a couple of things that don't make it be a perfect fan. The fan is compact, but it is also loud. My guess is that the fan blade is designed to push a lot of air, at the expense of noise. Can't watch a movie without increasing volume quite a bit. The other negative is that the multi position feature I mentioned, is done by stops, not friction. Every time you change a position, you hear a click. My first Honeywell fan was a novelty for my 4 year old, so kept moving full horizontal to full vertical, to the point of wearing the "stops". Now when I put it full horizontal and after a minute of running on high, I can hear it go click-click, I look at it and the fan is pointing a little higher than horizontal. Not a major issue, since that is still a position that circulates air in the room. I learned my lesson and the second fan is out of mi son's reach (it helped that he lost interest in it). Did I mention I have 3 of these fans. One in studio, one in computer room, and last in spare bedroom. Two of them get good daily use and no problems so far (except as noted above). Great price and meets my needs.
