Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HFS641P 16-Inch Remote Control Stand Fan
Customer Review: Big time airflow = Big time sound levels
Summary: 4 Stars
First, this fan is made well. It is VERY powerful, even on low. It is VERY loud, even on low. I bought this fan because of the natural wind function that works on all speed settings. This setting makes the fan go from your speed setting to almost off and back to speed again. It simulates natural wind blowing. I have had a fan with this function for years and it is my favorite feature on any fan. With the natural wind setting, I do not get a sore throat from leaving the fan on in my bedroom at night.
If you want a fan that has a very low setting, do not buy this one. It is a brute with big time airflow and big time noise. I honestly don't think I have ever seen a consumer grade oscillating fan with so much power.
The remote is of average quality and works as expected. It does not interfere with my home theater equipment as others say it does.
I would buy it again, but I would prefer a lower setting with less noise.
Customer Review: Nice fan, but again with the BEEPS
Summary: 4 Stars
This fan does what I bought it to do, move air around. In that respect, it is awesome for a great price.
However, every time you turn on the blasted thing, it makes an annoying beep. Also when you press any button on the remote to switch modes, the dag-blasted BEEP. Why?
I live in an apartment building with wafer-thin walls and I feel bad for my neighbor when I go to bed really late. I know I can hear the beeps of other people's microwaves and air conditioners so I know that obnoxious beep in the middle of the night probably cuts through her like a hot knife through butter.
I also have a space heater that makes even more obnoxious beeps. Why? Is this some kind of government regulation? Can't they make the audio feedback a little less shrill? A more blunted, less harsh sound? Sheesh!
I'm going to try to take this thing apart and disable it's speaker. After that, this will be the perfect fan.
Customer Review: The Truth
Summary: 4 Stars
I used to have an 18 inch model during my college years and this new one now serves as it's replacement. It's a shame they don't make fans like this anymore. It's not loud. I've had enough fans to know what's loud and what's not. It sounds like any traditional 16 inch stand or desk fan. To make things better, it is powerful. The only thing I dislike about the fan are those grill clamps located on the rear grill. They were on the front grill of my 18 inch model. I know fans are supposed to be child-proof, but you need the jaws of life to pry those clamps open to give this thing a good cleaning. If you want a little delicate piece of junk (like those tower fans) that feels like someone is blowing their hot breath on you, then don't buy this fan. If you want a traditional-looking, poweful fan that's going to last for some years, then here you go. I hope Kaz/Honeywell don't ever discontinue this model.Customer Review: Fan very good, but a bit loud
Summary: 4 Stars
This fan is a bit loud due to its different type of fan blade, but it puts out a lot of air. The fan blade is a turbo prop style blade like found on small aircraft. Thus it puts out a similar sound to an aircraft, much LESS loud than an aircraft, but still louder than most fans. Works great for me and was very easy to assemble. I would recommend this fan to anybody that wants a good fan with remote control that is not concerned with the extra noise. If you want a "whisper quiet" fan, do NOT buy this one. Otherwise this fan is great. Only drawback for me is that you cannot control the oscillation of the fan with the remote. You must control oscillation from the top of the fan itself. Auto-off can be controlled by remote and is 2, 4, 8 hour options. I will likely buy another of these fans next month.Customer Review: modern clean look
Summary: 4 Stars
Great value, solid. I bought a second one. Contempory look with the metal grill and aerodynamic blade. Remote is good. One draw back, the remote will not permit you to toggle between oscillate and fixed position, this must be done manually so if you want to lock the position at a fixed direction you must do it prior to getting comfortable. If you want to go back to oscillate you have to get up and reset the button on the unit itself. Otherwise a great fan. It is slightly on the loud side, more so in the 2-3 setting speed, I use mostly the low speed and it's not too bad but still pretty loud. For the price and the look you will not be disappointed.Best value compared to what I found in the "big"chain stores and a lot less than what they had to offer in way of price.
