Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell HT804 Super Turbo High Performance Fan, WhiteCustomer Review: A great fan at half the price Summary: 5 Stars
I am annoyed. The fan gets 5 stars because it is a great little fan. So why am I annoyed?
Some background: a few years ago, I bought the same fan in black (the Honeywell HT800) from Amazon and paid as I recall $12-13 and the shipping was free. The fan is a close copy of something you might get from Vornado, with similar high quality construction and good air moving capability. I was so pleased with it, I thought I would buy a few more from Amazon. Apparently the HT800 is either in short supply or discontinued, because Amazon no longer directly sells it, although the Amazon marketplace sellers do. With shipping, it is now more than twice the price. That is unacceptable.
It turns out the HT804 is identical to the HT800 except for color (white versus) black, but the price is again the problem. Amazon's reseller are charging whatever the market will bear.
Please understand I am not knocking Amazon. I love Amazon. Amazon is my favorite internet company and the service I have received from Amazon is unmatched. But apparently Amazon cannot set the prices the reseller's charge. And that is too bad.
Elsewhere, the HT800 can be bought at the same inflated prices you will find on Amazon. The white HT804 is a different matter. I was able to locate a source on the internet selling the HT804 for $8.00 plus shipping. I bought three. With shipping, the total average price for each was $12.
Amazon can't like this review. No company would, because it is a direct criticism of a company policy. But if you are reading this review, then it reflects the fact that Amazon is honest with its customers by allowing such a criticism to be posted.
