Honeywell QuietSet Tower Fan with Remote Control - 5 Speed Settings, 75° Oscillation, Timer Function - Ideal for Bedroom, Office & Living Room Cooling

Bought mine a week before the micro-heatwave - it was appreciated. After some research and comparison of tower fans on offer, this unit came out on top for price vs. performance.I was careful to buy this older revision design, not the newer version which has an issue with an annoying harmonic ("low rumble sound"). This fan basically produces brown noise across the spectrum with no annoying peaky frequencies at any of the fan speeds, just increased amplitude (confirmed with a couple of spectral analysers).The motor is hardly whisper quiet, but I'd have no problem sleeping with it running. The timer facility is great - it will either turn on in (x) hours from now, or turn off in (x) hours from now if already running.The motorised rotation works fine, smooth and with no extra noise, and the IR remote control is very useful. It's easy to carry and isn't heavy at all. The base is a slightly flexible plastic construction which snap-fits to the final shape, not the sturdiest in the world (given how top heavy it is) but it won't tip over without provocation.it took about 10 minutes from opening the box to building and attaching the base and turning it on.
